Omitting the bike draft from the algorithm was the best decision they could have made. Hope that sticks, or at least a substantially mitigated draft effect.

[@toon_8552]

I think I preferred the original format with 3 mass starts. Also not sure about the no draft on the bike. Good racing tho.

[@paulsmith9343]

Remarkable

[@DanielMooreDJ]

How accurate is the running to real life? I personally would believe that if this was ran on the road we would have different results. Correct me if I'm wrong

[@haroldurban8088]

they said in the race in Germany that's the most accurate system. i never tried it.

[@DanielMooreDJ]

@@haroldurban8088 I have ran on the Technogym curved mill and I feel like runners with a long stride with a heal strike would have a lot bigger advantage than they would on the roads

[@towiva]

The speeds don't match the times! The women never ran quicker than 20km/h (which is a 3 min km) yet their times were sub 3 mins? Anybody understand this anomaly?

[@haroldurban8088]

@@towiva i watched the time when beaugrand start running on the first run. she began on 8:45 and ended on 12:05 it makes 18km/h which seems correct with the speed shown on the screen. is strange that after the commentator mention a 2:45.

[@Domingjm2]

@@towiva totally man. I didn't see her move more that a few cm on that treadmill, much less a whole km. More like 0cm/h, amirite?

1:09:13: they typed here name wrong :(

[@martinvardan6040]

The way Beaugraund outran everyone including Potter is not only outstanding, it's also kind of suspicious... maybe they should randomly change treadmills after every round or something to be able to spot if there is something wrong with one of them...

[@drym3943]

She did the same during qualification rounds. And she didn't have the same treadmill.

[@martinvardan6040]

@@drym3943 How do you know? in results from the heat, it says she did 3:06 and 3:21... (just a little bit slower than Potter..) it's a huge jump to 2:45, that's why I am curious

[@gileshyland2573]

Remember in the heats they only had to qualify for the final, nothing more. I was at the race and felt Beth dug very deep on the bike in the first race with some big power surges, and probably paid for that. Beaugrand rode consistent power (c270 watts) on all three races and then trusted her run. I think her long stride suits the treadmill too. She was very impressive and outswam everyone too, including Jess Learmonth.

[@bowandbeyond]

I think you are raising suspicion where there is none. There are official referees checking everything. Don’t take away the shine of her glorious win?

[@iznasni]

Beaugrand’s running is obviously her strong suit, and I’m sure that in a 10 k road race she would be in the world Top 10…

[@vozzen]

I don’t think they should be allowed to stand up and pedal since they would never do that in real life because of the aero loss. It just seems to create some weird racing when they are allowed to do that

[@o11378]

It’s the same for everybody so no disadvantage at all

[@gileshyland2573]

How on earth is riding out of the saddle from time to time weird? Have you ever watched a short course triathlon or pro bike race?

[@jimmcewen8994]

Of course they stand up out of the saddle! And also in the 'real' world they draft which was turned off today 🙄

[@OldHunters]

What are you talking about and have you watch any bike races before? cycling out of saddle for a lot more power is so common in a real race. you overrated aero.

[@vozzen]

My point is that standing up and pedaling is a huge aero disadvantage, but on Zwift this is not penalized. You use different muscles when sitting vs. standing, so by alternating you can produce more power than just by sitting. This is why FTP tests are done in a seated position.

[@duanecg]

Boring to watch

[@KS-go2ig]

Compared to what, watching an Ironman?

[@duanecg]

@@KS-go2ig compared to the World Triathlon series or the Super league.

[@sebastienricciardi883]

I personnaly got asleep (for real) during the bike leg of the Olympic Games. Never happens here

[@kevinmorgan2317]

I find it exciting.

[@Domingjm2]

Totally man, I just watched it in order to subsequently complain about it 👍👍
