Team GB Daily: Day 12


Recommended Posts

It's just so fucking sickening at this point with the near misses that it's become hard to celebrate the silvers - how many near misses can one team have at an Olympic games!?

Okay, I never thought I'd say this but some of you are making Orangehair seem reasonable now. It's getting pathetic.

I understand you of course want a forum to be a positive place because nobody wants to sit and read people moaning and whining, and objectively the results overall are good in the grand scheme of things, but if you can't get why people are finding the past week frustrating  then I don't know what to say. I'm not trying to be rude.

Matt just smashed his PB and the European record by 3/10ths of a second. That's a phenomenal run.

 

Like Josh, sometimes it just isn't meant to be.

Exactly. Can’t have any qualms about that as much as it hurts as a near miss. Men’s relay is going to be fierce.

So am I. I'm very much biting my tongue.

Kennedy wins too making it 18 for Aus compared to our 12, however even though this looks insurmountable I still think we can just do it with the following: 

 

KJT Heptathlon

Men's 4x400m relay

Men's 800m 

Women's Kieran

Women's Sprint

Men's Omnium

Men's Madison

Women's Madison

Women's Omnium

Women's Kite

Sinden Taekwondo

Cunningham Taekwondo

Jones Taekwondo

McGowen Taekwondo

Men's Pentathlon

I get where Epic is coming from, he's come through a torrent period in the 80s and 90s where we couldn't even buy a medal let alone the amount we have now, but given our recent success I think it's somewhat understandable for some of us to be annoyed at getting silver instead of gold (even though silver is still an amazing feat) as we're now a top sporting nation and we should really be producing more champions than we have done so far.

I'd be both happy and shocked if the men's madison and women's omnium even get a medal tbh. Who's even competing for us in the Women's Omnium?

    • What are the odds WTA/ITF has Kostyuk vs Potapova AO R1 just to see if the hand shake happens? 
    • Malinin  opted for the 4-Axel in his Short Program, but faltered, landing him in 3rd thus far (and only 0.05 away from 4th!).  Surely he has the tools to rise back up in the Free Program.  (Also, perhaps this will serve to show him that he is in fact beatable.)
    • I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->   
    • Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)  
    • That's what I'd plan as well (except for MelFest), but I also know I am hypocritical enough to still want to watch the show and have a fun evening  
    • Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.  
    • Got our first competition of the season coming up in Solitude, Utah  this weekend.  Live on Discovery Plus etc, plus also YouTube and the Olympic Channel.  If you are new to the sport, the sprint races on Saturday will be the format you'll find easy to understand.     ISMF   ISMF Skimo - YouTube    
    • Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
    • @Josh skimo mixed relay is on Saturday, not Sunday, FYI
    • ... this week, time depending.   Today (Dec 5) 4:00pm: Swimming US Open - Finals 9:00pm: Freestyle Skiing WC Big Air Beijing  9:30pm: Snowboard WC Parallel Giant Slalom Mylin   Dec 6 2:00am: Snowboard WC Big Air Beijing 6:45am: Freestyle Skiing WC Aerials Ruka 4:00pm: Swimming US Open - Finals 9:30pm: Snowboard WC Parallel Giant Slalom Mylin   Dec 7 7:30am: Freestyle Skiing WC Moguls Ruka 9:45am: Ski Mountaineering WC Soltitude Mixed Relay   Dec 8 6:30am: Freestyle Skiing WC Moguls Ruka   Dec 9   Dec 10   Dec 11 4:45am: Ski Cross WC Val Thorens 7:00pm: Snowboard Halfpipe WC Secret Garden   Bills, Warriors, and Canucks (have a headache, can't be bothered to put it in...)   No Elite 16 beach volleyball, weak field and most of the top teams have shut down their seasons already. No Snow League Freeski Finals, Heerenveen Speed Skating WC, Alpine Skiing WC either.
