I am so incredibly angry at the last bit of news out of the Dutch camp...Yuri van Gelder has left the Olympic Village yesterday, drank some alcohol and came back early in the morning. Obviously that's plain stupid, but worse: our NOC has now sent him home. He won't compete in the rings final.

I would like to apologize for the disgusting behavior or the crowd. True fans would never act like that, and I'm really ashamed of such people. Mikulak and Shirai both deserve formal apologies. As a l

I follow this sport quite closely for a number of years. One must only look at the videos from the Romanian nationals and the difference between Iordache and Ponor is clear. Iordache is not steady and

After all those years of missing out on the Olympics because of completely bizarre FIG rules, using recreational drugs (not performance enhancing stuff, but that addicting crap like cocaine) and whatever, he finally managed to go to the Olympics...he qualified for a freaking Olympic final, his lifelong dream! He had it! :facepalm:

 

How on Earth can you be so stupid to throw that away?!

Do you see any chance of possibly Olsen sneaking a bronze?

 

Well, she's in the final, so everything can happen. But Biles, Hong, Paseka, Steingruber and Chusovitina are way too far ahead in difficulty now, in my opinion.

Unbelievable!  That makes Danny Pinheiro-Rodrigues an Olympic finalist now. It looks like France was destined to be part of the Rings final, anyway, after the horrible injury of Ait Said.

To lighten things up: who do you see as main contenders on the high bar? I really enjoyed the routines of Wilson and Leyva (apart from his "fall" of course) today and since they're both in the final, that could promise a fantastic fight..

It was a joke that McKayla Maroney got silver and not gold. Get a grip, dude.

 

Do you have any idea what you're talking about? She could not land her second vault properly. The joke is she was still awarded a silver medal after counting a fall.

I'm not a fan of Wilson's routine. He has a bunch of small technical mistakes that should be more severely deducted. I have to say I'm rooting for Hambuechen because he's fought so hard for an Olympic gold medal... But I still think Zonderland will win again. My personal top 3 would be Hambuechen, Zonderland and Leyva for a medal, but we can't really count on Hambuechen and Leyva hitting their routines... Both are very inconsistent.

No, I clearly have no idea. I'm just a stupid American.

      Biathlon IBU Cup 2024 - 2025

      By heywoodu · Posted

      Aaaand the aforementioned  Gaia Brunello has put down a 36th place in Arber today, 2:35 minutes behind the winner, resulting in 116 IBU points. For World Cup qualification one needs an average of under 150 at the end of a trimester...or one result of under 125 in the current or previous trimester, so if I'm not mistaken, she has immediately qualified for next week's World Cup!   Great start. We are definitely hoping she stays in biathlon only and this start helps

      This is the most incompatible with my sleeping schedule tennis event ever but I will still watch it.  I've seen a few qualifying games but time to step up my tennis watching with the main draw.

      Draws are now out: https://ausopen.com/draws   As usual, some intriguing first round matchups.   ‪Osaka/Garcia and Gauff/Kenin are the main ones that stand out on the women’s side, while for the men it’s Hurkacz/Griekspoor, Dimitrov/Fognini and Monfils/Mpetshi Perricard, but there’s so many quality matchups that it’s tough to only pick a couple. I’m interested to see who Fonseca draws as a Q, that’ll be a matchup players want to avoid.

Since there’s a lot for me to catch up on, I’ll probably do it all over the next couple of days.
