    Until Frazier’s score came in the BBC were saying all the time from the finish of his routine it would be at least close to a medal.

    The British press will spin that inexplicably as the UCI hating GB lol - it’s easy to moan even when GB would have been humiliated in the final.

    With Cycling getting silvers for GB will get them a lot more criticism than getting silvers in other sports. The BBC have tried to reduce expectations but it hasn’t really worked going by social media. Cycling is also part of the culture war - both in terms of the British Cycling set up and also the general culture of cycling.

    GB have put in a request for Denmark to be DQ (according to the website - I have the gymnastics on the tv)

    The BBC commentator has this Olympics started to start accusing the judges of being biased towards the Chinese.

    IAAF won’t care - records help build interest in a sport wrecked by retirement and doping and as everyone is doing it nobody at home notices,

    I think the worse result in Atheltics will surely be Great Britain. No medals looks a serious possibility and I would not hesitate how much an effect that will have - even those putting in good performances will be affected.

    NOS sound just like the BBC.

    The two Namibians ( and Semneya and co )

    Masalingi has passed my parents feminine test which the 800m three always failed. So maybe many people will find it hard to understand her as much as she doesn’t look like massively masculine unlike those three. Maboma falis it - she is lot more noticeable.

    True. I have to reset the urge to tell someone I know defending them on Twitter to piss off because I would get into trouble.

    It be interesting how the USA media handle it - there a lot of supporters of Semenya in America.
  13. Orangehair43
    The IAAF will not want a Namibia medal in the 200m. Semenya and the rest have been controversial enough and coming the day after the weightlifting it could lol get very toxic and bitter.,

    Probably the first final here where none of the contenders made a massive error which was great to see.
  16. Orangehair43
    While her score was better than her previous routines here the BBC over rated Jessica Gadirova by saying it looked like she would have a strong chance of making the podium after her performance

    Very few flights go over Belarus airspace anymore. Can’t see Belarus pulling the kidnapping from a plane trick in Russia’s airspace - Putin won’t want Russian airspace put on an international embargo list just to help his less important ally.

    I’m not sure it’s because of that - but there will simply be more countries that only have athletes of one gender left in the village by Sunday. Everyone who finished competing before Saturday will presumably be gone. Maybe in 2024 they should have two flags per country - representing the new tradition of having two Olympic cauldrons.
  20. Orangehair43
    Over a week in and fingers crossed but there has been no major outbreaks in the village or outbreaks linked to competition. Let’s hope this continues.

    No one from China is on any roster

    Matt Lawton of the Times is skeptical as if Jacobs is clean due to his fairly sudden improvement. Not sure if I share his suspicions but you can never properly trust anyone in Athletics anymore.
  24. Orangehair43
    What happens if they is a tie during the other field events or even in the multi events. Shared medals automatically?
  25. Orangehair43
    I didn’t realise Rylov and Kolensikov are both members of a ISL team. Considering that was founded in due to tensions surrounding FINA’s response to doping that surely if the top swimmers thought they were dodgy they would not let them in.
