I'm getting mad! I thought than here in Italy we had a chance to follow all the events properly, but that's not the case Italian specialized websites only publish the results of the events where we get at least a medal, WS is late by days in their result section, all the disciplines have some kind of coverage, but some of them are basically amateur pictures, taking with a cell phone (inline slalom, for instance) I'm very disappointed by the organization and also by the lack of interest in the Italian media...I mean, this is a global event, 15-day long and with many different disciplines....not only, it's one of our best chances to shine in the world of sport (we're basically guaranteed to dominate the medal table, grabbing medals left and right) but world skate looks to be only interested in the Olympic skateboarding events, which also have a lot of coverage on the Olympic Channel website personally, instead, i'm only interested in Inline Speedskating and men's Rink Hockey -
naaa...that's not sailing, you just can't do it when the waves are high... however, the weather prediction isn't that good for the next weekend, so you might get even more than what you're asking for

Not team ski cross And that's coming from someone who absolutely loves watching the ski cross. Team ski cross just adds nothing at all. Whereas athletics relays make for an entirely different dynamic (a 4x100 is a very much different event than the 100m and results are entirely different than if you'd just add up everyone's 100m times), the team ski/snowboard cross is literally just two team members doing their runs back-to-back with no direct exchange or anything. Just like the luge team event adds nothing at all -
Never saw this until now, but yeah… no thanks (and this is coming from a massive volleyball fan, even para so) I wouldn’t mind ice climbing, but there’s a couple sports and events (like FreeRide, telemark skiing, and team ski cross) that I’d probably add before. -
Oh absolutely, just trying to think of any somewhat valid reason not to score a run. My preference for sure would be to simply score all runs.
-
I would rather all runs be scored, honestly, regardless of the second point.

It's been confirmed that Slovenia will send only their u19/23 cyclists. So no world tour cyclists at these Euros for us. As for women only Bujak will compete in the pro division. -
If run one has a fall on the third hit and run two on the fourth hit, it's very much still in need of scoring both runs to see which one scores best. In terms of the overall, finishing 7th or 8th definitely makes a difference. The only time a second run might not be scored is if run one was entirely clean (or at least didn't have a fall) and run two did have a fall.
-
Nobody really says that though, and definitely nobody wants that Fact is, however, that more and more 'traditional' venues will leave the calendar because we as humanity as fucking up the climate.

I actually think the WDSF did a reasonably good job running the Olympic event (like whatever people think of breaking, the actual breaking competition was well run). But there is definitively a lot of incompetence when it comes to how that federation runs breaking in general. Which is why I think you see most athletes not engage with WDSF events outside of when they had to qualify for the Olympics.
