British Women's Open 1st Georgia Hall -17 2nd Pornanong Phatlum -15 3rd Ryu So-yeon -13 Another major win for Europe

Yes - But I like repeating it. It makes me look clever if I agree with you.

Nothing can possibly go wrong now...

She competed in the team final yesterday but not in the qualifying. Strange.

By the way the British team made a strange mistake not to let Taeja James try to qualify for the floor final. I know she's only 15 but she's already capable of winning a European medal,

I don't think they would have beaten the Russia but 163-164 should have been possible.

Important to remember GB are missing their 4 best gymnasts this week. A full strength team should have pushed Russia for gold.

The Dutch tactics explained...

You missed "Moscow Region record"...

Some championships have a rule where there must be 5 entrants before a bronze medal is awarded...

They do run the elimination race as a stand alone event at the European Championships but not the Worlds. Men's race tomorrow, women Tuesday

Apologies - The Australian women's 4 x 200 were disqualified in 2001 when the 3 other swimmers jumped into the pool before the last team had finished. Not because their last swimmer left the pool before the race ended,

The Australians lost a gold medal at the World Championships because of that rule a few years ago

The omnium needs a change in the format. 4 nearly identical races gets boring quickly

2016 was a failure because of 1 rider poisoning the atmosphere in the team. 2020 might be a failure because all the good sprinters except one have retired, The funding came from the success that came from training in the new velodromes.

Number of indoor velodromes in Great Britain in 1993 - 1 (120m long track) Number of indoor velodromes in Great Britain in 2018 - 6 ( 5 250m tracks) The success because of this is not a surprise.

I'm assuming they will remove them pretty quickly if the IOC keep threatening.

I agree. Keep for 2020 unless AIBA completely goes nuts. Make decision on 2024 by middle of 2021.
