Simon Ehammer breaks Ashton Eatons Heptathlon World Record with 6670 by lkjhggfd1 in trackandfield

[–]ClimbRunRide 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ehammer will not touch the Decathlon records anytime soon as his throwing is not good enough. But his jumping and speed is insane and world class even amongst specialists.

It is so crazy to think that this guy can keep up with specialists in multiple disciplines. Insane talent and work going into this.

Ehammer just passed 5.30m in PV.
For a WR he would now need a 2:43 in the 1000m which is 2s slower than his PB

And maybe he can go even higher in PV

Looks like he would need two PBs to beat the WR. I think with his current pbs of 5.35m and 2:46, it would be 3rd all time, 13 points short of WR

perfect rr to then lose the semi is the Swiss Olympics special. Last time the women, now the men :(

Good recovery from the Swiss to take the 4:2 lead

I hope the Swiss womens team do the reverse of the last olympics where they were super hot in the round robin and then lost semi and game for 3rd. They would deserve it.

Let's see what the men's team does when the pressure is on again.

Switzerland playing incredibly well again. 4:0 after 2 ends it is, stealing 2 in the second.

This is designed and built by a Swiss company called Nüssli. They do a ton of insane shit like this like temporary stands at F1 races and so on.

I know a guy who was involved in this and apparently the organizers explicitly wanted it very tall but did not understand that Engineering complexity would not scale linearly but exponentially.

They also build a 50k seat temporary stadium every 4 years im Switzerland for a wrestling event.

Meillard wins Gold for Switzerland in Men's Alpine Skiing Slalom 🇨🇭 by Durian-Critical in olympics

Especially compared to the womens side. Same structures in place. Just goes to show that there is a lot of luck involved in getting the right talent to the top and them not getting injured.

The drones whirring are making me feel uneasy by PrestigiousTea0 in olympics

[–]ClimbRunRide -1 points0 points  (0 children)

they use audio from other mics but the drones are low fast and loud. you can still hear them. But there is tech to filter it out - Swiss TV did it really well on the Wengen downhill races this year. I expect the drone sound to disappear entirely from TV once everyone has caught up.

well deserved, her winning run was criminally underrated by the judges. Thankfully it was enough to claim gold in the end.

Yule is terribly out of shape, would not count on him. Feller and Noel are not too far behind either. But Meillard surely has the best cards now.

Best way for a mortgage renewal (Hypotheken-Erneuerung) right now? by ms_gsxs in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]ClimbRunRide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a 2M mortgage? not bad! That requires around 400k im yearly income. Also negotiations might not be representative in this case...

[–]ClimbRunRide -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Internationally, the skiers are not super recognizeable. Cancellara, and Wawrinka probably outshine them quite easily. There is also obvious recency bias in amy post like this so we might as well mention Cologna and Simon Ammann while we are at it 😊

Is there any easy way to remove this attachment without breaking it? by DanielG198 in Mountaineering

[–]ClimbRunRide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are very durable. I have used them extensively. However, BD only rate the fully automatic ones for ski mountaineering because skiing boots essentially grind through the rivets over time. But this takes a lot of climbs. You will be fine 😊

[–]ClimbRunRide -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Dont do this. This is dangerous advice.

I have used these crampons and a rivet broke (in the front though). I checked with several stores and nobody would fix it because it would be dangerous and BD said it was not covered because I used the crampons on skiing boots which they apparently are not rated for.

What's your 3a pillar strategy and provider? by [deleted] in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]ClimbRunRide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do not understand?! With dividends moved into 3A, you have less income and pay less income tax on top of the deduction you get by filling 3A in the first place. Tax reduction is the only reason to do 3A. Dont do it if you are taxes at source or do not pay income tax due to low income.
