I could see a world record low score coming up... Well, I was hopelessly wrong. It was their opponents, Nepal, who set the world record. 314 being 13% higher than in any other of the 2255 games at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHSN 3,406 Posted September 28, 2023 #325 Share Posted September 28, 2023 This is first time we are leaving the Taekwondo competition at the Asian Games without a single gold medal. and not because our team was bad. mostly because we weren't supposed to. I'm watching Asian Games since 1998 and I know the officiating is always bad in certain sports (probably worst than any other sport competitions) but taekwondo this year was something special. the only good thing is today was the last day and I don't have to torture myself watching Taekwondo anymore. iran2016, Saatvik, Josh and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t know the name since I just getting interested with track cycling. the great Italian sprinters of the Sixties were the absolute masters of that trick, the official record in competition is 1 hour and 3 mins (it happened at the Italian Nationals in 1968), the world record on the track but not in competition, as a standalone attempt, is 2 hours 6 mins 15 secs by a 2nd/3rd tier Italian rider in 1975 (there's a video on Youtube dedicated to that attempt) and since the tv stations started to complain about the waste of time, one day the UCI decided to cut the surplace max time to 15 mins, then 10 and finally they drastically came to the current 30 second-limit, which has made this tactic disappear from the tracks (and therefore the riders do not practice that anymore and just can't do it for such long time, as it gets very painful and puts the legs' muscles at risk when you suddenly start from scratch after a long stand in an uncomfortable position) Griff88 and Saatvik 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
