Not a good week for the Land of Cows.

 

Alex Wilson also gets a ban, despite a masterful deployment of the Contaminated Beef manouevre.

I wonder what the British press says after December 2022 when :RUS officially returns to competition?

 

The eternal ban on Russia in sports will never happen no matter what Daily Mail or Greenbank think about it :dunno:

And it’s only because the IOC is corrupt - Russia have been found guilty of state sponsored doping and they haven’t missed a single games run by the IOC despite WADA and most athletes from outside of Russia being in favour of it.

It's too late to cry over spilled milk now. IOC made their decision and Daily Mail won't change it. WA is run by a :GBR chief no less and even Coe didn't have Russia thrown out of the athletics part either which is kinda hilarious given how British press wants them out. Dare I say Coe is more powerful than UK media too? :p

There are only 10 Russian Athletes. He hasn’t let in the relay teams and everyone else. And he clearly does hate Russia rather than many sports governing bodies who still love them.

A good defence of Murphy and his actions.

When Americans don't win gold medals they always have to blame outside influence, not themselves.

 

Sun Yang isn't here yet they don't blame Dean & Scott for taking away their medals at this distance?

 

Efimova isn't taking away medals so now it's Rylov who has to be on doping, right? How convenient :rolleyes:

 

Or maybe they should blame Hafnaoui who also had the nerve to take away one of the US gold medals in 400 free. He must be on doping, right?

 

America only loses when someone else is cheating. Ho-hum! Someone needs to tell Ryan Murphy he's not Ryan Lochte :p

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
