They shouldn't give it an all-round name if it's not an all-round competition. That's like having the speed skating all-round world championships with a 500m, 1000m and 1500m

 

Which is almost the case in the recent editions, isn't it? :p

 

They should call it "Procul Omnia Circa", since apparently Latin makes it sound so cool.

500m - 1500m - 5000m - 10.000m, nope, not really :d 

 

Although I'd be fine with 5000m becoming 3000m (so 500-1500-3000-10.000), as long as obviously both the shortest and longest events stay in it. Just like the omnium in track cycling should have both something very explosive and very much endurance-like :p

Oh, so they didn't go with that idea of dropping 5000m/10000m and introducing 1500m. Nice. :p

Chloe Dygert is not normal :lol:

 

3:20.072 in the individual pursuit qualifying and she absolutely, completely destroyed Sarah Hammer's 2010 world record by more than two seconds :lol::bowdown:

 

That's no biggie. :lol:

 

Explains the team pursuit final. :p

    • We have much more events and there may be no Russia in 2026 so most of the NOCs should improve. But not Poland i’m afraid
    • I’ve had 2weeks long Olympic holidays each time since i graduated from the university in ancient times of year 2003   Both winter and summer. Always.   i had those olympic holidays in every job contract 😉
    • For sure better for  one silver - I think it was Shelly Rudman, Skeleton.  Can definitely improve on that.   Still remember it as a good games, though - think it was the first time I took two weeks off work to watch a Winter Games.

    • As a Montreal Canadien fan, I am in agreement. However, he is struggling recently and is demoted to the 4th line this week. Hoping he can turn it around. 
    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
