Gaby Dabrowski/Erin Routliffe (New Zealand) start 2-0 at the WTA Finals, after a 6-4, 6-2 win over Vera Zvonareva/Laura Siegemund (Russia/Germany) :cheer:

 

5th WTA Finals for Dabrowski, no semifinals yet, but it may well change this year. 
 

Fun fact, Routliffe formerly represented Canada, but switched to New Zealand in 2017. She also has a sister, Tess Routliffe who represents Canada in para swimming!

    • Yes (with the caveat that you'd need to change how you time the start of a run), but when looking at a 0.001s difference in a ski race you're just doing a coin flip anyway.   In general I think less significant figure in timing is better, because it ensures you're only measuring the actual performance and not stastical noise - if I had my way timing would not go above 10th of a second for endurance sports (heck I'm fine with just looking at seconds), 100th of a second for shorter time trials (like alpine skiing or speed skating) and 1000th of a second for head to head racing.   I took a physics class in university about error analysis (basically accounting for the limits of the accuracy of your instruments in scientific experiments) and it really radicalized me in my view that some sports are timed to a degree of "precision" that doesn't make sense.
    • Been a while since we've had a good judging scandal & here's a classic.   "A Cypriot rhythmic gymnastics judge has been banned for four years for manipulating scores to help her compatriot qualify for the Paris Olympics."     https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/articles/ckgnp3j646xo
    • 7 is just really curious indeed     The women are like 90% sure of having 4. It is highly unrealistic for them to drop down, and very unrealistic as well to go up. And even so, if they drop down one 'step', the weird qualifying system in biathlon means they'd go from 4 to, at best, 2.   The men still have a tiny chance to go to 4, but not likely. Meaning they'll stay with maximum 2 athletes (good chance it will be 2, but it might become 1 if things go bad).   I don't even see how any of these combinations can end up with 7 athletes     Most likely: 4 women, 2 men = 6 Somewhat unlikely, but not impossible: 4 women, 1 man = 5 Very unlikely: 4 women, 0 men = 4 Even more unlikely: 2 women, 0-2 men = 2-4   I don't get how to get to 7  
    • Live coverage that annoyingly restricted kind that you can't rewind or pause, but some commentary at least, so if you miss your bus you miss the ceremony.  Will wait for the repost. 
    • The ceremony is basically Hangzhou 2022 done in winter theme and indoors
