What strategy? It's 49 km of hanging back in the pack and 1 km sprint. That's all. I'm sorry but you really haven't watched any 50km time trial events in your life?

 

50km ain't a monster tbh. Have you heard of the Vasaloppet for instance?

Obviously you haven’t watched the Olympic or World Championship 50kms if you think that’s how they go...

 

Vasaloppet cool too :cool:

It's down to money. China can buy every God damn Olympics if they want to and were allowed to. Hell, Doha would host WOG if they could ship snow to the Gulf!

 

I can't possibly wait how horrible the Olympic downhill course will be in Beijing.

We don’t know that it will be bad yet (but it probably will be)

I've watched every WOG since 1992 so don't question my judgement. Time trials >>> Mass Start. If it wasn't for Johann Olsson nobody would give a damn about making a breakaway.

Pyeongchang courses were horrible already. They botched the artificial snow conditions too when it was freezing mad out there. Beijing games will be flat course, plus temps & artificial snow. This will be the worst one yet IMO!

I wonder how much they will pay for the electricity, The Qataris will have to work for this climatization system on the stadium probably another 10 years

Wow, a night race, but then maybe today's temperature would have been unbearable. I see they have 33C right now.

 

I see women's race start at the same time.

I liked the the Pyeongchang downhill, the only problem was the wind :(

    • Many things, probably they thought it is already over and the win will come itself... but also Nitra improved their play a lot, they outplayed us in physicality in the last 2 games, they won almost every duel. Was hard to watch. Anyway I am still persuated we will finish the job at home with success on Tuesday
    • If you look at their results this season and on the Super Series, it’s not really that surprising.    I’d consider them to be medal contenders. 
    • At one point it seemed we were making good progress in this sport, but in the past 1-2 years things seem to have hit a standstill..   Ivaylo Ivanov is still our only elite judoka, but he is passing 30. There were/are some promising youngsters, but they haven't been able to make a jump to the senior level. At this Euro we barely had any first round wins (not including Ivanov). In fencing and taekwondo the results are much more visible for us. 
    • yes, but that's only an (important) episode... I mean, what's up with your team more in general...it looks like they got the classic "fear to win", they're not as brilliant as they were in the early games of the series
    • after a few leagues ended well before the true climax, now we have both leagues from the good, old Czechoslovakia going to game #7    shame that both games will be at the exact same time   
    • complete blackout resulting in a 5 minutes major 3 minutes to the end
    • Extraliga Playoffs   The Finals (Best-of-7 Series)   Game #6: HC Kometa Brno (4) - HC Dynamo Pardubice (3)  1-5 (0-1, 0-1, 1-3)   the series is tied 3-3 and also in Czechia we're gonna watch the magic of a game 7...Extraliga does never disappoint its fans    Game #7 is scheduled for Tuesday, April 29th in Pardubice @ 6 p.m. CET
    • Extraliga Playoffs   The Finals (Best-of-7 Series)   Game #6: HK Nitra (3) b. HC Košice (2)  3-1 (1-0, 0-0, 2-1)   Series is tied 3-3, so we go to a high drama decider in a couple of days   Game #7 is scheduled for Tuesday, April 29th in Košice @ 6 p.m. CET     @hckošice  what's happening there? 
    • what a missed chance for     but Giorgia Stangherlin first and Asya Tavano then (in the playoff match, having clearly won the "regular" match against the same opponent) wasted the biggest occasion we ever had in this kind of competition   moreover, in the final match of the "regular 6", Veronica Toniolo got a serious knee injury against Eteri Liparteliani (the match was into the golden score period): she was carted off on a stretcher, screaming in pain 
    • Pogacar just makes it look so easy.  As absurd as it may seem, i actually believe he is thinking about winning all 5 Monuments in one year.   He is likely to have 3 wins and 2 podiums this year, so the goals are set for 26,27
