Hey everyone. I had a question regarding olympic qualification. An athlete must have their best 5 races average under 120 points and the winner gets 100 points followed by 80 for second place, etc. Wouldnt the winners get less points if lowest points = qualification? Appreciate any help understanding this  

Group C    5 - 9   4 - 1     Standings     9 pts (Q)  6 pts (Q)  3 pts  0 pts   Group D    0 - 8   10 - 0    Standings    and  7 pts (Q)  3 pts  0 pts

Final    0 - 10  (in 4 innings)   Playoff    2 - 3    Repechage     -   playing right now for second ticket to Finals in July 2025        

I watched the long distance replay a while back, and don't remeber having too many issues with the quality. 

I'll have a look tomorrow, thanks! Something like this really stands or falls with the way it is broadcast, for example the 5k races at the Samarkand world championships recently were broadcast horribly and that made it just very shitty to follow  A quick glance at this one makes it look like this is definitely done better.

Replay of the men's and women's short distance from Birmingham 2022 in case you're interested @heywoodu    

Thanks. Odd though, the term marathon is generally used - apart from athletics - to signify something long. It's basically like saying something is the "short distance long distance event"

Ski jumping is a winter Olympic discipline, so I decided to write here. Especially since the independent thread about this sport is currently rarely visited due to the warm weather outside.

What is a 'short distance marathon' event?
