Team GB Daily: Day 8


Recommended Posts

Fantastic dominant performance by the 8!

 

I do get the theory of the stroke rate but when they're losing it's hard not to want them to go faster🤣

 

Medal table is 10 10 9, right? Almost perfectly neat. Shows really good strength in depth.

After the first line riders, team dressage comp is looking surprising good for GB with Becky Moody the only rider of the top 3 nations to improve on their qualifying .

 

:GBR Becky Moody 76.489 (+1.551 on qualifying)

:DEN Daniel Bachmann Andersen 75.973 (-0.937 on qualifying)

:GER Frederic Wandres 75.942 (-0.176 on qualifying)

Hockey is sport to watch when the funding comes arround. The cuts could be brutal there.

Loathe as I am to take the bait on more of this obsessive funding nonsense, but the GB Men have got a very winnable QF against India, and still look a very decent shout for a medal. So yeah.

    • Three IOC members are excused for the 144th IOC Session, it was just announced:   Dr Gerardo WERTHEIN  Ms Hong ZHANG  Mr Yasuhiro YAMASHITA
    • aww...  was so close scoring their first historic victory over  
    • Yeah, but that was entirely expected. Nobody thought Fabris was losing it, considering the last lap was his big weapon every single time. Like in the women's 5k Beune generally starts super fast and Conijn often finishes very fast, which in the end means sometimes one is faster, sometimes the other.   Sure gold medals don't exist, by now we should all know that I think   Which is good, because the more sure a gold medal is, the less interesting it is to watch and as sports fans, I assume in the end we mostly watch to see exciting competitions.
    • Nope, "officially" is not the right world. It was a EB proposal, that need to be approve by the IOC Session.   But yeah, boxing will be in LA
    • It feels like events, der boy, events have overtaken the election on stuff like the transgender inclusion and DSD athlete issues. Even Kirsty Coventry is not holding the Bach-Adams line any more, which would have been astonishing eighteen months ago, but seems entirely predictable now - with Athletics, Swimming, Cycling, Rowing etc having now gone in a clear direction, and with the next Summer Games destined for Trumpland, that seems almost certainly not the hill anyone in the IOC will die on. I imagine the reintegration of Russia is likely to be more pressing issue - Trump will want them there, the War, one way or tother looks like it may wind down soon, but its doubtful a trustworthy anti-doping regime will really be in place in time.   The candidate with the most clarity on these issues is pretty obviously Coe. I'm not entirely certain clarity will be a benefit, and we simply don't know how much of Bach's seething hatred of Coe has been channelled into the election backstge -- is Bach now so much yeserdays man that his patrimony no longer tilts the IOC? Or does he retain loyalty through influence, or influence through loyalty?
