OlympicsFan 782 Posted August 5, 2021 #381 Share Posted August 5, 2021 The result in women's keirin might be the most absurd at the whole games. 3 nobodies noone ever heard of winning the medals. Overall Germany threw away more safe gold medals than even the biggest hater would have predicted. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new style omnium creates a 3-3 split. they should bring individual pursuit and point race back as standalone disciplines, instead of this thing...and maybe even put the elimination race as a standalone event in the Olympic schedule, too...

It's the only silver lining at these Olympics (we had good results in judo and fencing too but other than that way too many disappointments, we're gonna end up with approximately 7-10 less medals than in Rio) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,540 Posted August 6, 2021 #385 Share Posted August 6, 2021 That's one Dutch sprinter in the individual final already.

British ESP commentators are already insinuating the Dutch officiating bias since Hoogland did not get relegated for going over the line in heat 1... heywoodu 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say I was paying enough attention so it's hard to say, but apparently Dutch TV did talk about it for a bit.

dcro 10,179 Posted August 6, 2021 #389 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Lithuanians have looked slow motion all week. Somehow they got 5th in the team, but individual events have been abysmal. Bearas 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even remotely We'll get to that when both pursuit teams are serious medal contenders (they don't even really have a team yet) and distance events bring the same results as the men's sprint events 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!
