Sprint Canoeing ICF World Championships 2019
Olympian1010 replied to Totallympics's topic in Canoeing - Sprint
I only came into this thread to celebrate with y’all (because I’m trying to avoid spoilers). All the slalom athletes were watching from their hotel and went crazy when she won. I still can’t believe it. We’re supposed to suck at canoe, but we’ve had a few above average performances in Hungary this time around. I’m really hopeful for all US canoeing at the Olympics next year. I honestly don’t know if we’ve ever had a better canoe program. -
That’s ok the Parapan Am Games are helping with Plan B. I’ll probably watch both and sleep very little this week.

I can’t handle the two little boys (with disabilities) playing tag. I’m gonna cry ?

It really is cool to see how seriously Peru has taken these games. I’ve seen equal marketing to the Pan Ams on their social media accounts, all the national TV and newspapers are reporting on the Parapan American Games. Plus, thousands of people turned out for the opening ceremony. In genuinely excited for these games. I love para-sport, and I can’t wait a great week of it.

@hckosice has a pretty good size team here. They should manage to grab a few medals hopefully.

We’re going to send our best rakers

When it comes to roller sports it’s material and wheel size that matter. The taller the wheels, the faster you’ll skate. Material can have some small differences too, but generally not enough in the long run to affect much (unless you have stripped wheels, worn down wheels, or too new wheels)

@intoronto Since you generally seem to be in the know, any idea if Canada has selected a boys or girls hockey team? They can only send one.

Blocked in your country . I’ll use my vpn after the ceremony ends because it struggling to keep up with streams lately.
-
Well, it appears as though every sport will be broadcast. Only those 4 + Badminton will be broadcast with full graphics and multiple cameras though. I think I’ll enjoy these games highly. Especially since I can watch whatever I want too (hopefully).
-
Yeah finally figured it out a while ago. Unfortunately all the Pan Am flies are gone, so no homemade results books for those games
-
The biggest thing I’ve hated about Lima 2019 is their results website. It crashes often, and there’s no way to save the PDFs, which I love to do for all multi-sports games (besides the smaller and military based ones). I honestly would’ve loved both games more, had the results website been better. That’s really my only major complaint.

Yeah I was up in the Sierra Nevadas a few years ago and it went from a sunny day in July, to 1-2 inches of snow on the ground
-
That’s what we do in the US . World Leaders are such fucking idiots right now. It’s honestly like half the world is having a competition to see can screw their country and humanity over more. The 2020-2022 election cycle will hopefully bring some change (Plus, a few coups in undemocratic nations would be nice too)

First gold medal of the 2019 Parapan American Games will be awarded in the hour. It’s in women’s Table Tennis and I believe that will be the match they show live at 11:00
-
Not unexpected. These really are games meant for sports that don’t get a lot of attention and athletes who have worked hard, but aren’t always at the elite level in the “real” version of the sport. As I said, these are meant to be “just for fun games”. I think the competition should be taken seriously, but that the games aren’t meant to be a serious multi-sport event. It’s just a fun little event in between when the “real” one comes around. I’ve quite enjoyed the other beach games this year.
-
Where? I couldn’t find them earlier
-
Olympic Channel will broadcast the games as well it appears. Already a few events on their schedule
-
You really got to look for the North Africans when they’re hopped up on lemonade too
-
TV Broadcast Schedule: Here

Damn, the website won’t work for me
-
Evgeny went down to visit @mrv86 after my joke. He doesn’t understand what a joke is.
-
@vinipereira Are you able to use the streaming available at the Lima2019 website? Supposedly they’re showing more sports.
