And here are generic interpretations of the generic motto.

bestmen is still not back.

We will all laugh at that one once the Winter Olympics cease to exist.

Meanwhile, Obratov made her exposé on Kazakhstani team during the relay commentary. Because of course.

Russia getting DQ'd from the relay is the worst possible thing that could have happened to those predictors who have followed the season.

Krol is like a sprinting version of Bergsma.

Why on earth did Roest waste his effort right there...? Not that he would have made the podium. He peaked in October.

Bronze for Stipanović in this case also means Olympic selection. His rival, Filip Jurišić, came close to creating a surprise, but eventually placed 10th. Meanwhile, Samoa and Papua New Guinea qualify one sailor each, based on their 115th and 123rd place finishes. PNG's sailor placed ahead of only one other competitor.

Whatever gave you that idea?

Still, it's very weird to have 1.04 separating 1st and 2nd, and 1.03 separating 2nd and 17th.

Dubreuil misses the silver by 0.03, and the podium by 0.02.

I am starting to wonder if this could all be an error. Live timing has been broken since the last heat of women's 3000 m ...

1:05.69 First under 1:06...

Ridiculous WR for Kulizhnikov...

Ugh, this just made my blood boil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martina_Sáblíková#Rio_2016_qualification_controversy "The UCI used an interpretation of the qualification rules where an athlete also has to qualify for the road race." No. UCI didn't use any interpretations. It was (and still is) clearly written that an athlete must qualify for road race in order to compete in time trial. Any child can understand that. I just hate when people blame everyone else for their own shortcomings (especially as idiotic as not reading the qualification system).

And she doesn't look tired at all.

Voronina casually improves her PB by 12 seconds. Not suspicious at all!

Pretty good time for Pechstein.

And to follow up on this - things are still not looking good. https://online.equipe.com/en/class_sections/486318 Farbrot & Red Rebel have talent, but no piaffe/passage. Others are essentially amateurs anyway. I guess the last Norwegian hope could be Germany-based professional Isabel Freese, but only if free Olympic quota attracts her attention. Meanwhile... Based on this, we can assume that FEI has informed nations of their individual quota places this week. We shall soon know if there are any reallocations.

Yeah, they are known to have massive product placement in the Fast & Furious franchise. I don't think having their name associated with deadly virus is very flattering.

Two crashes in a row. Not good for Sigulda.

I wouldn't really know. One of my friends described Corona as disgusting, and that's just about the closest I ever got to it.

Now I am mostly interested if she knows you.
