    Conor Dwyer, USA, Swimming. 20 month ban, retiring effective immediately.

    It would be fine if they didn’t use the completely, 100% BS federation ranking.
  3. NearPup
    Those systems aren’t good but, again, they don’t depend on a ranking system that has zero correlation with how strong a country’s top 3x3 team is. The qualification system would not be a complete joke if the ranking system it depends on entirely was a reasonable.

    Karate would have the worst qualification system of this cycle if not for 3x3. But even then, you don’t see countries organize bs domestic kata competitions to farm world ranking points for their 100th rank karateka.

    3x3 has the worst qualification system of any sport since I started following that in 2008. By a huge margin. I dare anyone to find me a worst one.

    Ya, if they straight up copied the format of the mixed alpine team event it would be a very good event. I’ve always been of the opinion that the duals format would work very well in a team event.

    Apparently the FIS is developing a mixed dual mogul event with an eye on including such event in the Olympics. That would actually be a pretty cool way to (finally) include dual moguls in the Olympics.

    The Chinese Communist party and the American left have almost nothing in common tbh.

    I feel this format is much more balanced. I really love watching the AC in major events (not so much in world cups) so I am glad it is sticking around. It is good to have one race in the program of major events that rewards all-rounders.

    Glad they are keeping it alive, and intrigued to see the effect the format change will have.

    Well, glad Cournoyer got Canada’s spot. He barely missed out on Rio.

    I think the action inside the stadium was very good, the men’s 3000m steeplechase has to be the highlight of the championships for me. It’s too bad that the first week felt dead. Overall I guess it was okay as a TV event. But I am very happy we are going to a proper athletics town in 2021.

    Two Olympic veterans on the US team: Monica Abbott competed in Beijing and Cat Osterman competed in both Beijing and Athens.

    Not that it ultimately matters, but given that there are only 12 AA spots available before re-alocation one would think he is more likely to qualify through the event finals, right?

    It's a tiny island country just to the north of Venezuela.
  16. NearPup
    Obviously any black athlete represents Africa /s
  17. NearPup
    Men's final appears a little more competitive.
  18. NearPup
    The women’s match was not close... in fact not a single game of any of the three rubbers was close.
  19. NearPup
    Does that mean and qualify for the Olympics in the men's 4x100m?
  20. NearPup
    Simone Biles is pretty good...
  21. NearPup
    Olympic qualification, I'd guess.
  22. NearPup
    Gotta say, having the 1500m and the 5000m finals on the same day seems like bad scheduling.
  23. NearPup
    Lol, 15cm over the board for Rojas . Still, gotta be on world record watch in the women's triple jump.
  24. NearPup
    So what?
  25. NearPup
    Hassan was the pacemaker :P
