Renata Voracova arrested now, after playing a warm-up tournament. You can only guess how many players (and regular people) had no problem with the exemptions, because they are not famous and can fly under the radar. Two-faced Australia now backtracking on their own absurd  rules and going full populism. If this was Russia, we know what internet and media would have been.

Novak Đoković, Li Na, Grigor Dimitrov, Pavel Levandovski, Maria Sharapova, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Agnieska Radwanska, Nikola Jokić, Janica Kostelić and so on, will never be on the same level with Andy Rodick, Andy Murray, Ronny O'Sullivan, Tiger Woods, Dirk Nowitzki, Bode Miller.... And only difference is their nationality. Marion Jones is great champion with a few wrong steps in career, but Suen Yang is satan himself.

I think the Voracova situation is crazy and makes Djokovic look much better now. It shows that Australia was allowing others who followed the same process in, and it was not just "arrogant Djokovic getting special permission because he is famous" as people were saying. Nobody is blameless in this situation, but now Australia looks very bad for originally allowing it and now changing their minds. It's too late for that. You can't give people exemptions and then revoke them. Going forward, they should be more consistent to avoid messy situations such as this.

But it's not Russia and the targets all from East Europe. So no one to blame.

Ah, the old times when you'd get at least 10 replies specifying that Czech Republic etc. aren't in Eastern Europe.

Nowadays, even on something completely unlerated to nationality, everyone is Eastern if they can play the victim of the Big Bad West :cry:

Australia is a mess. Their hard lockdowns measures look more desperate & unsuccessful the longer the pandemic lasts (and it will last for some years yet IMO).

 

Meanwhile French sport minister says French Open will allow unvaccinated players (including Djokovic himself of course) :lol:

…Marion Jones literally went to prison.

For lying to the FBI ;)

In an investigation about doping which lead to all her Olympic medals being stripped. The US government did all that legwork, not the IOC or WADA.

    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
