Even though our younger women withdrawing from the NAC event helped Channell qualify for these Olympics, she's been competing on the WC stage all season long and actually put together some decent results

Tabitha!

 Flock takes the lead on the line 

[Josh 12,612]

 2-3-4 at the halfway point, unless disaster happens they'll be winning at least a silver and bronze, only Neise can catch Pfeifer at this point.

Flock has to hold off a flock of Germans...

(it is interesting that the judge took part in the event supported by Belarus Laweyers Union - after the rigged elections of 2020).

I wouldnt say that,  tabitha is in 3rd after the first heat

I missed her result. I saw a post on Twitter that suggested all the  women had flopped on Run 1. I was watching on behind (Still am - just seen Bos’s second run).

Now that is a mess. The media are going to well and truly turn on £25 millon pound of funding achieving so little. And the team management deservethe backlash after biffing up the greatest ever games. 
 

 surely favourite for the team event with multiple strong men and women.

"CAS published a press release. It believes that Vladislav violated the Olympic Charter two days before the start of the competition.

 

According to this logic, Vladislav should have been disqualified during training, but he was officially admitted to the competition and disqualified just before the start, without being allowed to enter the track—disqualified not for a violation that had not yet occurred, but for the intention to “break the rules.”

 

Today, during the proceedings, we cited five more examples of athletes from other countries who also honored their deceased relatives and loved ones in various ways, but IOC representatives responded that they were not punished because they did not declare this in advance, but did so after the fact, so there was no point in disqualifying them.

 

Therefore, selective justice in the IOC works against people with Ukrainian citizenship," Heraskevych`s lawyer Pronin said.
