  • Kodaira, Krol and Mantia Hold the Aces As Japan's Team Pursuit
    November 23, 2019 Tomaszów Mazowiecki, Poland Kodaira, Krol and Mantia hold the aces as Japan’s Team Pursuit ladies crash and burn Nao Kodaira (JPN) returned to her winning ways in the 500m, but her compatriots in the ladies' Team Pursuit suffered a first loss after three seasons of invincibility at the ISU World Cup Speed Skating in Tomaszów Mazowiecki, Poland, on Saturday. The Russian ladies took advantage of a weakened Japanese line-up, edging out the Netherlands by 0.12 seconds to win gold. Joey Mantia (USA) crossed the line first to win the men's Mass Start after a hard day's work. In the 1500m he had finished 16th, with Thomas Krol (NED) taking gold in a track record, just 0.19 seconds ahead of team-mate and last week's winner Kjeld Nuis (NED). Kodaira calm and composed Winning the 500m in a track record time of 37.77, Kodaira made amends for the bronze medal that broke a streak of 23 World Cup golds in the 500m last week in Minsk. "That was a bit unlucky," the victorious Japanese said about her race in Belarus. "I was too busy in my head. A lot of things happened. I had to start three times. This week it was better, I only focused on my own skating." Kodaira was referring to her race in Minsk versus Vanessa Herzog (AUT). The Austrian was disqualified after two false starts and was relegated to the B Division. Herzog also bounced back from disappointment confidently winning the B Division race in Poland.

  • CCC Match Report V Wiltshire Queries 10.06.18
    CCC v Wiltshire Queries – Sunday 10th June, 2018 Chilmark’s winning streak came to an inglorious end on Sunday as an over strength Wiltshire Queries cricketed far better than the home team. The writing was on the wall early when pictures filtered through from lakeside in France, where CCC chairman Carl Jacobs had bagged himself a carp the size of a submarine. With the world’s supply of luck being channelled by Jacobs, there wasn’t much to go around Cleeves Farm. This showed on the first ball of the day, when Pete Corbin managed to tempt the batsman into a hook shot that resulted in a top edge. Wicketkeeper Jason Stearman lost sight of it and first slip brand King was still picking his breakfast from his teeth. The ball fell safely and the batsman went on to score 26 before Paul Butler took a sharp caught and bowled chance. It was that kind of day. Butler’s success was followed by an over that saw four sixes hit from it. Seeing this carnage captain Patrick Craig-McFeely decided Reg ‘Golden Arm’ Allen should be injected into the attack. Four more sixes promptly followed. By this time the opener responsible for the onslaught had reached his century (racing from 54 to 102 in 10 balls) and mercifully retired. It was a good time to be tossed the ball. Brand King and Jake Taylor benefitted and started bringing some respectability back to proceedings. When King jagged one between bat and pad Chilmark had their second wicket at the princely sum of 155 runs.

Abstract. Can one understand the statistics of wins and losses of baseball teams? Are their consecutive- game winning and losing streaks self-reinforcing or can they be described statistically? We apply the Bradley-Terry model, which incorporates the heterogeneity of team strengths in a minimalist way, to answer these questions. Excellent agreement is found between the predictions of the Bradley-Terry model and the rank dependence of the average number team wins and losses in major-league baseball over the past century when the distribution of team strengths is taken to be uniformly distributed over a finite range. Using this uniform strength distribution, we also find very good agreement between model predictions and the observed distribution of consecutive-game team winning and losing streaks over the last half-century; however, the agreement is less good for the previous half-century. The behavior of the last half-century supports the hypothesis that long streaks are primarily statistical in origin with little self-reinforcing component.

  • Lin Dan Vs Lee Chong Wei: Lin 22 Wins with the Longest Winning Streak Four Times in a Row
    Lin Dan vs Lee Chong Wei: Lin 22 wins with the longest winning streak four times in a row In the early morning of March 12 of Beijing time, 2012 All England Open Badminton Championships had started the men's singles finals of the competition, Once again, the final showdown between Lin and Lee had begun. Lin won the opening game with a close score of 21-19. Unfortunately in the second game with Lin leading 6-2, Lee Chong Wei had to retire. Thus Lin claimed the championship this year without further resistance. This is the fifth All England men's singles title won by Lin Dan. He has also made history winning the most All England men's singles gold medals in the last 36 years. Lin and Lee are undoubtedly the most successful and spectacular players in today’s world badminton men’s singles. The fight between them is also known as the "Lin-Lee Wars”; this is not only the indication of the intensity of their fights; it is also a good description of the smell of the gunpowder produced from their countless encounters. So far, they have met a total of 31 times; Lin Dan has a record of 22 wins and 9 losses against Lee Chong Wei, an obvious advantage on the win-loss ratio. The first meeting was at the Thomas Cup in 2004, when Lin Dan won 2-1. They last played against each other at the 2012 South Korea's Super Series, Lin Dan was overturned by his opponent 1-2.
