58.00 for Kathleen Baker in the 100m backstroke, breaking Kylie Masse's WR by 0,10 seconds.

Aaaaaaand gone is her world record

But I think you slightly misunderstood the question The 'goal' is to discuss about the athletes (or teams) with the biggest chance to win a certain event. I mean, sure Barshim and Samba and Manyonga have real chances to win gold, but they're not athletes in an event where one could say 'He basically can't lose!' (Samba can trip over a hurdle, high jump and long jump are rather sensitive for foul jumps). Different than for example a rowing event where a certain boat is absolutely dominant, it's not like it's realistic for this boat to suddenly sink in the Olympic final

First Brazilian female speed skater ever, here we go Larissa Paes, out of Brasilia (which used to have several quite decent inline skating teams), made her debut in Heerenveen (the Netherlands) earlier this month, racing a 500m and a 1500m and of course setting national records in both

Quite interesting developments in the world of Brazilian cross-country skiing, mostly the women. The second stage of the Brazilian rollerski circuit is being held these days in São Carlos, results can be found here: https://data.fis-ski.com/dynamic/event-details.html?event_id=42839&cal_suchsector=CC Mostly look at the women's results and specifically those of Taynara da Silva and Amanda Lima, both only 16 years of age and having maybe a little over a year of rollerski training. Last year in a 7.5km classic race they lost 17 and 25 minutes on Bruna, Friday in a 5km classic race they both lost less than 4 minutes (and I can guarantee Bruna was definitely not holding back). Also in the freestyle sprint they've gotten a lot closer and besides them, there are also some U19 races with several other girls from 2002-2004 (and even one from 2007!). A bit over a year ago Bruna and Gabi were the only Brazilian female athletes born after 1990, now suddenly there's a whole new generation of teenage girls getting started in the sport and that is just really, really good to see

Damn!

Aaaaaand we're back, again I hope you're getting your money back Sindo, because whoever is hosting this.....it's not good.

Ora funziona bene

"Reply to this topic", "Notify me of replies" etc is all in English, but stuff like "Quote" or "xx minutes ago, user X wrote:" is all in Italian This is confusing

Anyone else having all this Italian stuff suddenly?

Timing fail

So its Thomas who wins, Dumoulin in second and Froome third. All not too surprising today.

Thomas brought his Honda Fireblade to the home trial.

The thread name says it all, really .

Alaphilippe, Barguil, Chavanel, Gaudin, D Martin, Sagan, Valverde and Craddock have been nominated for the 'super-combativity' award.

Which South Korean and in which event specifically?

Or maybe there's just a high amount of Benelux people on that forum

I do not joke about which coins I have or have not seen.

Basque country Can't wait to spot the Euskaltel jerseys everywhere Riders start in a place to play pelota, so it's as Basque as one can get today

By being human? I've never seen them neither

Finally! Congratulations to the Dutch team
