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.

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.

    • well, there is no perfect solution, sometimes nobody can score in a Greco match and someone has to win. they could leave it to the referees to decide who is more "active" but we had this before, that usually means corruption and double standards and lots of protests, another option was having overtime until somebody scores but that could mean endless matches which I still prefer but I understand why UWW doesn't want that.   as I said this is not perfect but at least with this new change nobody will be passive intentionally. in Paris we had some matches where both guys wanted to be passive and that was really ugly.

    • yes,very good relations,we consider them our brothers/sisters,Latvia especially,no there's no historical issues,there couldn't really be any anyway ,Latvia and estonia really only appeared on the world maps after the first world war,while we been present since as early as the 1000.
    • Valerie Allman with the world lead now as predicted but really not by much at all-66.72. Hopefully she will be in Ramona .
    • And generally Lithuania has good relations with these other Baltic countries: Latvia and Estonia? Or do you also have some historical issues?
    • hiliarously in modern times it was poland who we had a war with for our capital and yeah i would not call that a ''missunderstanding''  it was THE SOVIETS who gave it back to us[obviously they were in our land afterwards and they were just using us  but still it's what happened] again i have no hatred for poles but some of them,especially their football fans who arrive here are insuffarable,i certainly won't bother talking anyone out of their hatred for them if they have such a thing,that's their right to do so,i don't think it's a big part of the population anyway,we have a significant polish political party so it's hardly a big issue here.
    • Poles usually don`t like Germans and Russians the most for historical reasons. In the case of Lithuania it`s probably the same as with Ukraine, that there are some local misunderstandings. Certainly all these countries: Poland, Baltic countries, Ukraine etc. have a common enemy - imperial Russia and they have to stick together. 
    • i personally do not care but there are obviously historical reasons for that and plenty of poles don't like us either,which i don't know,feels like in our partnership they were the ones who got everything,it was their empire,they had all the power,people here have reasons to be bitter at poles if they want to be,why poles don't like us exactly,not sure.  
    • can't really say on regular immigration,we have plenty of stories of immigrants being very happy here.however in terms of sport migration so that forgneirs could compete  for us in sports like figure skating or Basketball[the latter  especially is seen as horrible to even contemplate but i have to wonder how many more years of the national team winning nothing[another decade ?] will change that ?] there's plenty of nationalism,the mindset is that we would much rather be at the bottom  then win wth a foreigner,especially when it feels like the foregner is just using our country as a  one time spot for the olympics.
