Commonwealth Games 2018


Recommended Posts

good day for Canada and are beginning to catch up to India for the third place .... 

 

Hope India hold on but with Boxing, Badminton TT and Wrestling ....hope we can hold on to third place that would be the best we have done except when hosting

opinions from canadians ??

Don’t really care about the medal table at the Commonwealth, especially considering how much the program changes year by year. I mostly care about it as a good test in a select few sports where the Commonwealth as a whole is competitive (diving, swimming, triathlon and track cycling come to mind) and as a fun side event otherwise.

Is there any hope for Aruba? In 2015 they had a big chance in Sailing and Bowling, but they fell short. No clue about how their athletes are shaping up for the next edition.

Bowling is always a crapshoot. They came so close in 2015 with 3 top 5 finishes. :( One of these days, something has to give and they will win a medal.

Aruba has a promising crew in the women's 49er FX. Not sure if that is featured in the Pan Ams though.

Right now India should be the favourite to win more gold medals (though in Canada we go by total medals so we have third place on lock down :P). Friday's results will likely determine who will finish on top.

    • I`m a traditionalist and I like alpine skiing competitions in the morning hours, illuminated by the sun In ski jumping this is practically non-existentthis in contrast the early 21st century (It's nice that at least there's Planica at the end of every season). There are also traditional competitions under artificial lights, like in Schladming or Madonna di Campiglio. There's no need to do the same thing everywhere as in ski jumping. Alpine skiing finals are rarely super exciting, because usually everything is clear and the skiers are tired from the long season. Finals were often canceled, so this year it was okay for me. If someone wanted a spectacle, that's what the Olympics Games or the World Cup in Kitzbuchel.

    • Baffling scheduling again. It's like FIS want to drive people away.    It's the Finals, on paper your big conclusion to the season, yet it feels like "let's get this over with". Just compare how the ATP treat their finals with this.   Ok, you want to have the GS & SL on Tuesday/Wednesday. That's fine, i've been advocating for more mid-week starts to begin with. But why, oh why do you have them in the middle of the day, on a work week.  Why aren't you having them in the evening, in prime time, when people are off work. Make it a big special event, which people want to visit and not during the day in front of a 100 fans. It's not that hard to choose a place with some floodlights.     And even this week we don't have Champion League football, so the night is free from big competition. Perfect opportunity to have alpine skiing on TV right now, but noooo.
