No, I was honestly trying to be helpful :cool:

I’ve been to quite a few different international events, so that’s why I asked. 
 

I didn’t media accreditation by the way. Unfortunately, the Pan America climbing qualifiers are on the same weekend at a venue only 15 minutes away :facepalm:. I’ll be there amongst the media. It will probably be just me, and a few other niche outlets. 

 

Well just want to represent team usa.   Nothing too crazy

That’s what I wanted to know :d

 

I’d just go with a simple USA shirt, maybe a jersey. If you’ve got a flag lying around, you might want to bring that. You can also generally buy event shirts/team shirts at the event, so that’s an option as well. 
 

If you want to be festive, and not out there, maybe just try to dress completely in red, white, blue...

 

USA Rugby fans are known for being on the rowdy side from what I’ve read (at least relative to other US sports fans), so I’d be prepared for that. 
 

 

Are you going alone, or bringing your family?

I am going alone.  But a buddy might come on day 2.  I do have 2 flags.  One is hanging on the wall.  But the one I can bring is torn a bit that's why I retired it.   Not very respectable to bring.

Yeah, I wouldn’t bring a torn flag no matter what country it is. I’d say just put on some US stuff, and get ready for two awesome days of rugby. I really wish I could be there, so have fun.

@Maxim Fastovsky the US Olympic Trials for Table Tennis are in Santa Monica this year. Unfortunately they’re on the same freaking weekend as the Rugby and Climbing events! What kind of scheduling is this?

That's nothing.. somehow they managed to schedule swimming, gymnastics, and track & field all on the same freaking weekend.

But in the same town/metro area, on the same days, at the same hours?

That no.  Still poor scheduling though.

True. I might have the media shuttles by then though, so not a problem for me :d (or I’ll be a volunteer)

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
