I watch a bit of equestrian once in four years and if the jumping is shown on Dutch TV that's with Dutch commentary, if it's only on a stream it's with no commentary. I've also never had the need to watch gymnastics with English commentary. There really isn't that much I need to watch with English commentary, luckily.

hckošice 13,720 Posted January 15, 2020 #1002 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Just now, dcro said: I wonder if coaches were allowed to cement weak players on the bench (like those from Turkmenistan and Luxembourg). No. The rules are clear, every player had to play. In fact every player had the same ice time. 3 periodes of 16 minutes each. 3 lines of 3 players + 2 alternating guys (every match 2 different players), the first line play the whole match meanwhile the other two lines add the alternates for every second shift to replace always another player. For every game the first line has to be different, in match 2 the 2nd line became the 1st line etc... each shift is on the ice for exactly for 1 minute and have to be changed by the next line (48 shifts in total) Each team had 2 Goaltenders, they were changed every 8 minutes, so even the goalies had the same ice time. dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, a stride is a bit faster than a gait, but slower than a run. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

heywoodu 13,845 Posted January 15, 2020 #1008 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Anyone else noticed how every few skiers someone is 'a powerful athlete who can make up time in the bottom!' who then goes on to follow the trend of his run and not make up time in the bottom?
