heywoodu 13,500 Posted November 11, 2020 #21 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Huh, what are heats 1 and 2 in the first round? We've got three heats there: 1st vs 6th 2nd vs 5th 3rd vs 4th Any single one of them being excluded from the fight for gold would be incredibly unfair, surely I'm missing something here? If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

heywoodu 13,500 Posted November 11, 2020 #22 Share Posted November 11, 2020 It seems like it's indeed true, 3rd and 4th position means you're out of the gold medal hunt, whereas 5th and 6th place (with 6th being a full 4 seconds behind the top-4) still have a theoretical shot for gold This is just ridiculous. I mean, I've seen ridiculous things, but a last place - far, far, far away from the second-to-last place - giving you a better chance for gold than a 3rd place is high on the list.

Col_Frost 179 Posted November 11, 2020 #23 Share Posted November 11, 2020 This is stupid indeed. And now for example 1st team won't finish because of crash or something and 6th team has silver medal If they don't want make normal competition like two fastest time in final, next two in bronze (but then 1 round wouldn't be necessary) then they should make format when winners of 1v4 and 2v3 are in final and two fastest time from the rest in bronze medal race.

SalamAkhi 277 Posted November 11, 2020 #24 Share Posted November 11, 2020 The UEC live timing is indeed quite awful, but at least we will enjoy some TV coverage ...

Federer91 2,114 Posted November 11, 2020 #27 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Is the hockey glass around the track mandatory for such events? Don't remember having it before. Our regular Eurosport commentator sounds so happy to be commentating from the track instead of the studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,172 Posted November 11, 2020 #28 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Here we go. Starting from scratch. It's a somewhat underrated event. Yes, it is similar to road racing, but everyone competes as an individual! #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
