Yeah, at that moment it was "Ouch, a fall, gold gone", but now it's quite clear that it's more serious than that.. 

 

Abbott has always been good btw, no surprise. 

 

Abbott is known as the best female climber moreover.

 

Sad that not medal for her. :cry:

No, Abbott wasnt one of the favorites. Its funny that you now want to teach me about womens cycling, although you just said a couple of day ago that you dont follow womens cycling and dont know who the favorites are ... :lol:

I have read enough previews from people who watch literally every race and heard actual female cyclists analyse the race, and all of them said Abbott is one of the best, if not THE best, female climbers ;)

On a course like this, that makes you one of the favourites ;)

So ...

1) Why did you say that you have no clue who the favorites will be when i asked you a couple of days ago?

2) Abbott didnt win a medal, so obviously she wasnt so strong after all ... :p

3) I think it was you who said that Ferrand-Prevot could win a medal in road cycling and mountainbike at the olympics (correct me if i wrong), although everyone (including me) said that it wont happen, what does that tell about your expertise? :mumble:

Because I had no reason to do my preparation yet and only after that started reading up on the views and expectations of actual experts ;)

    • I used public transit the entire time I was in Milan.   My first day was a doozy, because I had to two flights to reach Malpensa, and then the train into town was delayed, and then I got confused a station and boarded a tram instead of the metro, proceeded to travel in the wrong direction, got off, walked back to the station, found the metro, got off a station early, walked around a kilometer to my hotel, and checked in.   My colleagues mostly took cabs upon arrival, but I deduced to take the frugal approach. That said, I was a true public transit professional by the time I left Milan.   I actually enjoyed my rides to and from venues, because I'd just chat up fans and volunteers from different countries. It helped me learn more about the city too.   
    • It's the olympics, sleep is for the weak!    The first day i got there i was on a 12 hour flight from l.a to rome (flight that left mid day), lay over, another flight to milan, uber to hotel, then right away to speed skating (1500m men), then after uber to hockey venue for women's gold final, then after the celebrations uber to the hotel, i ended up being awake about 36 hours that day, the next morning i thought to go sightseeing in the center of milan, but ended up sleeping until like 2pm..... and had speed skating/short track that night 
    • I tried to get onto the metro multiple times and gave up    I had just arrived the day of from Bangkok (12 hr flight) and was just exhausted and wanted to sleep 
    • Plus, you missed out on a potential metro ride with me, which is quite priceless in my opinion 
    • My hotel was very close to Rho so was easy to get there, but it was so far from the hockey venue that after the women's gold medal match it was so expensive to get back, and also the next day after the usa slovakia semis it took forever, the asshole driver took the city and not the freeway  
    • Uber cost me $224 CAD to get back to the hotel from the OC. It basically prevented me from buying tickets to a speed skating session 
    • Romania's national team coach, Mircea Lucescu, has died half an hour ago He was in hospital since March 30th, just before the friendly match against Slovakia. Unbelievable how the life can have such turns...in March 26th he was in Istanbul playing the WC qualifying play-off vs Turkiye and now he died.    Thank you very much for every moments you bring us in your huge career (he's on 3rd place in a most trophies won in career, after Ferguson and Guardiola) and may your soul rest in peace, Mr. Lucescu. 
    • Satanyahu bombarded this synagogue in Tehran ...he is antisemitic
