Men's Futsal FIFA World Cup 2024 (European Main Round, Week 5)

3rd exchange was one unbelievable absurdity.   Our last leg was not in the exchange zone during the exchange... the reason : Bulina accidentally (at least I really hope) took from the rack one ski of our biathlete. They found the mistake a while later...   I swear. it is true   Maria Remenova had a big problem before the start when Latvian Bulina took one of her skis from the ski rack after the technical check and of course you can't race with one ski. There was some investigation as to what happened and by the time the Latvian figured out that she had someone else's ski, Ema was already at the finish line looking for her missing teammate . So she had to wait in the handover area while Maria quickly switched on her ski and went on the track.

If some of the top athletes raced the world indoors a few months after they peaked for the Olympics, I’m certain you’d see records tumble too. It’s more like seeing 3/4 records fall there too with the make up of events too.    There were a lot of “soft” world records held by swimmers who wouldn’t be in the discussion for “best ever”   We’re all experienced enough sports watchers to be guarded against any “super” achievements, but I do think there are lots of extenuating circumstances here. Not least of which is the true dopers wouldn’t bother with the world short course champs 

Julia Tannheimer is such an impressive talent.
