Sha' Carrie will appear on NBC later today. We'll see what she has to say. But, considering how much money NBC have invested in the olympics and how important Sha' Carrie is for their marketing campaign, it's rather obvious what to expect.

Why have DSD athletes only become notable in the last ten years. You would think it would been an issue since forever as it’s a natural condition.

Is Tokyo also going to adapt the Final 3 system?

 

Since it wasn't the case in the 2019 world championships, I'm just going to assume it won't be the case in the Olympics neither. As a fan of athletics, let's hope they'll stay far away from that monstrosity so that the actual best performing athletes can win.

Wow. If true this would be  as unprofessional as the alleged behaviour of some France team members who reportedly watched Netflix and NBA playoffs late into the night during the Euro.

Yesterday, when Ståhl and Čeh were both marked the same measure in final round, even Čeh said, this rule is pure nonsense, he told someone could throw WR in first rounds and then still lose.

Yeah, it is purely to create a few minutes of undivided attention for field events in the standard DL 2 hour broadcast. Doesn’t really work, as we can see.

It's been an issue for decades - all the way back to Stella Walsh.

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
