    They managed to find footage of the golf cart accident and showed it on the broadcast.
  2. NearPup
    Saw it in real time (stepped on the inside of his lane), it was a pretty clear one IMO.
  3. NearPup
    And Linke is fifth again.

    There was a jump-off in the men's high jump at the 2015 worlds, but that was between three athletes (Drouin, Bondarenko and Zhang). Probably would have been a little ridiculous for there to be a 3-way tie for gold between athletes that jumped to 2.33m...
  5. NearPup
    Ya but even if you are the more competitive athlete... what is the downside, really? Especially at the Olympics where you don't have to share prize money. Even if the odds for the jump-off are *really* loopsided, you take a 100% chance to win a shared gold over a 75% chance to win a solo gold any day.
  6. NearPup
    Ya, if we are going to essentially do away with the jump-off then the countback should revert back to the old rule where ties were less common.
  7. NearPup
    I honnestly like the possibility for ties in general (I really hate contrived tie breakers or races that are timed to a degree of precision that doesn't make sense), but the rule for how it can happen in the vertical jumps is a bit ridiculous.
  8. NearPup
    I don't think we are ever seeing a jump off in a major championship again (unless they change the rules).
  9. NearPup
    Heh, we had the same thought xD

    is Ingebrigtsen's krypronite.

    Fun fact: Marilou Duvernay-Tardif is the younger sister of Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, a Super Bowl winner with the Kansas City Chiefs and co-winner of Canada’s athlete if the year in 2020.
  12. NearPup
    And some AC.
  13. NearPup
    Gardiner is down and out O.o
  14. NearPup
    These 800m heats have been a bloodbath.
  15. NearPup
    Unless the sweeps every event it's a disaster. So unfortunetly it's already been a bad championships.
  16. NearPup
    Strictly speaking I win either way :P
  17. NearPup
    Qualifying through the repechage is unlikely, but I think it’s possible. This US team is better than their world ranking indicates imo. Either way, this is clearly a rebuilding phase, but I’m optimistic this team will be better in the LA quad than in the Paris quad.
  18. NearPup
    The qualifies after winning 24-14. will go to the repechage.
  19. NearPup
    Kevon Williams is making the difference so far in this match with two mostly solo tries. leads 19-7 with four minutes to go.
  20. NearPup
    leads 12-7 at the half.
  21. NearPup
    beats to grab the final repechage spot. And now the big finale, vs with an Olympic spot on the line.
  22. NearPup
    Teams where Canada should be able to qualify: men’s and women’s basketball, women’s football. Teams where Canada can qualify but aren’t favoured (some of these are real long shots): men’s and women’s field hockey, men’s rugby 7s, men’s and women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s water polo.
  23. NearPup
    qualifies for the Olympics, beating 51-0. First qualification for any Canadian team for Paris.
  24. NearPup
    Surfing *can* be held in a wave pool (and one of the world series stop uses such a venue). Different format and the purists hate it, but it can be done. Alternatively I doubt the IOC would object if surfing was held outside of Hungary.

    Maeder is only 16 O.o (He also has a father, hence the name)
