Is there any kind of doping control at this competition? the Chinese seem to have found, during covid era, the key to success in the eights crews; surely they must rely on clean stuff, such as drinking tortoise blood, like Uncle Ma's army

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

God damn it, the world rowing site keeps breaking down. Since first heat M4X I have been able to reload ..... 

I find it surprising how much better the canoe sprint coverage is, both in terms of having a reliable site and having a live stream for the all the races. I always thought that rowing is the superior discipline in terms of international interest because it's more Western and more well-liked in the wealthier parts of the world than canoe, and yet ICF is doing a much better job with canoe sprint.

Calm down. If Romanian girls lose the race, at least they can go back to the Eiffel Tower, Galeries Lafayette and other West European tourists attractions to collect signatures.

Only a vic liu can compare Olympic/World medalists with some poor peasant girls doped up their asses by the mighty party for a scrap of forged metal

Btw: I was sure that you or other Chinese guy with same intellectual skills will come up

By saying that I just want to act as your way to clarify stereotype originated by ignorance not erudition and baselessly insulting rivals only makes yourself even more miserable. You could do a little more research on how those girls get selected, how they get trained and who is their coach etc. Some information is just on Worldrowing.com. But you just choose to ignore and insult these hardworking girls.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
