Now I can't unsee that TM... it is really annoying, and makes the IOC seem really petty.

HBO Max finally launched the Milano-Cortina main page on their platform. Was about time, I sterted to worry a bit

I hope soon. The results system in Paris came out one week before competition began (Day -2), so if Milan is following the same schedule, it should be out asap.

The World Games are a bit weird, aren't they ? The budget to host the event must be quite high (30 sports and venues, 4,000 athletes...) with the video platform to boradcast everything. But it looks like they cheap out on every other metrics that could enhance the spectator experience by a lot and without costing a ton (graphics, a few more presentators that have a somewhat knowledge of the sports they're commentating, a website not stucked in 1999, etc.)

Interval start, like cycling time trial or cross country skiing. The athletes don't know the course ahead of time, and navigate using a map (that they are only given at the start, so no time to study) and a compass. They have to visit/check-in/punch-in at checkpoints noted on the map. If they miss a checkpoint (called "control"), then they are disqualified. The fastest time wins. No teamwork, no assistance from coaches or support staff. 
 
There's some other rules too, of course (and I could have some things wrong), but those should be the basics.

Live tracking links for orienteering's middle distance events can be found on this page: https://orienteering.sport/event/the-world-games-2025/middle/
 
Reminder, those events will NOT be broadcast.

Here we go! Floorball is live! 

What country is everyone in? I am in the US and just used a VPN to connect to South Korea. Now everything is working properly.

I'm relieved to hear the problem isn't on my end, but still frustrating that it has been down for so long during the games.

Results system

Have to think of more later, but assuming she finishes,  Kinzang Lhamo in the marathon with more and more people joining her towards the finish  

just passed the 38km marker. Lhamo Kinzang is looking good!

still in km 35.

I was watching Athletics and one of the commentators told an awful dad joke that made me laugh:
 
A high jumper walks into a bar...
That's a miss!
 
This is why the world feed is superior to NBC!

He definitely used that earlier this week too
