Wow, Coles-Lyster dropped the ball in the omnium. Oh well.

Yeah she says the omnium has basically turned into the best points race riders (the last race of 4)

Yeah, unless you win every other race going into it (like the gold medal winner did here), you can just do well in the points race and finish at or near the top. The riders who finished 1-2-3 in the points race got silver, bronze and fourth despite not doing that great in the other races.

    • No anti Russian and German vibe is really strong, but half of nation could admire German change after 2 world. We respect that they try to be over the past and not letting this happened again.  Anti Ukraine feelings are really strong now, because they have a Bandera as a Hero, and not let for exhumation in Volhynia. This hits for our relations so strong. We are really cool with Belarussian. Really neutral  with Czech and Slovakia. Lithuania too. I think even Polish People are into Baltics country more.
    • To be honest? Polish People nowadays like Lithuania. The main bad feelings are for Ukraine, Russia, Germany. Rest neighbours we are cool. I was in the Lithuania and have nice chats there,  they react nicely when I told them I am Polish. If we speak about Lithuania it was a Little hard moment when Lithuania has a problem with polish language  and schools and treat badly polish minority. If we speak about short Polish-Lithuanian war after I world or our Republic before it is not sth harmful and shameful for both nation. Vilnus was strongely connected with Poland. 
    • Big Air Men Gold-  Ryoma Kimata (176.25) Silver-  Taiga Hasegawa (174.50) Bronze-  Ollie Martin (171.75)   Women Gold-  Kokomo Murase (162.50) Silver-  Reira Iwabuchi (156.00) Bronze-  Mari Fukada (153.25)   Absolute dominance by Japan, claiming 5/6 of the medals    Full Final Results Here
    • Uk/france will send their army to ukraine soon...ww 3 some people prepare themselve to leave europe 
    • got the 2 quotas because a skater can't get more than 16 points in the free skating even if they finish lower than that. With the other one being in the 12th position, Switzerland got exactly 28 points needed to qualify 2 skaters via the World Championships.
    • My theory is that there were not enough ice rinks for all figure skaters and ice hockey players in USSR, so only those who had a bigger chance for medals could properly train. Since there were good pairs and dancers (and ice hockey teams), why bother about women? 
    • Women's Quotas:   3 quotas:   2 quotas:   1 quota:    are able to send another skater to the final qualifier.   One quota from these world championships will be reallocated to the final qualifier because Switzerland wasn't able to fulfill the requirements for two skaters.
    • Rowing quotas W1X:  + as hosts M1X:    W2X: +  as hosts M2X:  + as hosts W4: + as hosts M4: +  as hosts W4X: + as hosts M4X: + as hosts W2-:  + as hosts M2-: + as hosts   
    • well, there is no perfect solution, sometimes nobody can score in a Greco match and someone has to win. they could leave it to the referees to decide who is more "active" but we had this before, that usually means corruption and double standards and lots of protests, another option was having overtime until somebody scores but that could mean endless matches which I still prefer but I understand why UWW doesn't want that.   as I said this is not perfect but at least with this new change nobody will be passive intentionally. in Paris we had some matches where both guys wanted to be passive and that was really ugly.
