Mixed day for our 49ers, with some excellent highlights (Fantela brothers achieving our second race victory in Aarhus...). Lasers are back on track after a poor day, while RS:Xs were quite decent. We will not take more than 3 Olympic quotas here, but I am quite confident we'll qualify in 7/10 classes by the end.

Well yeah, we're expecting 5:1 for Ireland here. Bronze for Spain, so much for unbalanced draw theory.

And yet she acts all surprised.

So you must be here somewhere?

Then there are also cases in other sports. Gymnastics, equestrian, etc, all have restrictions in later rounds when it comes to the number of athletes per nation that could advance.

This is only a special case for Europeans... It works just fine if you think of it as national selection.

defeated Dutch once again wasted an early lead...

I just did.

I don't think so, they played well. Though I don't remember how it ended.

I had a bean salad, so perhaps that's your explanation.

Duncan Scott wins last heat of 200m IM - doesn't qualify for semifinals. Swim-off between to come...

I had a dream tonight that Ireland was leading Netherlands 5:1 at the end of Q3.

Streaming quality seems to be getting worse on each day. Unbelieveable.

Any update on records, @heywoodu?

And yet some actually think it's going to be an easy final.

Eurosport commentator couldn't stop hyperventilating over him, so I have to agree...

Chloe Dygert says "Meh".

Well, at Olympics it's 100%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycling_at_the_2012_Summer_Olympics_–_Men's_Omnium#Elimination_race https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycling_at_the_2016_Summer_Olympics_–_Men's_Omnium#Elimination_race Also at many Worlds, Europeans, etc...

What's so exciting about elimination race? If you look a bit closer, it's almost always (khm... Viviani) vs in the final two... I'm not even joking, check the previous results.

Yeah, but it's San Marino that was robbed, so nobody will think twice, sadly...

Blašković, wow!!!

Good day for our Finns and 49er. Decent for 49er FX. But Lasers were absolutely disasterous.
