Bullshit. Events like 40 km mass start can no longer be added into Olympic program. They can just be removed, since IOC very much encourages short attention span events.

It’s weird to see my beloved distance sports almost becoming the bad boys of sport just like the X Games sports.

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.

 

There is a strong German athletics fanbase and I am sure a lot of them will travel to Budapest. Most of them are well informed about other nations and their athletes.

Oh come on, bronze for a tiny sports nation like Burkina Faso is worth much more than a few points in a prediction contest :p 

So happy for him.  I like it when an athlete from a little country wins a medal.  Very well done.

Question from earlier...

Cocho...

Does that mean something to you (May have spelled it wrong)

 

Well, its slang, and depending on the region, it means many differents things.

 

The Spanish Language Dictionary, defines it as another name for pigs, a derivation from "cochino", also used as "cochón" or "cochis" in some places, like Sinaloa (Mexico).

 

Also, I found that in other parts of Latin America, it is a name for different kinds of roasted flour.

 

It was also a denonym for the people of Tierra Caliente, in the current Mexican states of Michoacan and Guerrero, due to the color of their skin, as most of them had both, native American and African heritage.

 

However, most recently it isused in Mexico as slang for having sex, also spelled "cosho", "coshar".

Huh, my professor thought it meant vagina...cochino is also an insult I’m familiar with. I was practicing my Spanish with a girl from Nicaragua, and I accidentally said cochino instead of cocina (when doing kitchen vocabulary) and it didn’t end well for me :p

Well cochino is not necesarily an insult if you're refering to a farm animal, but I understand why the girl felt insulted :finger:

    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
