It’s a protest song FYI. There’s a lot meaning in that song and video (it’s satire), you can find explanations on YouTube.

Normal American Day: One school shooting has left a kid dead and multiple kids injured, video released of an police officer mistreating and then taking action that leads to a black woman’s death, an independent militia (which is an actual right granted in our constitution) says we should solve our immigration problem by gassing (as in gas chambers) immigrants, and on top of all of that our federal governments about to go to shit over a report that (even from my highly left view) proves nothing we didn’t know, besides that fact Trump’s an idiot and did try to skirt laws. So the Earth is literally dying, our students are, quite frankly dying, our constitution is dying, and asylum seekers are literally dying. 

I live in such a wonderful era of history (though as a student of history, I know that there isn’t many goods eras either).

This Is America.

Well, on paper USA has the fastest and strongest offensive. No doubts about. You are huge favs in that match too, but I don´t see the result being so high around 15-1 :d

 

In fact, sorry for this little off topic but..

I am really curious to see how you guys from NA will do on our ice, The Košice (where USA and CAN will play their first round) ice rink surface size is the largest in the country, this will require more skating. + the angles, the place behind the net and everything is totally different from the NHL North American ice rink sizes, that should be especially difficult to adapt for the goaltenders (we already saw yesterday Canada conceded 5 goals from Austria in the test game lol because the goalie had huge problems with reading the game).

The 3vs3 overtime on this ice size is also a absolutely different chapter, you have suddenly so much place on ice, this suit much more skilled players to show some nice tricks.

 

but overall, I mean, it´s not easy for NA player to get used to european rinks (and particularly to our "airport") so early, it requires some training sessions and matches. your players will certainly be surprised by the ice size when they will enter the the ice for their first training today :d

Why does bullshit news like this, about authorities being utterly idiotic, always seem to come out of Florida? :lol:

Because Florida is the only state where all arrest records are public. It’s a phenomenon we journalists call “Florida Man”. Some interesting stuff comes out of Florida arrests let me tell you. This is honestly a tame one.

Yeah I see Florida Man is something the internet came up with pretty nicely, even with a Twitter account to follow all these bullshit but kinda funny stories (and some really not funny but outright terrible ones).

    • 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  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
