    NBC and some of their cable networks still have programming all throughout that Sunday, so they probably want to save TV coverage of the Closing Ceremony until that night. And the streaming option is still there for those who want to watch it live

    Looked like Cavendish was a lock to win. Then he wasn't. Then of course he won. Great job by his team there
  3. Quaker2001
    Correct
  4. Quaker2001
    My thoughts exactly. Was worried this wouldn't come until after the weekend. They had a press release about that a few months ago. Yes, absolutely it's long past time to have that happen. Of course, who knows what the Ceremonies will look like without spectators in attendance

    I know this is meaningless to anyone not in the United States, but they just released their full TV schedule.. TOKYO OLYMPICS LISTINGS I put together a big spreadsheet of all the event listings. I'll share that here once I add all this info in.

    As an American.. LOL. I get things are different in Japan, but this reads like the kind of sleazy tactic some Americans were going with last year and probably got laughed out of the courtroom

    A lot of tennis players (and golfers) withdrew from Rio due to Zika. So I wouldn't necessarily go by them.

    The majority of our sports stadiums are open at full capacity. Many people in this country consider the pandemic to be over, so I imagine we would have been much more open to the idea (obviously it's a moot point considering where we were a year ago, so it's not like anyone could have predicted we'd be where we are right now)

    There goes Vingegaard. Carapaz in big trouble
  10. Quaker2001
    They said "in the coming days" as they have to consult with OBS and their broadcast partners in order to set the full schedule

    Yes, you can really blame this person for being stupid. If this incident didn't get caught on camera, would she get in trouble? Maybe not. But she did and deserves to be punished for it. Like @Grassmarketsaid, if they make an example of her, maybe the next stupid person won't be so stupid.

    International Gymnastics Federation releases draw for Tokyo Olympics

    Wow, Cavendish got it! What a finish. Incredible stage
  14. Quaker2001
    Otherwise known as "double elimination." Very standard for baseball tournaments. Baseball is not a good sport to play single elimination. So yea, this is a really strange format they came up with (and is pretty much the same number of games as the softball tournament), but probably the best they could do to make a 6 team tournament work with only 1 venue

    Remind me again what continent Nagano is on If the NHL ever wants to make inroads into Asia, this is it. China, needless to say, is a slightly larger market than Korea, so that may make a difference. But they'll likely use whatever excuses they can think of to avoid making it happen
  16. Quaker2001
    Yea, as I look at it again, more an unfortunate matter of that last kink in the road and Ewan not anticipating how little room there was going to up against the barriers
  17. Quaker2001
    He's still down. I hope he's alright, but that was totally his fault from what it looks like
  18. Quaker2001
    Wow, how many big crashes can 1 stage have? And we're only on stage 3.
  19. Quaker2001
    It's based on straight world rankings, so group A has the #1, #4, and #5 ranked teams. Group B has #2, #3, and #6. SO by default, group B was likely to be the weaker group

    Was just going to ask when beach volleyball is coming. Definitely interested to see that one so I know when I'm going to be sleeping in late July
  21. Quaker2001
    Have they set the full schedule for that or just the groups? Tokyo site has nothing thus far
  22. Quaker2001
    This isn't quite as bad as some formats where every team makes it to the knockout stage at the same starting point. 1st place in your group means the worst you can do is play for the bronze medal. 3rd place means 1 more loss and you're out. If a team finishes 3rd and then gets to the gold medal game, they'll probably have a better overall record than another team that didn't get there. It'll all even out in the end in that regard

    True, but team Israel made it to the 2nd round of the last WBC. In 2013, Italy advanced out of their group. Baseball results tend to be somewhat random that way.
  24. Quaker2001
    Technically it's 50/50 since there's only 6 teams and 3 get medals
  25. Quaker2001
    Oy, another major crash in the peloton. No fan interference this time Chris Froome and Andre Greipel among the riders involved
