Adriano 453 Posted July 25, 2021 #211 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Great start for Plichta and Lach, Niewiadoma even has a problem to get place in Top8.... 2 days and we do not have medal and event one points from being in Top8... My prediction was 5-6 medals, but I expected more good starts from our athletes. I am happy for Austria. Italian and girls from Netherlands save energy, it was wise.

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...

It would explain a lot because that was a debacle... and the fact she celebrated across the line, it did look like she thought she won it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,556 Posted July 25, 2021 #214 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Apparently the peloton either didn't know the gap to the lead group (they were shown 1:35 or something when it was already 5+ minutes), or didn't think there was still a lead group in the first place.

Although celebrating at the line for her (not the other Dutch women) would still be fitting even if she knew Kiesenhofer was ahead.

Vektor 3,195 Posted July 25, 2021 #216 Share Posted July 25, 2021 So who messed up here, the athletes or the organizers? Because if it's latter, this is the biggest controversy of the Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be bad if the organizers actually gave wrong information, but not as bad as the screw-up of the athletes.
