Also, there is no way you are ever going to set a decent time in a temporary pool, rather than a fixed one.

The Pentathlon Stadium just makes an impression of WOW! I was in Budapest at 2019 WCH - it gives you this WOW, that it's possible to make such a job.

 

From the practical point of view - it's on the same side as Beijing 2008 or Sochi 2014 Opening Ceremonies.

First, every single one of our canoeing specialists had to change their discipline, European and World Champions had to forget about sprints and learn longer distances, jump into different boats, neve

Ah yes, the youthful and hip sport of golf.   I think the IOC needs to concede to either cut sports/events or increase the total number of athletes to around 12,000. That's how many athlete

Congratulations, you just cursed everyone.   They'll find a way to round it down to 10000 now     Can't wait for Squid Game to become an Olympic sport in 2032

I was thinking: if I won the lottery, could someone build one in my garden?

More about the obstacle race. Basically, it is a hostile annexation of an Olympic sport by a non-Olympic sport.

 

“Tomorrow they will all have the chance to race over the course, built on site in collaboration with World Obstacle (FISO) and Tokyo Broadcasting System Television (TBS), which owns the rights to the hugely popular SASUKE / Ninja Warrior TV show, and Spartan Race, the world’s largest obstacle event producer with over 5 million finishers.”

UIPM President Dr Klaus Schormann said: “UIPM has undertaken a comprehensive and transparent process to transform Modern Pentathlon into one of the most popular, accessible and exciting sports on the Olympic programme.

 

At least now modern pentathlon is "one of the most popular" Olympic sports. :d

Excellent choice. I mean, nobody outside the tiny modern pentathlon community will actually care (or ever hear about this change), but it's still better than the riding-on-random-horses-nonsense :p

World domination of pentathlon starts now :hyper:

naaaa...the correct claim is: "7 hours of commercial-free football start now!" (and it's every Sunday at 7 p.m. CET) :lol: :roflmao: :cheer:

 

otherwise you have to pay for the royalties...:whistle: :facepalm:

      Speed Skating ISU World Cup 2024 - 2025

      Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.

      The news then is that she has not yet been arrested? I suppose Camila when she returns to Italy will have a very unwelcome visit from the Guardia di Finanza.

      Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.
