Read my last comment, 3 posts up. I discovered there is a more "serious" bump in question which I didn't see so like I said in my previous comment, I can't comment on it. I hope justice is served whatever :)

 

 

No problem.  Obviously I'm biased.  ;)

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

Well yes it's almost impossible to dislike our race walkers unless you are Russian or Alex Schwazer

We have just heard back on the protest... #bronzeBronze.png for @EvanDunfee. We expect a counter protest from the Japanese.

 

It sounds to me like the Aurélie Muller's case (10 km swimming). Athletes might be faulty, but the answer seems so out of reach. You're either cleaned or DSQ with no possible cases for a middle ground. It seems specially unhuman when we are talking about such demanding events.

 

I think there should be a case  for minor sanctions like in road cycling (time penalty, etc.)

Congratulations, Slovakia :SVK with the 50km Race Walk title. I know this one lovely Slovakian user that probably got his mind blown from happiness today :p

 

:hug: Thanks.

 

 

last few words about todays race, now when I calmed down a bit and recovered my mind ...a bit :p

 

ok so the results are official with the bronze for Evan Dunfee. Congrats Canada :yes I have to say thats a surprise for me, thinking that Evan already had a amazing and very hard race last Friday in the 20km, I was sure he ´ll be the most tired one from the athletes in the top of the race, but he showed today  a great effort. respect ! Congrats also to Australia for the silver. Jared is a great walker too and he proved it today once again.

 

Pitty for Chocho :( Ecuador without medals in Rio, I wanted him on the podium with Totha and Heffernan, no medal this time for the Irish but well, 6th place and great effort too was briliant as well. congrats. and what to say about the hero of the day. Diniz :bowdown: what a superhero, instoppable ! I knew that it will be impossible for him to win with the way he started to compete today, it was just a stupid tactic in this conditions, but the way how he didn´t gave up and fought to finish the race is for me one of the highlights of those games. Respect to Yohan too.

 

In total only 48 out of the 80 athletes participating in the race finished it. Just explaining how difficult were the conditions and how extremely demanding was the race today. the last classified Serbian Filipovic ended the race 58 minutes behind Toth !!! very very difficult race. very heavy.

I am very sad for the japanese guy, what a scandal to disqualify him!

Hopefully one of the top 3 will get caught, so that he will get the medal back that was stolen from him today. :fingers:

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

      Biathlon IBU World Cup 2024 - 2025

      It's true, but Colturi still only 1 person and for example in the men's slalom we have tragic results. In giant slalom again we last won many years ago. For example, Switzerland has a complete team, which has not only stars but also wide teams in every discipline + young successors.   Scattolo is an option after 2026. For now, all that remains is to count on Vittozzi's return - apart from her, no one is able to regularly stand on the podium.

      That was the IBU Cup winner spot, guaranteed for the first two weeks (won by Michelon last year). Galmace Paulin will definitely not get a spot in January. If someone has to be demoted, it would be Chauveau, to make room for Botet. Galmace Paulin is like 5th or 6th in the pecking order at the moment.

      Maybe Galmace Paulin can take The Spot of Richard, Michelon or Chauveau later this season. In Hochfilzen France Had 7 Spots, not sure What happened. If The french Team can get Back that Spot, then Galmace Paulin should be The First candidate.   Tannheimer, Michelon, Richard, Kirkeeide and Andersson are all more likely than Not To make The Podium this Season in my opinion. With a bit of luck, half The Top 10 in The Overall Ranking at The end of The Season could be athletes born in 2002 or later.

      Biathlon: I think your Coaches should promote Scattolo.  Alpine skiing: Things Would Look very different if Colturi would Compete for You.

      If my figures are correct, I confirm that this is the international debut in top-level competition for Turkmenistan, Kuwait and Thailand. i believe it is also the debut in a senior competition for Mongolia

      The Youth Olympic Games have used the group format before due to a large number of entries. The 2023 Winter EYOF also used a two group format in the mixed team event.   Still, it's cool to see so many nations registered for the Asian Winter Games.

      Curling will have 14 participating nations, with the men's and mixed doubles events have a group stage (surely a first for an international MSE event? @Olympian1010?)   Mixed doubles   Group A:   I believe this is Turkmenistan's (and possibly Thailand and Kuwait) international curling debut.   Group B:   Women's:   Men's:   Group A:   Group B:
