The UEC live timing is indeed quite awful, but at least we will enjoy some TV coverage ... First time seeing a 3-woman team sprint (barring the recent U23 Euro Champ with an oversized track)

They did it in Wellington twice in front of more than 40k

Interestingly, Loana Lecomte was quite a bit faster than PFP, 1:12:43 vs 1:13:24, so maybe we could have had a tighter match in the elite race if she decided to take part (and a tighter U23 one as a consequence)

Il famoso fresh air Shameful is a very judgmental word, we're not bound to take the measures you think we'd have to take ; and nope, yet again, we do have mandatory rules to wear masks in most of the cities (which I personally find stupid, as if wearing a mask in an empty street ever proved to be useful, but that is not the problem here). Same here until mid-may Same here for the training until very late (later than may), yet again a band-aid on a bullet wound, like separate entrances on the pitch in football matches ... with players sharing the same pitch for 90 minutes then And yet lots of Italian athletes performed well in many sports ... Like maybe in ...

Lol What a load of BS We were locked down just like Italy, it was impossible to go out, even in forest or empty areas further than one kilometer from your residence. There were no exemption for high-level athletes (https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/plus-de-sports/coronavirus-pourquoi-les-nageurs-italiens-peuvent-encore-s-entrainer-et-pas-les-francais-1877165.html "In Italy for example, high-level athletes are granted dispensations in spite of the lockdown"). So no, find other justifications please

I'd say likely for Warholm given his constant improvements, guess this race will conclude in season in fashion. As for Crouser the WR could show up at every meet, maybe even more in a "weaker" one, with ONE perfect throw to seal the deal ...

Wtf is that ... 2021 season starting in april ... so more than a full year without any tournament

Ryan Crouser 22.91 : =3rd AT

There is obviously not enough swimming events at the moment

Yes it was really obvious after the IMPRESSIVE French performance in the group stage You're obviously demonstrating the concept of teleological bias Analysing facts as a function of the already known ending of the story. You know that France won, you think that this tournament was boring (partly because Germany was eliminated early) so you argue that it was destined to be and that everyone should come to this idea. Except it was not. The fact that major countries were not at their best is not an explanation. As you say it, I understand that only big countries can win and if all but one are eliminated then the only that remains is already assured of winning But Belgium or Croatia also can be strong and have the potential to go all the way.

Another one in this situation is Kevin Mayer ... Injured in Doha so no mark since 2018, he was planning to qualify in the US in April (4-5 or at least in San Diego the 17-18th)

WOOOOOOOOO Beautiful

Again a stupid (mean ?) move by a Dutch

Yeah yeah, but remember we're in february

Guess who's back ? Kenny's back

Clean sweep in the sprint for the Netherlands ...

Just at the right moment

Hmm, not the first dangerous (voluntary ?) move from Mitchell

Loving the live results for the individual pursuit

You're right Didn't see her first time in the standings but she's there with 4 points (more than those who couldn't reach the line by her fault :))

Couldn't see the live results so Wild (who got disqualified), made 5 of her opponents fall without falling herself

Now you say it ... I wasn't even complaining about it because I integrated the fact that we have to ask for the utter minimum when dealing with broadcasting Not to mention also the problem of TV channels buying the diffusion rights and then not broadcasting the event

Don't know what happened to Germany in qualifications in the last kilometer but they must be gutted.
