Rumors saying the format will be a 35 km race walk M & W mass start event at the same time, but after the race the times for the 2 best males and 2 best females of each country will be counted.

Most disgusting event in the Olympic history. Two individual events without individual medals, but rather with some fabricated mixed propaganda podium.

The gold China needed as there was also a demonstration team event in taekwondo which they won.  :d

Ah yeah, those took forever on every taekwondo day but thanks to not watching live, I could skip them in a minute :d 

I saw it once - it was odd as the commentators took their break before the final so it was odd to watch. 
 

I wonder if GB will qualify a team in 2024 ( as the commentators said it’s being introduced in Paris) for it - joint second in total medals won in the sport this year means the depth to try and qualify and even challenge for a medal is there,

Have there even been 35km events already? :p 

A lot of countrys (Spain, Portugal, Ukraine...) hosted 35km women national championships these year instead of 50km cause timeline for the Standar for 2022 world championship was already open.

 

Some of the spaniards already have the standar but it's imposible to find a world list and I dont know why.......

    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event 
    • In bed with the flu and few hours of sleep, but at least the insomnia will let me watch the first World Cup stage
