Lamar Taylor :BAH wins his NOCs first medal of the Games…and it’s gold in the men’s 50m backstroke!

:ISV leading after the first quarter in women’s basketball. I’m honestly torn between watching and not watching :zip:

I can’t even figure out what to type right now. I didn’t expect this at all. Just, wow! :hyper:

 

I never expected a team sports gold medal to be a reality when I started following/cheering for USVI in 2019. I wanted to cheer for a smaller NOC so I could experience big moments like this. It isn’t always easy to find info about the team, athletes, and sports culture on the islands. My fandom isn’t as strong as I’d like it to be sometimes, and I haven’t even been able to visit the islands yet. There have been many close calls with success over the last few years. It was tough watching events knowing the athletes you’re supporting are unlikely to win (at least coming from the USA). I can’t speak for the island, but I can’t even fathom what a moment this is for the players and fans. I’m just so happy for them. Here’s to more more years of supporting underdogs :toast:

Confirmed with Pan AM Aquatics, the combined scores of the team technical and free finals will be used to determine Santiago qualifiers

 

 
Mexico 248.6469 + 203.0925
El Salvador 135.2383 + 164.2529
Cuba 122.5708 + 149.0267
Aruba 113.3375 + 172.6517

 

So this confirms :MEX :ESA :ARU get the three team spots.

    • Rather negative     Both towards Vollering and towards the coach, who has been making a mess of this for years now (like Tokyo). Vollering literally said "it was not good for me that Markus and Vos were still in the front towards the end"     One of the most well-known journalists (albeit a bit of a drama queen, but in this case, he's right): "Absurdly bad race by Vollering. Unbelievable."   An entire analysis titled "Vollering only thought of herself and threw away and almost certain Dutch medal": https://www.wielerflits.nl/nieuws/demi-vollering-dacht-alleen-aan-zichzelf-en-verspeelt-vrijwel-zekere-wk-medaille-voor-nederland/   Vollering: "They were all riding just to make me lose"   https://www.gelderlander.nl/video/productie/vollering-mij-laten-verliezen-wk-zurich-772648?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F   The 100th time Vollering shows she should simply not be in a team like this. It is always trouble, every single time. We need a team with like 6 Marianne Vos clones, she has the experience, she can read a race like absolutely nobody else in the world can and she plays her role, whether that's the team captain or working for someone else, without complaining and to the fullest extent.   Vollering is the exact opposite of Vos. Vollering rides for Team Vollering, which consists of Demi Vollering. No matter what.
    • What did Dutch press make out of it? It was one of the worst "teamworks" I have ever seen in cycling.
    • There is a ton of evidence, even if you don't believe the Bible is real,  that israel is our ancestral land.  And we simply took what's ours.  And in fact there was never anyone named Palestinians there.   Simply a name given to the region by the Roman's.  But the actual people is just a collective of individuals from different Arab countries where they were kicked out from.  And we are expected to cater to them.   There are plenty of other countries that should take them.   Iran, qatar, Iraq, Kuwait, Yemen, Algeria,  libiya, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco to name a few.   
    • Completely lost track of when the other final, but I just finished watching the pre-recorded version of it.   Team “Magic Mike” McEwen defeated Team Gushue 8-3 to win his third title (and in a row) of the season. 
    • Massive win indeed, a 80+ kilometer solo in the world championships, damn  (I mean, Sivakov jumped with him to try and help him of course, but couldn't do anything but sit in his wheel until he got dropped )
    • If even Erdogan calls you a psychopath, you're probably been....bad.    
    • Meanwhile:         https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maher_al-Assad
    • Sure, some things are simply historical events retold with a kind of fantasy layer over it, to make it more appealing to read and/or - most importantly - to put some lessons into it, which is fine (and which is the main way to read most religious texts, as 'lessons' and messages by the writers instead of actual historical facts). But let's not pretend that things like Moses splitting the sea or the entire exodus have a significant historical basis, based on actual evidence. Anyway, like I said: I'm well aware people who believe the religious book of their choosing is a historical book aren't going to ever believe otherwise, I grew up in a town full of similiarly minded people
