FancyFenchel 106 Posted July 26, 2021 #51 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Just now, heywoodu said: For training purposes, so the riders can get to know the jump in a relatively safe manner. It's apparently done in some races when there are big jumps (especially if they're new). Ok. Reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,504 Posted July 27, 2021 #52 Share Posted July 27, 2021 WoodenBoardGate continues, apparently they will leave it there for the women. Basically saying the women aren't good enough to jump it, which is kind of a bad message to send. 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!

Well, you need to make a big jump to clear those big rocks, and women will be approaching the jump with a slower average speed. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vektor 3,177 Posted July 27, 2021 #57 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Vas falling from 3rd place at the start is Hungary at Tokyo2020 in a nutshell so far (apart from fencing). Not that I expected anything from this race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vektor 3,177 Posted July 27, 2021 #59 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Okay, I shouldn't be too harsh, Vas is actually doing surprisingly well here even with that fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
