Oh, wait... Hosszú is OUT in 400 IM. :yikes: Welp, that's that, hopefully Mihályvári or Jakabos can win 400 IM now that they eliminated Hosszú. 

don't worry, it's an easy 1-2 for HUN in the women's 400m IM...

 

for what concerns Milak, it's not a problem, as the 100m fly semi is after the 100m free final...and Milak would qualify for the final even with just 1 arm...I mean, with a 51.5 the top 8 is more than safe...

I am amazed at how much the Hungarian broadcast is like during the Summer Games. I mean, they are completely all-in on this event, to the point where they randomly start airing live a table tennis women's doubles match in the Round of 64, after which they showed para rowing. These are matches/events you would NEVER ever see live on Hungarian TV if they wouldn't have combined the European Championships into this multi-sport thing.

same here...you never see sport climbing or triathlon on our tv...but this time they get a lot of TV time...

 

still, I'd like to have a better organization (and most times better broadcasters) by our tv, they always make a mess in their coverage...

I rarely watch rowing so it kinda shocked me that there were only TWO boats in the non-Olympic lightweight event. We could have entered a Hungarian boat with 4 random lightweight guys and we would have the bronze. :d Wtf is the point of this event if almost no one wants to participate?

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...

well, a few years ago it wasn't like that...all the lightweights categories used to have a decent number of participants (and there was a full 6 boat program, Eights included)...

 

right now, instead, 99% of teams only focus on the olympic classes...and if they really screw the LW doubles from the olympic games, the whole LW category is going to die (except for singles and double sculls, only ITA and GER still have some depth in the LW category)...

 

I think in the next few years they're just going to cancel these events, as they did with others, which aren't in the program anymore...

It’s all about funding. The national federations have to focus everything on the Olympics to justify the grants they receive 

 

The singles is used as a rep for the third choice double sculler but the pairs and fours that used to have quite a few entries are now effectively done

I guess my "plan" wasn't as smart as I thought. Only the Italians are getting medals for this event, so we couldn't have entered some randos to win the bronze.

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

    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW. 
    • Roki Sasaki has been posted for MLB transfer. Dodgers vs everyone else Part 175?
