ISA and IOC chose Teahupoo to host Surfing, because the great waves.

 

Then, they decided to call the conpetition on, in these conditions. Simply pathetic.

Yeah, the sea is completly flat, horrible to watch.

If you’re finding it boring, then don’t watch it? 

this is the end of the day and there is nothing else to watch (except football which I'm watching on the other screen)

 

I watch every singly Olympic final (as much as I can of course) but it doesn't mean I enjoy watching all of them. and Surfing is definitely in the very bottom of my list. 

 

I seriously try to enjoy every single Olympic sport but some of them are simply impossible to watch.

This is the last day of the waiting period so… not much of a choice.

I know it. But that is the problem, they had many other options. They could have ended it two days ago, when the waves were massive.

 

They could have delayed it a little bit, because looks the waves will improve later, or maybe just fucked up with this window, and just selected a better day for competitions.

 

It should be a great show of surfing, because it usually is in Teahupoo, but they are simply wasting another opportunity to show Surfing, in the Olympics, with these pathetic men's semifinals.

wow Medina lost?. Guess Peru will bite the dust yet again now.

 

 

Brazil having a lot of trouble to get golds. Weston will have to neutralize this deficit. Only the volleyball women (x2) and Queiroz left as realistic chances I think.

And Ana Marcela in the open water. Anyway, who knows? Our two gold medals so far were not expected by anyone, maybe more will come along like these.

    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event 
    • In bed with the flu and few hours of sleep, but at least the insomnia will let me watch the first World Cup stage
