I think for those federation they should take away some accreditation for the officials. Then they would do it 😉

I think one of the key lessons is not to charge silly prices for tickets. One of the great sights were seeing how many families were there with children. That’s where Eugene messed up

Definitely enjoyed these games. Had the luxury of staying with a friend in Coventry so got to see a lot of the events up close along with the opening ceremony. Great atmosphere and the whole city was buzzing so still coming down off the high of it all. England had a good games securing a record number of medals. Slightly disappointed we missed out on Golds in some of the team events but enjoyed the Gymnastics, Athletics along with the Basketball and Beach Volleyball which I previously hadnt seen much of but think I could get used to those sports. In general pleased to see all the home nations doing well along with all the others who are going home with hopefully a lot of good memories.

Femke Bol going for the triple, which has been the main part of discussion and wonder in the Netherlands.

Femke Bol gaat in elk geval voor 3x goud. Leuk dat ze het een keer probeert: als het ergens een keer kan, is het op dit EK. Uiteindelijk hoeft ze 'maar' vijf keer te lopen (zij liever dan ik :-)). De 400 meter vlak wordt close met de Poolse concurrentes, de 400 horden zou 'easy' moeten zijn en de 4x400 meter hangt vooral af van de vorm van de derde en vierde loopster (ik vermoed Lisanne de Witte en Eveline Saalberg). Verder ben ik erg benieuwd naar Jorinde van Klinken. Zij leek toch altijd een groter talent te zijn dan Jessica Schilder, dus als ze dat ook op seniorenniveau gaat bewijzen, gaan er mooie dingen volgen. Op de marathon heeft Nienke Brinkman by far de snelste tijd staan, maar wat mij betreft zegt dat ook weer niet zó veel. Tot slot ben ik ook benieuwd of Anouk Vetter wéér een goede meerkamp kan afleveren. Zij is de laatste jaren wel lekker steady geworden. Oh ... en een medaille voor Tony van Diepen zou fantastisch zijn!

Vetter will not be attending. And yes also the German federation has not deregistered athletes unfairly.

no, 9.88 with 5.1 m/s favourable wind can't be "translated" in a sub-10 legally wind assisted time... it's accepted by the scientists community that you need at least a 1 m/s wind to be effective, then a 2 m/s wind gives about 10/100 advantage to men and 12/100 to women... so, a 5 m/s is about 25/100 advantage over the "neutral" performance... we can say Taftian's run would have been slightly over 10 seconds dead with legal 2 m/s wind and between 10.12/10.15 with no wind at all...

TV Coverage is going to be a bit complicated because the event is not big enough to have its own TV contract, so existing contract between TV companies and individual sports are to be respected. As far as is concerned this means that: BBC Streaming & Red Button - has full Olympic-like coverage during the day BBC1, BBC2, BBC3 TV - will have the most popular stuff like triathlon, rowing, athletics, track cycling, swimming. Eurosport / GCN / Discovery Plus - Road & Track cycling, BMX Freestyle Eurovision Sports streaming - Gymnastics, Swimming, Athletics. You can see that the BBC are treating the Aquatics from Rome and the Championships from Munich as one event, so I have updated my time calculator to include all the aquatics events - ie all the LEN sports except team water polo. There have also been some minor revisions to the Munich timetable over the last couple of weeks, so I recommend you download again if you're going to use it. Munich Time Calculator.xls

One could say that Dufour lost this title on the one tempis, but more likely it was due to her decision to ride Vamos Amigos instead of the much more experienced, and more refined Bohemian. Sure, Vamos posted some nice scores in Aachen, slightly higher than Bohemian, but that was an outlier. Anyways, the new champion got slightly overscored, as it is very often the case with British riders, but hey, at least she doesn't have a fake, rehearsed persona like her more popular namesake. Fry seems to be quite shy in fact. Sort of like Rybakina of dressage. Dinja van Liere got the bronze with a hilariously inflated score. Sure, Hermes has very nice and elegant piaffe and passage, but they are still largely unpolished (doesn't matter, the judges are turning the blind eye). In transitions his legs go every-which way, more like a deer rather than a horse. And finally Isabell Werth got robbed. She should have won the bronze medal. She got demoted to 4th, basically, single-handedly by the British judge whose scores have been eye raising more often than not, to put it lightly. Hopefully he will not be returning for any major championships any time soon.

Swimming is my favourite sport to watch along with Ice hockey Diving and Athletics. I would watch it everyday lol

Thanks @Olympian1010 and hi to everyone! I've lurked as a guest on the forum for a few years now and thought it was about time I signed up. I've been enjoying the Commonwealth Games the past few days and always feel like I'm missing something after a multi-event ends, but not long to wait for the European Championships!
