the faster one should be the last one

There are several things to consider when deciding the order of runners. Being good in the curves is important to consider as well. You're making it simpler than it is!

But we're 7 times better than you when it comes to medals per capita. It really isn't that hard to win loads of medals when you're the 3rd largest country (in population) and have the money you h

Such bs. She threw the baton which means an auto DQ.

Honestly, I have never wondered about that for a second really :p 

 

As in, I have never even thought about it, just like I don't think about why there are no Kyrgyz or Vanuatu or South African members or something. 

 

Demonym for Vanuatu is Ni-Vanuatu :teacher:

Just watched the replay. How could you even say she wasn't impeded? If it was another country besides America you wouldn't have a problem with it.

It should have been either a DQ or a re-run which, if their time was fast enough, would put them in the final but not take anyone out (though I don't know if there are 9 lanes here as often there are). 

 

If they make it, China is royally screwed over.

It's really stupid because there is a 9th lane... but it doesn't extend into the bend :facepalm:

      Do or die for the US women.  Japan has nothing to play for, but I'm sure they would love to beat Norway if they have to face them again.  Let's go Tabitha!

      Yeah. It was pretty bad that they cancel the contract with the original creative director after 7 months of work. I feel like politics, in this particular context of the changing of prime minister and the cabinet, may had caused changes in organizational decisions regarding the Sea Games including the direction of the opening ceremony.

      That's what I figured.  Wouldn't be a proper lead up to an Olympics without some media-fueled fearmongering.

      option no.2 for sure, as it's been all this shitstorm organized by the nhl owners through their embedded reporters   ps not that the north american audience looks really aware of the hockey rules and habits outside the nhl (and around their game, too, since they look not to know that just a couple of weeks ago they played 2 nhl matches on an ice sheet of the exact same size of Milan's olympic arena)
