Men's Prelims - Walker NH :(

Unread postby roger/over » Tue Aug 19, 2008 11:08 pm

[edit by Becca: The competition begins at 5:40am Pacific/8:40am Eastern on Wednesday morning]

The startlists may be hidden away somewhere on PVP, but I'm surprised that the volume of posts on the men's competition is so much less than it was on the women's competition. In any event, if you haven't found your own source for the startlists, here's what I've located (from NBC Olympics) and the seasonal bests (from Mirko Jalava's world deep list) of the qualifiers:

MPV Qualifying Round A

Not enough trash talk from the guys. :D

So I see Gibilisco did not follow through on his threat of pulling out of the Olympics because he wasn't getting enough love from Petrov.

No matter what Jeff does today, he is our hero and our inspiration.

I've linked to this thread from my masters track blog:

Plant high, Jeff, and ride that sucker into the sky! :D

(And I hope you're feeling better, Roger!)

The stadium is still filling up. It's a hazy day in Beijing, and humid; the poor visibility might be humidity (the air is completely saturated, almost dripping on us).

We've said it before, but the stadium is packed.
