by the way, I have to say that maybe our friend @heywoodu is really right about the rules in the sport climbing's lead...

 

they should really use the time as tie-breaker...

 

you just can't have 4 people tied and determine the 2 going forward to the final based just on the previous round's result...

 

as I wrote earlier, I know why they're doing it, but it's too unfair to the athletes...they must change the rules, especially now that they're an Olympic sport and have more media coverage and average audience than before...

To think Lettner actually was the best of these...

Weren't the Brits kinda terrible in Rowing in Tokyo? It seems they have improved quite a bit in one year. 

Perhaps poor in terms of previous Olympic performance and their own expectations, but at Tokyo Team GB did have six 4th placed boats so they weren't completely out of it.

 

They've certainly improved, but on a European field taking Aus/NZ/USA/China out of consideration the results aren't super surprising. There's also a new coaching team in place which seems to be working well.

no, Tokyo was kind of strange regatta because of the weather conditions and because of some covid troubles (not to mention the awful basin)...

 

in any case, here ROU and GBR are winning a lot of gold medals also because there are no AUS, NZL, USA and CHN, who normally take a lot of medals away from the European sides...

 

moreover, for many teams this championship is just a trial for the upcoming world champs, where a lot of crews could/will be different...

how to ruin a competition...

 

in the men's sport climbing boulder semifinal round they've set a really, really difficult course...too difficult...

 

result, only Adam Ondra topped 2 of the 4 sections and only 8 of the 20 starters could top at least 1 section...:yikes: :facepalm:

 

actually, the 4th section has gone completely blank...not a single climber could hold even a single zone (when there's only 1 climber left in the whole competiton)...:hairpull: :hairpull: :hairpull:

 

I think this is the first time it happens, for sure I've never seen or read anything close to that...

 

what a shame!

    • I am going to use this as evidence for my belief that the only way for baseball to continue growing is to increase the importance of International tournaments.   Because shocassing stars in those environments is how the MLB can grow their viewership abroad.
    • If this were Milan from 20 years ago, it would be a success but currently it`s just a European average team and on top of that it is not in top form. Milan's defense this season resembles Swiss cheese.
    • Bologna is unfortunately is a team for the Conference League, not the Champions League   Juventus are plagued by injuries and are struggling. On top of that they have a terrible schedule in the CL. In their case qualifying for the play-offs would be a success in this season but I'm not sure how many points they will need to do that. Actually they chave 8 points.
    • Four events with medals awarded halfway into the first day, and already six NOCs are on the medal table 
    • First day of sporting action today. There's livestreams available on the official website: https://www.bolivarianos2024.pe/envivo/   PanamSports Channel should be broadcasting events as well.
    • Pretty crazy, just imagine if they won the World Baseball Classic (though personally I equate the two pretty closely).
