The streams can only be seen live, by the way? Trying to click on that website but nothing works, like a simple on-demand view isn't possible..

And before that, I believe they used the xxx.sportresult.com system, which every single multi-sport event ever should use (or the MicroPlus system like the Universiade, that one worked like a charm as well) To be fair though, if FIS and IBU have the live timing running in their usual way, that is absolutely a million times better than any multi-sports event can ever have, few things around multi-sport events are more annoying than spending the first days getting used to the results system when the IF has a perfectly fine one already

UCI accepting this idiotic last kilometer in San Juan You've got a super straightforward strage, basically going straight ahead for 140km, and then in the last kilometer - when the peloton is in full sprint mode - all of a sudden there's a split in the road which wasn't fenced off, so they still had to choose a left or right

"The top-4 teams will battle it out for the podium places, the rest fights for the minor places." While showing both Norway teams being half a minute behind in qualifying after very obviously having taken it very easy there.

Oi Generic British Eurosport commentator: Eduarda Ribera lives around 1000km from Brasilia, not in Brasilia

Anyway this women's qualifying is nothing but a warmup for the top countries (so everyone outside of Brazil today), since everyone goes to the final anyway

I think this turns the qualifying into a soulless event, which just isn't really interesting to watch, whereas the semis used to be fun to watch. The one time FIS doesn't go for making things more 'fun' to watch, they mess up an event They could perfectly well make the semis have the same basic format as the final, but with 2 laps per athlete (or even 1), while still keeping it a head-to-head race. Usually there's plenty of 'fastest non-automatic qualifier times' anyway to not really make it an unfair division in the team sprint.

Different kind of team sprint qualifying today, and it does not sound fun at all: every athlete will simply do the lap of yesterday's individual sprint, and the times of the two athletes are added together to form the ranking. No exchanges, no multiple laps, no head-to-head fights, nothing to make it a team sprint other than adding some times. Apparently all 14 teams in the women's event will be going to the final, which means a final spot for Brazil

I'm sure it's been posted before, but I'm a day behind and so avoiding spoilers But yeah, this France finishing dead-last, then getting the PEN because of a wrong exchange...only to protest that, because they said THEY were actually the only ones with a correct exchange...and they were absolutely right

Fairly annoyed with that generic British Eurosport commentator going "Gabriela Neres, living at 1200m altitude in Brasilia, but it hasn't helped her, because she is way, way off the mark" Come on dude, give 'em a break, don't expect the Brazilians to have Swedish pace.

Gabi Neres will make her World Cup debut in an hour or so Eduarda Ribera will debut as well, right behind Gabi, whereas Victor Martins has done it before.

Well that is a fun bit of news Now take their 1995/96 Champions League title with the least secretly doped team ever

Catching up with last night's shorttrack...those default yellow helmets, that's nice old school, love it

Well that is fantastic, I have no problem waiting a bit to see these things, same day is perfect

That explains why I had never heard of her, since I barely follow the NHL or the big world championships, let alone the junior ones But to be fair, how likely would you be reading a thread about the U18 cyclo-cross championships? I'll be watching that video tonight

For Ettifaq vs Al-Fateh of course, obviously PS: Those top two on the left, is that their trademark 'goal celebration' that their PR agency came up with like with all those 'stars' nowadays? Nowadays you always know a goal is not very important when the player does their PR-thingy afterwards, whereas the actually important goals are celebrated with real emotion and cheering and running and jumping

Somehow this sounded sarcastic, so just to be sure I googled her name....damn That is one talented lady

@phelps You probably know this: the Norwegian championship races in Vind today, which are shown on NRK, are probably not possible to be viewed from outside of Norway, correct? For Swedish TV, setting the VPN to Sweden works, but for NRK, setting VPN to Norway only results in a message stating you can't use a VPN, and without the VPN, you need to log in with proof of residency in Norway Any workaround?

Speed skater finishes 0,01 second behind the fastest time: "Not quite good enough" Speed skater finishes several seconds behind the fastest time: "Just shy of the gold medal position" Ah, the generic English commentators with zero experience with the sports they're commentating on I can't count the amount of times I've heard "and he/she is now rrrrreally pushing hard!" in the final lap (as if they're not pushing hard earlier) or "It's starting to look like he/she is in a little bit of pain now!" in the last meters. Those commentators really win every single gold medal in the kicking-in-an-open-door-competition They're also unbelievably bad in reading lap times 1500m, rider goes from 27.0 to 28.3 or so the next lap, being 3 seconds under the currently fastest time, whose rider had a 30.x final lap. Meaning the rider would have to totally collapse from 28.3 to 33-34 seconds within a lap, which just isn't happening at all, but still, the commentator goes all "will he be able to set the fastest time!?" when he literally has 5 seconds left for the last 10 meters

Checking the start lists for the shorttrack, which starts today, and I am positively surprised: there are quite some decent and well-known names in the field, from Anna Seidel to Furkan Akar and Quentin Fercocq, that's gonna be fun

Meanwhile I've heard Brazil may have a woman in the sprint in Livigno (and possibly the team sprint), so there's a little fun fact for the weekend ahead

Yesterday, it was exactly one year after Bruna officially qualified for the Olympics with the last race in the qualifying period: And yesterday, exactly one year later, she got the green light from the doctor to compete in next month's world championships Doctor just needs to send the letter, which should be today, and she's good to go! #roadtocortina2026

Somehow the speed skating 1000m's weren't on the original schedule for Sunday, so I'm catching up with them now, and damn. I am absolutely in love with the speed skating venue One of the best venues I have seen at any multi-sports event in a long time (probably since the 2017 Universiade with the speed skating at the legendary Medeo track!).

The rules in the first post should make it clear enough But in short: Monzanator got the previous answer correct (more or less, in this case), and so he can post a new record. He posted '382', and it's now up to us what this record is. It could be the number of shots on goal in an ice hockey match, it could be most consecutive wins for a tennis player, other times it's a world record in athletes, it can be anything

To be fair, those American sports/competitions (MLB/NBA/NFL/NHL) are absolutely known for all those nonsense 'records' and stats being used as graphics and even discusses seriously
