2024 Olympics - Day 12 (August 7)


Recommended Posts

This New Balance ad that keeps shows up during the breaks is so annoying :hairpull:

 

(Then again, all of the ad breaks are annoying, especially when they switch to them during the action)

 

Edit: Or not… I can’t believe I didn’t see it before, but Brink is in it :wub:

I was wondering what was happening with our track cycling team. But Mitchell confirmed basically the entire team got sick from the food they were fed

Wait she said that? I heard a stomach virus went through some of the track team.

Good news, both Canadians are in the same repechage heat for the sprint. Bad news, only one can move on. 

Aaaaaand they both lose to the French. 

 

If Canada could stop facing the home team in every single event, that'd be great.

Sprint isn’t judged, it’s by time. No one’s fault but themselves.

Gee, I hope the food wasn't laced with performance enhancing drugs that affected the whole team. Otherwise, they'd have to do an internal investigation that will conclude a mysterious actor dropped the dope in the athlete's food and then cleaned up so good afterwards there is absolutely no evidence of this statistical anomaly, and then WADA will sweep it under the rug after getting an unrelated large sum payment. That'd be awful!

I didn't mean to imply that it was. I just mean home athletes always have an extra motivation, so it'd be nice to not face them in every event.

    • Probably 0% but in 1939 Germans reached the outskirts of Warsaw after only eight days (the border was more to the east than it is now i.e. they had less ground to cover). The ugly truth is NATO would most likely bide their time in response so the entire eastern Poland would be a battle field for a while.
    • What was the Italian conflict? I can't quite remember.
    • And is there any chance that the Polish president would have escape within the first 2-3 days of war? Probably 0%. In 1939, the authorities escaped, but after an attack from 2 sides, the first being the German attack.
    • Hmm, and were they wanted to capture Kyiv in three days? Since middle of 2022, their run has been slow, so I don't think they'll be using any rapid maneuvers on the future. They surprised Ukraine at the very beginning on the war and were close to success. Zelenskyy only needed to flee the country in the first 2 or 3 days of the war. And Russia could have counted on this happening, because Zelenskyy wasn't an experienced politician or soldier and could have do however they wanted. In my opinion, Zelensky's role in Putin's plan ruined everything for them- he, as a populist and inexperienced man, was to escape from Kiev in the first few days of the war. Then Russia would have put in one of its own- Yanukovych? and Europe and the USA would probably have approved that.
    • Fortifications could only work for illegal immigrants but not against drones. We're wasting missiles worth millions of euro to shoot down drones worth 10k. It's anyone's guess how quickly Russians would reach Vistula River if the invasion came from two sides (Kaliningrad & Belarus). It would be days and not weeks...
    • Shocking news 😔 We just saw him competing 2 days ago in Annecy. 
    • Yes, and Ukraine is very important to Putin- far more important than the Baltic states, Georgia or even Poland. Without Ukraine, the restoration of the former USSR will be impossible for Putin. Another thing is that with pro-Russian Ukraine, Poland will have its entire eastern and northern border (Kaliningrad) with unfriendly countries except Lithuania, so it will basically have to militaries the all entire eastern part of Poland and build various fortifications there.
    • After all, it's one thing to dislike someone, even to destroy something (if it remains a rumor, which it usually is), and quite another to steal money... In the Italian national team there was the Wierer vs. Vittozzi conflict, in the polish team in Sochi 2014 there were accusations of various strange things: destroying a skies, rifle, etc., but theft is a serious crime, not just some rumors.
    • Stalin got Karelian Peninsula and Viborg and that was enough. Land invasion from Finland made no sense 60 yrs ago and makes even less sense in 2020s.   Finland isn't that important strategically even when it comes to Baltic Sea. U need to control Danish straits to control the Baltic. Warsaw Pact had an invasion plan of Denmark for this one reason.    Likewise Mediterranean Sea was no priority for Stalin. SU wasn't a naval power back in the day.
