Nikita Nagorny on the IOC decisions

Nikita has not said much publicly about the Paris Olympics, until now.

Rewriting Russian Gymnastics linked to an interview he gave lately to a domestic sports publication.

“THE IOC LEADERSHIP SHOULD PRESERVE OLYMPISM AND NOT MIX IT WITH POLITICS FOR PERSONAL GAIN.” INTERVIEW WITH NIKITA NAGORNY

why are LIVE scoring systems so BAD?

For me SmartScoring has been the worst way to follow LIVE scores at a Gymnastics competition.

And it seems to fail. Regularly.

Some people like LiveMeet, which is what we use in Canada. Personally I find the interface unappealing and slow. It’s like a webpage from the 1990s.

Longines is pretty. But I’m often confused with the layout.

Rachael points out that the system used for the PanAm Championships is quite good. A very clear and intuitive interface than anyone can use instantly. And it includes a lot of data.
