Wrote an article about the growing issue of horror crashes last week: https://www.infobae.com/aroundtherings/articles/2022/08/01/olympic-champion-questions-safety-of-track-cycling-after-horrific-crash-at-commonwealth-games/

 

It seems near impossible to have a major event where there isn’t a horrific crash or incident at the moment. 

“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair” - Nelson Mandela

So... you all know how sport commentators always mixes up Slovakia and Slovenia or Lithuania and Latvia.... BBC commentators now mixing Poland and Portugal

The GB male sprinters have been quite successful today but they're really hating the track in their interviews.

"No tactics in it, whoever gets a big push off the line wins"

Yeah, late overtaking seems next to impossible. Turns take a lot of track and obviously you can't really do anything there (as proven by Rudyk).

 

250 m should be the bare minimum imo, but after this 200 m experience, I think 333 or 400 m would work best for track cycling. Less crashes, and definitely more nail-biting sprints.

Very bad fall for Letizia, who lost her lucidity. Apparently she thought she was in the Olympics after falling, luckily she is now in the hospital and has regained her sanity

Just saw the replay. They brought out the green screen to shield her. They must have feared the worst at the time.

TV director completely misses out on the battle for bronze in scratch. Gold and silver were already decided.

Scratch is one the races absolutely effected by the short track. Much easier to get a lap

Apparently the points race can only have 20 participants, but there are 21 entries....so everyone has to do a qualifying race :lol: 

 

First one has 11 riders, top-10 qualifies, second one has 10 riders and well...you know, just finish :p 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

      In the USSR, when Stalin died, there was de-Stalinization but some of his monuments remained, although, for example, the names of cities were changed. I feel sorry for the people living in Turkmenistan or smiliar countries but what can be done? The USA could to introduce some civilized life in Afghanistan but this government was so weak that it fell a few weeks after the Americans left. It would probably be similar here.

      Wrestling UWW Non-Olympic Weight Categories World Championships 2024

      By MHSN · Posted

      I love to see more competitions but we had the highest level for 6 weights in Paris, non-Olympic events also needed a top tier competition for this year of 2024.   considering the fact that the IOC is shrinking the competition to just 16 per weight, it wouldn't that bad to have a full 10 weight competition for each style, giving the chance to everybody.   but we would see lots of big names not participating because of the Olympics (and the recovery time after that) so I think that was the best solution.    ps: if it was up to me entirely  I think 8 weights is good enough for men (6 is too less, 10 is too much) and all of them should be in the Olympics. but unfortunately it's up to King T. and his goons.
