  1. Medal for Brown Unless Reusser does something amazing.
  2. Grace Brown is well on course for silver so far
  3. They do sometimes hire co-commentators who are actually involved in the sport, that helps. The OBS commentators themselves though are usually full with cliches like "and now he really has to push through the pain!" or "now it's all about who can get there the fastest!".
  4. Van Vleuten destroying Neben's time at the split. Then again, it really should be between her, vdBreggen and Dygert. And if Dygert has fully recovered, it really should be for silver between Van Vleuten and vdBreggen.
  5. Not so much the case in cycling because of a lack of a real world ranking, but in every single sport with some sort of a world ranking, they are entirely fixated on that in determining who are the favourites. Like, 100%. With so many of them, you can just sense every single time that they're commentating on sports they really don't ever watch outside of the Olympics.
  6. Amialiusik has six (!) national titles, even bigger favourite.
  7. Moolman-Pasio has five national titles as well, might be a red-hot favourite!
  8. This is one of the sports where I'm so happy we have our own regular commentators who commentate on the sport all year long
  9. Time for the women's time trial. Interestingly, Kiesenhofer had been preparing for a while for this time trial (and not at all the road race), but didn't know Austria had a road race quota....and not a time trial one, so she did the road race Didn't go bad at all.
  10. The Sinkovec brothers aren't as good as they were anymore or what?
  11. Too bad the Australian idiot coach with his yelling and screaming at other athletes in the facilities gets gifted a medal here (although nice for their athletes, of course).
  12. Without going into details about other sports (don't want to spoil non-rowing things in the rowing thread, obviously), I somehow feel like every Olympics almost every country feels like it's going awful
  13. Luckily they didn't hit the Italian boat..
  14. I'm assuming there is some sort of exception for COVID cases. Whether or not that's right is a whole different discussion
  15. That won't be rescheduled because of one positive test in one boat Even if the whole team tested positive it wouldn't be rescheduled, they'd simply be out. Plus, he is replaced.
  16. Behind four boats who were expected to do better than China though..
  17. In Rio the Netherlands had three rowing medals. Now they have three medals after three finals
  18. Too bad, but this is exactly the kind of final which makes it exciting
