Team GB Daily: Day 8

Recommended Posts

I don't think that it would make a blind bit of difference to the results, but you have to laugh at the never changing absurdity of Olympic judging.

 

The Danish judge gave the last Danish rider a score that was 2.5% higher than the score from the next highest judge. :p

Beckett into 2nd but lot of distance to the Aussie.

Hannah moving up to 3rd in the women's dinghy but Dutch lead is imposing so far.

the mixed boat starts with an 8th.

 

medal chances.

 

agree that the format for windsurfing is insanity. Emma dominated the field and whatever medal race you run her lead should have been unassailable

Interesting judging in the floor final, Filipinos gymnast definitely overmarked but still a bronze. Wighthouse harshly undermarked 

And it’s hard to say why. If they wanted to rig it they could have given him 14.8 which wouldn’t have seen as harsh.

Why I can't stand these subjective score based sports

The 0.2 difficulty deduction was on the 2nd tumble for finishing less than 90 degs to the floor which Luke acknowledged.

 

The Exec score seemed very punitive though compared to what I saw from the other gymnasts.

    • Amazing Test match between India and Australia, perhaps the best match of the format I have ever seen. Just wow. If I had to bet anything, right now I would bet Australia but it's totally open

    • Because of the low number of votes some categories may be cancelled (under the rule that at least two people should vote for a nominee). I may give a few more days for voting but I guess there's just no interest this year 
    • In Italy in recent years there is simply been a problem with training new talents and looking at Colturi, the problem probably isn`t a lack of talented youngsters but poor training. Colturi and Collomb were at similar level a few years ago but where are they now? And this is the same year of born - 2006. Since Goggia and Brignone young time we haven`t trained a single champion. It`s the same with men. Vinatzer is wasting away and regressing in development, the same with della Vite in the giant slalom. The problem is it the outdated system which proved effective at the beginning of the 21st century but not now This also applies to other winter disciplines with a few exceptions.
    • Peterman/Gallant will be Canada’s Olympic representatives after defeating Homan/Bottcher 10-5 in the Mixed Doubles Olympic Trials Final.   Undefeated all week long, just incredible 
    • Homan with a shot for 4 to make things interesting, but the red stone jams on the yellow stone in the back 8 and they only score the 2.   8-5 Peterman/Gallant with hammer coming home. Almost seems inevitable at this point.
