One of the best ever venues for speed skating at a multi-sports event and there's no video footage...that's unreal

Women's Water Polo LEN European Championship 2020
heywoodu replied to Totallympics's topic in Water Polo
Or is it just women's water polo? -
Everyone gets capital letters in the graphics except for this guy, that's just annoying
-
Oh they won't even qualify? In that case: gold in every discipline in which they qualify
-
I think it'll be closer to 12 gold medals
-
The Brits presented their new Olympic-year track bike. So, you know. RIP everyone else.
-
I'll get back to you in a few minutes, I'm gonna try and find the differences other than the placement of the logo
-
Too bad, I like them as much as I like ice hockey jerseys in general (which is not very much, but at least I like the design) Now I'm curious which ones they should have in your opinion.
-
What's wrong with the jerseys?
-
Just had a first view of the jump in the cross-country cross course....the two Brazilian girls were trying it....and both crashed pretty much simultaneously Luckily they managed to get up laughing about it, could have ended up worse: one of the ski's of the second faller nearly hit the first one straight in her face, but all's well that ends well
-
At least they managed to get bronze and I managed to get points for the easiest prediction contest question ever
-
Karnaukhov/Chirva were on a tear in their second run, but that ain't gonna be enough for their expected gold..
-
Slovaks are in 4th after run 1 @hckosice
-
Russians must have made a huge mistake, they went from leading at the last intermediate (but already down on speed) to being almost a second behind This competition is more interesting than it promised to be
-
Rinks/Liepins were way faster in the bottom part and cut their deficit in half in the second half of the track! The Russians should just make no mistake and they should take the lead by some margin..
-
I don't know, but I feel like the 1st run time of the German luge doubles might not be enough to hold off the Russian favourites...they only won a little bit of time on the Polish guys in the bottom.
-
1-2 for Germany in the women's luge, OMG
-
Luge live timing sucks monkeyballs in terms of making it easy to follow how someone is doing (for example, no time differences with the current leader are shown), but fine. At least it's something.
-
Merle Fräbel topping the luge after run one, much to nobody's surprise Diana Loginova and Jessica Degenhardt are battling for silver, girls behind them need to hope for huge mistakes.
-
By the way, this is all meant as constructive feedback, not as negative criticism or something, just to be clear.
-
You can save time and come across as more informed/into the sport by only mentioning the differences. The actual times only matter in sports like speed skating, swimming, athletics and so on, in biathlon, cross-country skiing, road cycling and whatnot they are useless In by now thousands of articles, I don't think I've mentioned them even once in sports where they are meaningless
-
They often have a weird mix of being really in-depth (with stuff like the interviews) and also having a general vibe of not really following a sport or knowing much about it (like even mentioning the points in the mass starts) I missed it, but are they the kind of people who say "Skier X won the slalom with a combined time of 1:20.65"? Dutch media often does that, even though the actual times in alpine skiing just are a complete waste of effort to mention, only the differences between athletes matter....
-
Oh wait, I thought you were writing the articles
-
Another small bit of feedback: It didn't Winning the final sprint earned him the gold medal. The points in mass start have quite literally no meaning at least in terms of the podium positions. It's about the positions in which they cross the finish line - one can win every single intermediate sprint, it's not enough to beat someone who wins the final sprint. I don't think I've ever seen any media report even mention the number of points of the winner and podium finishers, because it just really doesn't matter
-
This makes the whole thing even more confusing. I mean, people can confure Slovenia/Slovakia, but even if they did, that has nothing to do with one stage being cancelled....of which I can't find anything
