And :SWE Sara & Wega are back. :yes No idea why Swedish selectors put her as individual, instead of a team member, but oh well...

 

Similar to :AUS putting Emma McNab in the team, instead of Bill Levett. Cross-country is by far Emma's worst phase, so this selection is very anti-Australian. :p

What an awful day for the hosts after winning the team silver yesterday. Steffen Peters is 16th, Adrienne Lyle 17th (out of 17)! Both made huge and uncharacteristic mistakes.

 

So this means the Americans will shockingly not have the full 3 quotas for the freestyle.

@OlympicIRL Judy Reynolds & Vancouver have just secured the top 15 freestyle final, after climbing no less than 11 positions compared to yesterday. What a comeback! :thumbup:

Wow, that's fantastic news! I hadn't factored them into the reckoning for this competition since they had a long lay-off so it's nice to see them doing well :)

Indeed, and she has also proven her worth in another job this week. She did an excellent job as co-commentator at FEItv in couple of sessions, definitely one of the best athlete commentators I've heard!

 

Funnily enough, the host commentator is also Irish, and at one point they exchanged some Irish saying while talking about whether. I didn't quite catch it, but before that they were talking about having all four seasons during a day in Tryon. :d

:USA Kasey Perry-Glass is the new leader at 78.5%...


Sadly, it looks like the Swedish judge still has a personal agenda against her, just like in Aachen.

Briliant dressage day for :IRL Ireland (not something you say often  :lol:).

 

Reynolds qualifies for freestyle, Ennis and McCarthy enter top 10 in eventing!! All that despite McCarthy being the victim of the biggest robbery of WEG so far.

Oh yes, well in Ireland it's common to say we have all 4 seasons in one day, because that is how changeable our weather is. This funny weather graphic tells the story :d

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
    • Just another reason why it's super dumb that the NOC max in freestyle skiing isn't 40.
    • In rugby there's More Squidge Rugby (the main channel has proper videos).
