I'm still waiting to be told who is beating GBR in the 4x200....

 

just more and more hurt for GB with these finishes. Freya not quite good enough on the night, and got to feel for Duncan, and even Matt - I thought he had it at the wall.

Matt said in his interview he thought he had it. 
 

The USA maybe the biggest threat to our guys?

biggest threat yes but not sure where they are going to find 2 other strong legs from after Hobson and Foster, and I'm not convinced Foster is dropping another sub 1m 45 clocking

At this rate, we will walk the 4x200m, and I wouldn't rule out a (minor) medal for Richards in the 100 Free. Peaty's Covid test also put his performance last night into perspective - he briefly alluded to a scratchy throat post-race, and I don't think it's a stretch to say he'd have taken Gold by a tenth or two if he'd been at 100%.

 

Gymnastics a bit annoying, but posting a 255.5 with one pretty big mistake on Vault, and only dropping one point from Qualifying with all scores counting (for context, China dropped 4, Japan 1, Italy 1.5, Switzerland 2.2, and Canada 2.4), is still pretty darn good. No shame in losing the Bronze to a USA team that improved its score by *4.6* points.

    • 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?
