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.

I know there’s only like 2,500 Qatari police officers at the fences around the course...

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.

I honestly can't answer all those questions. I don't care about cars and think Formula 1 is boring + i think driving a car is bad for the climate, so i am boycotting everything that has to do with cars.

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.

 

 

Ok i get it. This is also the reason why i always hated Michelle Jenneke, Simone Biles and Katinka Hosszu.

Huh? You just said F1 is interesting and everyone loves fast cars? Now you say it's boring?

 

I watch F1 since 1991 so listen to what I say. Spa Francorchamps, Budapest & Silverstone are the best attended F1 races year after year. If Germans won't come to athletics WCh in Budapest it's because the German team is in decline and there are low expectations. I'm pretty sure Polish fans will flood the place to take the spot vacated by Germans. The entire Europe will come here since Hungary is easily reachable from every corner of the continent.

Hopefully that will be enough. In Germany we have news about women being raped by immigrants almost every week. I also have to say that it is kind of disrespectful by all those women to walk the streets so late at night with almost nothing on. They are guests over there, so they should accept the dress code of the country that gave them such a warm welcome.

Yeah, before i was trying to speak from the perspective of an average guy, who likes nothing more than fast cars, meat and naked women.

I don't think that the german team is in decline + it is difficult to say what state the german team will be in come 2023, but if that keeps german fans away from Budapest, then i am fine with it. Many german people have made bad experiences with Hungary (for example Hungary was very hostile when german people wanted to visit them about 75 years ago), so i think most german people wont be very eager to go there again.

It's funny since when I last visited Hungary I could communicate faster with the the locals in German rather than English :p That tells me Germans are visiting the damn place too :evil:

    • 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.
