"I would keep my eyes on Bjoerntegaard in number 25"

 

Bjoerntegaard: DNS

At this point, why do we even bother starting in pursuits :lol: We'd find ourselves outside top 40 even if they let us start together with Dale.

Or just learn shooting. :p

If it's a head to head race, we become absolute animals and can't hit for days.

 

All and every best performance is either a sprint or an individual race, despite the Tomas Kaukėnas Olympic miracle from 17 to 13, I'm not certain if we ever gained places in a pursuit race.

 

Yeah, we have gained places from like 56th position to 49, but nobody outside points has ever gotten into a top 40 and no one inside top 30 has probably stayed inside top 40.

 

It also explains why Lithuania can have a 85-90% hitrate the first week in Kontiolahti, but then a relay happens and low and behold, penalty loops and all that good shit.

Here is the full line up https://ibu.blob.core.windows.net/docs/2021/BT/SWRL/CP03/SMRL/C51B2_v1.pdf

No Peiffer in the German relay, in German TV they said it is possible that he will be there for the relay.

I understood the US Relay move.  Dunklee and Egan in 2nd and 4th provide stronger later in the race.  Irwin had done well, but two penalties put the team in a hole they could not recover from.  No more penalties and Egan went clear, while Dunklee used 3 spares and Reid 2.  Not a bad day honestly.  I think that this is a good idea moving forward, if Irwin can get used to shooting with lots of other people around.  She gets another chance tomorrow as all 4 US women will be in the Pursuit.

 

The men, Paul Schommer did well, Dougherty, not so much. 

 

I know I am not incharge, but I would have rested both Boe Brothers for the relay tomorrow.  Switzerland keeps the same order that they used last week.  For the US, Schommer replaced Max Durtschi.

    • A question about relay  qualification to LA 2028:    either you are among top 12 at the WCH, then you get 2 additional spots, or you have 4 swimmers there anyway and they can compete as relay, is that right?    now following scenario:  lets say an NOĆ has only one swimmer with A standard , let’s say 100m freestyle, and no other  swimmer qualified in any other discipline, but they are 12th in 4x100 freestyle at the WCH.  they would get two additional quota, but would have to decline them as they can’t compose a relay with 3 swimmers? Is this correct?

    • If anyone is interested, here is a link to a GeoGuessr Challenge.   It's in single player. There are 5 rounds total, and you have to pinpoint on a map as close as you can to the actual location that you spawned at. For this particular challenge, you have a time limit of 10 minutes per round and you can move as much as you want.   Since this is Totallympics, thought this particular map would be an appropriate theme. There is a flag at the start of each location that's supposed to help you identify where you are.   You can do this challenge at any time (no need to coordinate times with other users) and you only need a regular account, not a premium account.

    • March 9th Results - Asia   Pool C:    South Korea 7-2  Australia   Highlights:     Pool C Standings:     Team W L PCT Japan* 3 0 1.000 South Korea* 2 2 .500 Australia 2 2 .500 Taiwan 2 2 .500 Czech Republic 0 3 .000 *Japan and South Korea advance to the quarterfinals
    • Puerto Rico beats  Cuba 4-1 and advances to the quarterfinals.   The Canada vs. Cuba matchup on Wednesday will decide who will be the 2nd team to advance from Pool A.
    • I mean you don't need 2 weeks for a 12 team tournament. The 20-team WBC is already 13 days and they are stretching the final stages. You can probably get away doing it in 9-10 days, including rain contingency.
    • The 6 teams is very disappointing, but I think there would be no chance the MLB would allow players is the competition took the entire length of the Olympics. Giving players one week off is manageable, two weeks is near impossible from the MLB perspective.   IOC probably had to decide between having 8-12 teams w/o MLB players or 6 teams with possibly having MLB players.
    • Home Runs by Judge & Anthony!!  with an impressive 5-0 lead early in the game!
    • Puerto Rico jumps out to an early 3-0 lead against Cuba   Venezuela up 4-0 against Nicaragua. Looking good for their 3rd win.
