Meanwhile at the IOC Session, the Lausanne 2020 rep said that "we will make sure to deliver the fantastic Games"

 

Yes... by not showing the first medal event :p

And not showing a huge part of medal events overall. And fuck equality, let's focus on a handful of sports and show a shitload of it, and totally ignore tons of classic winter sports' medal events.

To broadcast other sports they would need many more technicians and equipment (especially with outdoor sports). It would be utterly sensless to waste money like that for an event that nobody cares about, to be honest...

Then they should stop promoting it like the whole thing is such a big deal. My main issue is with IOC and everyone around it making this seem like a huge deal and bringing it like we can all enjoy all of the sports for two weeks, when in reality we can only see a handful of things and not more than results and some photos for the rest.

I get it less for the sliding events by the way. You don't need to show every corner, a handful of cameras is enough and they don't need to be expensive at all - that is, if St Moritz doesn't already have their own camera system they could piggyback on.

Why do french female athletes nowadays always have such exotic names?

Caitlin McFarlane, Melanie de Jesus dos Santos, Julia Pereira de Sousa-Mabileau ...

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

well, maybe that's true in some cases, but when they denied FIL and St.Moritz Track to use their always in place streaming service to integrate the OBS pictures for what concerns the Bob/Skeleton/Luge events, they did show their real nature and their real lack of interest in making the event as much "global" as they could...

 

add this to such a poor opening ceremony, the super-G course running less than a minute race for the girls (I can't imagine what the boys are gonna do...45 secs race?)...

 

to me, those Games are already over...too many more user-friendly (and important on an overall scale) events to follow...here's just not worth the effort...:facepalm::wall:

it's called "globalization"...people moving around the world and "contaminating" culture, habits and genetics of the places where they travel...:evil::pope:

    • 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  
    • Have you ever been to Israel? Because you can find historical evidence of many of the "stories"   And btw we are talking about 3000 years before us    
    • What a win, and what a year for this guy!
