I dont disgaree with any of that, but lets agree there is a HUGE benefit from having allready raced on the course literally moments before compared to someone whose just had to watch it, you win the quailication and get penalised for it 

I definitely think there's a benefit to experiencing the conditions, no doubt. But as I've said elsewhere, there's also risk - you could lose in that SF. Whereas Wilson knew she had a medal wrapped up whatever happened, which is not nothing.

 

I also think the wind delays hugely influence things. Also, whilst Wilson was clearly the favourite, she won 8 out of 14 races in the series, so it wasn't like she was unbeatable.

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm as frustrated and disappointed for her as anyone. And I agree that there should be some tweaking done, and I'd have no problem with a more traditional format being used.

I think having so many early round races before going to a knockout format makes the early stages rather boring,

After a shaky start, Hannah Snellgrove has moved into medal contention with two race wins back to back. She sits in 3rd on 25 points.

2 4'th's in the men's as well has him sitting 2nd overall

Rutter finally misses with her 72nd shot. But that's her only miss and she's sitting at the end of day 1 with 74/75.

 

Still lots to go but whatever happens she'll end day 1 in an finals spot.

Rutter sits joint top overnight, with a 2 point cushion still.

 

There's only 7 people total on the 72/75 or better, so if even one of those were to miss one shot tomorrow, even dropping 3 for Rutter would still have her in a shoot off right now.

 

Nothing decided but definitely a good position to be in at this stage.

Just noticed the 'perfect' medal ratio has been restored.

We are having a disappointing lack of 6th places for my OCD brain.

 

We're at 10s all round for the medals obviously. Then 9 4ths, 8 5ths, only 2 6ths, 6 7ths and 6 8ths.

 

61 top eights as it stands.

 

For comparison, our total numbers for top 8s since 96 have been as follows:

 

Atlanta -39

Sydney - 69

Athens - 84

Beijing - 106

London - 132

Rio - 125

Tokyo - 135

Dressage is a sport that not even a British medal can make interesting to me. I'm watching the Chinese table tennis championship instead.

    • Choosing the right Study Abroad Consultant is a critical step for students looking to pursue education overseas. With so many options available, it can be challenging to determine which consultant is best suited for your academic goals. To make the most out of your study abroad journey, it is essential to find a reliable consultant who understands your educational needs and helps you navigate the complexities of applying to international universities. Here are some essential factors to consider when choosing the right Study Abroad Consultant for your academic goals. 1. Evaluate Their Expertise and Experience When selecting a Study Abroad Consultant, it is crucial to assess their experience and expertise in the field. A well-established consultant with years of experience will have in-depth knowledge of the study abroad process, including admission requirements, visa processes, and scholarship opportunities. You should look for consultants who specialize in your preferred countries and courses. This ensures they are up-to-date with the latest changes in university admissions and can provide the best guidance. For example, The Student Helpline, a reputable education consultancy, offers personalized guidance for students seeking education in various countries. Their team of experienced counselors helps students with course selection, university shortlisting, and the entire application process. 2. Check Their Track Record of Success Another important factor to consider is the consultant’s track record. Ask about their success rate with student placements in prestigious universities. Testimonials and reviews from previous clients can give you insight into the consultant's ability to deliver results. A high success rate in placing students in top-tier institutions suggests that the consultant has a good understanding of the admission processes and can guide students effectively. The Student Helpline has built a strong reputation for helping students secure admissions to top universities across the globe. Their comprehensive support has helped many students achieve their academic goals, making them a trusted partner in the study abroad journey. 3. Assess Their Range of Services A comprehensive Study Abroad Consultant should offer a wide range of services that go beyond just university applications. From visa counseling to pre-departure briefings, they should provide support at every stage of the process. Ensure that the consultant you choose offers services that align with your needs. Some consultants may also assist with accommodation arrangements, travel plans, and scholarship applications. The Student Helpline stands out in this regard by offering end-to-end services, including visa support, financial aid guidance, and even post-arrival services. Their holistic approach ensures that students feel supported throughout their entire study abroad experience. 4. Personalized Guidance for Academic Goals Every student has unique academic goals, so it's essential to find a Study Abroad Consultant that offers personalized guidance. A good consultant will take the time to understand your academic background, future aspirations, and career goals before recommending the right course and university for you. They should also be able to suggest alternative options if your initial choices don’t work out. At The Student Helpline, students receive tailored guidance based on their individual preferences and qualifications. The consultancy team takes the time to understand each student’s academic strengths and career objectives before crafting a personalized study plan. 5. Transparency and Ethical Practices Transparency is a critical factor when choosing a Study Abroad Consultant. You should ensure that the consultant is clear about their fees, services, and processes from the start. Some consultants may charge hidden fees or promise unrealistic outcomes to lure students in, so it’s essential to choose a consultant that operates with integrity. Reputed consultants like The Student Helpline follow transparent practices, offering students a clear breakdown of costs and services. Their ethical approach ensures that students receive honest guidance, avoiding false promises and unnecessary expenses. 6. Availability and Communication Effective communication is key when working with a Study Abroad Consultant. Ensure that your consultant is readily available to answer your questions and provide updates throughout the application process. Delayed responses or lack of communication can cause unnecessary stress during an already overwhelming time. The Student Helpline is known for maintaining open channels of communication, offering prompt responses and updates at every step. Their consultants are available to provide students with the clarity they need to make informed decisions about their study abroad plans. Conclusion Choosing the right Study Abroad Consultant is a significant decision that can influence the success of your international education journey. By evaluating their experience, track record, range of services, and ethical practices, you can make an informed choice that aligns with your academic goals. Reputed consultants like The Student Helpline can help you navigate the complex process of studying abroad and ensure that your dreams of an international education become a reality. By choosing wisely, you can maximize your chances of success and embark on a fulfilling academic journey overseas.    
    • To pass that pin, they could have done a hug. I think the whole scene seems made to arrive to the kiss (why is Gil-galad there but is not involved in treating? He should be the one to decide after all), so to cater to the romantic part of the audience (again, soap opera style) and to get negative reactions from who knows that it'd be sacrilege in this world.  As for the orcs, same as everything else - they want to add something revolutionary in that world but then immediately inconsistent. One scene orcs want to be loved, the next one savagely licking blood from knives (copied from LotR of course), then back to wanting love. It's like they didn't read the script they wrote.
    • Which is why I'm not reading the books, ever (because obviously he is never going to finish that). No problem with the shows though.
    • I honestly wonder how that can be done. Generally speaking, rider behaviour is most likely the first thing one would have to look at. So many bad falls due to riders just not paying attention, taking insane and often even unncessary risks or (hello Jay Vine) coming from the world of things like Zwift and therefore not having basic bike control skills.   There's of course also other things, like mass sprints on those super wide and straight roads.
    • They see dying to help Gaza like a honor of warriors they did what  they can  ...Hezbollah are paying their empathy by avoid  civilians ...enormous mistake                 
    • The terrorist Dick schoof is sending weapons to the terrorist Satanyahu    his name is Dick 
    • nothing related to the leader , their goal is to kill people and steal the land 
    • @Sindo Not to be annoying  But a page being full after 3 (!) posts surely isn't by design, but something not going entirely right in the forum software?     It was already honestly too little to have a new page every 10 posts, but every 3 is a bit much  
    • They infiltrate governements and use black magic  money and media to manipulate them , well done Satan 
    • Rumours are saying terrorist leader Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah may have been killed. Wouldn't be surprising, since yesterday's large attacks they have not made a single coherent statement, it's like all leadership is gone.
