  1. IAAF eventually removed heats for 10000 m. TV time and lack of imterest were the reasons. ITU now wants to have their own 30+ min long heats, semifinals... Oh the irony.
  2. One woman shows turn out to be pretty common for Winter sports these days? When one cools down (Shiffrin), there is already another ready to sweep the races.
  3. Shared Indecision on the Festival of Music. Here are a couple more good ones.
  4. Palma Čargo made a cheap mistake yesterday (thought a race got abandoned; protested but failed), so it will be an uphill battle from here on. Well, here we are. Historic, first Olympic sailing medals (incl. gold) from Rio will be followed by record low attendence at the following games. Only in Croatia.
  5. Again this oh so familiar narrative where excluding the whole Russian team is never an option. Too bad the Swedish skiing team is not getting the same treatment in the same country...
  6. Current frontrunner for Toronto 2021? Very timely title...
  7. Which sprints events will get dropped? One has to assume it will be either K4 or C2. K1 200 m is another option, but that would only unlock 24 places. 44 are needed (32 for 'extreme' + 12 ICF will lose). EDIT: I am forgetting a strong possibility of double starters in slalom events. K1 200 m now appears to be the most likely option.
  8. It would make more sense to have 'extreme' sprint canoeing. But then again. We already have a sport for racing boats. It's called sailing.
  9. Very impressive for a discipline where any overtaking after the first five meters is virtually impossible.
  10. Talk about desperate times. In two weeks, Trnava will host Croatian race walking championships. 20,000 m and 50,000 m on track! That's 50/125 laps! Rankings qualification will restart on Dec 1st. We have a decent chance for our first ever Olympic race walker. @hckosice
  11. Denisev/Antonov tested positive, so no Igls for them. Apparently they are the reigning sprint champions. https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1101175/antonov-luge-coronavirus-positive-test
  12. Yeah... Another sailing disappointment coming up for us.
  13. More nonsense from FEI. Starting from next season, the Short Grand Prix will be used for Dressage World Cup. With an aim "to maintain a pacey and interesting competition" and achieve more "air time on television". Surely the TV networks are already putting up their bids! Basically, it's just another move supported by the British equestrian mafia. They are the only ones who created and 'tested' this format, and voila, suddenly it's official for everyone.
  14. If that were true, then we all must absolutely despise Leon Somov & Jazzu.
  15. Watching the replay of speed finals. Surprised nobody is complaining about left course winning all the time. Yet.
  16. Accusing Wikipedia of all places for witch hunt is arguably the new all-time low for Trump.
  17. I don't get it. It happened again today. She gained 0.46 early, and then lost 1.5 seconds on the step part...
