Jeanjean takes over the lead despite having two "difficulties", per graphics. How awfully convenient for the French.

He was really good, actually the medal winners were the best 3 clearly. Maybe a small disadvantage for Rantes to start in Heat 1

How to classify this event is honestly the most confusing thing in terms of my results collection. Is it a multi-sport games or a bunch of individual continental championships?

I had the same question before the start of the day. I just started watching and went with the flow. 

 

Watched all the A Finals of rowing today semis of women's lead and finals of men's boulder will watch the women's lead finals tomorrow quickly. Also watched a couple of TT matches , little track cycling and almost the entire men's triathlon race.

 

All the upcomming livestreams with exact date and time and replays are neatly arranged . I would rate it as the 2nd best Summer Multi Sport Games of the year behind Pacific Mini Games . ( Giving a little edge to NMI considering its limited resources). Both these games find 1 thing in common - Streaming details of the event well in advance which helps you to decide what events you can choose and what you keep for other day .

 

I felt the CWG should have followed the same thing in non commonwealth nations would have been nice to watch some replay with VPN .

 

So @Olympian1010 my suggestion to you is forget whether it's a championship or games just keep watching continuosly if you are free,I bet you will feel like a great games

I was wondering what this was! Looks like the results provider forgot to change the road race map from Tokyo 2020

I wish we would be on that map again, this course seems much more boring/flat.

Yeah. It's certainly a course set for the sprinters!

 gold in Rowing because none of the big rowing nations bothered to show up to that lightweight event.

Why were only two medals awarded? Is it based on time gaps? Seems a bit unfair since only 3 nations showed up.

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)...
