    Right, but how do you get to that level without the same opportunities as men? Women’s cycling does have a semi-privileged standing amongst women’s sports as it actually gets some air time like you said. That’s a good start, but there’s a lot more that needs to be done if people want better racing. I think it’s trending in the right direction, but it still needs help.

    It’s hard to grow a sport when it isn’t given TV time though. People really just expect women’s sport to get better on it’s own without advertising, television, funding, etc. I’m not saying this wasn’t a boring race, because it was, but let’s calm down with the “women’s sports sucks” comments.

    Yep, really glad I woke up two hours early for this one

    I’d be inclined to say alpacas. They better make the daily highlights. Race is down to a select group at the front. There goes Van Der Breggen!

    Dutch decided to cut the crap, so now the actual race can start.

    Every men’s/women’s road race at the Commonwealth Games ever. It doesn’t really bother me, though I wish the Icelandic ladies would give me a little more to cheer for.

    Feel like I’ve seen that graphic before...

    Solid qualification system. I like that they use SA/CAC Games for qualification.
  12. Olympian1010
    Yeah, I’m with y’all on this one, this feels way too excessive. I like that Panam Sports are giving the Junior Pan Am Games purpose and prestige, but it shouldn’t detract from the ability of senior/elite athletes to qualify for their respective Games.

    Y’all are going to have to tell me how accurate this is.

    I understand that broadcasters confuse riders nationality from time to time, but come on, the flag is on screen. Now, in fairness to NBC, I do believe Kung represented Liechtenstein earlier in his career. Edit: Yep, sure enough, he represented Liechtenstein at the 2011 Games of the Small States of Europe. He didn’t win either of the gold medals at those Games however. Bob Jungels beat him in both the road race (single rider breakaway, won by 2 minutes), and the time trial (by a gap of 1:12).

    You’ll post the entry on this thread when the entry window opens. @heywoodu is being his typical lazy self, and forgetting to post the timetable and such (We peer pressured him into starting this thread before he was ready I think )

    Perhaps @Manulete could come back for Chile.
  19. Olympian1010
    Oh, you didn’t include Spain on your list above. Apologies.

    Y’all missed @Cobi

    @Vojthas Are you going to participate in your first “real” TISC?
  22. Olympian1010
    Yeah me too, but if cuts have to be made, I’d rather it be there than events, athletes, sports, venues, etc.
  23. Olympian1010
    Regarding how the IOC will deal with Covid... The idea right now is: - If an athlete tests positive, they will be removed from the Games, and their quota will be reallocated if possible. - If there is a vaccine available, athletes will most likely be forced to take it if they wish to compete at the Games. There’s a bunch of other countermeasures too, but these seemed like ones to make note of.
  24. Olympian1010
    We’ll see. I think they’re taking more about banners outside venues, banners in places people can’t see, etc. I do agree they might be less creative with the obstacles though.
  25. Olympian1010
    Where did you read that? I haven’t been able to find specifics on the ceremonies.
