Turns out that I don't really enjoy junior curling. Tactics are just boring, as teams are not willing to take risks, even when they are behind on scoreboard.

 

Well, that's why I wanted to kill my skip a few weeks ago during our league game - no risk at all (and he is already far from being junior, in fact me too, but I have only a little bit over a year of experience on ice). So it's not a matter of age, rather lack of self-confidence.

 

I feel some way of understanding to the Slovenian lead - one too strong, another too weak, another missed by a few milimeters - like I'd seen myself. (So I can say I'm at Olympic level :p )

The most common ways have to do with the shooting. For example going out on the loop with a bullet still in your rifle. One could also seriously hinder another competitor, go out on the course with a rifle that's not properly marked by officials beforehand or firing more than five rounds in one shooting bout in an individial, mass start, pursuit or sprint - that last happened to Taynara in her debut race, where she thought she could use spare munitions :p

Another common one is trying to clear your foresight when you still have a round in the chamber!  :hyper:  Sounds stupid, but people do it all the time.  
 

Also shooting a competitor.

Looking straight into the rifle isn't the best idea, is it, @brunamoura?

 

I nearly got a heart attack when I saw her do that in Arber two seasons ago.

@hckosice Jancova misses a medal by 0.02 :cry:. She’ll have a very small chance in the GS and Slalom.

    • Surely they will unless I am missing something. 
    • So, will they appeal to CAS like in Sinner case?
    • https://www.skysports.com/tennis/news/12110/13262332/iga-swiatek-five-time-grand-slam-champion-accepts-one-month-suspension-in-doping-case Cwnt see WADA not overturning this. One month for a banned substance is very low even for accidental consumption. I’ve only ever heard that short for something banned only in Competition and therefore not seen as fully doping. . 
    • big big news regarding Olympic bronze medalist and two time World Champion  Zurabi Datunashvili   https://ita.sport/news/the-ita-acknowledges-cas-add-decision-sanctioning-wrestler-zurabi-datunashvili-for-anti-doping-rule-violations/   to be honest everything was suspicious about this guy, his sudden improvement since 2021, his body, his sudden retirement in 2023 . its great to see him finally getting caught.   they will reallocate the medals later after the end of the process but his Olympic bronze will go to  Ivan Huklek, I think that will be the first ever wrestling medal for Croatia   his 2021 World title will go  Maskevich and the 2022 gold goes to  Bisultanov Bisultanov will benefit more than anybody else, he also gets a bronze from 2021 and  Kessidis will get a bronze from 2022.
    • After the 1st day only Dominican Republic has not win a medal.     G 6 - S 2 - B 0 -T 8  G 1 - S 4 - B 2 - T 7  G 1 - S 0 - B 0 - T 1  G 0 - S 1 - B 2 - T 3 G 0 - S 1 - B 0 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1
    • I am going to use this as evidence for my belief that the only way for baseball to continue growing is to increase the importance of International tournaments.   Because shocassing stars in those environments is how the MLB can grow their viewership abroad.
    • If this were Milan from 20 years ago, it would be a success but currently it`s just a European average team and on top of that it is not in top form. Milan's defense this season resembles Swiss cheese.
    • Bologna is unfortunately is a team for the Conference League, not the Champions League   Juventus are plagued by injuries and are struggling. On top of that they have a terrible schedule in the CL. In their case qualifying for the play-offs would be a success in this season but I'm not sure how many points they will need to do that. Actually they chave 8 points.
    • Four events with medals awarded halfway into the first day, and already six NOCs are on the medal table
