I still think it's a bit ridiculous to have a world series event during the Olympics. They did the same thing in 2016. Even Lac St. Jean is a bad idea.

yeah...I don't really understand FINA...

 

why always schedule 20% of the entire Series with no chance to have the top swimmers? :wall::hairpull:

 

Lac St.Jean is always in the schedule...I don't remember the last time they didn't have that location among the stops of the Swimming Marathon Series (nor the last time the top swimmers entered the Canadian Summer events)...:mumble:

I can't find a list of competitors. Are Sharon van Rouwendaal :NED and Ferry Weertman :NED competing?

I think so, but I'm not sure at all...

 

I only read about the Italians...

 

we have to wait for FINA to publish some news/results...and knowing how they work, if you don't watch the race on fina.tv (paid service), it's highly likely nothing will be known until the day is over in Qatar...:facepalm:

    • Though I did just see that today's race isn't valid for FIS points.
    • Let's not act as if these things never happen before. Serbia's cross-country skiing drama a week before the Olympic qualifying for Beijing ended: FIS | Cross-Country Results - Zlatibor (SRB) 2021/2022   Drndic with a DNF, despite being - on paper at least - the best athlete. She didn't just 'not finish', she stepped out barely 50 meters before the finish, because if finishing, the points for her competitor would have been better due to the way points are calculated. Ended up with lots and lots of yelling and screaming and fighting and cursing, DNS the next day and in the end Serbia sent none of them.   This is not a shit move by Canada, this is a fault of the system at most.
    • Yes agreed, resetting it would help make it more dramatic as no one would be running away with it. We could also set it that there is a small reward for ranking higher after each round… maybe they start the next round with a “head start” so they bring a few points into the next round? But starting from scratch each round might be cleaner  
    • I like the concept a lot. My only worry would be that the nations doing the best individually would also end up at the top here as teams are only made up of pairs. Whereas in a bigger team it gives the nations not doing so well individually to have another chance if they are lucky enough to be placed in a good team. Any way we can balance it?
    • I thought about accumulating, but for higher drama it may be reset like in cycling track elimination races 
    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).
