Cycling - Tour de France!  Also Tour de Hongrie.

 

Speedway - Grand Prix starts at last!   Innovative double header from Wrocław tonight & tomorrow.  With fans!  The great thing about SGP is that every single heat of every single round counts towards the overall.
 

Rugby League - 5 Super League matches over the weekend, unfortunately it is Catalans Dragons’ turn to have a quarantine break.

 

Athletics - Lots of National Champs this weekend, inc Sweden, Poland, Ukraine.

3 out of the 5 power conferences are playing (SEC, ACC & Big 12). The other two (Big Ten & PAC 12) are not. The Big Ten is considering starting in November, but they have no plan in place at this point.

Hopefully they will be embarrassed into playing. Will be losing megabucks.

More 2016 Summer Paralympic Games replays today. I’m still making my way through Day 1, so probably some Cycling, Powerlifting, and Swimming this weekend. I spent this week watching all the 7-a-side action from Day 1. I’m a little bummed it was kicked off the program for Tokyo 2020 because I really enjoyed watching it. I like the rule modifications they make for it too (30 min. halves, no offside, smaller goals).

For some reason I finally decided to watch the 2011 Asian Winter Games opening ceremony tonight. 
 

During the Parade of Nations, volunteers lined the walk way waving flags from all the countries of Asia. One flag in particular stuck out (sorry for the bad screenshot):

PR China must have lost their shit :p

 

Edit: I made rare geography mistake. I forgot this was the old Burma flag, which @intoronto kindly pointed out to me. I’m going blame that mistake on age, but it was just a mental lapse.

    • Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Let's do this for a country that is not actually that good in winter sports as well as our Olympic Committee Declining lots of places.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
