Czechia blows a 3-1 lead vs Switzerland...

Medal ceremony rehearsal yesterday. Apparently the speaker used Pola Beltowska's name for silver medal

At this rate Sochowicz might face an uphill battle to even make Top 20 as usual makes a bid to become the best country without an operational luge track

Vonn completed the training run

Sui/Han didn't look great

mixed relay announced: Badacz-Guńka-Sidorowicz-Żuk. Top 10 place is probably doable IF we avoid penalty loops (Żuk on the last leg is shaky for that).

There are no style points in training rounds (as you probably noticed long time ago ).

Apparently Jeanmonnot asked not to be on the last leg so I presume she doesn't do the last leg of women's relay either? Her finish sprint speed is suspect indeed but it's not like France has to worry about that too much in this particular event.

4-1

leads 2-1 after the 2nd period.

France picked Simon over JBB for the mixed relay

Am I the only one who thinks the neon green circle is distracting?

When I started watching Virgo was mainly in the trick shots but quite a few snooker players (active & retired) did that in the mid 90s. His prime playin days were before my time but obviously I realized he was a good player.

John Virgo (snooker) passed away at the age of 79. He was still commenting on the Masters tournament for BBC last month.

They dropped U-21 squads for a reason (after they admitted senior amateurs make no sense). The days of Communist bloc & Brazil amateurs playing the Olympics are over. Alas it gave one of only two OG gold medals in strictly team sports

I'm pretty sure Anna Goodman competed in 2010 OG with a torn ACL and that was in slalom so more knee movement than speed events...

Marian Kasprzyk (boxing) - 1964 Olympic Champion & 1960 bronze medallist passed away at the age of 86.

It's called figure skating in Poland The plot twist is with gymnastics - we call rhythmic gymnastics as artistic gymnastics and artistic gymnastics as sport gymnastics

@Book@GrassmarketYeah, compulsory figures. Denise Biellmann finishing out of medals in 1980 OG despite 1st in FS and 2nd in SP is probably the most known instance of CF negative impact.

Like @phelpssaid there's a huge chance MP gets axed from OG than re-inventing its soul. The obstacle part will never become 'the' soul of this sport (it's more suitable for X Games if anything). The laser part is odd enough already. The number of participant countries will shrink, nobody will build the eligible obstacle courses if there isn't mass interest. I'd be surprised if MP is still an Olympic sport beyond 2040.

Alcaraz completes CGS in four sets over Djokovic!

Promoting bad swimmers AND better shooters over better runners (overall less favorable for endurance value) which I think is supposed to help attract new athletes - endurance is usually the biggest turn-off.

Hoffman & Raimund are the only Germans who had decent results this season. Geiger did nothing aka even less than Paschke and one dead cat bounce here after OG nominations shouldn't matter and it clearly doesn't. I support German nomnations. Geiger should be nowhere near 2026 OG.

One better look out if Germany didn't test some 'magical potatoe sack suit' with this Geiger performance in Willingen
