Not a single mention of Ice Hockey World Champs and subsequent officialized Olympic qualification for Beijing...:(

 

anyway interesting idea guys. :yes Definitely going to follow this on a regular basis

You know, sometimes I just forget about events. The ICC World Cup, ANOC Beach Games, and Rugby Sevens World Series were all last minute editions. It also happened the weekend before so it was kind of in a gray area.

Now I wonder if @heywoodu has a strong Dutch accent. :d

I’m curious what you guys thought about the way I speak English. Supposedly there’s actually a branch of English in California that’s becoming more and more distinct from other parts of the language.

Well, I'm wondering what would you say about my English. Is it more British or American? I never know.

I'm fairly sure my Dutch accent is a lot stronger than for example @Vojthas's Polish accent, of which I was surprised it was (to my untrained ear) almost non-existent :p

Sounded pretty fluent to me, almost native.

Well I’ve heard a lot of Europeans speak English because the Air Force base near where I live is a NATO affiliated one I believe. I know we’ve at least had Danish, Dutch, Scottish, and German families in town (and at my old high school) before. So if I didn’t know where you lived I would’ve said Brazilian accented English in all honesty, but it sounds close to the German accented English too. Your English is closer to American English though I would say. 

@dcro I don’t know if @heywoodu would have a strong accent because Dutch is the closer language to English, and from the Dutch kids I’ve heard speak English, they are all (at least when they come here for the 2 year stay or whatever) highly fluent and have a barely noticeable accent.

Pretty much the one accent I've heard for so long now (almost 11 years) I would definitely not mistake this one for :d

Ywah, not bad for elementary school level 

I’m going to find a way to blacklist the podcast in Croatia. It shouldn’t be hard, I’ll just watch out for those people wearing ugly checkers.

    • grab the final men’s quota so arguably the top two favourites on each side qualified 
    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.
    • Puripol Boonson seizes home men's 100m sprint gold after going sub-10 seconds in heats   https://www.olympics.com/en/news/sea-games-athletics-mens-100m-final-results-puripol-boonson   First Southeast Asian to go under ten seconds in the 100 meters.
    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams
    • Write-up on the Gisin story.   Olympic champion Gisin undergoes cervical spine surgery after crash
    • Seriously wish Bialystok will be banned from any European competition and for long time.
    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
