Kiki Bertens has announced she'll call it a career after this year. Not surprising at all. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQLhurHnN1D/

Yep, too bad...one of the better tracks out there. There go the (small) championship chances.

There's no full timetable anywhere yet I think? Including all times I mean, the official Olympics website only has them sort of per session, but considering a 3-hour session has multiple finals, it'd be good to know the times per event. This is decent, but not ideal: At least World Athletics has their own detailed timetable online, which is much better than the one on the Olympics' website, but it seems as though a lot of federations don't

France gets lucky with only 6 minutes extra time, should have been at least 10..

Huh, Benzema played, apparently.

That was clearly offside.

Ugh, blow the whistle earlier

But but but but...what if we see a nipple (heavens forbid) on TV?! UEFA would explode!

Wow, completely missed that and I watched basically every second Like you said, it's insane how fast they always switch and hide those things, but we did get to look straight into what at that moment seemed to be a dying Eriksen's eyes.

Hummels, whoops

So basically an athlete who does not start, will be listed as did not start.

Brazilia instead of Brasilia, or is that another error?

NOP, Federico Rosa's gang and a whole bunch of others like that are shadier than a cave at night

Jeez, nandrolone. Edgar Davids already fell for that ages ago

So you're skipping the 50km in order to focus completely on the 20km?

That's a shame, I was really looking forward to watching epic Lopez again

Wait but when seeing Kayaalp, I should see Mijain Lopez, but one Oscar something is going for Cuba? No Lopez?

As with most of these sports I have no idea because I don't really follow them and don't even know most of the names From these lists I've heard of Kayaalp, Nabi, Beleniuk and Lorinz (and maybe some others but I see only first names, so no idea who they are) Weirdly it's one of the sports where I know the fewest amount of athletes, yet are the most interested in to watch, so I'm specifically waiting to see what our Iranian friend says about the chances

That is most excellent news. With some exceptions here and there, things do seem to generally go the right way in most places it seems, hopefully this time that's for real and we won't get winter 2020/21 again (which vaccines should probably prevent of course)

For those who know about this: why does it seem like at the Olympics there'll be some sort of qualifying consisting of a free and technical routine, whereas the final/deciding score seems to be a combination of a separate free routine but the qualification's technical routine? I see duet's do three routines in total, one technical and two free, but I'm not really clear on the format and system of how those routines are used to judge the event - I mean, if there's a qualification and a final and duet's have two different routines, surely they'd do both routines in both qualifying and final? What am I missing, apart from any knowledge about this sport

Berg, really?

I hope not for them, unless they brought the TV

Bus driver scores

Haha dumbo

Pretty impressive showing from Slovakia so far, and rather....poor from Poland
