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? I read the speed skating and biathlon, since I don't care much about figure skating I probably won't read those I only had a tiny remark or two: Quote The format of the single mixed relay meant the lead changed hands at every exchange. Shooting well was critical to a good result, since missed targets resulted in penalty loops. That's basically like saying "skiing fast is critical to a good result in alpine skiing" or "climbing well is critical on a big climb in road cycling". It has nothing to do with this format, it's simply a part of the sport. Plus the first sentence makes it sound like the format meant the lead changed at every exchange, but that's not the case. It sometimes happens, it sometimes doesn't. Mind you, those are only small things, I thought the articles were excellent to read If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I try to write the articles so anyone can understand what’s happening in that event, so that’s why I’d say something like that. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Cobi 947 Posted January 13, 2020 #828 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Silver medal for Ot Ferrer, just after Rocco Baldini! 3rd medal for Spain, which is quite impressive considering we didn't win a single one in 2012 and 2016. Edit: Finally, bronze. The other Italian guy has finished 2nd. Edited January 13, 2020 by Cobi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
