Finally able to start watching today's archery and dear Lord, not even the freedivers were this wet, wow.

That’s a heartbreaking loss 

 

was 11-9 up, had multiple chances for scores when the  was up 12-11 and ended up converting on one of them… but still lost. 
 

Still winless against them in over 24 years 

 

Props to Dionne though, that play where she swiped the disc away from Finney was insane, thought that was a guaranteed goal and the win for the US but she kept them in it for just a little bit longer.

Sorry I meant 12-11, not 14-13.

Oh fuck, yeah I saw that, sorry. I should have worded it differently, I meant in terms of things I actually saw. Obviously nothing is going to go deeper than that..

I admit that I am trying to understand the difference between normal competitions and equipped competitions in powerlifting, but they seem identical to me

Commentator with the “sensational save from Auger-Simmard” when in fact it was indeed Dionne who swiped the disc away and not Auger-Simmard  (I thought so when watching the play, but ended up second guessing after the commentators said that, when will I ever learn…) 

 

And shockingly enough, it’s not the English commentator lady, it’s a guy this time, really kind of him to do that so she’s not the only one on the “Chengdu 2025’s commentating mistakes” compilation  @heywoodu

 

Hard for casuals to follow/understand the game when you’re getting the names wrong
