OlympicsFan 791 Posted August 19, 2023 #241 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Would be great if Germany could replace their 4th runner for the mixed relay final with Krafzik (if they don't get disqualified). The 4th german runner was atrocious. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

I honestly don't see how this system is worse than the old one with screwing everyone who has the bad luck to be drawn in heat 1 (meaning all later heats can base their pace on that). Edited August 19, 2023 by heywoodu 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!

dodge 818 Posted August 19, 2023 #248 Share Posted August 19, 2023 The opening heat in every middle distance race was always slow, and the last heat would gobble up all the fastest loser spots. This new system is a huge, huge improvement heywoodu, Gianlu33, Topicmaster1010 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say heat 1 went in 8:15 in the old system, then in heat 2 they could 'simply' pace themselves to go for 8:10 or something, which is a rather unfair advantage one would get.
