Federer91 2,140 Posted July 26, 2021 #182 Share Posted July 26, 2021 What a well deserved gold for Russia. One of the strongest competitions in the whole Olympics so far. Some of these russian boys wanted to retire, because of multiple injuries (our commentator info) and the tears are very pure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funding is being cut all across the boards as the "winning at all cost" mentality has become untenable for social injustice reasons. It's all about welfare issues of those second-rate athletes so the best funded and most successful sports will have to take a massive pay cut. Only some - some sports have the ability to get a lot more private funding than others. Also it depends on the grassroots ability of a sport - those with better grassroots and ability to get kids into sport will fare better than those like Rowing where a lot of people don’t take up till late teens.

thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted July 26, 2021 #187 Share Posted July 26, 2021 In my pre-Olympics analysis, I mentioned that I didn't trust the Japanese team at all and, well, I had a strong point in the end. Silver is still better than what I expected for them. Japan has always had the worst and less logical selection system for gymnasts for the team competition, and I hope this silver medal will help them understand that. China with yet another bronze medal will surely be a big disappointment, but at least now this time they have at least three big, clear chances for a gold medal in artistic gymnastics, not to mention in trampoline. Their gymnastics disaster in Rio will not happen again unless the gymnastics god really hate China for some reason. Congratulations to Russia. It's great to see Nagornyy, Belyavskiy, Ablyazin and especially Dalaloyan with a gold medal. All four of them deserved it for a long time and now it finally happened!

Vektor 3,195 Posted July 27, 2021 #189 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I forgot to comment here yesterday that out of all the sports so far, this is the one where the lack of the audience made the biggest impact for me. At least in most sports there's enough atmosphere to sell the big moments. Here there isn't anything supplementing the audience reactions during the routines, the silence is terrible. thiago_simoes and rafalgorka 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vektor 3,195 Posted July 27, 2021 #190 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Here we go, probably the "most important" final for at these Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
