    And that's why it's never nice when someone is so dominant....wins always become 'normal' and anything else is disappointing, leading to no result ever being 'nice' anymore
  2. heywoodu
    Well yeah, with that spirit
  3. heywoodu
    Conditions really weren't that great for track records yesterday though, he had a more than excellent race.
  4. heywoodu
    Definitely has a chance, but the 5k has quite a few riders with a decent chance. I'd say Eitrem is the favourite and as for the Dutch, it depends on whether eternal question mark Roest is injury-free and whether or not Huizinga finally is able to at least for once transport his incredible Heerenveen performances to any track outside of Heerenveen.

    In the end none of these senior citizens like Coe or Samaranch or whoever are going to make an actual difference, we need someone who is young, hip and in touch with urban culture

    That he is a nice surprise of the past weeks. But also not on the level of Jilek yet in terms of expectations They also said it's nice to have two young people to challenge Ghiotto for next year, that may take him down a little tiny bit from his like 90% gold medal favourite position
  7. heywoodu
    According to our commentator that is how he already calls himself at least.
  8. heywoodu
    Although to be fair, one might wonder if that is entirely on Bach, considering he was in office for barely a year by the time Oslo dropped out (and so one might assume those demands were already known before Bach even took office).
  9. heywoodu
    But yeah, this was fun. Too bad we got a safety car at the end when the rain restarted, because the immense chaos right after both McLaren's went off for a bit was just hilarious
  10. heywoodu
    So did Hadjar and Doohan...kind of
  11. heywoodu
    Just out of curiousity and besides personal preferences for this or that sport or event: what exactly, concretely, did Bach do that 'almost destroyed the Olympics'?
  12. heywoodu
    I have only heard Poland went to the judges about it.
  13. heywoodu
    Ghiotto did the same as Eitrem, but way more often (just not destroying the timing thing, but it's not like what you did is worse if you hit the timing thing). They should either both be DQ'ed or both not be DQ'ed, personally I am definitely in favour of both not being DQ'ed (as is the case).
  14. heywoodu
    Ah it wasn't that specific moment, just in general he often crossed the line on the straight and that was the issue. Definitely needs to avoid doing so at the Olympics, although one might kind of expect he wouldn't be DQ'ed especially there if he isn't DQ'ed here
  15. heywoodu
    I can't recall that moment, but it might be. Doesn't seem like it's really going anywhere though, so that's good
  16. heywoodu
    Ghiotto is being looked at by the judges, uh oh. Edit: Polish team has started a protest against Ghiotto for crossing the line.
  17. heywoodu
    Probably not, considering she didn't prepare for the 5k at all after her disappointing result at the Dutch championships
  18. heywoodu
    The way he prepares the sprint makes me genuinely surprised Hoolwerf has the mental capacity to tie his shoe laces
  19. heywoodu
    Oh wow, that was total collapse by Wiklund
  20. heywoodu
    What the actual fuck, Joep Wennemars is the 1000m world champion Also really cool to see the images of him jumping in the arms of coach Jac Orie, who also coached his dad Erben Wennemars to a world title. Erben, who for years already is present as expert for the NOS so obviously he was here as well and he was even way more emotional
  21. heywoodu
    I don't really know, my favourite in the longer distances is Conijn because she's always the most enthusiastic and excited one (and she seems nice, her first reaction to hearing she beat Wiklund for bronze by 0,01 seconds was "aw that's a bummer for Ragne" in a way that definitely sounded like she meant it)
  22. heywoodu
    Be lucky you probably don't get to watch the Dutch championships, it was significantly worse there than it has been here so far
  23. heywoodu
    Finally! That was definitely something we saw coming this entire season, question was if he'd do it at a World Cup or when it really mattered and turns out it was the latter, perfect timing, even after a false start
  24. heywoodu
    Anyhow, great fight in the women's 3k, that was tight! Super happy with bronze for Conijn, although she was kind of bummed out for Wiklund missing out on it by 0.01 seconds And Eitrem vs Snellink in the 5k was fantastic
  25. heywoodu
    Did they get one of them generic English Eurosport commentators? "Now they're rrrrreally pushing!"
