Looked it up for the Netherlands. Individual medals are rewarded with 30.000, 22.500 and 15.000 euro (gold, silver, bronze). What one gets in a team sport is somewhat complicated: the individual rewarded multiplied by the square root of the number of athletes in the team and all that divided by the number of athletes. However, there's a guaranteed 11.000, 8.000 or 5.000 euro, to avoid punishing big teams (field hockey). Also, prize money for medals can not be stacked. For example Femke Bol only gets money for her individual bronze medal, because that 15.000 euro is more than the reward for the gold in the mixed relay (13.416). Harrie Lavreysen won three gold medals, two of which individually, but gets only the one 30.000 euro. I mean, it's not nothing, but seeing all those countries throw almost literal tons at athletes.... Personally I am somewhat in favour of the 'you cant stack medals' by the way. Otherwise athletes in sports where one can simply only win 1 medal (sailing, for example) would be at a rather unfair disadvantage against athletes in traditional multi-medal sports like swimming, track cycling and to some extent athletics.

Some people, yes. Most casual viewers only watch the Tour anyway and especially in recent years a lot of fans have enjoyed the Tour more than the other two. Vuelta and Giro used to be better though, yes. Vuelta wasn't helped with a billion stages with the same profile: __________/

Men's super sprint final is underway and they've managed to make the Eurovisionsports website even worse Now when watching in full-screen, the time bar at the bottom doesn't go away, fantastic new feature

I noticed Martin Fuksa in today's results, so at least one big name is there Also, someone just got disqualified in one of the women's heats, but since no rule is mentioned as one sees in athletics or biathlon or something: why? Race 21 - C1 W 500 - Heat 3 (imas-sport.com)

This was truly hilarious, BORA went all-in on Lipowitz, who couldn't follow O'Connor, but then they simply kept bluffing and the other teams just ignored it, giving O'Connor more and more and more space Debrief at BORA must have been absolutely fuming at their massive blunder, that could well cost Roglic the win. Almost five minutes on a semi-established GC rider, good luck

Athletics - Women's 800m - Dutch commentary

David Elias won the junior men's super sprint, only one miss. Silver for speedy Matija Legovic and bronze went to Victor Berglund. Sivert Gerhardsen was going to win this thing, but missed three in the last shooting round and ended up 0,2 seconds behind the bronze. https://ibu.blob.core.windows.net/docs/2425/SB/SWRL/CH__/JMSF/C73E_v1.pdf As for the junior women, gold for Bulgaria's Lora Hristova and her lone miss. Dominant win, 25 seconds ahead of Inka Hamalainen, who beat out Ragne Fodstad. https://ibu.blob.core.windows.net/docs/2425/SB/SWRL/CH__/JWSF/C73E_v1.pdf Senior men's qualifying heats are underway now, with Jesper Nelin so far definitely being the biggest name who'll miss out on the final.

Dear Lord, I'm always surprised how massive the prize money is in countries outside of my own Of course a country like Guatemala doesn't have to divide it between that many athletes, but still. Awesome.

Maybe @Vic Liu has any idea?

Yeah but this link was there on day 1 already, excellent. However, they just didn't change it and so day 2 is nowhere to be found

That's about the 132th time Chopra gets to around 89.50m but under 90.00m.

Impressive race by Tebogo once again, damn.

It's amazing how even in such a massively underwhelming event, he still pulls out a 6th round winning jump

And Arop not far behind, might have been the fastest 810m in history.

Someone like Naser makes one wonder what World Athletics could do against countries like Nigeria indeed. Although anyway I'm not sure she's the greatest example: in her early teens she and her family already moved to Bahrain, where her dad was born. Probably almost any other Bahraini athlete would be a better example (and there too a good look should be had at their countries of origin)

Any idea how to rewatch today's afternoon session? UCI just points to this thing, but that's only from yesterday and even with Google Translate it's nearly impossible to navigate this 'website'.

Meaning the following events: World U20 2024 World indoors 2025 World Relays 2025

Aaaaah it's two Adamovs, indeed! Seriously, I thought I was getting mad here, thanks for being a lot sharper than I was Now I think it is safe to assume it's the top-6 of every heat plus the 6 fastest non-qualifiers.

Anyone care to think with me here? I'm lost as to how the supersprint qualifying works. Junior men have finished, it consisted of four heats. A total of 30 athletes qualified for the final, the start list of which can be found here: C51D2_v1.pdf (ibu.blob.core.windows.net) Since it's very unclear exactly who qualified (not the 30 fastest overall and also not the top-X per heat), I looked at exactly who is on the start list out of which heat. Here we have heat 1's result, top-9 is in the start list for the final: C73E_v1.pdf (ibu.blob.core.windows.net) Heat 2, top-8 is on the final's start list: C73E_v1.pdf (ibu.blob.core.windows.net) Heat 3, top-8 as well: C73E_v1.pdf (ibu.blob.core.windows.net) And finally heat 4, the top-6 of which is on the start list for the final: C73E_v1.pdf (ibu.blob.core.windows.net) Now, besides the question of how one qualifies, another question has been raised: there are 30 athletes on the final start list, bibs 1 through 30. However, 9 + 8 + 8 + 6 is.....31? But I checked every single one of these athletes, all 31 are on the start list, but the start list contains only 30 names. What black magic is this?!

Important distinction indeed: he's definitely not retiring from boxing, but going to focus on the big version of the sport now.

Where would one go about watching this? Only FIVB's own pay channel? Edit: apparently Viaplay has the rights here. We have that Although I see there's almost literally under 10 people in the stands...quite a different feeling than the beach volleyball of last week and the weeks before

So far not much has happened, other than a few moments like Lennert van Eetvelt handing a stage win to Primoz Roglic by celebrating too early, classic. Today should be a fun stage: And if you look at that start location, people from certain countries might think "Carrefour, isn't that a supermarket?". And yes, you're right! We're not starting close to a supermarket, we're starting inside said supermarket! Riders will be navigating the milk cartons and toilet paper rolls before heading out into Jerez de la Frontera and on their merry way.

Like with so many sports, they have the rights and then end up using those rights for like a 3 minute segment in the sports news, because of which all other options to actually watch live are geo-blocked....

First I thought this was gonna be a 'omg pro players use serious equipment, wtf' kind of thing, but it definitely took a turn for the better

Yep, in the case of for example Kenyans going to Bahrain, the problem is definitely for a very large part with Kenya. Not just in terms of it's competitiveness of course, but also plenty of stories of athletes being very much mistreated.
