Again, I'm not disputing that Lieke was poor by her standards. But I just don't get why you are seemingly cutting him more slack than you are her!

 

Simply because, in my opinion (and based on recent results), she was further from what can realistically be expected from her than Bonevacia was from what can realistically be expected from him.

 

But I feel this is never going to end, because we won't agree anyway, so it'll be a matter of agreeing to disagree :p

Be nicer to Lieke! :p :d

Ugh, Grøvdal so much deserved that win :(

 

Battocletti just glued to her wheel for 4900 meters, to use cycling terms.

It’s karma. Petter Northug anyone? ;)

Amazing Italian relay :hyper:

Silver medal plus olympic pass almost secured.

Congrats to the amazing run 👏 👏 👏 .... Now I am hoping :CZE will stay on the qualifying position with 3:11,98 😬😬

Well, first day - amazing results by :CZE 18 y.o. juniors Jakub Dudycha and Petr Meindlschmid. At least Stánek made it to the final of shot put. Rest Czechs kinda behind expectations and there will still be a lot to do in order to keep the qualifying spot to Paris or even move up to one. Such as discuss thrower Marek Bárta who I believe would still need to take part in 2 competitions and make a great results in order to move up. 

 

Pity for race walker Martínková who was fighting for a medal and Olympic limit all the time until she got the 2min penalty. Let's hope other days will bring better results for our team 😀

can she make the Olympic minimas?

I decided to do a deeper dive on this. 
 

Currently, she has 3915 points. 
 

If she does an = PB in the remainder of her three events, she’ll record a mark of 6551 points, well above the Olympic standard. If she does an =SB in the remainder of her three events, she’ll record a mark of 6443 points, or 37 below the Olympic standard. 
 

But with how well she’s been doing so far she should have no problem achieving it, as long as she doesn’t no mark or anything like that.

Even if she doesn't get a Q, she's probably looking at 6300 as a bare minimum, even if she has relatively poor performances on day 2.

 

That would put her much higher up the list in the rankings, meaning that she's almost certain to get a place in Paris that way. I reckon as long as she gets to the end of the hept with disaster (injury, no mark in LJ etc) she's probably booked her ticket one way or another.

    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW. 
    • Roki Sasaki has been posted for MLB transfer. Dodgers vs everyone else Part 175?
