Gosh, never realized that you were still a teen. I remember being one of, if not the, youngest active member on GamesBids way back during the 2014 bidding process and now you’re telling me there are super active members here who are almost a decade younger than I am? That feels weird xD

 

To at least another 5000 posts :D

Yep turning 19 in just over a month. I have some really cool birthday facts I’ll tell then. I did actually find the GamesBids forums last week (and noticed they use the engine/platform we do), but it didn’t seem nearly as good as this. I’m here to date people (as in making them feel old) :p

 

No, I’m making like Bolt and Marcel and stopping while I’m ahead. 10,000 will signal my retirement. Jk

I know right, if we'd celebrate every 5000th post with a book we'd spend half our lives writing.

Kidding of course @Olympian1010, congrats and lovely post to read :cheer: 

 

I didn’t want to waste the occasion on American Football, so I went all in :p. I’d been planning that since Saturday when I noticed I was getting close.

Cool that my complaints made you hooked by the way, sorry :d 

I was naive. I actually thought you were a Brazilian Weightlifting fan because of your avatar :lol:

 

It really did make me interested though. I had very similar feelings. Plus, if was kind of a “fuck it” moment when I joined.

Well your avatar was the Brazilian flag with what appeared (to me) to a bar lifting (kind of an optical illusion). I actually thought this for about my first 6 months on the forum.

GamesBidders are mostly old folks tho :p

 

The only thing I missed from there is the logo competition despite I can only mess around with Photoshop and hopefully produce something good enough :lol:

@Olympian1010 Nice post Matt. Thanks for the mention, it's very nice to be part(even a small part) of your history here

 

Interesting that we found the forum at the same way. :thumbup:

    • Italy will boycott the Azeri stage for protest against the international federation.
    • Likely for Tannheimer, quite unlikely for Galmace Paulin. She's far from being assured to even start in the WC before turning 20. Basically she'd have to get a spot this season, which could actually happen if she takes the extra-ticket at the JWCH. Anyway I don't see her making her way to gold in Oslo. Tänglander has a few seasons to do it, we'll see.       Quite surprisingly so, indeed. Barring her horrendous finish Richard would have made it 2 in one go. We should have some more names in the list in 2025.
    • There are some of Slovakia's finest young squads at the World Juniors in recent years
    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
