phelps

I know that TyC doesn't have rights for football...but the only working stream (at least for me) was broadcasting TNT's program (their logo was well visible)...

only 1 option out of 3 (of course the low quality pictures version)... and my security suite (Kaspersky) says the software to download for the high quality picture is not safe and blocks it (probably it's a false positive, but still, I'm going to trust my security suite)... p.s. of course the main TyC feed is only about football (there was Estudiantes vs Aldosivi)...

I don't know if they are broadcasting any event or not...but on satellite (unfortunately @ 47.5 degrees West, C band...totally outside my chance to view them ) there are 15 HDTV feeds going on at the same time, which should offer quite a comprehensive coverage... by the way, as I don't have much time to read too many pages on this thread back from today, do you have a list of streaming channels/websites broadcasting the Games? thank you in advance...

I think no (but it's a close race between her and Cynthia Woodhead, 1978 200m free champion...it's just a question of a few days, as Pilato was born on January 2005 and Woodhead in February 1964 and also the championships this year are around 1 month before than what happened in Berlin 41 years ago -when they started on August 20th)... however, at the Olympic Games, the Japanese Kyoko Iwasaki won the 200m breaststroke in Barcelona (1992) when she was only 14 years and 6 days young, so almost 6 months younger than Pilato and Woodhead... and also Krisztina Egerszegi was younger (14 years and 40 days) when she won the 200m backstroke in Seoul (1988)...

it's not a question of admitting something I don't believe in... Wellbrock and his coach can say whatever they want...but the truth is that surely Florian is in good shape right now...maybe the day of the 800m free heats he wasn't feeling well, but that was the exceptional situation within the overall great moment of his career, not viceversa (the 800m being the standard and the other 2 races some kind of miracles)... a bad day can always come, even when you're in top shape...but you can't make 2 "miracles" in a general status of bad shape...

naaaa...you don't win both the 10km open water race and the 1500m free in the pool if you're not in top shape... I'm sure he's at his best...the 800m free was just a mistake by him, he did underestimate the level of competition and didn't have a plan B once he was strugglig with the low pace in his heat...that's it... if he says anything different, he's just playing mind games looking at the future...

this is better for those teams, with this group composition, they're sure not to face each other in the quarterfinals, so they're safe in the top 5 (which is what they need to go to the olympic qualification tournament)... edit: if the groups are like those posted by @Dunadan they're more balanced, but also more risky for the supposed top 4/5 teams...

those who did play in the WBC 2017 can't be in the Olympic team, as they do not have full ISR citizenship... this new group is eligible to play also at WBSC level, as they've been given official ISR citizenship in time...

this hurts...it really hurts... only small consolation, the German is still well far away from WR time (and I'm sure Greg next year will be ready to swim below 14.30)...

decisive or not (obviously they expected to have ITA vs NED today afternoon), don't forget that they have sold a lot of tickets for a NED match at that time... I know it's not fair, but most times only explicit tv/media requests can change things even if it would be a lot more logical to do that in any case...and this is one of those cases...

p.s. tell that to IOC... are you aware of the fact that men's basketball tournament in Tokyo will play the Gold Medal match hours before the Bronze medal match?

he has a lot to do with that (and also the fact that Italy is showing those matches live on their main pay-tv -Sky Italia, who are behind the tv/streaming production of the entire event- plays its role)... the organizers had stated clearly before the tournament that NED would play always the last game any day under any circumstance...and I don't think they would change that if no word from the "high places" came to give them such kind of "advice"...

yeah, by lately we had quite a few tournaments held in the Netherlands (Baseball European Champs more than once, Baseball & Softball super-6 and more)... and all of them had poor tv/streaming coverage... I do really think they should not even take into consideration any bid from any Country if they can't have an established good quality media coverage...

Pilato! our wonder baby seems not to be bothered by any sort of pressure...she improved her PB/NR once again in the heats... and as expected, Wellbrock and Romanchuk are there, close to super-Greg (who said he's only used this morning's heat as a warm-up...I fear he not only wants to win the gold medal tomorrow, but also try to go for Sun's WR...and I'm not sure that would be a good and safe idea)... the poor performance over the 800m free by both is already only a bad memory...

by the way, today's decisive match between ITA and GBR has been rescheduled for 3 p.m. CET as the last match of the tournament (and not at noon CET, as previously determined by the organizers...sometimes it helps having the world federation's president being from 1 of the 2 Countries involved in the key matchup )... p.s. I discovered that the entire tv/streaming production is made by an Italian service (after explicit request by the WBSC president, Riccardo Fraccari)...if it was for the Dutch TV, no pictures from this tournament would have been available (so, why they always award this kind of tournaments to the Dutch federation?)...

in Fukushima... and, given the start times of the softball and football matches, they're also not at the same time (softball matches are at 9 a.m., noon and 3 p.m. local time; football doesn't start before 4.30 p.m. local time)... on day -2 (all 6 games)...on day -1 it's men's football (all 8 games)...

no, but nowadays I'm well beyond 100...

me, too...expecially when she poses in lingerie for some fashion magazine...

no, Camillo was a fan of chicken meat (not only that, but it was definitely on top of the ranking)... it's all connected with a joke in Italian language...with the way you could describe Camillo's way of walking (with soft footsteps), which in Italian is said "felpato" (from here, the sound like the name of "phelps"...shortened in "phelp" + the final "s" to make it sound more "global")... and since I'm the opposite of that, being quite a big man (wider than taller, of course), often described as an elephant in the crystal shop, someone in my family started calling me "phelps" to joke about a comparison between the cat's delicate moves and my impetuosity... that's how my nickname took shape...

I didn't know it's common name for pets also at your latitude... however, it's a nice name...so, that's why it's so popular...

the cat was not named Phelps...he was named Camillo (and unfortunately I have to use the past tense, as he's been killed a few years ago )...
