dodge 697 Posted July 23, 2021 #101 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Bit of a disaster for Byrne and Doyle in the double sculls for Ireland. They expect to make the final and challenge for medals Just watched the race there (thank you discovery plus) and their start was awful and they never really got going at all. Hopefully just a flat day. Interesting that the heats and repechages only eliminate one boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like looking at a race course where the horses run clockwise instead of anti-clockwise like Sandown Park. Can't remember a less attractive rowing venue. Hopefully the water is cleaner than Rio.

dcro 10,179 Posted July 23, 2021 #103 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I actually ended up liking the venue. Fantastic camera shots from under the bridge. Rowing needs more of that. Olympian1010, Olympionikes and JamDH 3 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowing needs more of that. Chinese state media in charge of the TV signal of Rowing and Canoeing Sprint. They very proudly introduced their multi angles technology and cameras from ariel, land and water at the same time. TBH it's more advanced than before but also a bit annoyingly too-many angles in a single match for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Greco 21 11 Posted July 23, 2021 #105 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Greek Stefanos Ntouskos seemed in a pretty good shape in his first race. He had the chance for an easy race, to get more familiar with the venue and to hold up his power for the next races. Hopefully he will have the same chance on Sunday, and then to give his all in the last two races. I understand that the fact that he won easily, or that he had the second best time of all qualifiers is not a legit sign that he is going for a medal, but who knows? For whoever watched the shape he was in, and how with few ropes gaining more meters, maybe we have a good shot here for a medal.

Dragon 1,695 Posted July 23, 2021 #106 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Change in race schedule Summary: Change in race schedule on Saturday, 24 July, Sunday, 25 July and Monday, 26 July Details: Based on the weather forecasts received from the Tokyo2020 Olympic Games weather services, adverse weather is expected on Monday 26 July 2021 which would bring high winds and strong gusts creating probably unequal and potentially unrowable racing conditions. The weather forecast for Saturday 24 July 2021 and Sunday 25 July 2021 remains good. The World Rowing Executive Committee has reviewed the options in Rule 63 and following consultations with IOC, Tokyo2020 Organising Committee and OBS have decided to make the following changes: 1. Racing will start at 8:00hrs with Repechage1 of W1x on Saturday 24 July 2021 and will follow the same order of racing. 2. Men’s 8+ heats and Women’s 8+ heats will be moved from Sunday 25 July 2021 to Saturday 24 July 2021. These races will start with M8+ H1 at 12:00hrs, followed by M8+ H2 at 12:10hrs, W8+ H1 at 12:20hrs, W8+ H2 at 12:30hrs. 3. All races planned on Monday 26 July 2021 will be moved to Sunday 25 July 2021 and will be held in the same order starting at 11:00hrs with W1x Quarterfinals intoronto, Vic Liu, heywoodu and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowing needs more of that. Not a fan of rowing past what looks like just some random industrial area, but I completely agree about the good camera work (especially related to the bridge) 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!

Can’t seem how they can retrieve this. One of best medal contenders in trouble already. They skipped the press conference too which is not a good sign.
