Why? lol

Your government seems to think it does :p (You were supposed to answer “No. Why?)

 

They built multiple new venues for the Asian Games. Now they want to build a new capital, and then build all new venues for the 2032 Olympics.

Don't worry we can ask for aid from Belt and Road Initiative ;)

Probably not what the IOC wanted to hear. I’d be surprised to see zero protests in the Tokyo this year. Protesting in Japan is dangerous though. Japan’s not a free as people think it is.

So it's gonna be Gangwon 2024 instead of Pyeongchang 2024, perhaps a last minute effort to convince North Korea by marketing the Games with the name of the split province

Best argument I’ve seen against the IOC athlete guidelines (published by Coventry (who many athletes already saw as a traitor before this)):

IOC also confirmed the Sapporo, Salt Lake, and Barcelona are interested in the 2030 Winter Olympics. Looks like it’s time for the Mormons to break out the checkbook again...

I think SLC (or maybe USOC?) tends to prefer 2034? So most likely it's gonna be Sapporo 2030 and SLC 2034 unless we have a better contender (Almaty's revival for example)

Deciding what is and isn’t a political statement is itself a political statement.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
