    Ya, the race proper was probably the best race of the season. I'm very surprised.
  2. NearPup
    There was certainly a lot of luck involved there re: the Olympic final. But ya, it's not been a promissing season so far.

    Oh over a distance longer than SIX (abridged because it's a mass start) LAPS maybe interesting tactics could come into play. There was actually an arm sling this week-end, but that was because someone missed the proper handover (a push is just more effective).

    Ya, the relay works great in short track (the short track relays are among my favourite Olympic events), but long track is both too high speed and has too long of a straightaway to make relay exchanges work well. I'm not surprised inline relays work fine, given the smaller track and speeds more comparable to short track.

    I mean ya, it's just the team pursuit but for sprinters. I don't see anything wrong with the two events being very similar.

    Generally there just should not be relay events in long track. The team pursuit (and team sprint, as much as people here dislike it :P ) works as a model for a team event in speed skating. A relay does not.

    That atrocious mixed relay might be the single worse attempt at a mixed gendered team event I have ever seen at a senior top level event, and the bar is extremely low. (The only thing worse I've ever seen is a mixed gendered / mixed weapon fencing team event, but it wasn't at this high a level of competition)

    I really dislike the new Davis and BJK Cup formats, makes these wins feel like a real anticlimax. Still, amazing to see Canada win both these tournaments, would have been completely unthinkable when I first started following Tennis.

    I will confess to having literally never heard about Stakusic before yesterday.

    They'll really do anything to never hold this sport outside again.
  11. NearPup
    That's definitively dissapointing.

    The esports community has also completely ignored this event. Liquipedia (the biggest results aggregator for tournament results) describes the Pan-am games tournament as a tier four tournament, which is the lowest tier they assign. It means a minor tournament, usually held online, without any top team presents.

    Let me tell you about all the times (which is bigger and more populated than two EU countries) didn’t get to send any athletes to the Olympics…
  14. NearPup
    Would you like the results to be taken after the first round?
  15. NearPup
    is already qualified, if qualifies again their quota transfers to , which also qualified here, and it transfers once again to... . So no Olympic qualification drama left to decide.
  16. NearPup
    qualifies a show jumping team, meaning we have a full team in equestrian.
  17. NearPup
    being eliminated in the group stage is certainly somewhat of an upset.
  18. NearPup
    That's actually a lot less true now that they've changed the scoring system.

    In my case I'm in the PNW for the tech jobs and because I was running away from my ex, and without going to Alaska, Hawaii, Newfoundland or Northern Canada that was about as far as I could get from them xD

    We should have done a Totallympic meetup! @james89 @Josh

    I’d go further and say it’s quite disrespectful towards the competition itself to decline a quota in a situation where it just means a lesser athlete will get to compete. Really tired of the NOC’s selection procedures. In an era where gaining Olympic quotas in most sports is quite difficult they are completely unnecessary.

    Time to break out the flag again - Rikki Doak isn’t just from New Brunswick, she’s from my hometown (Fredericton)!

    Attending my first ever figure competition (Skate Canada Intl in Vancouver) and you’ll never guess it: in the very first figure skating event I see in person Madeline Schizas finished 4th! (it was a very good 4th tho, she was 8th after the short program)
  25. NearPup
    What’s up with Canada and being an absolute hazard in the Madison?
