How much further is California from Lausanne than Poland? :p Just one?

As I said, the box looks suspicious as hell, so I wouldn’t blame the customs people for holding it up and taking a look :p

Seems I spoke too soon :p


Found something waiting in a box on my doorstep after I got home from college today

The bag is a bit bigger than I expected. It’s a full on rainproof backpack really. The bag seems like a good, high quality bag. Logo/Olympic Rings on front and back. A nice little prize for sure. Pretty cool all-in-all.  
 

It comes in what is possible the shifty looking box of all-time :p

 

Box is labeled with a letter that features a small green line on it. Wording should be in French.

 

Honestly I am kinda disappointed since there is no letter from Lausanne 2020 which I can put in a frame :p

You got yours too then? Yeah, I was hoping some sort of letter, badge, pin, or something too. To be fair, it’s a nice bag (and it will be very helpful in wet weather since I inline skate to school) so I can’t really complain.

Yes I have, I had to pick it up from the central post office yesterday due to new shitty regulations.

@Olympian1010 @Griff88 - no adventures with customs office? Lucky you. The bag is already in my post office, but I need to wait for it a little bit and give them a bunch of papers I don't have like... confirmation of payment. Fuck Polish burocracy.

Lol lemme tell you my story:

I delayed the retrieving for 2 days because the customs imposed heavy tax and I studied the regulations to make sure I'm not being scammed by the customs. Turns out the amount was correct.

To make things worse, if the bag arrived a day earlier the old tax regulations will be still in force and it will be like 20-25% cheaper.

 

Shit, quiz winners should be exempt from tax. I feel like I'm not winning, it's more like I'm buying this bag on discount. But since I had to stay until 1 AM to win this (while being sick), I decided to take it

I didn’t have problems with customs or tax. Guess the US ain’t so bad then :p

Yep, I have my displayed in my room next to my media credentials and Volunteer shirts. I actually used it the other day because it was raining on my way to school.

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
