The whole "EDITING" thing is so stupid. The last worlds in athletics and gymnastics were live on olympic channel/nbc sports net (i dont remember which) with the regular nbc announcers. Didn't need editing

 

Yes.. those were live, not taped for primetime.  If they have a chance to edit, they will.  Swimming obviously won't have that since the finals will be live.  Hopefully some of the track & field finals as well, especially the ones in US primetime.  But gymnastics will likely be heavily edited.  NBC will want to present the routines they believe the audience will want to see, not necessarily whoever they happen to be on live.  And if you do want to watch it live, it will be on the app (likely with individual feeds from each apparatus).  May not be the NBC commentators, but tough for them to follow everything at once if they don't have to.

No way, LeBron sat last one out, i'm sure he will come up with an excuse. Curry is injured for the year i think he will rehab and the warriors wont let him go to Tokyo. USA should be just fine as long as most other names will show up like Davis, George, Kawaii, Harden, Kyrie, Westbrook

Low key, we should just send our best high school players to see many countries they could still beat :p

They couldn't even win the world cup with second tier nba players. Maybe WNBA, but Basketball came up a long way and the other countries caught up to us.

I actually think LeBron will play unless the Lakers win the NBA title.

Clippers will win the title, so he will

 

I’ve never been a fan of either team (Go Bucks!), so I’ll just stay clear of this rivalry :cool:

Oh i'm not a Clippers fan, i was always a Lakers fan (before LeBron) however objectively speaking clippers does have a better team, with a prime Kawaii and George, and they beat the lakers twice already.

    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
