VAR Has One Job, And It's Failing Miserably At It: The most common complaint against VAR—or any form of video review in sports—in one of aesthetics. If referees insist on stopping the game for several minutes to double check every key play, the thinking goes, all the drama and intensity and emotion of the biggest moments will be lost, and the celebrations of fans will be replaced by hesitance and trepidation while they wait to confirm that what they just saw with their own eyes actually happened. It’s a fine argument, one that at least a strong minority of sports fans would agree with. But most leagues around the world have chosen to ignore it. If the game gets delayed for a bit, they’ve decided, that’s okay, because it’s a small price to pay to avoid controversy and make sure officials are making an objectively correct call.

It feels a little weird to me that Belgium didn't have a sprinter available (not one of the injured hurdlers of course, but one of the other runners) rather than a shotputter. Though I suppose any non-hurdler was likely to come in last behind all of the other countries' hurdlers, so maybe that didn't make a difference. Good on her for doing it either way.

I assume they are "Las Vegas Knights del Oro" on Hispanic heritage night.
What a stretch in the second period! I came in from a walk and it was 2-1; 13 minutes of game time later it was 6-1--with a dagger 2 seconds before intermission--and the game was over.
