I am not sure about german people travelling to Hungary. Hungary has a very bad reputation in Germany thanks to their racism and antisemitism. Many german fans will be afraid to go there + not many german people are crazy enough to travel halfway through europe to watch german athletes getting beaten by drug cheats from countries they never heard of before.

 

Bullshit. Hungarian Formula 1 Grand Prix is notoriously one of the best attended races of the year for a long time. I assume the ticket prices will also be cheaper than in Western Europe. Real sport fans don't give a fuck about politics & Orban.

Education is really that completely useless in Germany?

It definitely is in the US. I’d say 40-55% of Americans think Africa is country. Also 60-70% think other states count as foreign countries...

We know where Holland is, that must be enough.

Formula 1 is something completely different, because it is actually interesting to watch and everyone likes fast cars.

The girls in the 20 km race walking must have a really bad feeling wandering around alone in the dark at such a late hour. Hopefully none of them will be attacked by some creep.

You probably missed the constant bitching about lack of overtaking & Mercedes dominance in the hybrid era though? Plus it's not interesting enough to sustain a German GP when a German manufacturer collects titles like crazy. So I guess Germany doesn't love fast Mercedes cars enough.

Any specific reason for why you don't like Jamaica?

 

I just have never liked their athletes. They come across so fake to me, with the constant smiles, the hairs, the pandering to the fans, which Bolt started. Our commentators couldn't stop talking about SAFP and Elaine's haires the whole night...

 

They were nowhere until Bolt came and then everyone else after him in 2008 brought so much media/public hype, that i never liked. Even to this day, Jamaica rarely gets any negative press, even though their sprinters are just as shady as the americans. But they get a pass most of the time.

I disagree.

I respect your opinion and humbly agree with that. I am 100% not disagreeing with that. We completely agree. I have no argument here.

      Finals are set    An all-Canadian final on the women’s side, as Team Homan looks to win their third title of the season (and improve to 18-1) against a hungry Team Einarson who have had a less than ideal start to the season, they were also the last Canadian team to beat Homan over a year ago (same event coincidentally), while on the men’s side it’ll be a battle between Olympic medalists as Team Mouat goes against Team Gushue!

      yeah I know    I mean it wasn't a different team specific for that sport. it was the same CC team participating in both sports.

      from what I heard , Iran has registered to participate in Alpine, CC skiing, SkiMo, Skating (they didn't mention which discipline ) and ... (this one will be surprising ) ... Curling    Curling is not a sure thing yet, the NOC has to approve it. the team is very new. I mean very very new, only few months ago they gathered few people to start the sport  you can't lose 100-0 in Curling, right ?    anyway it will be first time ever Iran participating outside of FIS disciplines. ( I didn't count Ski orienteering in 2011 which was the same as CC)   nobody cares about winter sports here. therefore finishing last won't have consequences. they can afford sending very weak teams. (which is not the case for the main Asian Games)

      11 medals out of 15 athletes. for whatever reason  we sent an incomplete team of 16 athletes (only 1 left for tomorrow) I wish I knew why  I can guess though   the result is indeed very good in such a competitive sport but lack of talent was never our problem in taekwondo. it was always there probably much more than any other country.    but the problem is the transition to the senior team. most of previous junior world champions never even made the senior team. (the new federation is doing better in this regard though)
