    No, this sounds really promising: "Let's organise a major event with many hundreds of athletes! Stadium? Check." The week before the event: "Oooooooh crap, we forgot there are no scheduled flights to our crappy airport with a runway in drastic need of repair." Luckily when charter aircraft are called up in a hurry and transfers are handled on a 'first-come-first-served' basis, there is absolutely no expectation for fights and stuff getting out of hand badly. Oh wait, that is exactly what everyone would see coming from a thousand miles away.

    Good job by Nigeria, they're already way ahead, I thought the organizational problems were scheduled to start tomorrow.

    Which is why simply posting a link to for example a website of the Polish federation would be helpful as well, there is indeed no need to copy-paste almost a hundred athletes here I think

    What's being said in the news here the past two days about this is that apparently it's quite popular among (cycling) tourists. And usually considered quite safe as well, although not as safe as Turkmenistan.

    Smaller teams have absolutely no effect on the race being more interesting. If anything, it shifts focus even more on controlling the race. Lose the headsets and add salary caps, fine. I don't see the reason to ban power meters, unless much more 'accepted' stuff like meters showing your speed or heart rate are banned as well (which would be odd, I think).

    I hate this so much, but it is so good

    Sean Newcomb had a no-hitter messed up yesterday for the Atlanta Braves against the LA Dodgers......with only one more out needed

    The full Dutch team has been announced: https://www.knhs.nl/nieuws/2018/nederlandse-paardensportteams-fei-wereldruiterspelen-bekend/

    What a match

    You see? This is exactly what happens when the world's best players pull that shit on the world's biggest stage (the World Cup). Thank you Neymar.

    A classics specialist turned mountain beast, someone with 0 weak days in 6 weeks of hardcore GC racing and the best Giro-Tour double since Marco Pantani (haha), someone with 5675th illnesses, a ski jumper and Nicholas Brody in the top-5. This was fun

    Time for the final

    +1 for Thomas standing on the podium with a Welsh flag, screw the flag

    Even here @Pablita wins Come on, someone with so much knowledge about so many sports should post in more sports threads, don't be shy

    Too bad the Lampaert/Oss tandem didn't make it, but even with most sprinters being out already it was quite a nice sprint

    I do think this is, generally speaking, not even remotely comparable with the barrage of 15/20+ margins in the water polo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Women's_Hockey_World_Cup#First_round

    Did we win?

    Netherlands and Germany, neighbours in silver arms

    In case anyone is interested, the Brazilian federation probably will have a live stream of today's competition again (like yesterday) If so, it should be on their Facebook page. Starting times (Brazilian times, +5 for CET):

    Pawel Fajdek? Honestly I don't follow the hammer throw so much to know if he's really that dominant.
  24. heywoodu
    Because that's exactly what this thread is about (the biggest gold medal favourites of the entire Olympics)
  25. heywoodu
    Relatively speaking, of course Talking about people or teams with like a 90+% chance to win the gold (like Katie Ledecky in the long distances, where basically the only thing that can stop her is if she gets sick or injured). Most events of course don't have anyone who has such a huge chance to win
