Today probably don`t enough excitement with Italy's participation? On paper, Iapichino should have won the medal today, but it is what it is  

We have both the 100m, that’s enough excitement even without the Italians. And cath an eye on Dosso, she have the NR on her’s legs.

I wonder if Palmisano will fight for a medal in the 20km? Gold is obviously out of reach possibility, but unfortunately, the Italian looked pretty bad in the final km yesterday.

How many medals are predicted for us today? 5-6? Will Battocletti and Palmisano can do a silver double?

They have the .1 FS system in Speed Climbing as well.  With that, it's not a random start.  They have the 3-2-1 beeps, so they know exactly when to go...except they have to time their response to some (arbitrary) 0.1 sec *after* the last beep.  Let's set it at the beep.

Yes, so there it is more a matter of timing it than responding. I'm never gonna be in favor of a system where you can legitimatelly start after the beep/gun/whatever, but still get considered a false start

Tokyo 2021 reminds me of it – a great time, even though Covid was still around, but you could already feel it was heading in the right direction. The only thing that made it sad was that empty stadium

Yuka Ando has apparently been doing it for years and found it to be the most effective way for her  

 

Sadly we don't see it as much in the 5k and 10k anymore now, a few years ago they all did that

It's a pity we don't have a second Battocletti here :P
