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!

    • The squad was reserve, but that's a disgrace. Apart from Favaretto, there's no generational change. Without Volpi and Errigo, we're very weak. After Paris, it was already clear that the USA had clearly overtaken us. Cerioni isn`t the miracle worker he once seemed.
    • Italian women's foil team, with Errigo and Favaretto, lost against Ukraine in quarterfinals 
    • This Finn trains in Norway. It would probably be better to send 2-3 of our juniors to Norway, pay the local federation and let them train there. Maybe something will come of it. We should have given money to the Colturi team and now we would be in a much better situation than we are now. France: 2 win for Clement, 4 place for Amiez. You can see that there is progress and we? 19 Vinatzer? This is a joke. 
    • Croatia, Bulgaria and even the UK have skier in the top 10 today. The UK doesn't even have mountains with snow. Can you fall any lower than we do? If the UK had mountains like ours they would be the best in the world.
    • Nothing will come of this Italian slalom. It's getting worse every year. The Italians' style of riding is simply not suited to the current times. It's too slow. One Lara Colturi will earn more points for this 2nd place than the entire Italian men's and women's slalom team by the end of this year... I would give money to the Colturi team than to the entire squad of these mediocre skier.
    • I take it you haven’t been following along with the Summer Grand Prix? Frantz won bronze in Wisla back in September, not that surprising. 
    • As of today Rodlauer is doing worse job than Colloredo
