I just came back from Rowing venue. And indeed I brought luck to Oh, and I also met a certain champion, from a certain sport, from a certain year...

It is that Thomas Bach, Olympic Champion, fencing 1976!?!?!?!

Dude. Add an event that's made for the youth athletes (monobob), ok, but stay away from the main event of bobsleigh.

Yeah, I believe it is allowed to vote even if you miss the 1st stage of picking the song.

i guess i'm late for helping @amen09 for the song choice ... but i hope i can vote

looks like USA will get another historic medal in table tennis this time in boys' event after their bronze in girls in 2014

B-boy Bumblebee is smashing it on Channel 04

Happy with Ivanov's final, despite finishing last...

no, if Doi goes in front of him, the French gets the bronze medal...

Finally something

@hckosice Ecuador.

It already happened a few times in the late Eighties and early Nineties... but then the idea was abandoned due to economical issues (most Nations couldn't afford a trip in the Southern Hemisphere)... this is a quick reminder of those times... 1985/1986 2 men's Downhill races in Las Leñas (August 16th & 18th, 1985...both won by Karl Alpiger) 1986/1987 2 men's Downhill races in Las Leñas (August 15th & 16th, 1986...the first one won by Peter Mueller and the second one won by Pirimin Zurbriggen) 1989/1990 1 men's Giant Slalom + 1 men's Slalom in Thredbo (August 11th & 12th, 1989...the GS won by Lars-Borje Eriksson and the SL won by Armin Bittner) 1 women's Downhill + 1 women's Super-G races in Las Leñas (August 8th & 9th, 1989...the DH won by Michaela Gerg and the SG won by Anita Wachter) 1990/1991 1 men's Giant Slalom + 1 men's Slalom in Mount Hutt (August 8th & 9th, 1990...the GS won by Fredrik Nyberg and the SL won by Peter Roth)

cause it's windy

It's windy.

But if the president of the federation is from that 'random country X' and was accused of corruption in the national volleyball federation, creating a rivalry between the CBV and the FIVB, so I doubt it.

No federation ever helps 'random country X', according to people from 'random country X'

She was born in UK, not sure what is her connections with TPE, maybe one of the parents is from Taipei

We (Sofia) are planning a candidature for the 2024 Winter Youth Olympics. Our sports minister said things were very positive after a long talk with the IOC last week.

I don’t know if I’d consider the four-man what it used to be, it’s expenisve, requires larger tracks, etc.

The Individual Time Trial and Paralympic cycling courses has been revealed.

Kolesnikov opening the 4x100 freestyle with 48.04, dear lord That would have placed him 5th and 7th at the (individual) 100 free at the last world champs and Olympics

Those 5 reais sports federations get per year nowadays really makes a difference, yes

Ah I now understand why he was called Bozo! So this is just Brazilian version of Trump, who is just plain crazy yet people are supporting him? Right?

8-3 for Egypt over Panama

I will be visiting the rowing venue tomorrow, one of the nicest venues. Hopefully it will bring good luck to our team.

Taekwondo is more interesting here than Seniors

btw if anyone interested, her instagram is definitely worth to be followed https://www.instagram.com/bseemanova/?hl=sk

Come on, these Lithuanian breaststrokers keep popping-up.

I've learned to take every Moldovan medal with a large pinch of salt...

It does not look urban and young enough for it to be designed by the IOC..

Well, You are probably right. But, you know, this is Sagan, he definitely should not be underestimated, if he is well prepared and has some real focus on it, he can win on any terrain. In addition, it will be probably his last chance to win a Olympic medal. and if not, there still a MTB (Our athlete is starting to collect Olympic points consistently)

Alex Barto won his match and tied the 1st round score to 3-3, but his next two team mates of the "Team Seoul" obviously lost their games and Barto´s team lost the whole match 3-5. even in the mixed NOC´s thing our athletes just are not able to win medal being part of the right teams

Yeah, it is actually the shortest ever distance for women's Olympic TT. 44 km for men is also the shortest ever, going back to 1912...

Right, but he's part Trump, part Hitler. He's been quoted (and recorded on video) saying that pretty women should be raped, that he raised his sons well so they would never date a black woman, that parents should be allowed to beat hard their male kids so these kids would not be gay in the future... And one of his sons, who has been elected senator, said that parents should have the right to kill a gay son. Bozo and his son are criminals. Sons, actually. There are two more, and they all take part in politics, unfortunately. Bozo does not even respect his own daughter. He said in a speech that she's the result of him being weak (like, he was weak when he had sex, so she was born a girl, not a boy). What a sick man.

Yes, I think so. His supporters seem to believe sports eat up a lot of public funds, so they are okay with the idea of not funding Olympic sports anymore (this would probably not affect football, since clubs manage their own income and use their own money to hire players). People around here are really dumb. You have no idea. For example, Bozo has been very vocal about even revoking labor rights and sharply decreasing income of families, and even so people think this is the best thing for the country and vote for him. Exactly!

Maybe it is. So far all 50/50 stuff hasn't gone in our favor. Buuut, deeper cause is probably economic strain and cuts in sport funding.

Still no medal for
