Plus the whole thing is just boring as shit, there is zero feeling of having a tournament when it's in so many different countries.

It’ll just feel like qualification all over again. Especially with the increased number of teams.

But she already had, since she had a top-half finish at the junior world championships   (unless that criteria only goes for the world championships qualification)

 

In any case, now she definitely did indeed  

I don’t think that worked actually because it was in the Youth category (not Junior!)

Ukaleq  qualified for the World Cup

Not being British (or EU) will be my biggest undoing in the end. I don’t really expect to even get an interview offer. I was more chance than anything. Yes, Totallympics Media did definitely help my application. In a year of two, that will be a very nice thing to have on my application.

How about Around The Rings? That's based in Atlanta and very similar. http://aroundtherings.com/site/291/About-Us

Three days (and I was supposed to be contacted between now and Friday if I made the interview stage)

It'll be a nailbiter. Do they require any kind of college degrees? I mean your Totallympics media project should be a good example of what you can do.

The process was I submitted my resume, and haven’t heard anything back (as expected) yet.

Well it’s only been a day

I officially applied for a job at Inside the Games, let’s hope for a miracle 

Good luck!! Let me know how the process goes- I was thinking of doing something similar after college

Well, yeah, I was in Pyeongchang :-D .... Where we might have met? 

Biathlon I think!

These yellow vests remind me of the Ferguson riots. Huge overreaction in both cases. I mean if they didn’t destroy things they could be more easily ignored, true, but there are so many smarter ways to get the public to notice and not resent you. (Hong Kong does a slightly better job of this)

yeah in slovak we use the classic worldwide month names so it´s  November. (in November = v novembri) or in this case she said tomorrow the 21st November (21 novembra)

 

meanwhile in czech language November is Listopad the czech month names were always one solid challenge at schools for slovak childrens

Yup and I remember having to learn words like "čučoriedka" and "korytnačka". But I think we only spent one lesson on it in 5th grade and never touched it again

some mega ultra retro @ahjfcshfghb @Jan Linha

 

The ending jingle of Czechoslovak Television.  With this the Czechoslovak Television ended its broadcasting every day. Love the anthem the Czech part (the first one) showing beautiful lands and architecture, then starts the Slovak part and immediately they showed... Mountains

 

Oh dear, I want our country back

 

That was so classy. Wish I was around for it. Also love how you guys say 'november'

@Jan Linha I feel like we met at Pyeongchang lol

2nd Round Groups set

 

3 Groups, Round-Robins, during the December International Break (12th-15th December 2019)

 

Group 1 in Brasov, Romania :

Group 2 in Barcelona, Spain: 

Group 3 in Sisak, Croatia: 

 

Again only the group winners will qualify for the February´s 2020 3rd Round.

 

If it's an 'International Break', will the Netherlands have their best players (Tilburg Trappers)?

A real drama !

 

For 4 minutes during the 3rd period of the last Sanya´s group match between and it was even Thailand who was somehow suddenly on a qualifying position !

but Taipei succeeded to score 3 unanswered goals in the last 10 minutes of the game to win that prestigious derby to overturn the destiny and win the tickets to Barcelona next month.

We should really stop calling them “Taipei” on this forum. It’s Taiwan...

and Tonkych´s empty netter 35 seconds to go send Kyrgyzstan to Brasov next month

It would have been nice to see  vs  but honestly  deserve it, especially since they're going to be languishing in divisions they're too strong for in the next two years.

The key match and very likely the decisive one (assuming both will as expected wins their tomorrows matches against UAE and BIH) for the qualifying spot to the 2nd round.

 

Luxembourg vs Kyrgyzstan Live just started

 

https://player.vimeo.com/video/371331714

 

 

If Kyrgyzstan wins 1) they are certain to advance and 2) they will certainly be in the group with Romania, Iceland, Israel.

So we will see Division IA vs Division IV 

There should be a live stream of the group in Luxembourg (that's what the federation told me). https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2020/ogqp1n/

 Saint Pierre and Miquelon/ Saint Barthelemy have applied to CONCACAF and should be joining in September 2020.

SVK Male ski jumper yupiii still only 12 years old but apparently with some interesting potential, became the first ever to jump over 120m after Tomáš Zmoray 8 years ago   anyway he is currently officially the only one and sole active slovak male ski jumper, hope he wont give up too soon

 

 

Wow! And.. There are a few more

I just re-watched everything. I had classes all day. 

Would be interesting if  won (Qatar doesn't recognize them)

So a Chinese club made up of prospective national team members lost 19-0 yesterday against a 3rd-tier Czech team (Příbram).  They’re playing in that league and have lost almost every game by huge margins

1) It's an extra screen

 

2) I watch a lot of things on it I can either not watch in the same way online or with a rather significant delay because internet (like 30 seconds, usually online streams are behind)

 

3) It's infinitely more relaxing to hang back on the couch and watch a big TV rather than some tablet or laptop screen from a chair

 

You keep watching through streaming services, but in my situation, country and everything, like in most things in life combining the best features of multiple options creates the best experience  

Just use a Czech VPN  

ceskevpn.cz

Hahaha this made my day. Post pictures too!

Exactly, Eliska deserves it a lot. And it's pity that Marketa Cervenkova and Lucie Sekanova cannot go due to injury. Tuey might have collected important point to the IAAF ranking before Tokyo 2020! 

Yeah- same goes for Juška, Hrubá, Vrzálová too. Is it conceivable to qualify if you’ve missed all of this season? The three I mentioned would have definitely qualified under the old system but since they are injured now, no ranking points.

The only surprising NOCs on the list are  and . I mean both of them have pretty good distance running tradition.

True,    and  usually show up every year. But they all have relatively few elite athletes, so I'm guessing the absences are due to injuries. Or the fact that they missed the deadlines- it does happen with federations like that.

As for  and  they haven't competed since 2007 !

It's a very good turnout overall too. Only 6 IAAF members won't be there (, ,   ,  and )
