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.

    • Does the CAS have the authority to address from someone who believes the judges made a mistake in a given discipline? Pizzolato's last attempt at Paris 2024, which earned him the bronze medal, was controversial, but what does the CAS have to do with it? Even if the judges made a mistake then, the result won't change and this isn't the only case where someone feels wronged with this in world of sports. Unless, of course, they have some evidence of corruption or something like that
    • If Pizzolato will to return, would it be to the 86 kg category, or the 94 kg category, like Nasar? In 2024, they were both in the 89 kg category, which will no longer be at the Olympics, but in 2021 in Tokyo, Pizzolato won a medal in the 81 kg category.   Of course, it's unclear what's going on with the rape accusations- personally, unfortunately, I don't think he was ever a sweet angel- he was accused of other immoral things also 10 years ago, but gang rape? I find that hard to believe... Besides, Moldova has appealed about his bronze medal from Paris 2024 to the CAS- the verdict was supposed to be in February. Do you know anything about this? Did they have any grounds for this lawsuit at all?
    • Ukraine won 6 gold medals out of 10 in the women's competotion  + 1 silver and 1 bronze. Where do they get these girls from? It's always been a strong country, but they have never dominated like this. I wonder if their training methods would work in another country and if their coaches have any offerts to job from other countries? However, there is a significant decline in women's judo in Ukraine, so maybe they have directed all their resources and money towards wrestling?
    • Sablikova started on the road cycling and just almost qualified for Rio 2016. Maybe Lollobrigida would like to join the Italian track team? She has the good character and 2 medals at the Olympics, one in winter and one in summer, would be a legendary achievement, not only in Italy.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martina_Sáblíková
    • One Wiebes is worth more than the all Italian team with Balsamo/Fidanza, etc., that much clear. Even if the Netherlands loses its dominance in the men's sprint, Wiebes will win 2-3 gold medals in other events. Just relax, man.
    • I'm most worried about our women's team in the pursuit – we have a reserve squad, but not advancing to the top 8 is a shame. We recently competed with out 1 team and had not good in 1 round. It doesn't look good. And the Netherlands are already taking Wiebes to the track team and will soon dominate the Madison/Omnium as well. Balsamo and Paternoster haven't made any progress for years and the our women's team at the Olympics has little chance to win a medal. Italy might even win World Championship/European Championship gold in the years after the Olympics, etc., but when the real fight comes, the UK or the USA will always beat us
    • Track cycling is one of the few sports where there is no host nation quota, so  will need to work hard to achieve our quotas.  It's not our best sport, but was happy to see Top 10 results in the Elimination Race for Grant Koontz and Emma Jimenez Palos (who is just 18!).
    • Yes, I saw the same thing you did @clemsonbeav (on both accounts) but I agree it looks pretty stock.  
    • Also, I just logged back into my account, where it sent me to update my profile, and when I saved that, I got a screen that included a check mark next to 'Registered for the Draw'.  Not sure I totally trust it, but it does at least say so.  (There's nothing specifically referencing Drop 2 or anything...might just be a stock screen.). I'm curious what it would look like if you looked at it @esube.  https://tickets.la28.org/
