Why did the French skater get silver and the Italian bronze? They both finished on 36 points and both of them had one second, one third and one fourth place so that's tied as well. Often the last event counts in these kind of things, but in that one Valanzano finished better, yet she still got the bronze.

Best placement in the 5000m elimination http://www.worldskate.org/news/42-discipline/speed/2968-bayog2018-ladies-and-gentlemen,-please-stand-up-for-the-olympic-champions.html

Thanks commentator. 

Did they mention that both gold medals were already decided before the final?

Thanks and no, they did not mention that :d 

 

Now that you mention the 5000m rule I understand it as well, up till now I thought the Angulo saved his gold by outsprinting Scheperkamp for 3rd place and so ending up one place in front of Maiorca.

I think it's a punishment for Italy going beyond the 2.4 deficit/GIP ratio...the entire EU asked for that...:yikes::rofl::facepalm:

 

no, trying to be serious once every while...it was because the final placing in the 5000m elimination race, which was to be considered "the final" of the combined event, despite being held earlier than the 500m sprint race...

 

from the Worldskate website: "Barrault and Valanzano tied in the final ranking and, following the rules, the Silver medal went to France thanks to a better placement in the 5.000mt Elimination"...

 

unfair, but this is how they managed the situation...:facepalm:

 

ops...it was already posted...I'm still sleeping this morning...:rofl::facepalm:

thanks to @Dunadan :yes

Not really unfair if it was known beforehand, which I guess it was. Should have finished higher there then :p

no, it wasn't...Maiorca won the 5000m race, so if the Colombian ended up in 4th place in the 500m sprint race, Maiorca would have eventually won the gold medal...:evil:

Any specific reason why there are/were only 11 spots for fencers in Women's Sabre and especially Men's Épée?

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
    • Just another reason why it's super dumb that the NOC max in freestyle skiing isn't 40.
    • In rugby there's More Squidge Rugby (the main channel has proper videos).
