European runners can only compete in events with hurdles, in races without hurdles the african runners just have too much speed.

I though the saying went “White men can’t jump”, so now I’m just all kinds of confused. In all fairness this one of like 3-4 Olympic sports where Africans can win medals, so let’s not constantly complain about them maybe. If I started complaining about sports Europe dominates we’d be here for the next century.

They’ve done surprisingly well as of late I must say. Hats of to @Sindo for the behind the scenes work.

1) I think it is "White men (and women) can't run"

2) I didn't complain about Africa dominating. Even if they wouldn't dope, they would still dominate.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

At this point either everyone’s doping, or no one's doping, so either way it’s somewhat fair. Even if it goes against human rights and moral ethics. The quote I said is very popular in the US.

    • I thought the only continental quotas applied in track cycling was for the individual events - the team events were purely based on the rankings list
    • keeps its perfect qualification record in women's curling    definitively gave them a lot of gifts today. For their sake hopefully they can draw better against the  tomorow.
    • Obviously impossible to know in advance but in 2022 all ten skaters Canada qualfiied skated individually, and 9/10 competed in a relay as well.
    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
