Please speak for yourself! Why are people on here so desperate?

Because if your on this forum you’re most likely not rolling in ladies (or dudes, that’s perfectly okay too)

VPN Czech ČT Sport, they will cover the whole races from 22:35, or Slovak TV but they will start the transmission at 22:55

no, they're just men of a certain age...and so they have to go to sleep early...:rofl:

man! the race is going to end at about 3.30 a.m. local time...:hyper:

 

Now then, I'll pretend to be of a certain age too and follow their example. :old:

I mean, is no one else frankly disgusted that athletes are forced to race in the middle of the night? That is quite awful for spectators too obviously.

 

I just can't believe that an Olympic sports federation could EVER put their athletes in such position...

 

Racing during the day would be even more exhausting tbh. But hey, the football World Cup will be held in December and they will play at night too :wacko:

Wow the „girl“ who won the hammer throw is huge ... she probably ate the Swedish discus thrower ...

This would be funny except for the fact she’s struggled with her body image her entire life :redcard:

Well, seems like German people also use stereotypes :p Obviously hammer throwers wouldn't stand a chance of winning Miss Universe :evil:

But then again, it's still 30+ degrees at night. :wacko:

 

Racing in such conditions is downright unhealthy. Medical tent looked like one from a war zone yesterday, according to our federation.

yeah, that's the drama of all of us, big men and women...

 

sometimes you would only like to have a good laugh at this condition, but most likely you are just not in the mood because of all bullying and discrimination you've suffered through your life...

 

not an easy situation, whatever side of the medal you look at...

Ok, sad to hear that. I think you are still young? so it could still happen for you (if that is your goal), but I don’t get why people here are freaking out over half naked bodies they see on TV. Don’t you guys see something like that every day in real life (at least during the summer)?

Good. If you are fat, then lose weight, otherwise you will always be a burden for society.

    • Who do you think was worse: Netanyahu or Ariel Sharon?
    • Finally done    ICC issues arrest warrant for Benjamin Satanyahu/  Gallant for  Gaza war crimes   Satanyahu and Gallant are at risk of arrest if they travel to any of the 124 countries that signed the Rome statute establishing the court     this is the list of 124 countries : https://asp.icc-cpi.int/states-parties    
    • https://www.fantaski.it/news/2024/11/22/tommaso-sala-si-rompe-il-crociato-in-allenamento.asp   Now the entire Italian team will be hanging on Vinatzer, who will finish maybe 30% of the races in the season. Tragedy. Sala was not an outstanding skier, but he could have made it to the top 10 several times. The biggest debacle in slalom in decades is coming  This winter seasons haven't even started yet but I'm fed up with him. We have regression in every discipline, Vittozzi disease, disaster in men`s alpine skiing, what else? Unfortunately, we have been much better in summer sports than in winter sports recently.
    • Tense men's semi but  10  8 after 11.      made a 3 in the 10th!
    • Violette Braun is the first  woman in a World Cup since 2009. Today she obliterated the NR in the 1500 by 3 seconds (2'04) on a rather slow track. Second 1500 ever for her, first was in Inzell a few weeks back (2'07) with what seemed like very good conditions.   It means a lot of room for improvement and a good sign for the 3000 which is her real strong event at the moment - she lacks basic speed but had one of the fastest final laps today, 10th over Div A and B. Faster last than penultimate lap must be quite unusual too.
    • When? I understand this is a joke about this great job 
    • The same thing happened after Turin 2006. That hall later was never used for skating competitions again, only the Indoor ECH in athletics was organized there once in 2009 and that was it. After that it was only used for commercial fairs etc. It will be the same with Milan. Regarding the indoor arena in Collalbo, it was a great idea to make it an Italian center of skating sports for many years: good location, high altitude, tourist town. Well, but according to the organizers, it`s not worth doing it, but why? Why is`t not worth doing anything here but Germany has a similar track in Inzell and it is possible there? They should hire a good manager who will develop a plan for them to make it worth doing. The same is with the bobsleigh track in Cortina. It was also not worth renovating it and if Salvini's and other big politics and determination hadn`t come into it, the competition would probably have been in Austria or St. Moritz.   The cooperation with the Netherlands is probably only supposed to concern short track. Besides, this cooperation will not do anything if we don`t have at least one indoor track for training in the summer and early autumn. The Dutch Federation isn`t a charity and will not build us infrastructure for free so that we can train on it. There are no miracles. It`s probably more about taking advantage of the opportunity to train with someone like Fontana, who is a legend in short track. After 2026 this cooperation will end, when she leaves.
    • For Ghiotto to win 2 golds at the Olympics, he would have to be the second van der Poel or Sablikova in they pick of form. You have to be a genius to beat this whole coalition of Norwegians, Dutchmen etc. However, I don't see that much talent in him. I'd like to be wrong, but I'm afraid that he'll end up with some silver-bronze in the 10 km and that's it. If he starts losing to Eitrem now, who is 22 years old, it won't bode well for the future, and there's also Roest + maybe another Dutchman will jump out. Generally, our team is poorly prepared for this season and it's not like Ghiotto is on individual training on the moon and has just come down to earth and will now win everything while the rest of the team are in terrible form. Of course, the lack of form of Bosa or Trentini means e.g. 20th place, not 10th, but for Ghiotto it could mean 4/5 place, instead of 1st. It's the same with the team. For today, the only positive performance for us is Lollobrigida's 2nd place in the b category of the women's 1500 meters and Fontana's solid performance in the same event. The rest is terrible.
    • Costantini & Mosaner will back to play together for the frist time since Beijing 2022 Our NOC and Federation do an amazing work.
