10.60! 1-2-3 for 

I think I am more fascinated by small nations that are incredible in a particular sport. Figi in rugby is another great story.10.60! 1-2-3 for![]()
Would love to see a per capita medal table. Jamaica might be on top there![]()
I gasped when I watched it live, and I still can't see what went wrong watching it on NBC's broadcast.Pamela Ware's failed dive![]()
Does yelling after the discus has been released make it go farther?![]()
That's a happy bunch of Poles.
She was interviewed on CBC and said she overjumped into it landing too close to the end of the board (her toes were over) to do the dive safely without risking injury so she bailed.I gasped when I watched it live, and I still can't see what went wrong watching it on NBC's broadcast.
Oh yeah, well much better to bail then. It had just been going so well though! I was gutted for her. But it's definitely better for her to be safe about it. There will be more competitions if she so chooses.She was interviewed on CBC and said she overjumped into it landing too close to the end of the board (her toes were over) to do the dive safely without risking injury so she bailed.
It is a mistake she has been making in practice on that dive.
She said “maybe I made the wrong choice to bail.” And the interviewer said “Choosing safety is never a wrong
The French team won gold, making them the first to do so in this event at the Olympics.After failing to win a single individual medal, the Israeli judo team got a bronze in a the team event!

Yes, because it smooths the ice and makes the rock slide faster in that direction. There, I just saved you a couple of days' worth of writing grant applications.I can add it to my planned statistical study on "does brooming the ice actually make the rock go that way in curling?"
I have avoided watching a lot of male team sports and try to give more time to the women but I do have men’s bball on now. When he is”on” Kevin Durant is a remarkable player.
Like @overedge said, yes sweeping absolutely affects where the rocks go. The strongest sweepers can really carry the rock over, or save a shot that was mis-thrown. Joanne Courtney from the Rachel Homan rink is a good example - her sweeping is invaluable to them because of how she can make shots happen.I am willing to work with you to conduct a statistical study on this?

Who doesn't like an excited Pole?
