Chad Haga of all places wins the final time trial

4th in the Tour by one second 4th in the Giro by eight seconds Landa

Well that was disappointing from Roglic.

On the other hand, we're talking about those deleted posts now: +2

Tied 10th place with a number like 6402, cool

What a finish in the women's eights between Romania and Great Britain

Come on, why do the Dutch only win their golds with big margins instead of awesome finals?

Italy tried an attack in the lightweight double sculls, Germany said no way

Well that women's four was a rather dull affair Hopefully the men are more interesting now.

Never heard of korball

Right, time for the annual "What is street ball hockey again and how is it different?" question Enjoy

So world champs silver medal is somewhere last in the final, world champion isn't even in the A-final...what's this?

This single scull final

Wow, what a race in the men's double sculls

Not all the belts, Deontay Wilder still owns the WBC one. Not a very stupid rule in my opinion, actually rather easy to follow: you beat the champion, you get the title* Joshua had 4 belts, Ruiz beat him, so Ruiz took his belts. *apart from stuff like people giving up titles due to moving to other weights, or doping problems and so on

Former biathlete Herbert Cool (Eurosport commentator in the Netherlands) also works for Eurosport in the MotoGP world outside of the winter, as pit reporter since this season. In Mugello this weekend he suddenly heard someone yell "Herbie!!"....and was surprised to see Dorothea Wierer Both were basically equally surprised to see each other there

Wait what, Serbia just completely blew up? Or (according to the co-commentator) did they pass a line/break some rule or something?

Seemed to me Joshua sort of had it under control, until he knocked Ruiz down without knocking him out....Ruiz was pissed And from then on, basically unstoppable

Finals are starting now, live on worldrowing.com

Yeah I think the past months will turn out to be a valuable lesson for him for next year: don't try and be in top shape for all those small tours in the run-up to a Grand Tour, dominating in February or March or something isn't gonna help.

Wow, one would never expect Russia to do such a thing.

Yeah, if Roglic doesn't get some major bad luck or something, 3rd place should really not be a problem If Roglic actually has a really good day and Nibali doesn't, 2nd place is not even entirely impossible. Edit: I just notice now it's only 17km, yeah forget the potential 2nd place unless Nibali has some terrible luck

Whatever it may be, definitely a right call to give a penalty, that's the most important thing

The ball was pushed down with his arm. It may be dumb, it may be bad luck, fact is it severely influenced the situation and really the only possible option was a penalty. They'd definitely give a penalty if it was for example the 75th minute, there's zero reason to do anything different just because it was literally the first minute.
