Was during practice not an event! But yeh.
Oh right it was before the games now that I think of it.

Tarling has a huge potential going forward. Remco will be fun to watch no matter if he focuses on classics or stage races.Tarling would have got Silver most likely if did not need a bike change...
but Remco eased up in last few km and Tarling lost a maximum of ~20 seconds... and was 27 seconds behind Remco. If he had kept pushing (which he would have if Tarling did not lose time) then he would have eked out another ~5 seconds or so at least too.
Would have made it more interesting in last km or so but unless you got Chris Boardman back on modern gear? Yeh... no-one is beating him on such parcours.

It’s still surreal (in a good way) sitting down to watch Olympic Skateboarding.
Imagine putting breakdancing in the Olympics before hurling. What are we DOING
I f***ing love hurling. That sport leaves my jaw on the floor in 2 secondsHurling and International rules football would be very fun adds... (IRL instead of Gaelic so that has bigger base of nations who could compete)
Lacrosse (though will be in 2028)
Cricket (though will be in 2028)
Cyclo-cross (though maybe will be in 2030)
all coming some.
But yeh... some strange choices.
Can you explain the "extra point" to me in 7s? I understand how the angle is based on where you touch the ball in the "endzone", but is the distance affected at all? Are they set spots?
I see so you figure the more extreme the angle of the touch, the farther (comfortably) you'll choose to drop kick it from in an attempt to offset the angleYou can kick it from anywhere distance wise... wherever you choose. So it is a bit of a balance between angle and distance.
Drop-kicks are such bastards.

I think I said this for Tokyo, but I really don't like the skateboarding format.
Only 2 runs really kills creativity and taking chances.
Would rather just drop the solo tricks and have it be best of 3 runs.
