    Polish TV guy says: "Canadians are cooling off in the water". Beata Konieczna: "They are not cooling off, they fell from the canoe".

    wins women's C2 500m. and with minor medals.

    I can only assume is one of the weaker teams here. probably higher-rated due to being former Soviet Union

    Yes, I can imagine losing the object is the biggest mistake possible. Watched some RG fails last week and ball & hoop seem to provide the biggest drama since they have a tendency to roll/bounce away

    Ko choking is far more familiar sight indeed
  6. Monzanator
    loses the ball. I have no idea how big of a penalty that is
  7. Monzanator
    Do all group events take place with the ball? Or was this the object selected for the Games?

    Like mentioned earlier, Poland has won a grand total of 0 Olympic gold medals in sprint canoeing. It's ill-advised to pick us for any gold.

    Korda leads Ko by three. It's funny, if it was Ko leading by this margin I'd say there is a chance for some meltdown. I don't see a choke from Korda though but you never know.

    14th for Nadolska. That's way above expectations.

    1-2. Seidel with bronze in only her third marathon ever? Mazuronak in 5th - an European who was actually born in Europe
  12. Monzanator
    It's the same as in cycling. It's much easier to follow than to set the pace leading.
  13. Monzanator
    Huh? She's still third. You didn't expect her to beat the Kenyans?
  14. Monzanator
    Salpeter has blown the engine! This is a race walking-like collapse!

    Told ya. It turns out I know what happens to Sinclair even better than the Canadians do

    And this is how it was supposed to be from the start. IOC crapped the bed as usual

    This should be even playing field, not "not impossible task". This format doesn't give speed speciallists any chance to win a medal. Like I've said even Polish TV said she doesn't stand a chance after she was still placed second before the final part. This is way too predictable and kills any excitement. Everyone knew she will finish 8th in both non-speed parts and therefore outside of the medals. She finished fourth due to only being 8 women in the final. If there were 10 she'd be like 5th or 6th.

    It's not about gold, Miroslaw would actually stand a chance to win any medal in Paris. Here in Tokyo even Polish TV didn't hype her for a medal despite the WR because everyone knew she would finish 8th in lead & boulder and hence miss out. You don't put Usain Bolt in 10,000 race and expect him to win a medal. I really hope this unfair combined gets canned in Paris and they will split the events like in World Games.

    Individual 100m sprints always come before 400 and that is the main goal, you want to start the athletics in a high and pick it from there.
  20. Monzanator
    Sure enough delivers in modern pentathlon, a totally obscure sport these days. Asadauskaite is 37yo though so they might not count on her in Paris anymore.

    Overall, how is the Games for Canada? Did you complain much about Week 1? Since Italy and Poland have had a tremendous run of form in Week 2 (by our own standards) I wonder if Canada had a better first or second week? You didn't win any golds in swimming?
  22. Monzanator
    Obviously she goes there. The days of Birgit Prinz retiring at age 34 are long over
  23. Monzanator
    has the most successful athletics in OG history already. Overall, if we win one more silver Tokyo will be the most successful SOG since Sydney 2000. 12 total medals are the most since Sydney 2000 already.
  24. Monzanator
    Neah, I wouldn't be surprised if she goes to Paris at age 41
  25. Monzanator
    Here's the thing, athletes can always pretend their watch failed or something and claim they didn't know they were on a warning. If a judge waves a card in your face then you can't claim you didn't see it.
