Yeah , I wish Beach Taekwondo could make it to final list.

Beach Poomsae is the one type of Poomsae I find tolerable. I like to see the incorporation of some of the Asian Beach Games events into the games like, Beach Athletics, Coastal Rowing, and Powerboating (or Jetski). Plus maybe Beach Rugby, Beach Croquet or Woodball, and Obstacle Course.

again Qatar is the host  :wacko:

In this class they were the best option. San Diego pulled out with 5-6 months to go, and Qatar stepped out. They are the only reason these games still exist.

Here’s a what the skate park will look like:

Overall a very safe, standard design. Nothing all that interesting about the park. No unique features to speak of. Probably means that it will be a spin fest. I can never really tell until the skaters ride it though, so I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Not exactly a shinning advertisement for games :p

The Local Organising Committee (LOC) has confirmed that some of the world’s best athletes from all five continents will be competing for 350 medals in 14 disciplines across 13 sports.

1 Week To Go!

 

...And the results system is already published :clap:

 

I don’t know much about the Bornan system because they are a relatively new system. However this system is the same as the one used at the African Beach Games (which was pretty usable). Their systems also seem to be hardy, but can be a bit slow.

...And :RUS has selected a 10 year old for Skateboard :p. I can tell this competition is being taken semi-seriously becuase the athletes are generally ancient by skateboarding standards (20-24 years old), but they’re are still a few Sky Brown’s hanging around.

Half of all skateboarders are younger than :yikes:. In fairness, my age is changing soon...

    • Earthquake in San francisco , not strong but yeah mixed to fire looks like dancing Samba           
    • I feel like the shooting coaches are doing something terribly wrong. A good example is Hanna Öberg who started her career as best in the individual event (where shooting is more important) winning 1 olympic and 2 world titles despite not being a very good skiier. Suddenly she was one of the better skiiers (not this season) but very unstable shooter.    i think they practice to little on competition-like circumstances and too little in bad weather conditions too. And maybe need mental help. The coaches when interviewed have been talking for years how good Ponsilouma is at shooting both during off-season training and in the pre-race warm up shooting. Still terrible shooter in competition even if some of his very few successes have been in the most important races
    • As a Mediterranean, it makes me very strange that Prague is not included in the project. Usually the Czech Republic is one of the pivots of Visegrad/Mitteleuropa. Am I missing something or some political controversy between the IOC and the Czech NOC?
    • many celebrities lost houses of 30 millions $ like paris hilton  This bastrd of james wood said we gonna exterminate Palestinians because they are poor ...now he is crying like a btch of losing his house   
    • This is winter , image how will be their summer T'chrump said we gonna burn the middle east to please the husband "Satanyahu" ...apparently his ass is burnning first   
    • Nah, I don't think that we'll have some problems.
    • The last time this happened - all three athletes on the podium had zero podiums before - was Les Saisies sprint in December 1990: Uschi Disl, Elena Melnikova (future Sergei Tchepikov's wife) & Kerstin Moring. The latter two never finished on the World Cup podium again. This was also the race where Disl became the second youngest World Cup winner ever (currently down to third because of Neuner).
    • In general almost all Fisi sports have been doing terribly this season. One debacle after another and the Colturi case completes the scale of embarrassment. Apart from single star like Goggia, Brignone or Pellegrino, only the alpine snowboard looks good.
    • Unfortunately the Italian men's team is poorly prepared for the season. Everyone is in terrible shooting form. Somewhere a mistake was made in the preparations. We are recording a big regression compared to the previous season. It`s becoming more and more likely that we will not stand on the podium even once this season (I can't remember the last time something like that happened). In the Nations Cup we are in 6th place and we may lose 6 starting places in the World Cup from next season. I`m increasingly worried about what will happen in the Olympic season. Without Vittozzi returning to top form, we completly will not count.    In general our entire winter season looks very bad: biathlon as above, cross-country skiing - still only Pellegrino, luge - poor form, alpine skiing without Goggia and Brignone doesn`t exist.
