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

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 ). 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  

 

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

Is Smulders not going to advance here? Such a shame, has to be so shaken up from that crash

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
