I'll see if I can write a short Tour de France review if you're interested. 

Sorry, just saw this. Thanks, for the offer though. If any user ever wants to write something as a guest or wants to be a full fledged reporter we have plenty of room on the site. @heywoodu I hope my lateness doesn’t discourage you or other users I’m the future, so sorry about that. We could always use some new writers every now and then. Anyone is welcome.

I’d like to know a few things for research, so if users could answer my questions by quoting this post that’d be great :yes.

 

A few quality control and enhancement questions:

How often do you read Totallympics Media?

Do you see Totallympics Media as a legitimate news source?

Would you be willing to read Totallympics Media more often?

How do you prefer to receive sports news;  written articles, audio service, or video services?

What would you like to see more of on Totallympics Media?

How often do you read Totallympics Media? 

Not very often, but that's entirely due to my days being too short - apart from the general responsibilities one has (work, study etc), I'm watching sports and suddenly it's really time to sleep..

 

Do you see Totallympics Media as a legitimate news source?

For smaller events and sports, yes. For major events and big sports I'd probably look at the large, professional websites who simply have way more opportunities to bring news fast. My personal opinion would be that something like Totallympics Media has nice chances to fill a 'niche' (reporting on things the major news outlets don't), much like Totallympics in general does.

 

Would you be willing to read Totallympics Media more often?

If I'd have the time, definitely.

 

How do you prefer to receive sports news;  written articles, audio service, or video services?

Written, mostly. I've noticed throughout the years I end up thinking 'I'll listen/watch that later' and then just forgetting about it.

 

What would you like to see more of on Totallympics Media?

Interviews with athletes or some sort of background specials and whatnot.

Thanks for the responses :thumbup:. I have a very exciting interview dropping later today or tomorrow.

How often do you read Totallympics Media?

Maybe once or twice a week. I did read a lot when the Pan American Games was running and enjoyed it. Time is an issue for me and it doesn't get better when I go back to my studies again. 

Do you see Totallympics Media as a legitimate news source?

Yes. Though, due to the smaller resouces you probably have, I still mostly find and read my sports news on bigger sites. 

Would you be willing to read Totallympics Media more often?

Yes, especially if there were more interviews with athletes and more focus on smaller sports, both Olympic and non-Olympic. 

How do you prefer to receive sports news;  written articles, audio service, or video services?

Mostly written, but lately I have started to listen to some podcasts. Most of them focus on one topic or is a long interview with an athlete about his/her career from the beginning to now. 

What would you like to see more of on Totallympics Media?

As I have written in my answers to question 3 and 4, some background stories about athletes. Interviews with current Olympic athletes, or more intereting, interviews with young athletes who dream of becoming an Olympian one day. Interviews on tape would be very welcoming. :)

Guys we are seriously in need of more reporters. If you, or anyone you know would be interested; please them my way. We’re trying to cover 30 events in two weeks, and that’s impossible with only 2 full time reporters and 2 currently non-available part time reporters.

      I think that It's a similar situation with Braahten in Norway but there are some differences:     - he's an adult, - his mother is Brazilian, - Norway has a lot of talent in technical events (although of course it's always better to have 1 more than 1 less).

      Well, we lived through Caroline Wozniacki representing Denmark and there was some talk if she could switch to Poland early on but she said no since she lived her entire life in Denmark anyway. But she was very popular here. On the other side Angelique Kerber who also has Polish ancestry actually lived in Poland on her grandfather's estate (which was a tennis academy). In the last few years except Eugenia Bujak (cycling) switching to Slovenia due to a conflict with the federation we don't really have such cases. I can understand many Italians have their opinion on Colturi & her mother alas it's boosted by the lack of other top end prospects in your skiing now (and some other winter sports). I'm surprised Italian journalists haven't figured out what's behind Colturi's switch already because it has to be money or "personal differences" either way.

      Or is Girardelli respected in Austria these days...

      We must ask our Austrian users if they cheered for Girardelii. But do we have any Austrian users LOL?

      It's just that Austria had a lot of skiers in that time and we don't have any others among the young ones now.

      Marco Girardelli went to Luxembourg one day and he had a great career. I doubt he did regret that move.

      You know, but we still don't know what that was about. Ceccarelli has a difficult character but still changing colors to a country with which you have absolute no connetions? What would you say if Iga Swiatek fell out with the Polish tennis federation and started playing for Luxembourg or Andorra? Certainly not everyone would decide to take such a step, even if they had to give in a little in talks with the federation.    Another thing is that the Italian training system simply doesn`t work. As you can see, there are talents but we don`t know how to train them. Since the golden generation born in 1990-1995 (Brignone, Bassino, Goggia) we haven`t trained anyone who would stand on the podium in giant slalom or slalom in World Cup. So something is wrong. At the beginning of the 21st century we had a large group of good athletes in giant slalom (maybe not at Brignone's level): Karbon, Moelgg, Putzer, Gius, etc., who were able to win World Cups, win World Championship medals, etc. Now we have no one. In women's giant slalom for example: if Brignone and Bassino are gone, even getting to the first 20 in World Cup will be a problem for us.

      I remember that Lara Gut's family also had a conflict with the Swiss federation at the beginning of her career around 2008/2009 but it was resolved. I remember that the family also wanted to have a greater influence on their daughter's career. It was probably similar here. If there was a will from both sides, an agreement should have been reached. Especially since Colturi has zero ties with Albania. Sinner could have played for Austria sooner, as a person from South Tyrol.
