Podium for Grecu in the women's monobob! 

Luckily for us, it happened exactly as we thought. Unfortunately, the Serbian players had to play the entire match, the difference in value between the starters and the reserves being quite large, and thus at the end of the match their fatigue was evident.

Serbia, like Romania, has a changing team, honestly, if Romania doesn't play extremely badly, we have a good chance of winning. I would say 70% for us to win this match against Serbia

Excellent start of the season! Live timing wasn't ideal, some transponders issues here and there, so while she should have crossed the line first (started 2nd), I didn't see her in the finish list even after 8-9 women finished...luckily then she called and when I asked if she finished, she said she did, so no problems and it was indeed just some transponder issue  
 
Tomorrow it's the 10k classic, first time she does 10k races back-to-back, let's see how that goes  Less pressure though, since that one won't count for the Brazilian Olympic ranking, only classic sprint and freestyle distance races count for that.

I believe there will be some streaming because they were preparing a lot of cameras everywhere at the stadium today.

I ended up doing it in the end, what's your excuse now?  

is in

is in

This whole thing is, quite honestly, absurd. Two wrongs don't make a right, and this is exactly what happened in this situation.
 
What I understand is:
 
1. Chiles filed an inquiry based on her difficulty score. One of her leaps was not validated (it was not completed), so she asked the judges to review the leap so she could gain 0.1 more in difficulty. Astonishingly, it's very clear that the leap wad NOT fully rotated, but judges somehow decided that it was complete and awarded her 0.1 more in difficulty, which put her ahead of Bărbosu.
 
Now, questioning whether the leap was fully rotated or not would open a can of worms because it would come down to interpretations of the code of points, and this would not lead anywhere. It depends on the angles where the judges are sitting and the pressure of delivering a definitive verdict in less than a minute, so a medal would never be stripped based on this;
 
2. Voinea was penalized with a neutral deduction (-0.1) because judges thought she had stepped out of bounds. Her mother and coach could have challenged this penalty, but instead she challenged Voinea's difficulty score, which was clearly hit by Voinea's somewhat poor execution at some points. Not the most thoughtful move. Challenging the penalty after the competition would not lead anywhere because the rules allowed her to challenge the penalty during the competition and she didn't;
 
3. Bărbosu did not really have any reason to complain about her scores. She presented her routine and was scored accordingly.
 
Given the technical procedures, I understand that Romania found a breach so the country could have a medal. Romania is not wrong at all. They have every right to contest the situation and the discovery of the inquiry being accepted 4 seconds too late is a genius move. Romania dodged a bullet by not accusing the execution judges of being biased (which they were, but it's nearly impossible to prove this objectively).
 
Now, if we want justice, we have to understand that Voinea is the true winner of the bronze medal. She was penalized unfairly and had her mother challenged the penalty at the time, she would have had a medal for herself. Bărbosu has a medal now, and this is great for Romania, but the one who really deserved the medal is still empty-handed because the judges made a mistake. No matter how we look at it, there are no winners here.
 
 

There would be no positives in sharing the medal. The judges did everything to promote the American and screw the Romanian and they probably realize the world actually still pays attention to this sport and see the biased scoring so they found a technical reason not to look biased for once.

Sure, an olympic medal is an olympic medal and is very well that Barbosu gained it in the end, but entire world saw what type of refs we have, so nothing change my opinion about them, not even this medal after the apeal. For me those refs remain a big garbages

Let's give all medals in all sports to the USA. Maybe this way they will stop these robberies everytime they compete in Olympics.
