I don't want to be harsh and I obviously know fuck all about the sport, but it seemed like she persisted with that part of the course on the downwind sections despite it costing her time after time. A bit of stubbornness cost her methinks.
Amazing performance obviously though - ranked 11th in the world and finished 4th. Overperformed, can't complain."Worldly wisdom teaches that it is better for reputation to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally." - John Maynard Keynes

Cricket petering out to a rain-affected draw Kev. SA look so solid, would need to be either a dodgy pitch at Lords, exceptional bowling by England or both to deny us the loots.

Like you said though and overperformance, and she's still very young too.
Huge lolz on BBC3, presenter guy goes over to some celebrating Belgians for a comment. "Fucking unbelievable, unfuckingbelievable, I cant fucking believe it". Cue lots of apologies from the presenter

Originally posted by hotspur View PostThat Katie Taylor can win one fight and get an Olympic medal seems vaguely wrong when you compare it to what others have to do to get one.
So I'd say that ease of secure a medal finish and ease of qualification are more or less inversely proportional.
Originally posted by cooker3 View PostI don't like the fact a semi-final is a guaranteed medal. 2 semi final losers should fight off for bronze like most other sports. 2 bronze medals dilutes it imo.
It's just a game with no consequences, then a play off is easy.
Originally posted by V for Vendetta View PostIn Judo they have a repechage system and still give out two bronze medals. The vagaries of the draw make some bronzes more earned then others in all sports imo. It's hard to know really. Del Potro really earned his bronze yesterday but did his opponent care as much?? It's a tough one.
The only medal that brooks no argument under any system is gold I guess.
The repechage is good in that it balances uneven draws, but I can't help but feel that the two bronzes are always equal.Last edited by Mellor; 06-08-12, 12:56.
