  1. I would wish you a happy birthday @Olympian1010, but I saw some olives sneaked their way onto your breakfast. So, you know, R.I.P. mate.
  2. This annoys me. I'm doing WADA's online ADeL ALPHA course (about doping) and there's some characters in there to set the stories and so on. Now there's this one. "Downhill skier", ugh. It's alpine skiing or freestyle skiing (or any other form of skiing), downhill is only an event within alpine sk....oh wait, MOGULS?! Oh come on.
  3. Ah, like most of the Nobel Literature Prize winners I've never heard of the person Well congratulations to the author (and his family and friends).
  4. Who is that and what did I miss?
  5. Wait what Don't play jokes on me here man, I'm barely able to keep up with the dates these weeks
  6. I'm hoping I can vote in time. There's a lot of songs to listen and during my stay in Brazil I'm noticing I really don't have a lot of time for such things. Which is of course a good sign in itself, but not so much for my voting chances. Let's see.
  7. I'm not a fan of it, agreed, but it is the rule. People looking at replays to point out something means even less.
  8. But it kinda did. This seems like an excellent change though, making it at least look much more fair.
  9. He wasn't in bad shape right before the world champs neither Well, he won the Vuelta, wasn't great at the world champs and now is winning some relatively minor races after he dominated the first part of the season. I think his season is already more than good
  10. Then they'd get yellow cards. Much like the warnings and eventual DQ's in race walking where, again, it's about the naked eye, not about whatever some slow motion camera shows.
  11. Slow motion cameras are all fun and well, they have nothing to do with race walking. It's about the naked eye.
  12. Besides, there is not a single medicine to save race walking, but every bit helps.
  13. Until they adjust and increase the speeds. It wouldn't make it perfect, but it would take a (not every) human element out of the judging and that's good.
  14. Always against Italy! Chips showing nobody is walking regularly is not a problem: like Evan Dunfee said earlier, if the rules change, the walkers simply change with them. People who have no idea about race walking (most people that is ) always say walkers are cheating, but that's just not true. Unless of course every foul in football is cheating as well, for example.
  15. I wonder if they had as good a coverage of judges Plus, sure those chips might be getting closer (as long as they're not making entering the sport more expensive), for now they're not there yet.
  16. The walking route is as boring everywhere basically.
  17. McLaughlin's run by the way, wow. 48.7
  18. Jesus Mihambo :lol: East German times revived :bowdown:
  19. Wow, that 10k! Ok and that's the first final of today I've seen, off to the evening program of the day and then I'll watch the rest
  20. Dutch women's coach Jamie Morrison has been kicked out, there might be a chance now.
  21. Hassan after her insane 1500m: "I was angry, I'm a clean athlete and I wanted to show the world what clean means and how far you can get with hard work." Yeah that didn't work so well if you go on and run Chinese turtle soup times
