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.

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

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

in the end it's not that bad...broken collarbone and concussion for her (but never lost consciousness, she was only a bit confused)...

 

she should be released by the hospital before tonight...

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 

it was top 8 from each heat to qualify, however...;)

 

by the way, we have troubles with the clock once again...:facepalm: :wall:

    • 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 
    • First day of sporting action today. There's livestreams available on the official website: https://www.bolivarianos2024.pe/envivo/   PanamSports Channel should be broadcasting events as well.
    • Pretty crazy, just imagine if they won the World Baseball Classic (though personally I equate the two pretty closely).
