He’s not going to be President in 2021, so I don’t know how he intends to attend :p

 

 

1. I wouldn't be sure of this (sadly).

2. He can attend even if he isn't President anymore. :p

Beginning to feel like I’m in the minority as a Bach supporter :p

Bach should just not be allowed to speak in public ever again.

I actually don’t dislike Bach. I know, I’m essentially a Satanist on here. However, (and here comes cancel culture for me) I feel like he’s done so much good for the Olympic movement.

I stopped giving any sympathy to him since that "breaking" and "e-sports" youthful stuff.

 

If I had the power, I would push him from the tribune in any given chance during any opening ceremony.

I think his addition of Breaking was quite rushed, but it will be interesting to see if it has the desired affect. E-sports does need to be looked into, sorry, it does. Surfing and Skateboarding were logical additions. I like the gradual reforms he’s made to the YOG. I think he improved the bidding process. I don’t like his cult of personality, but his strong character has been good for image.

Not that sure about improved bidding process... Nowadays it's just raise of hands and no transparency whatsoever in order to save face from referendums

Which, like it or not, was necessary to save face.

    • Lots of injuries, including often just pure bad-luck stuff like a fall from a set of stairs, illness, and of course the Sochi tragedy in 2014: one of her biathlon friends, young Julia Pieper, killed herself with a biathlon rifle early during the Olympics (she wasn't on the team, but was a training partner of both Preuss and Dahlmeier). Obviously a hard hit, which led to terrible Olympics for Preuss, with a DNF, awful results in her other individual races and a relay where she was the first runner for Germany, but fell early on, got snow in her rifle and broke a pole and ended up losing almost 3 minutes, which in turn resulted in Germany being off the podium for the first time ever.   After that came all the injuries and illness and everything. So glad to finally see her have her big individual global gold, that is so well deserved.
