Katkavets advanced to the final with the last throw of qualifying and now he relegates Vetter down to 9th with the last throw in Round 3! Vetter OUT!

And it's not like it's complicated. It'd be enough to literally have 4-5 volunteers walking around giving bottles and towels.

not easy to do it in the 2 meter social distancing

How many of you have Johannes Vetter in your "Absolutely certain no way can he lose Gold" list?

And about this, on a Dutch forum we've been having a fun game which might be fun here next time as well (I really didn't have time to introduce it here anymore, sadly): pick 32 individual athletes who you give 32 points down to 1 point. If the athlete wins, you get that number of points (i.e. put your most certain winners highest). Same for team events (everything with more than 1 athlete), with 30-27-24 etc points.

If they can put half the 50k field in a wheelchair, they could do this

Sadly, a big hole in the medals table in between Lithuania & Malaysia.
