Thrown away a medal in the mixed multihull after a lovely DQ on the starting line. Absolutely atrocious regatta for GB.

Considering the funding they get it’s going to be massive disaster. Sure it they going to lose funding.

Super-solid start for KJT - still don't think she's a serious contender for Gold, but 13.40 + 1.92 is very encouraging as far as Silver/Bronze are concerned.

Even a bronze would be fantastic for her and end her carrer on a high (With Pozzi having retired I’m assuming she is as well).

Joe having a very average fence after a strong start unfortunately

I really don’t see any medals in that sport. You need luck in that and Team GB don’t have much of it at the moment.

You may be sure that the angriest, meanest, most humanphobic horses in the whole of France have been specially selected for Team GB.

Choong 13 wins and 20 losses and looked to be carrying an injury, the wheel of shite continues to spin 

To think he said he’s going to take up fencing full time for LA2028 when they change it to an obstacle course instead of riding!

We will finish with more medals ( Including for some games golds) than games widely seen as big success’s. But after setting such high expectations in the last 3 these are going to be seen as the team going backwards.  If they don’t get top 5 then they will be a lot of scrutiny on why they failed to reach one of the targets.

    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW. 
    • Roki Sasaki has been posted for MLB transfer. Dodgers vs everyone else Part 175?
