Summer Youth Olympic Games 2018

This mixed teams format in table tennis is severely flawed. The Japanese team is playing against "Europe 1" team (Serbia and Sweden). The Serbian girl lost the first match, but the Swedish guy had a very convincing win in the second match. Then they are forced to play doubles against a Japanese pair who had the chance to train together for months. Really fair, yeah.

I think the same yesterday when our male dobles fo tennis defeat the mix team of Australia/Bulgaria, how many times our players train together and how many times the mix team do the same?, a very strong advantage for our team.......

I don't know how it has been for you guys, but I'm watching yesterday's athletics now and it's just goddamn impossible to follow it with these combined times/distances...I mean, it would be 'somewhat' ok to follow it if at least they have full live graphics before, during and after every single attempt and heat, but even the graphics are terrible. In half the attempts the 'Total' (if they even show the 'Total', which they mostly don't) only shows the result of stage 1 for example, and not even once have I seen a simply list of current standings being shown after, for example, one attempt.

 

This is a major failure.

A jump being measured by where the hair of the athlete landed :facepalm:

 

I mean, that's right and everything, but it is just impossible to do that all by hand and the naked eye, no way it is accurate enough to give a result with centimeters..

That's nothing compared to discus which barely leaves a mark anyway. And on top of that, the measurers quite often watch it hit the ground while standing 4 or 5 meters away...

    • Handy geography lesson.  
    • We´ll see. anyway, I hope hope so.   It was her first career senior bout, maybe a bit too early, to be thrown in the lion´s den, but if all this will result in a medal in LA 28 I am all in

    • @hckošice, even though Tomankova lost, she had a good fight against Costa, I think soon she and Babulfath will be the stars of -48kg. 
    • Yes.   The event has been cancelled due to the accident.
    • Damn...   That's Clement Noel's Red Bull event of Sunday I think?

    • Yeah, we have such a strong crop of Juniors, that we can’t take them all. They all have exciting trajectories but to predict what Junior swimmers will is always difficult. Better to let them all swim together at Juniors than rocketing them all up to seniors and swimming a prelim and going home.
    • Hanlon is the most unlucky, in my opinion. Aside from relay cover, she's the 50m champ and they made a point of including consideration for those events being in LA for the other discretionary picks. Essentially she has the same case for selection as Max Morgan (albeit without the trajectory right now).   Blocksidge's form was way off this week (compared to her previous bests). Obviously being still young you could put that down to relative inexperience. Still, she has World and European Juniors that she could still be selected for this summer. There's an argument that performing well at those might be as beneficial as going to Singapore.   That said, I'm happy that they did take a bunch of discretionary picks. That's not always been the case.
