Rough morning for the :NED

Nobody sees the silver for Kamminga as rough though, this was exactly as expected: Kamminga starting like a madman (the best way for him to race) and Stubblety-Cook finishing way faster than anyone else. Considering how close this race was, any medal would have been a success and unlike....

 

Spoiler

...the rowing women...

 

he definitely sees this as a big success :d

American NBC taking time to show ANOTHER fluff piece of Caeleb Dressel

 

They just can't show the swimmers presentation or it could be like first day of finals, they did not showed the women's 100m butterfly semifinal because they were focusing celebrating the gold at the 400 IM

Dutch NOS generally likes to go with analysing every Dutch race so long that they're back just in time for the next non-Dutch final (if they even show that) :p 

 

Because the regular viewer here apparently wants the STORY instead of live sports.

I really don't think the regular viewer is doing anything else but sleeping at the moment.

Rowdy Gaines, us commentator for NBC is looking more cautious with his commentary LOL, now he is saying he doesn't want to jinx Murphy but he 'expects him to do well' 

 

He has slow down after the Ledecky losses and the overall slow american start so I think now he learned his lesson to tune down his usual american cheerleading

    • The Italian team bought a wax- bus from Sweden before the season and acquired head of their serviceman, so maybe that's the reason? The investment hasn`t been successful so far, because there is still a void beyond Pellegrino and these young skiers aren`t mentally ready for a tough fight.   Once there was a skier from Poland - Justyna Kowalczyk, who fought with the whole coalition of Norwegians at that time: Bjoergen, Johaug etc. Thanks to her strong psyche she was able to win difficult finishes with Bjoergen. Diggins is doing the same now - she gives 120%. This is the only way you can win with Norwegians. Apart from Pellegrino I don't see anyone in our team who has the ambition and the will to fight.
    • Diggins and Pellegrino have never had great physical conditions but their mental have always been on point. The entire American team is brave and ambitious. On the other hand the Italian team is physically weak and has no ambition. There is no visible will to fight and progress is born in the head- that`s says once Filippo Ganna.
    • I've send my Stage 1 votes
    • I will vote, but on the second stage.
    • Johaug chasing Diggins will be fun and let's see how long will it take her to catch up, if at all
