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...

It’s basically the leftovers from the lightweight four.  Some nations :DEN :IRL make the LW 4 a big focus.

Hasn't been a big focus in Denmark since it was dropped from the Olympics.

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!

    • Oh the 5 minutes debate on penis enlargement live on french public TV  The true spirits of the Olympics.
    • It's funny how for basically every World Cup event we have the TV cameras on the left side of the hills. Yet for every Olympics they always have them on the right side  Definitely need time to adjust. 
    • A bit better second run from Sochowicz, but overally he is second from last now...
    • -  and  -  on the ice right now. Crucial games for 3/4 teams.
    • Congrats man ! First of many of I’m sure 
    • Draw for the 5.000m Men (tomorrow 16:00 local time) is out: https://www.olympics.com/en/milano-cortina-2026/results/ssk/st/m/5000m-------------/fnl-/000100--/race-result   After Lollobrigida’s incredible performance today, it’s honestly getting hard to bet against the Italians on home ice. That said, I still think Ghiotto’s real shot at Gold is the 10km, leaving the 5km wide open for some "untraditional" countries.   It’s truly bizarre to look at a start list and realize that a Czech teenager and a Frenchman are the heavy medal favorites, while the Dutch, who used to own this distance, can barely be called outsiders anymore. If you had told me a few years ago that this would be the state of the 5000m, I wouldn’t have believed it.   My prediction for tomorrow: Sander Eitrem - The heavy favorite after shattering the World Record this season with a historic 5:58.52. Timothy Loubineaud - A massive challenger who briefly held the World Record himself earlier this season with a 6:00.23. Metoděj Jílek - A serious gold medal contender, but I’m worried this is the first time he’ll truly feel the weight of expectations from his home country after his breakout results. Casey Dawson - A podium regular this year who is a strong contender for the top five. Ted-Jan Bloemen - The veteran master of the long distances who always finds an extra gear on the big stage. Davide Ghiotto - Facing massive home-crowd pressure in Milan to keep up with the younger generation. Chris Huizinga - Currently looks like the strongest hope for the Dutch guard. Alexander Farthofer - A rising talent who has successfully pushed his way into the top tier this season.   Riccardo Lorello - Another Italian hope looking to capitalize on the home-ice advantage. Gabriel Groß - A solid mid-pack contender who has delivered reliable results throughout the winter. Fridtjof Petzold - Has shown steady improvement and is now occasionally a fixture in the top half of the field.  Marcel Bosker - Started the season incredibly strong at the Dutch Championships, but hasn't reached that level since. Michele Malfatti - A home favorite who has been hovering just outside the lead group all season.  Bart Swings - His legendary engine remains world-class, but his main focus is on the mass start. Felix Maly - A consistent performer who provides a solid benchmark for the field.  Sigurd Henriksen - Part of the deep Norwegian squad with the potential to surprise if others slip up. Stijn van de Bunt - A massive breakout talent, but the Olympic depth makes moving up a huge challenge.  Shomu Sasaki - A promising young skater gaining valuable experience on the world stage.  Liu Hanbin - Honestly surprised to see him on the start list after that tough injury. It will be a victory just to finish.  Peder Kongshaug - Finished dead last in his only A-group appearance this season and hasn't raced a competitive 5k in months. He's a 1500m specialist who might lack the form for this distance right now.
