Change in race schedule

Summary:
Change in race schedule on Saturday, 24 July, Sunday, 25 July and Monday, 26 July

Details:
Based on the weather forecasts received from the Tokyo2020 Olympic Games weather services, adverse
weather is expected on Monday 26 July 2021 which would bring high winds and strong gusts creating probably
unequal and potentially unrowable racing conditions.
The weather forecast for Saturday 24 July 2021 and Sunday 25 July 2021 remains good. The World Rowing
Executive Committee has reviewed the options in Rule 63 and following consultations with IOC, Tokyo2020
Organising Committee and OBS have decided to make the following changes:

1. Racing will start at 8:00hrs with Repechage1 of W1x on Saturday 24 July 2021 and will follow the same order
of racing.
2. Men’s 8+ heats and Women’s 8+ heats will be moved from Sunday 25 July 2021 to Saturday 24 July 2021.
These races will start with M8+ H1 at 12:00hrs, followed by M8+ H2 at 12:10hrs, W8+ H1 at 12:20hrs, W8+ H2 at
12:30hrs.
3. All races planned on Monday 26 July 2021 will be moved to Sunday 25 July 2021 and will be held in the same
order starting at 11:00hrs with W1x Quarterfinals

This seems oddly typical for the Canadian team to finish one spot out of the elimination round ?
 
 Best of luck to Duenas and Barrett In the individual events, Duenas seems to often do better in the ranking than the elimination round at the Olympics so maybe this will go better this time. 

Well crap, sucks being one of the unlucky few  
 
Hope you'll feel at the very least somewhat energized today!

I got my first dose yesterday and holy this shit hits you like a truck. I feel like I have covid again (like I did in December). Hoping this clears up before the games start, because it would suck watching with 0 energy and feeling sick.

Here is CBC's intro (not a huge fan of it, Rio and PyeongChang were way better)
 

Nice to hear Steve Armitage's voice doing the announcing for rowing

top 10 in overall medals

I really feel for this Lithuanian team. They are the end victims of the IOC doing nothing worthwhile to punish the 'ROC' doping program.

No, but is certainly fitting for a typical Totallympics bashing masked under a pretense of "discussion".
 
Baseball/softball is like the only non-European-centric team sport at the Olympics. And it's here for one cycle. Just let it be.

Is there a more imperialistic sport than cricket though?

if only you'd inform yourself before writing this kind of stupid things...  
 
we have 4 american born players on the team out of 15 players...
 
and of those 4, 2 actually have been living and playing in Italy since many years (more than 10, they already played with our junior team when they were young) and 1 has 100% Italian heritage...
 
there's only 1 girl that's actually american who got our passport through marriage...
 
p.s. despite her name, Kotsoyanopoulos is 100% Italian (with Greek father)...
 
p.p.s. and the 2 stars of the team, are not among those "imported" players...actually, Piancastelli has been for years a star in the US college and pro system before returning home...

We never had any "external help" when it came to developing either baseball/softball or cricket.
 
And while baseball/softball are as marginal as they can be regarding the media attention, they both have players and both have enjoyed some European success (men's baseball team is always able to qualify for the European Championships, men's softball team recently came home with a historic medal, while the women's team is improving as well).
 
Cricket, meanwhile, is just non-existent. I guess this shows which IF is more invested into global development.

WBSC around 140 federations,cricket 105 if you include british territories Jersey,Guernsey..

Still better than cricket and kabaddi

vs in first round of +78 women

Really? Even cricket has more countries playing and more followers.

vs in first round of +78 women

I think WT, the beacon of transparency is not showing it online lol
 
However, we all know the results, if they are using the rankings.
