    Yes, and in cycling sprints often one makes the jump (pushing the wheel ahead) too early, losing speed and the win
  2. heywoodu
    Like in sprints in cycling, where it's often considered important to time the finish in such a way that you cross the line first.

    I love finals where basically 7 out of the 8 have a more or less realistic medal chance beforehand and where it turns out to indeed be very open Excellent start of the evening!

    So many falls and so many non-falls are basically a regular slide on the rails

    What's with these women's scores being 1.x, 2.x or something instead of the 8's and 9's we saw yesterday?

    Hard to really compare with other Olympics, because I never remember exactly how I felt 5 years ago, but I do know I am definitely enjoying the Olympics so far (like any Olympics, really) Building up quite a decent lack of sleep already, compared to my usual hours I think I've already missed out on a total of nearly 10 hours so far, but that doesn't take away the fun (yet)

    Expecting gold? I see bookmakers had him in the large group of athletes around 10th-20th For what it's worth, of course

    I'm personally not worried about Paris yet, but there's starting to be some worrying lines when thinking of LA

    When going through the Olympic athletes profiles on the official websites, there is a rather large amount of very worrying hairlines among men even in their 20's

    Maso at the finish
  12. heywoodu
    Ah now that you mention it, I was still planning to watch some swimming heats including the one with Ledecky

    The way Blummenfelt looked is what sports is all about. Total exhaustion but still pulling out a 2km super sprint
  14. heywoodu
    Hungarian nearly fell right in Blummenfelt's golden vomit
  15. heywoodu
    Wow, this is fantastic, what a race
  16. heywoodu
    Let's go Blummenfelt!

    Medals decided, now it's a matter of who will win what (behind Yee's gold).
  18. heywoodu
    Yee is running incredibly impressive.

    Ugh, hearing the stadium speaker say one of the most annoying cliches in sport: "It's now all about who wants it the most!" No, it basically never is.

    Spain is having a bad day, but at least they're having a bad day together.
  21. heywoodu
    All three Spaniards in the third group, I assume they're better runners?
  22. heywoodu
    And of course which qualified for the mixed, but whose men didn't fulfill the national criteria and so they are only allowed to start in the mixed Ugh

    Mohamed Maso is the Dutch representation here He has fleed from Syria together with his brother and is living with a Dutch family nowadays. Not competing for EOR, but definitely a refugee.

    Finn Florijn and the women's head coach. It was a 'friendly request' (which one can read as 'you have to'). By the way, all the boat crews have been living entirely separate from each other already.
  25. heywoodu
    Oh, they're also banned from the warmup areas and such. So basically they're completely screwed over (this also goes for athletes who never tested positive at all), any medal would be a miracle from now on. That sucks, the team was looking stronger than it has done in a very, very, very long time..
