Not to take this thread off topic but I bought a Nintendo switch last year, at the age of 33, and downloaded the N64 pack just to play Goldeneye again. Worth every penny

and i reckon 75% of the time they do have both feet off the ground
Yeah - now that's a definite point. It's almost impossible to catch it on camera, and they're so good at it that it requires loads of spotters to check - with the penalties seeming pretty arbitrary tbh
I read that they installed special cameras a few years back to detect when both feet were off the ground or knees were bent. But the cameras found that so many racers were so breaking the rules so frequently that they just got rid of the technology in the end. Leaves me wondering what the rules actually are.
where did you see that?
there is no requirement to have both feet on the ground so installing something to detect it would be very odd and a complete waste of money
the rule is that there must be no visible (to the human eye) loss of contact with the ground.
the 'to the human eye' part is explicit, technology cannot be used

Now, I think that would be an interesting sport to watch
there's a big change to be aware of in the athletics with the introduction of a repechage in all track events up to and including the 1500m
round 1 will now have no fastest losers except in hurdles, instead all finishers who do not automatically qualify for the semis will go into the repechage so guaranteeing everyone at least 2 races as long as they finish the first one
the repechage will have fastest losers but this time not in the hurdles or the 1500m; the semis will have fastest losers in all except the 1500m
Great athlete and hope he gets into media or coaching and keeps himself busy. He obviously has an obsessive winning attitude, so needs to keep his mind occupied.
A shame it took the Brits a set and a half to really get going, but great that they did play a few top points at the end to go out on a more fitting note. Quite emotional, Murray has been an incredible leader of British tennis, as well as a great player, helping all the younger players including Evans.
Put as many mealy mouthed statements out as they like men have no place hitting women at all and certainly not in sport.
All the mental gymnastics justifying it. The boxer is a man and has been determined so. Not sporting to allow men to compete in most sports against women let alone in combat sports.
Child rapists and men fighting women. Awful what the olympics has become.

I think I've got that right
He doesn't look any different from when he was in the show. Doing well for a dead fellow.
I see dead people
