Have a feeling the two Chinese meets are going to struggle to attract household names.

Probability the Italian meeting will be in Milan.

Not sure how sad that is, considering how dumb these rankings are :p 

No no, there is one of the most important ways to qualify in the OG . Not all athletes can make the entry standart

The thing is it makes it be more about having a good enough manager to get you in big meets, instead of simply being good. Not sure about the exact numbers, but for example a high jumper could get more for a 2.24m in a big meet than a 2.31m in a small meet, that's just weird.

I think, thai it's true. Competition score is the one of the most stupid things in athletics. But can we do anything else?

    • Yes (with the caveat that you'd need to change how you time the start of a run), but when looking at a 0.001s difference in a ski race you're just doing a coin flip anyway.   In general I think less significant figure in timing is better, because it ensures you're only measuring the actual performance and not stastical noise - if I had my way timing would not go above 10th of a second for endurance sports (heck I'm fine with just looking at seconds), 100th of a second for shorter time trials (like alpine skiing or speed skating) and 1000th of a second for head to head racing.   I took a physics class in university about error analysis (basically accounting for the limits of the accuracy of your instruments in scientific experiments) and it really radicalized me in my view that some sports are timed to a degree of "precision" that doesn't make sense.
    • Been a while since we've had a good judging scandal & here's a classic.   "A Cypriot rhythmic gymnastics judge has been banned for four years for manipulating scores to help her compatriot qualify for the Paris Olympics."     https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/articles/ckgnp3j646xo
    • 7 is just really curious indeed     The women are like 90% sure of having 4. It is highly unrealistic for them to drop down, and very unrealistic as well to go up. And even so, if they drop down one 'step', the weird qualifying system in biathlon means they'd go from 4 to, at best, 2.   The men still have a tiny chance to go to 4, but not likely. Meaning they'll stay with maximum 2 athletes (good chance it will be 2, but it might become 1 if things go bad).   I don't even see how any of these combinations can end up with 7 athletes     Most likely: 4 women, 2 men = 6 Somewhat unlikely, but not impossible: 4 women, 1 man = 5 Very unlikely: 4 women, 0 men = 4 Even more unlikely: 2 women, 0-2 men = 2-4   I don't get how to get to 7  
    • Live coverage that annoyingly restricted kind that you can't rewind or pause, but some commentary at least, so if you miss your bus you miss the ceremony.  Will wait for the repost. 
    • The ceremony is basically Hangzhou 2022 done in winter theme and indoors
    • Camera turns to the CHinese leader when Taiwan came out
