Oh, I didn’t realize the ISSF had switched formats again. I’ll need to see this format in action, but it seems a little over complicated for my liking. 

By comparison, they’re still using the old shooting format at the Southeast Asian Games

Yes there are live streams on the official Youtube channel or just type the Vietnamese phrase “SEA Games 31 truc tiep” on the search box

 

But the website is quite awful in term of results, I don’t think it will be informative nor having the real time result update

I find following the Games on Wikipedia a better alternative to the hard to follow results section of the official website.

I wonder if India will throw a temper tantrum. 2030 won't include shooting either 

Looks like they’ve started.

Basketball player Brittney Griner reportedly detained in Russia; WNBA, representatives working 'to get her home'

WNBA player Brittney Griner is being detained in Russia after customs officials said they found hashish oil in her luggage at an airport near Moscow in February, according to a report in the New York Times on Saturday.

The Russian Federal Customs Service on Saturday alleged it searched luggage believed to belong to Griner and found vape cartridges that contained oil derived from cannabis -- a crime that carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. While Griner was not mentioned by name, the customs service identified the detained person as a player for the U.S. women's team but did not specify the date of her detainment.

Some scores got "A" and some got "B" and it seems to be the best A and best B put together. The person in 12th had three As. Basically, you can't do the same rotation twice or they'll both count as A (this happened to the athlete)

Thanks!

Why is it that some of the athletes in the Big Air competition don’t have their two best runs count in the final score or in the case of the 12th place athlete, just the third run?

It’s sad to see this happen to him. Makes me wish he’d switch allegiance to another country and be more successful there.
