Is Pakistan not very good in counting or what am I missing?

Quote

A six-nation hockey tournament that was supposed to take place in Lahore has been postponed till December. Pakistan, Oman, Qatar, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Kazakhstan and Afghanistan are expected to take part in the competition.

 

1. Pakistan

2. Oman

3. Qatar

4. Bangladesh

5. Sri Lanka

6. Kazakhstan

7. Afghanistan

 

Right, withdrawals...

 

Quote

The event, originally scheduled to take place in September, was rescheduled by the Asian Hockey Federation (AHF) after Oman, Qatar and Sri Lanka refused to participate due to financial reasons. It will now be played from December 17 to December 31.

 

1. Oman

2. Qatar

3. Sri Lanka

 

That's a list of 7 nations, of which 3 don't participate. Since when did 7 minus 3 become 6?

Ran a 23:00+ today at my cross country meet, what trash time :redcard:. I’m so disappointed, but it does make you think about just how good the Africans are...

After years of failed attempts (because I started too enthousiastic and then got injured within a week or 2-3 and waited a year to try again) I finally managed to run 5km today without starting to walk :cheer: 

 

In all those years that was my first goal, and to do so within 30:00 minutes....finally I ran 5km and I even did so in 27:55 :woohoo:

 

On to 10km! :d

Four weeks later and with three more runs done (6km in 33:22, 5km in 27:11 PB and 6km in 32:42 PB), I just finished another 5km and this time I did it in 25:48 :woohoo:

 

The 25 minute mark is closing in faster than I expected :d 

 

Negative splitted the shit out of this thing :evil:

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
    • Just another reason why it's super dumb that the NOC max in freestyle skiing isn't 40.
    • In rugby there's More Squidge Rugby (the main channel has proper videos).
