heywoodu 13,560 Posted August 31, 2019 #131 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Why is (for example) the M4- called 'coxless four', and M4x called 'quadruple sculls', even though the quadruple sculls also is coxless? If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Aren't the sculls events always coxless? AlFHg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaileena 1 Posted August 31, 2019 #135 Share Posted August 31, 2019 The wind is very mixed today. Some tracks are great and some are terrible. German women are not so weak that they lose 10 seconds with the first three in W4x. I wonder what happened to Australia in M4-. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there were other competitions in which we had, for example, a 2+ and a 4+ (like the Abbagnale brothers and Di Capua ) which were not sculls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phelps 6,872 Posted August 31, 2019 #139 Share Posted August 31, 2019 very, very disappointing results for Italy... we lost 1 Gold (M4X) and 1 Silver (M4-) medal from last year in the space of less than half an hour...and earlier we saw the epic fail of our Golden Pair from 2017... we might have got even more Olympic quota than expected, but if it wasn't for the usual suspects (LM2X), we wouldn't get a single medal in the Olympic classes... definitely not a good way to enter the Olympic Games next year...

OlympicsFan 783 Posted August 31, 2019 #140 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Absolutely ridiculous results so far. Ireland, Poland and the Netherlands are suddenly powerhouses. Meanwhile the powerhouses Great Britain and Germany barely win any medals. The Netherlands have 5 medals in olympic events after the first day, more than Germany, GB, China and the US combined. No other nation has more than 3 medals. The Netherlands are making a complete mockery of this sport. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
