@crucial ah I was wondering if they used clips.
They use MTB ones as they are built into the shoe and don’t stick out. If they used roadie ones it would be difficult to walk up the ramps
I'd rather struggled up the ramp than struggled on the course! I use Shimano SPDs for road and MTB, they stick out, so I'm trying Google what MTB clips are.
I assumed they mean the inset SPDs as opposed to those mounted completely outside the sole.

Yeah I think that's about it, from my Google.

@crucial I saw a thing with Venus' coach on TV, he was confident he should take the Bronze, reckoned they were good enough for gold, but just didnt happen.
Just didn't happen... playing against a guy who was once no. 3 in the world at singles and a former US Open champ might have something to do with it....

I always thought it was just a standard boxing tournament thing.
