Here’s the five designs the Bermuda Olympic Committee is considering for their new logo (which is a shame since I love their current one :(

If I had to choose, I’d go with 1 (blue) or 3 (red)

Ugh, looks like it’s time to get rejected by Inside The Games again. They have another junior reporter opening (I don’t think they actually filled the position after the last round of applications), and I’ll apply once again. It’s rough applying for all these positions. I know I have what it takes, but I’m shutout because of my lack of a proper degree and age. I’m sure who ever they hire will be a great addition, but it sucks knowing that the job you feel highly qualified for shows absolutely no interest you :(

 

I love what I do for Totallympics Media, but it’s impossible to be anywhere near successful when I’m the only web journalist left, and when I have to do all the heavy lifting week after week. It’s times like this where I’m really happy for the support we receive, and for @Vojthas as my right-hand man (and fellow Co-Editor)

That's more a less summary of my last two-three years on that field.

Yeah, I love communications, but man, this field of study is depressing on the job market.

Whelp, my dad has a slightly high temperature. Time to kick him out my damn house, and put his ass in quarantine.

Damn. Looks like all Olympic Twiiter pages (and plenty others) have been hacked :yikes:

It’s either been fixed now, or I don’t see the problem.

    • Our problem is that without Vittozzi or in poor form our chances for an Olympic medal are equal to 0. Wierer actually is more of athlete for relay, which we have little chance without Vittozzi, anyway. At most Wierer can aim for the long run and that too probably only with a 20/20 chance can she count on a medal. France is in a much better situation, because they have 3-4 athletes who can stand on the podium individually.
    • Not that serious imo. She did race last week, with a merely decent outing but still able to make it past the finish line. Probably a cautionnary decision, get some more time to come back into shape and maybe refocus her goals this year as I don't really rate her chances of crystal globe with 3 races missed. We're in a pre-Olympics season, with home Olympics in sight for her and after a near perfect season last year. No need to take risks and endanger her future in the sport.
    • Lisa Vittozzi will miss the first stage of the World Cup in Kontiolahti due to back problems. In my opinion, it must be something serious, because by missing 3 individual events, she basically loses the chance to win the general classification of the World Cup again this season. Otherwise, she would start and minimize the losses. I`m afraid that this could be a lost season for Vittozzi and without her we basically have no chance for any medal at the World Championships (except maybe Wierer in the individual race).   https://fisi.org/vittozzi-salta-lapertura-di-cdm-a-kontiolahti-rientrera-nella-successiva-tappa-a-hochfilzen/
    • If you hire someone like Wilfried Schneider, your ambitions must be very high. We didn't hire him to take 14th or 15th place in the World Cup or not win a at least one single medal at the Olympic Games in Cortina. The first average Italian coach who would be several times cheaper than a German could guarantee such results. In my opinion we simply miss the final step and a decisive qualitative leap forward, also in terms of technology. The same has been happening in luge for many years, that we are technologically behind Germany, Austria and recently also Latvia.   btw., Margaglio was the 3rd competitor in the general classification of the last World Cup.
