Why do multi-sport events always have these useless golf scoring formats?  

 

Spoiler

 

Just showing 'Par total' and 'Total' is useless. When a round is finished it's ok, but when it's live it is utterly useless if you don't know at which hole a certain player is.

Lettner is a champion! 

Ties are broken by: 1. In case of ties after the Final, ties are broken by the ranking in each discipline (e.g. if athlete A has beaten athlete B in two of the three disciplines, athlete A will be ranked first) 2. If any athletes remain tied, ties are broken by the combined ranking after Qualification 3. If they remain tied, the athlete with the lower bib number will be ranked first.

no, wait...

 

what????

 

they said Lettner won Gold ahead of  Lukan and Lammer won Bronze ahead of Meul...

The 'participating is more important than winning' award of the day goes to Jordan Thompson of Nigeria.

Thank you. That explains everything.

OK, thanks...I just forgot that they started to use this special fuc*in' tie-breaker for the combined event...

that makes sense for ranking purposes...still, it's a sh*t of a tie-breaker...

by the way, medal for Italy in taekwondo...Gabriele Caulo won his quarterfinal match against a Saudi opponent in the men's -63kg class and he's assured himself a place in the semifinals and therefore at least the bronze medal...

I don't like numbers 2 and 3. I would just give a medal to both athletes

I don't know about that. Combined events are about universality, not about win one part and be last at the second one. So I think comparison of ranking in each discipline should be more important than numbers of wins. But it's my opinion.

I agree...

 

p.s. actually, I would get rid of this combined event that doesn't have anything to do with the Sport Climbing (it's just a new format invented to get into the Olympic program, but no athlete likes it and thinks it's a good format)...

Sport Climbing has always been, is and probably always will be only about the 3 single disciplines (Lead, Boulder and Speed...in order of importance and prestige)...
