That's so strange. Imagine if any of the other team sports would have a smaller field for women.

I always watch the NCAA where they usually have separate stadiums for softball, so it doesn’t look so weird.

No, but is certainly fitting for a typical Totallympics bashing masked under a pretense of "discussion".   Baseball/softball is like the only non-European-centric team sport at the Olympics.

Well I really hope this isn't the last time we see softball in the Olympics, because IMO this tournament was a ton of fun.

TV graphics seem alright for these Olympics. It's nothing amazing, but at least it's clean, no weird stuff. 

 

The one issue I have with the broadcast is that for softball the square where the pitcher has to throw the ball is missing. I think that has been part of the broadcast for baseball/softball matches for quiet some time now in the US, and it would help TV viewers to follow the action. 

changing score isn't really fast , it takes some time , but yeah graphics is very well

Despite what the IOC might think softball is not women’s baseball and baseball is not men’s softball.

 

TBH as long as MLBers aren’t involves I’d rather see men’s softball in the Olympics over men’s baseball.

When I first started watching baseball they still had people chewing tobacco & spitting. You don’t get that in softball so much.  :noshake:

Nice, we got a homerun on the first match. 

I think that today we'll see a lot of American home run, just wait ITA-USA match :p

Chiba 2018 Worlds had two fields. The main one for softball and the reserve on which was a baseball field.

 

Not using a softball field at the Olympics is disappointing, but probably the Agenda 2020 is to blame...

at least we're having some hits now which's not really bad 

That’s another good thing about softball. It is all about getting the ball in play. Not waiting for the big muscle guy to hit it into the river.

      Russian athletes that have changed nationalities

      I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->

      Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)

      That's what I'd plan as well (except for MelFest), but I also know I am hypocritical enough to still want to watch the show and have a fun evening

      Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.

      Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
