Sri Lanka's 200m sprinter with best time in the competition so far but won't win a medal :facepalm:


The top 3 had better times than she had. Nice for her, though.

And another medal for Brazil. 2 medals in 1 hour. I can't complain.

4th place in canoeing. still good but a medal would be much better :d

 

draws are also available in Karate which is our last chance for medal. we have two groups of 4. top 2 advance to the semifinal and there is no bronze medal match. both SF losers will receive bronze.

She was 2nd in the qualifiers and produced fantastic times throughout the whole competition. Hard luck in the semifinals against the quite experienced French girl. Delassus already won some medals at the canoe slalom juniors major championships

Karate not only had the most ridiculous rules for Qualification (at least one continent should be represented per gender, not per weight), they also have a ridiculous rule for allowing two bronze medals. 8 athletes compete, 4 get a medal. This is stupid. This is the sport I mostly dislike at the Olympics, and even in their first-ever appearance they cannot get things right.

Flat water, start from a huge ramp. few... let´s call them "obstacles" and you ride by two in head to head format. Sorry, this is not canoeing slalom :dunno:

I think in Karate (unlike wrestling for example) all qualified athletes are pretty good. there are only 2-3 weak athletes in general. they wanted the best here not all continents represented probably they had their own reason. they have few chances to show Karate to the world and IOC and they didn't want one-sided matches here.

 

I believe they will use the same format in Tokyo but except we will have a bronze medal match there. even though I'm not sure. that's just my guess based on the format they have for the World Games

For 2022 in Dakar, athletes will need to swim to their boats first before starting the course.

    • From a quick look it appears that all the players in the Filipino men's and women's teams are all based in Switzerland and are Swiss-Filipino dual citizens.
    • That is absolutely certain. Any somewhat reasonable politician should be good enough to win against someone like Trump, even with the unfortunate timing (for the Democrats) of having to carry the brunt of the COVID pandemic consequences and so any Republic having a bit of a head start anyway.   But yeah, dreadful performance overall from Harris, who seemed to start quite positively, but then just lowered herself to Trump's level in terms of throwing shit at each other. That was a terribly dumb choice, nobody is going to beat Trump at the insult game, as we have seen.
    • Sorry for missing the draw, I was getting ready for bed when it began and just saw it now     Nice to see it so filled with local sports facts though  
    • It was never a priority to stop the war but to prolong it to offload the old weapons systems and keep Russia occupied in a conflict. But the West's strategy backfired as it pushed Russia to friendship with China. Many don't realize as Russia and China are actually adversaries even when they shared a common ideology during the Soviet era
