  1. And also welcome @asiulka2002 And @Cinnamon Bun!
  2. Actually I find it perfect when Olympics are during the night. Basically nobody else is awake then, so I can give my undivided attention to the Olympics and only communicate with people related to the Olympics instead of the usual daily things (and have the groceries delivered, of course, although I already have 30 packs of noodles for nightly hunger )
  3. Together with Martina , Aït Saïd is my favourite choice so far
  4. You're only getting them now? I mean, as soon as we knew it's in Japan, I was going for sleeping from roughly 17:00 to 00:00 and that's still the plan, depending on the exact days. Meaning my sleeping doesn't change, only the time does Obviously this is only possible because I'm free from work. If that's not possible or you have a child or something, this simple solution becomes near-impossible
  5. Anywhere between 15 and 35 would not be surprising A ton of medal chances, but that includes a whole lot who are not necessarily the main favourite and could just as well finish 4th or 5th.
  6. Nothing official yet, although the latest and (and really the only) real news article about it is from yesterday: https://www.volkskrant.nl/sport/nederland-vaardigt-na-53-jaar-weer-een-gewichtheffer-af-naar-de-olympische-spelen~b5ded4f2/ There it's saying he will go (first Dutch in 53 years), and also that his gold medal in the world juniors should have been enough and nobody - including himself - knew why it took so long to get confirmation after that. Those people really should read on Totallympics more often.
  7. Ah, the same article on a Dutch website did call him 'The Elon Musk of the Balkan' Unknown here then, I guess. I was wondering since I'm really not into these things myself, but this dude sounds pretty interesting to follow.
  8. How well-known is Rimac in Croatia? Just wondering, since the first headline I saw about it here literally said "Bugatti taken over by unknown Croatian company" Cool though, Bugatti's are sweet.
  9. Davide Rebellin, 49 years old, climbing into the top-10 in a pretty decent field https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/sibiu-cycling-tour/2021/stage-2-gc Tutti pazzi per Pirazzi is also back, but nowhere near his pre-doping form
  10. I already know how that's going to go Day -2 and -1: "Cool, it's starting, let's watch the softball and football and let's go!!" Much later with Olympics in full swing: "Huh, finals are today, I wonder who made it."
  11. Harder for Flückiger than for Lecomte though, considering the women's race is basically what we saw (minus Neff), whereas in the men's race Van der Poel will join the field, Avancini will quite likely return in better shape than earlier in the season and Pidcock is probably going to be a lot more recovered than he was yesterday...
  12. Ugh. It's both so unsurprising and so sad that Athletics Kenya is basically just an awful and incredibly incompetent federation.
  13. How many young people watch TV instead of stuff on their mobile devices though? If you truly want to reach young people, one might assume 30-second highlight videos on TikTok might be enough..
  14. Wait, your national broadcaster shows sports during the Olympics?
  15.

  17. That would be rather sad and very irresponsible from Athletics Kenya (again). It's not his responsibility to get tested....it's his responsibility to make sure he doesn't test positive, but being tested is on the federation. On every side this smells like they just don't want him there even though he rightfully qualified.
  18. That's why we should make the DL broadcasts half an hour shorter, then there's more space to show all events !
  19. Loved his interview from the car at the end: "I can see all of these orange fans on the left now, all just coming to support McLaren."
  20. Hopefully he'll be able to put up more of a fight than in the races in Austria (and probably he will), because those were just as boring when it's about the winner At least yesterday it was interesting behind Verstappen.
  21. Can the four final/deciding matches be rewatched anywhere (spoiler free)? I believe I saw FIBA only has live streams of the press conferences on YouTube, that's not exactly what I'm looking for Good spoiler-free highlight videos are fine too.
  22. Not at all, if I was I wouldn't be fascinated by something that'd be entirely normal for me then Last time any needle went into anywhere was in 2019 (vaccinations to go to Brazil) and before that 2009 (vaccinations to go to Brazil), no worries.
