Sharapova (mostly the 2nd one) Please just don't even try to give excuses for it, nobody is gonna believe that all these tons of athletes who suddenly got busted for exactly the same drug use it for anything else than enhancing performance. Maria, good thing you announced it yourself like this, but shame on you for not just saying "I used doping and I cheated, the end" and coming up with excuses instead.

No because Tomasheva and Aregawi won't lose them
-
Maybe they thought "We might as well wait until Bulut is stripped of her medal just like Alptekin already is, so we can get it straight to Jamal" You know, a purely logistic matter
-
Alptekin is, isn't she? Or at least CAS already announced last year that will happen.. Bulut looks like she could lose it as well, Tomasheva and Aregawi won't. So gold for Jamal, silver for Tomasheva ( ) and bronze for Aregawi ( ).

Thanks! My inner calculator malfunctioned I think

I had to choose 6 1. Biathlon 2. Skeleton 3. Bobsleigh 4. Alpine skiing 5. Ski jumping 6. Luge At the bottom I would put freestyle skiing and freestyle snowboarding, the sports in which they don't really seem to care about winning or losing. I want winners to get crazy and losers to smash their poles out of frustration, not winners and losers dancing around a tree together. -
Like Eilers, that was just a monstrous keirin final
-
What a wonderful day and a race I'm gonna remember forever, Laura

LAURAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Come on Laura

Well that's definitely not going to happen Thanks!

So the Dutch athletes in the women's keirin and/or sprint will automatically come from the couple that is chosen for the team sprint? Supposing of course one of them won't do the omnium, because there's Kirsten Wild for that So basically, we have the maximum number of 8 male athletes for Rio and we'll have 3 women then (2 team sprint/sprint/keirin and 1 in omnium).

How does this work for the Olympics? We have 3 good sprinters/keirin riders/team sprinters: - Shanne Braspennincx (recovering) - Laurine van Riessen - Elis Ligtlee We qualified in the team sprint, does that mean theoretically all 3 could go to the Olympics? For example Van Riessen/Ligtlee in the team sprint and sprint and Ligtlee/Braspennincx in the keirin?

Yeah I pretty much agree with you I think Norway, Russia, Germany and France are the main contenders for the medals (somewhat in that order) and indeed Austria depends on Julian's shooting. Every other team in the top-5 is of course always possible, mistakes are made easily, but would be a surprise.
-
There are 3 events left and all three gold medals can of course be won by non-French Though unfortunately France will again be one of the favorites in the men's relay..
-
Great race for Fak by the way, at least there's that

Fourcade

Yes, it would take too much time. Now they are just announcing a half one by one, and then "oh, yeah, let's do all the rest right now instead". It's like TV would broadcast the entire first 20km of a marathon and then compress the second half in a 30 seconds highlight video.
-
Then they should announce the professional votes one after another and then the public votes one after another. If all votes count the same, it's just bullshit to announce 50% of the votes in a one hour show (or longer) and announce the second 50% all at once. That just doesn't make sense. What's wrong with having professional and public votes count the same, but putting them together per country and announcing them as one big vote?
-
Ah, I thought it was spoilers
-
No. I don't know exactly where it was anymore, but I think in the table tennis thread.
-
So we'll have to beat Sweden by 4 and hope Switzerland can contain Norway. Easy
-
What's the tie breaker? Goal difference?
-
But it's annoying...watching for a whole long time to see vote after vote being published...and then in the end, BOOOM, all "public votes" at once messing up the entire standings. Either do it the old way, or announce all "professional" votes at once and then all "public" votes at once. Obviously they won't do it because one and a half hour of useless watching is still a lot of commercial income or something I guess.

Sometimes I think Sindo is German, because of his use of capital letters for regular words like "post" or "user"
