@heywooduDo you understand now, why it was a wrong decision? :wall:

I understood before already, although I forgot who 'won' based on the criteria. Because there's a difference between ignoring the criteria and making a wrong decision, or the criteria simply being unfair (both of which suck, but in different ways :d). The latter is something I am very familiar with, unfair criteria in Brazil...

I think "watch the gate" and the "ace, ace, ace" song in volleyball are my two favourite sport presentation parts.

I still remember when we got the 'Watch the gate' thing at our local club where I used to train BMX (for a year or so), that was cool :d 

 

Although I did sort of miss an actual starter saying it.

What do you mean?

All colourful and flashy and 'new', whereas this looks so gray, as if it's somewhere on the outskirts of a medium-sized industrial town where local kids race after school :p

Didn't even try anymore sadly (understandably) :(

Fuck, that was a horrific crash.

Not sure if it was the NOC or the biathlon federation (I assume the latter) that put him in the Livigno training 'world' with a former Italian biathlete as coach, but they can definitely also be blamed:  almost everyone involved in that shitshow got the motivation just sucked out of them by the methods and shitty atmosphere until they either retired or changed country

    • Lots of injuries, including often just pure bad-luck stuff like a fall from a set of stairs, illness, and of course the Sochi tragedy in 2014: one of her biathlon friends, young Julia Pieper, killed herself with a biathlon rifle early during the Olympics (she wasn't on the team, but was a training partner of both Preuss and Dahlmeier). Obviously a hard hit, which led to terrible Olympics for Preuss, with a DNF, awful results in her other individual races and a relay where she was the first runner for Germany, but fell early on, got snow in her rifle and broke a pole and ended up losing almost 3 minutes, which in turn resulted in Germany being off the podium for the first time ever.   After that came all the injuries and illness and everything. So glad to finally see her have her big individual global gold, that is so well deserved.
    • Dave Ryding's Sixth was the best from a  man since 1934!  We actually have two Women's Golds in the 1930s.
    • first win for the Italian men's relay since 2007      very good Home stage for us   if only the organizers didn't set the finals sessions at 2 p.m. (especially on Saturday), there would have been a lot more spectators on the seats
