it's based on the number of starters...

 

if there are 2 crews, then only the golds medal is awarded...

 

with 3 starters, only gold and silver are awarded...

 

with 4+ starters, the full set of medals is up for grabs...

 

basically, the IF doesn't want the last placed boat to get a medal only because they're participating; if you want a medal, you have to beat at least 1 team...

 

if you read yesterday's posts, we tried to explain what's happening in the rowing world (in a few words, after 2024 the lightweight classes are going to be dismissed -since also the LW doubles will go out of the Olympic program, therefore many Nations have already abandoned the non-Olympic races, focusing on the last Olympic events only)...

Thanks for the reply. Information is hard to get here, as our national TV bought the rights to these games, but doesn't show any sport live, only a few select ones that garner interest. I wouldn't have even known we had a team in this final had I not checked the official site. It's really bad since everything is live on youtube, but we can't watch because out national tv has the rights (bought with tax payer money)...

D'Amato with an injury in the vault final. She might miss the next two finals. 

she still manages to get silver...small consolation (on paper she should have easily won gold), hoping that the injury is not too bad...

 

by the way, she still has the balance beam final left (but she won't start, of course), the uneven bars are contested by her twin sister...

Kind of surprised to see that the Hungarian winner apparently does not speak a word of English in this day and age. :mumble:

maybe it's the new Orban policy...kids have to study Russian instead of English...:facepalm:

 

soon Italy will be the same...:hairpull: :hairpull: :hairpull:

Still very few Hungarians speak English, we probably have the lowest percentage of English speakers in the entire EU. Shit educational system and many rather learn German as their second language because Austria is the way out for anyone who doesn't want to live here.

    • WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.
    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
