Went exactly as I feared in the end, and in hindsight probably the only winner there was ever going to be, but another medal!

I think the battle between France and us on the medal table will go to the France but every medal counts in getting to that 50 target. 
 

Bronze. Bronze. Bronze.

Yep - in the end far too strong and what a performance by the Swiss athlete!

good news for our team relay that GTB will be competitive, especially over the relay distance. Not sure how we beat the French though who will have Beaugrand on the last leg

I hadn't even considered that we'd even be in a battle with France on the table anyway. Hosts should always comfortably be in that 3rd spot (assuming its not a major nation like Brazil)

Without trying to be too pessimistic it could be impossible, even considering the sprint distance. The presence of Lombardi as a second French athlete right up there is a killer. It's a shame given how strong we are, but huge medal favourites still of course.

I think you have to hope Yee gets a gap on leg 3 and Beth can maintain that through the swim and maybe enhance it on the bike. Got To put cass under pressure on the bike

Charlotte Fry gets 78.913 in the dressage. Highest score so far, but German riders still to come.

Do these scores count as part of the on going individual comp all the way through like in eventing, or do they get wiped etc and this is just a qualification round for the individual?

Neither did I but I’ve seem various predictions say it was possible but I am very skeptical.

I think all scores get wiped. This is for qualification only.

    • 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?
