Perils of today's time: People talking without knowing the full story. The temple in question Sabarimala is closed to everyone who does not follow the ritual related to it. One has to wear certain clothes, no footwear, fast and pray for 40 days before they can enter the temple. The diety inside the temple, Lord Ayyappa, is a celibate God and hence, women between ages to 10-50 are not allowed to visit there. Similarly, there are temples in India where some other group of people are not allowed. For example, in Pushkar, Savitri temple does not allow married men. In Kamakhya, no men are allowed. There are numerous such examples. Numerous other temples have other restrictions like a certain dress code to be followed, a certain offering to be made, a certain time when the temple can be visited only. Such restrictions are there because we treat the residing diety not only as a God but also as a human and these restrictions are there according to the legend associated with the residing diety.

Well this begs the question of should religions and traditions have to change in order to fit modern ideals (eastern and western (it shouldn’t matter))?

I'll be more alive in a few days (and a few days after that, I'm going to her competitions in Germany so I'll be mostly inactive again :d )

    • 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.
