Meanwhile at the Vatican Ski Cross championships we see the Bishop of Monza seconds before being wiped out in a crash with the Bishop of Frankfurt...

That's alright, presumably they still have a lot to learn anyway. Like the fact that team events in biathlon don't mean you're shooting at the same target at the same time.

The rumours about the IOC election is that Samaranch and Coe are clearly the favourites now

[JoshMartini007 2,559]

I mean those were always the top 3 favourites. All this indirectly says is Coventry is probably out.

I'm guessing that INTERPOL-Searched Diack's BFF is losinbg badly, cause they dont have no choice but to resort to biased headlines.

I know the Anglo-World never liked Juan Antonio Samaranch and they're going to be the same with his son, but they should only be grateful to him, because if it wasn't for Don Juan and South Korea, we wouldn't get any Olympic Games nowadays

 

he did really save the Olympics from the delusions of omnipotence of the politicians ruling the World at that time and from the crazy race to extreme doping of the late Eighties...and if he did something that might be considered "controversial", those who followed him on the sport's more important armchair have been way worse (especially the 1976 Olympic Champion himself, who almost destroyed the Olympics)

Just out of curiousity and besides personal preferences for this or that sport or event: what exactly, concretely, did Bach do that 'almost destroyed the Olympics'?
