  1. Hopefully one day (although sadly I doubt it) this will be the normal situation: simply living their regular life like anyone else, without excplicitly 'having' (according to society) to announce them being anything else than straight. Not sure if I'm wording this exactly how I mean it, so just to be clear: what I mean is that I hope one day (which sadly doesn't seem to be close) being gay, bi or anything is considered just as normal by society as being straight, and it's not a matter of 'if you don't explicitly come out, you must be straight' anymore.
  2. Every race where Poromaa is beaten is a nice one (considering his pathetic comments towards biathlon), so this seems like a nicely surprising result
  3. It's fun to always see super strong anti-EU sentiments....but then people and countries who seem to be strongly against it, are the ones eating up the billions of euros in subsidies like candies
  4. Is it the same as here? Usually the people here who are pro-Putin are exactly the same kind of people who are anti-vax, anti-EU, believing in every single conspiracy, from the moon landing being a hoax to 9/11 to Pizzagate
  5. Maybe send a fax to the Germans, with a bit of luck they get it through there unimaginably aged systems (like one of the hundreds of faxing machines in the parliament building) in time to help
  6. Ice hockey player (former NHL and KHL) Konstantin Koltsov , also the boyfriend of Aryna Sabalenka since 2021, suddenly passed away in Miami (where I assume he was with Sabalenka) aged 42.
  7. I only know and so far I've heard a few others when playing the playlist, but no idea which country those were and they didn't really impress my anyway (I assume France was one, because it was something like 'mon amour' this and 'mon amour' that )
  8. Same here And it's a matter of agreeing to disagree, which is of course fine. Anyway it's going to be good in Paris.
  9. Yep, that's what I meant with her being very much a contender in the big mix. There's a whole bunch of contenders who have all worked super hard for it (presumably all of them 'want it the most', and that kind of thing), and if there's one unpredictable event, it's the keirin. Gonna be fun, at least 10-15 riders have a significant medal shot and the fight for gold is most likely going to be fantastically tight
  10. Yep, yet another one of many, many contenders for the medals.
  11. Nah, even in North Korea the winner gets a win with 99.98% of the votes or so I guess those 13% for non-Putin in Russia are the people who managed to vote without an armed military person in the voting booth with them.
  12. One would imagine the chances may increase a little bit if it turns more into a combat sport, so not with controlled hits and such. Real fighting might be more...urban
  13. Obviously, there's no way any one of those should be in Qatar at all, I assume we all agree on that. I meant I wouldn't even have been surprised if Qatar would build a new stadium for every single one of these events (they most likely won't, but...it is Qatar).
  14. Wait, they're not going to use more slaves to build new stadiums for every single one of these World Cups?
  15. Nice weekend of short track skating, too bad the DJ messed things up between and even during races. Wonder how many people will leave with tinnitus
  16. being in 's way and being in 's way at one of the exchanges
  17. The result of that is that will have to do the relay with the line-up with which they got a 3rd place in the World Cup, followed by a win, a win and another win. Plus without Schulting the chance of actually getting a result is bigger anyway
  18. Koreans screwing each other in short track, one of the all-time classics
  19. It's about time they make the kick finishes illegal, where someone finishes with the skate up and the back of the skate in the ice. It's causing so many delays due to the ice having to be fixed.
  20. Especially the keirin, few events have so many contenders, with the biggest 'favourite' probably still having only like 10% chance
  21. Yeah, especially after those issues in the prone shooting (which were so odd, standing was fine) it's awesome to see how she fought back I do feel for Tandrevold for really letting it slip through her hands in the last weeks, but overall I'm enjoying this fight, I'd be happy with both of them as overall winner (different than that year with Vittozzi vs Wierer, where I was very strongly cheering for Vittozzi...), so it's a win-win situation for me as viewer
  22. Thanks! I'll look at it tomorrow I think, since right after my post Tiz-cycling went back up and had the link to UCI's YouTube video (which is unlisted, so one needs the link)
  23. Anyone have a clue where the UCI stream of day two can be found? I'd check Tiz-cycling, but their website is down again
