Dumoulin, Dennis and Van Aert within 2 seconds from each other at halfway, with only Ganna to get there and Roglic 8 seconds in front of them. What a time trial so far!
With 'bout' I meant the thing of which they have 9, with fencers replacing each other all the time. Do the next fencers come in every time one fencer got 5 points or something then?
When is a bout in the sabre fencing over? Like in epee yesterday, it was 9 bouts of 3 minutes in the team event, here it's 9 bouts with no time being shown, so when does a bout end?
Excellent first day in the trap qualifying for , where both Gian Marco Berti and Alessandra Perilli are well in a qualifying position with one series to go tomorrow!
Never been a fan of him at all actually, it's mostly a play on the absolutely insane hype around him in Belgian media since forever

Perfect example of this commentator never watching cycling, otherwise he'd know Amanuel is just not much of a time trial rider (like so many pro riders), but he is a solid World Tour rider with climbing skills which are in the upper half of the pro peloton.

In 2000 the winner was 30, after that always 34+
Van Vleuten backstage: "I really need a bra", followed by her visibly picking a bra from her bag.
Dutch commentator: "Van Vleuten quickly grabbing a facemask."
Ergo, the Dutch commentator doesn't recognize a bra, that's a little painful
