  1. Was going to mention him, but I thought “No, nobody is going to remember that far back”.
  2. Two minute time penalty, so Switzerland will take third.
  3. Another day of massacres on the shooting range. Slovenia 0/8.
  4. Ryan Crowser new shot put WR 23.38! Millrose Games New York! Perhaps not…. Just to confirm - Ryan Crouser 76 feet 8 and one half inches is a New World Record for the Shot Put!
  5. And to think you all mocked me when I suggested one-on-one tug o’war!
  6. Could not believe it, went from last to first in about 50m. Did not realise that Samkova was out injured: she was really the only person to challenge Bankes.
  7. Knowing the Americans he probably got in because he won some meaningless US National Champs in Steamboat Springs.
  8. We already seeing people either DNSing or pausing at the start & riding down solo.
  9. Here in Eurosport are adding their extra channels to the Sky Satellite & Virgin Cable channels on Tuesday. Those will give you pretty much 100% coverage of the Games, unless you have a pressing need for the four simultaneous curling & the two simultaneous hockey streams.
  10. British rowing legend Steve Redgrave also won Gold after a diabetes diagnosis. There is, or was, an American all-diabetic pro cycling team we saw sometimes when the World Tour visited the US. Also an American cross country skier, can’t remember who. So no need to be in despair.
  11. 4 0/5s at one shoot! Stremous wins for , don’t get many of those.
  12. Women getting the same horrible shooting conditions as the men. Oh dear Elise Gasparin 0/5 Lordy Chauveau & Gerbulova both also 0/5.
  13. Well, that is good. Remembering some of the horror stories of Nigerian athletes injured abroad….
  14. I guess sponsors demand it. Same story in the ski jumping, not even 50 entrants.
  15. Blowing a gale in Bavaria, going to make for some exciting shooting visits. Emelian Claude the only one to deal with it. Sheer luck for Aspenes, he gets 30 seconds of calm & everyone else gets a gale.
  16. 1000 euros for billiards isn’t going to buy even a single table. Maybe enough to renew the baize at the Parliament building.
  17. Jean-Marc Pontvianne registers a WL of five consecutive no jumps in the Triple Jump!
  18. Duplantis starts of his year at 6.02, very easy. Going for 6.19! His WR of 6.18 was set in Glasgow 2020, pretty much the last major meet before the Martian invasion.
  19. Quality is extremely variable. Given that they are mostly & tennis, rugby & cricket commentators in their day jobs, I wouldn’t get my hopes up. Even the won’t be great beyond hockey & curling.
  20. Almost certainly the case, had this same debate with a guy here in July.
  21. Just to confirm, is this Gurbanguly Mälikgulyýevich Berdymuhamedov, or some other Gurbanguly Berdymuhamedov?
  22. We are off in Karlsruhe. New format for the field events is: All jumps count All athletes jump five rounds Only three athletes jump the 6th round Leading athlete in 6th round jumps first so is actually disadvantaged Featured Events this year are: Women: 400m, 1500m, 60m hurdles, high jump, long jump Men: 60m, 800m, 3000m/5000m, pole vault, triple jump, shot put
  23. Judges are not going to make that mistake again!
