I actually think this format is perfect

I’m sorry but I find this incredibly sexist and wrong. Woman are “not interested” Sport because those in charge of culture and sports (the all boys club) have not given them opportunities.

 

no, here in Europe it's not like that...

it's not a question of being sexist...it's really like @dcro wrote...

most girls here are not really interested in sports (especially some not so popular disciplines not seen as "female oriented"), even when they're given the same exact opportunities as the boys...

Right, but it still stands that most culture discourages women from participating in sports. There is also a lack of money and funding for women’s sports because of sexist beliefs. How are women supposed to be motivated, if men do not support them and only discourage them.

Cool, the canoe slalom races from 5:00 to 7:50 AM our time and 50km Race Walk from 21:00 to 01:30 our time :thumbup:

 

 :mumble::crazy:

 

for what I see, the men's 50km race walk starts at 6 a.m. Tokyo time, which means 11 p.m. of the previous day here in Central Europe (and not 9 p.m. CET)...:evil:

and also the Slalom Canoeing races start at 6 a.m. (qualifications) and 7 a.m. (semis & finals) CET...

in Summer, Tokyo time is UTC+9, which means CET+7...:evil:

p.s. I guess the schedule has been compiled by the same genious that made the Pyeongchang one...almost all the finals are locked in the 6 to 10 p.m. local time (and a few in the morning and in the 2 - 4 p.m. slots)...:facepalm::wall:

It will probably favour the american viewers? Which of course is good for brazilians that share the same time zone :d (in Pyeongchang I slept most of the days because nothing was happening at dawn, except maybe some Cross Country and Curling).

It probably favours the American viewers who are not general sports fans, but only want to see a few medals being decided. If you're a fan of Olympics/general sports, no matter the timezone it just sucks when there's hours and hours without finals, and then a boatload of finals crammed in 2-3 hours so you can't see them all, even though there would have been plenty of time to schedule it in such a way that you could actually see them all.

 

Like in Pyeongchang: almost every day there was a time when for several hours almost nothing happened, and then all of a sudden 4-5 finals happened in the same moment, so even with a lot of available time it was impossible to watch everything live.

By the way, since I'm kind of a noob on reading schedules, the main question for me is: what's the average time on which the day of sports starts and ends?

    • Cogne (ITA) has prevailed over Ulricehamn (SWE) and will replace the World Cup in Nove Mesto (CZE). This means that a total of 10 World Cup races are planned in Italy next season.  
    • What's worse there is that it took insanely long for anyone to even go there and try to help her....like, nothing happened, at all. She was crying out in pain in the pouring rain and nobody came to help, that was awful. And then someone finally went there....and just picked up her bike to move it away. Come on.
    • Pointsbet Invitational on this week!    Already a few upsets in the round of 16 with Team McDonald defeating Team Dunstone (not the biggest of the surprises, he took Team Carruthers the distance at the provincial playdowns), Team Asselin defeating Team Carruthers, and perhaps the biggest one Team MacNutt defeating Team Einarson (I will also add that Birchard suffered a knee injury recently and is taking some time off, so Walker is coming in as a replacement)
    • top athletes are still paid well enough to keep them in the country. that also means that they degrade and wouldn't be good enough for any other country
    • Thanks for reporting it! I have installed a new feature where the content of ignored users is "more" ignored than before, meaning it also does not appear in the post feed block. But something is wrong now and it "too" ignored, ignoring the whole threads where ignored users have posted Anyway no worries, no content has been deleted and hopefully it will be fixed soon.
    • @Sindo May apologies for using a wrong thread for it, but lots of threads give me this screen when I try to open them:     That is including the announcements thread and the problems/suggestions thread, where I originally wanted to post this of course, but yeah...the post thing is gone there     There seems to be some error with loading posts somehow. On the front page, this thread here for example is reported as having at least one post today, but the most recent one I see is from a week ago. Something going on?
    • Good morning everyone! Of course I would not let Brazil out of this fun tradition 🤪 so it is for sure a valid reason to find some extra time between trainings and work for.   Well, here is Brazil's choice for this years Contest. I hope that despite of giving it some points or not, you enjoy the message of the lyrics     Perfeitamente imperfeito (Hateen)   Coragem aos que tem valor Que nunca pensam em se entregar Coragem pra poder continuar E não existe nada que você Não seja forte o bastante pra vencer Por que você sabe que nunca está sozinho E eu também já vivi assim Perdido e procurando o fim Só pra fazer toda essa dor passar Mas na vida tudo o que aprendi É que a gente chora, mas também sorri E tudo sempre vai acabar bem Basta acreditar Que todos os seus dias Vão melhorar com o tempo Que todos os seu temores, Erros, faltas e defeitos Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito É assim que deve ser E é assim que eu vou seguir, em frente Se lembra quando você Não conseguia entender? E o seu ódio era o seu melhor amigo? Mas o tempo que você passou Gritando com o mundo inteiro ao seu redor Nunca te fez sentir um pouco melhor São coisas que a gente aprende com o tempo A dar valor a todos os momentos E da tristeza a gente faz sorrir Agora entendo e já parece tão certo Estou feliz e já me sinto completo Por que tenho a certeza De que não acabo aqui Basta acreditar Que todos os seus dias Vão melhorar com o tempo Que todos os seus temores Erros, faltas e defeitos Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito É assim que deve ser É assim que eu vou seguir Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Se lembra quando você Não conseguia entender?
