In two ends they have sent like 5 stones through the house... I was about to say the same thing. Its like Spain just picked some random kids and sent them.

Cobi 947 Posted January 12, 2020 #804 Share Posted January 12, 2020 It seems these guys are not very good, but yesterday they won against Estonia and they played decently against Poland (6-3 up after the 5th in), so probably they are not the worst team of the competition.

Last year there were 200 players in Spain, but I don't know how many of them were of the right age to participate here. Probably, no more than 10.

Olympian1010 7,479 Posted January 12, 2020 Author #806 Share Posted January 12, 2020 It really is shame they’re not broadcasting more events. I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve been able to watch and follow so far. Plus, it seems like there more interest in these games than before. NBC, CBC, Eurosport, Marca Claro are all broadcasting a good amount of the games. It’s just a shame that the OBS refuses to broadcast more than a few events at the YOGs. I don’t get it. If you really wanted to grow the event, you’d make more content available. At least the live timing for this edition is good, so following online is possible, but it’s still not as fun as watching. Hopefully we see more the events in the future, but I fear we’ll see very little in Dakar. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,479 Posted January 13, 2020 Author #810 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I have to apologize, but I’m not able to event preview for tomorrow, so I’m sorry about that. Switching my sleep schedule as taken a bit of toll on me, and I need some time to relax tonight. Out of curiosity, has anyone been reading the articles I post, or am I pretty much just wasting time with those? “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
