Essentially tied for 4th.  I could see that Woods was in a bad spot when the sprint started, boxed in.  Too bad, I thought he was pulling away for the silver when they entered the stadium.  Like I said, there's still the time trial.  

Woods is not doing the Time trial... only Houle is

Is Woods in the Time Trial? I didn't think he was entered in that.

 

I agree - it really looked like he was getting boxed in as they entered the last few meters.

This doesn't bode well for Pickrem this week. Hope its minor and she'll be back for the 200 IM.

 

I was wondering why she haven’t showed up.  Hopefully she will be ok for the next races.

There's some more info here - https://swimswam.com/sydney-pickrem-skips-400-im-prelim-due-to-non-covid-medical-reasons/

 

It looks like it was likely just a withdrawal so she can focus on her other events.

Thank you, I am relieved :)

The way I see it, whichever team wins the Japan/Canada game tomorrow will play for gold.  No disrespect to Italy, but they haven't even scored a run in 3 games so I assume Canada will beat them.  If CAN wins and USA beats Japan then it'll be USA vs CAN for gold.  If Japan pulls it off, all three will have 4-1 records while beating each other.  It really seems like the USA would finish 3rd on runs for the tie breaker.  

 

As for the soccer girls, I've been unimpressed thus far.  They definitely have individuals that look good but it seems like their system is letting them down.  Way too hesitant, always looking to pass back instead of striking, trying to hold a lead instead of continuing to play hard.  Actually reminds me of my Habs, during the regular season anyway.  But look at what happened in the playoffs.  Hopefully the ladies can figure it out like that.  

 

The road race still stings a bit because Woods was looking so good, breaking away twice.  That whole following group was annoying me, it looked like no one wanted to win.  Even at the end, they were all looking at each other for permission to sprint.  Like, you're 200m away from the finish.  I get strategy, but just go if you can.

    • After all, Trento is the capital of Alto Adige... For me personally Trento is nicer places than Bolzano, but I haven't been there for many years, so maybe I would have a different opinion now.

    • A comeback would absolutely be doable  - Joe Pavey, Mara Yamauci  & Georgia Hunter Bell all rejoined the sport very successfully after many years out with careers or family.
    • That's great, congratulations to both of you! I wish her a good recovery. 
    • This is not a full retirement, but kind of a break/sabbatical due to...reasons.    For those who have been following @brunamoura's journey towards and last February eventually, finally, at the Olympics, this might be an interesting update. The 2030 Olympics are still in her sight, but next year's world championships in February seem...unlikely.   She still needs to do at least two surgeries, one on her nasal cavities due to a chronic inflammation that has been bothering her for years, and one on her legs. In the Olympic season she struggled immensely with pain in her legs, which in the freestyle technique made her sometimes just not even able to move and therefore finish or even start the races. The Olympic 10k freestyle was hard and painful, but she managed to get through it. We knew she was dealing with compartment syndrome, which is quite serious and certainly needs to be dealt with surgically, but the recovery time for that meant that doing so during the season would likely jeopardize the Olympics - again.   The plan was to do the surgeries this year, but that's unlikely to happen now...    
    • My admittedly tiny sample at least made it feel like the safest and nicest place     Milan....I was very glad to be out of there, Bologna almost felt even worse, and I was also happy to leave Trento behind after barely a day there   Livigno didn't feel bad like that, the issue there is that Livigno people seem to believe the world outside of Livigno doesn't really exist.   Every time I have been in South Tyrol though, it always just felt...lovely, cozy, nice, friendly, and so on.   But obviously that is all a matter of opinion. Besides that I mostly went on statistics and Alto Adige generally scoring very high in things like quality of life and low crime rates  
    • Very interesting Article, not a lot of vast shocks in it, but great that she's found some happiness. She switched allegiance to Ireland from the US quietly a few years back, but I'd say the odds on her acting on it are pretty long - still, it maybe feels like a little statement of emancipation to herself, in which case, good on her.
    • That Kazda´s first goal was also something else
