thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted October 15, 2018 #1991 Share Posted October 15, 2018 This mixed teams format in table tennis is severely flawed. The Japanese team is playing against "Europe 1" team (Serbia and Sweden). The Serbian girl lost the first match, but the Swedish guy had a very convincing win in the second match. Then they are forced to play doubles against a Japanese pair who had the chance to train together for months. Really fair, yeah. konig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the same yesterday when our male dobles fo tennis defeat the mix team of Australia/Bulgaria, how many times our players train together and how many times the mix team do the same?, a very strong advantage for our team....... thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,504 Posted October 15, 2018 #1993 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) I don't know how it has been for you guys, but I'm watching yesterday's athletics now and it's just goddamn impossible to follow it with these combined times/distances...I mean, it would be 'somewhat' ok to follow it if at least they have full live graphics before, during and after every single attempt and heat, but even the graphics are terrible. In half the attempts the 'Total' (if they even show the 'Total', which they mostly don't) only shows the result of stage 1 for example, and not even once have I seen a simply list of current standings being shown after, for example, one attempt. This is a major failure.

heywoodu 13,504 Posted October 15, 2018 #1995 Share Posted October 15, 2018 A jump being measured by where the hair of the athlete landed I mean, that's right and everything, but it is just impossible to do that all by hand and the naked eye, no way it is accurate enough to give a result with centimeters..

That's nothing compared to discus which barely leaves a mark anyway. And on top of that, the measurers quite often watch it hit the ground while standing 4 or 5 meters away... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
