These were the most random picks I have ever made in my life for Miscellaneous contests  Apart from few events I am familiar with, the rest were... It'll be interesting to follow the number of zeroes

Just noticed that you have Lasse Norman as the Danish participant in the men's omnium, @Wumo. It's Niklas Larsen for Denmark

I know we have another day left, before the contests are closed, but people need to pick it up.  We usually had 55-60 contestants in 2016 & 2018 Olympics and for know i see we are under 40. Let's go people!
