Took a lot of time to confirm this, but it seems that Chloe Dygert is OK after surgery.  Must have bad at the time, reading between the lines.

The knee looked incredibly bad, yes. At least pretty soon after the crash we knew she was 'ok' in the sense that she was conscious and talking to medical personell.

 

So yeah, that's Olympic road race gold for Van der Breggen due to Van Vleuten's horror crash and world time trial title due to Dygert's horror crash (or at least in both cases with big help from the crashes, both Van Vleuten and Dygert were of course not entirely certain yet). Makes one wonder....Olympic time trial gold is the only thing missing in Van der Breggen's career now, should Van Vleuten and/or Dygert even start there? Seems rather risky :hairpull:

BBC Comms were saying she had been mostly training indoors, no race experience all year, so perhaps bike-handling skill levels not all there.  Road quality looked good, so possible hardware issue.

Good chance it was a hardware issue indeed, most likely something with the front tyre. One can have amazing or terrible bike-handling skills, when the front tyre goes at that speed going into a curve like that, you're just a passenger on your own bike, sadly :(

Zabelinskaia was found positive to covid19 and - obliviously - yesterday wasn't allowed to start the ITT

Wow. I mean, everyone more or less expected she'd test positive again some day, but that's not at all what I expected a year ago :banana:

    • People keep keep saying that Trump is Hitler reincarnated, but all these Day 1 proposals are sensible & unifying.   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=08IIenrXCRQ     NB video is a parody.  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW.
