  1. 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
  2. https://twitter.com/muradahmed/status/1422055493141364739
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 'Lilly King implies Russians ‘should not be here’ in Tokyo because of doping' https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/aug/01/lilly-king-apparent-doping-comments-russians-roc-swimming
  7. No one from China is on any roster
  8. 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.
  9. What happens if they is a tie during the other field events or even in the multi events. Shared medals automatically?
  10. 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.
  11. GB really have a coaching problem. Must be topping the false start league tables. A lot of pressure will be on the relay squads next week to push enough medals to not kill off all the upcoming athletes funding. Italy Gold - WTF.
  12. She twice tested positive so not likely to be clean.
  13. Horse racing and FEI are separate sports. Unlikely an incident in that would affect the IOC.
  14. Yeah - the men’s 1000m was nothing special in terms of times.
  15. Is it the track or the shoes. I think the later.
  16. A Chinese winner would be interesting. Can’t see NBC not suggesting he is doping.
  17. Why do they do the finals by draw rather than going in qualification order from 8th to 1st which would mean the last one up would be in theory the favourite.
  18. The poor worldwide ratings for the Games will make getting bidders for 2036 and onwards even harder - it will have a long term impact on the games.
  19. Through that didn’t seem to affect or that much..
  20. Sad news. When was the last equine fatality at the Olympics before this ? I don’t remember one at 2012 or 2016.
  21. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/olympic-doping-row-a-new-cold-war-with-russia-960v6mjs5
  22. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/olympics/article-9848019/Jurgen-Grobler-forced-younger-members-squad-consulted-methods.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/olympics/article-9848015/Row-ing-continues-Team-GB-mens-eight-bronze-medallist-appears-leave-team-mate-photo.html
  23. Cross-country was where all GB eventing medal hopes collapsed in 2016 so it’s good to see a great performance today.
