And more good news - seemingly the BBC are streaming at least some of the Oslo Impossible Games from Bislett on Friday, which probably means there will be other streams as well.

 

Actually the Impossible Games are on BBC Red Button 19:00 on Thursday.  Probably somewhere else as well.

  • 2 weeks later...

There was a meet in Dresden, Germany last night.  A bit low-key, sprints only, but it’s all on YouTube and non-geoblocked.  You’ll probably want a remote control with FF.

 

 

 

There’s another couple of things this weekend, will post the links later.

We've kicked off the athletics season with quite a few competitions, though mostly for children, U18 and U20 categories, with some bigger events starting in two weeks.

 

I spend a fair amount of time analysing the state of our athletics and from what I've gathered so far, quarantine is taking a toll on the results.

 

Of course, everyone is extra rusty, so the real situation is only going to be clear after athletes get to start a bit more and a lot of competent athletes have yet to start in any of the competitions. 

 

On the other hand, both sons of Virgilijus Alekna seem to be throwing the discus fairly far and have already secured their U23 and U20 unofficial qualification marks.

Watching the Swiss meet now.  Lots going on, they are running multiple heats of all events to give as many people a race as possible.  Athletes are mainly Swiss, but quite a few Germans & even Chinese who presumably are based somewhere in Mittel Europa.

 

Feel a bit sorry for the athletes who false start!

And those events were scheduled for September/November...

 

Just wait and see how the whole of 2020/21 Winter season will be cancelled too at this rate. :p

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
    • Just another reason why it's super dumb that the NOC max in freestyle skiing isn't 40.
    • In rugby there's More Squidge Rugby (the main channel has proper videos).
