Months?

 

yes, I read an article about preventive censorship on their main online platforms like weibo and weChat that was performed since November in order to avoid any news about this "new virus" discovered in Wuhan spreading around the Country...

 

and if the central government was already excercising their censorship in November, it means that the virus was know by the authorities well before that date...

and Lithuania is now fucked as well.

 

Every single concert and event is cancelled, school is going to be stopped as well. Cinemas closed and any other activity with any fun included is also closed. 

 

I am completely out of work now with no ability to make any money from music with more than 14 cancelled shows in the next two months :)

 

It's safe to say that I am very willing to kill someone at the moment :):):)

Meanwhile in the Netherlands, there's another press conference by the prime minister coming up. Earlier this week, the major announcement was that from now on we're not shaking hands anymore, followed by him shaking hands on live TV with the health authorities director. I'm guessing today's big thing is going to be something like "instead of 1 meter, try to keep 1,5m between people".

Sorry to hear that bro...... Also being a training facing a lot of cancellations, still not a complete ban in India as of now ?

I'm just wondering when will I have the chance to gain those sweet 5kgs from the moment when they decide to close down all of the gyms, because they already did close them in Vilnius. 

 

My only hope is that I'll be losing some weight simply from starvation.

Technically I can't run in colder weather, because cold air affects my throat and I'm more susceptible to illnesses then. (hence, I have to be very careful, because regular concerts already strain that area, that's why my running season starts mid Spring and ends mid Autumn)

 

Seeing as all of my work is cancelled now, you're kinda right in me not having anything to worry about anymore so as long as we're not jailed in our houses, there's nothing stopping me now from running :d

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC
