I was just looking for something related to olympics. I just saw the name and thought it's a news site about Olympic. Then maybe after a half an hour I decided to register. So I am here.

Similar to what happened to me honestly

Writing on forums has been on a downhill trend for years now. We shouldn't kid ourselves, we are in the minority here. :d Whenever i say to someone "forums", the response is "are you living 20 years in the past". Everything is facebook and instagram now (sadly).

I think Facebook is in the downhill trend as well.

 

I don't think if Totallympics opened 10 years before we would have many more users now. We are a niche forum and social networks are very generalists. The level of quality of sports discussion on Facebook and Instagram is crazy low :d

I think chat rooms have replaced forums too. Discord, WhatsApp, Messenger, etc. are much more popular than forums now, and, at least from my experience running our podcast Discord, they run better and function similarly.

    • Let's not act as if these things never happen before. Serbia's cross-country skiing drama a week before the Olympic qualifying for Beijing ended: FIS | Cross-Country Results - Zlatibor (SRB) 2021/2022   Drndic with a DNF, despite being - on paper at least - the best athlete. She didn't just 'not finish', she stepped out barely 50 meters before the finish, because if finishing, the points for her competitor would have been better due to the way points are calculated. Ended up with lots and lots of yelling and screaming and fighting and cursing, DNS the next day and in the end Serbia sent none of them.   This is not a shit move by Canada, this is a fault of the system at most.
    • Yes agreed, resetting it would help make it more dramatic as no one would be running away with it. We could also set it that there is a small reward for ranking higher after each round… maybe they start the next round with a “head start” so they bring a few points into the next round? But starting from scratch each round might be cleaner  
    • I like the concept a lot. My only worry would be that the nations doing the best individually would also end up at the top here as teams are only made up of pairs. Whereas in a bigger team it gives the nations not doing so well individually to have another chance if they are lucky enough to be placed in a good team. Any way we can balance it?
    • I thought about accumulating, but for higher drama it may be reset like in cycling track elimination races 
    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
