I think my dream jobs at the moment would be to work for Vice News, Vox, or NowThis; or work for a sports federation. I’d love to be a reporter or journalist somehow. I’d love to work with other journalists in Syria, Afghanistan, DPR Korea, Ukraine, and elsewhere, but I love sports too much I think. I aced my first speech in my communications 101 class today, maybe I’ll post on the forum tomorrow since people really liked it. I seem to have a talent for writing and speaking. I guess I could become a corrupt politician too if I want :p

Writing, speaking, being a historian, reporting, climbing, cycling, running, debating....I'm curious if you dare name things you're not good at :p

Making friends, staying on task, time management, worrying too much, not being as financially independent as I should be, not always acting as mature as I should be, talking too much. I’m still human. I also quite shit at running and being a historian (I’m better at geography and sports history). 

 

I do try to live as DaVinci pointed out with his Vitruvian Man. I try my best to excel physically, mentally, spiritually, and most importantly humanly. (I don’t know why my font size shrunk here)

 

I don’t often brag about my abilities in “real” life, but I like to talk about them on here. I’d say I’m best at Writing, Speaking, Debating, Philosophy, and Geography if I had to choose my strongest fields of study. In terms of interest, history, climbing, skating, swimming, nature (natural studies), psychology, debating, politics, writing, and human nature are my favorite fields of study.

Hahaha around 100 people actually showed up at gates of Area 51 and protested today :lol:. Also, music festivals look to be successful.

Ok, I’m almost completely caught up on my multi-sports games results “database”. Today I need to add 2014 Comm Games and 2014 YOG and then I’ll be mostly caught up. The reason I’m posting is because there are few games that I’d like to have PDF or results book results for that I can’t find anywhere, so if anyone would be able to contribute the following that would be fantastic:

2015 Pan American Games

2015 European Games

2016 Asian Beach Games

2018 Asian Para Games

 

Thanks in advance.

@intoronto you wouldn’t happen to have the Toronto 2015 ones would you?

No unfortunately not, but you can use Wayback Machine and you can download them that way.


For ex, here is an archery one https://web.archive.org/web/20160114023925/http://results.toronto2015.org/IRS/resTO2015/pdf/TO2015/AR/TO2015_AR_C93_AR0000000.pdf

    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
