Can't decide if this is real yet :d Seems so effortless WOW.

 

 

Saw this posted on a Dutch forum a couple of days ago, especially the most enthousiastic ultrarunner around there was excited about it. Because of the reactions there (not at all full of disbelief), by pretty experienced trail/ultra/mountain runners, I have no doubt it's real :bowdown:

 

Apparently those trail and mountain runners running over terrain like this is indeed insane in terms of how effortless they make it look.

@intoronto I just saw a news report from two days ago that said the hoop dancer from the 2015 Pan Am Games Opening Ceremony died. Is that true?

Anyone is travelling somewhere? :d

 

Fingers crossed for everything going well, but thanks to a new set of rules introduced last week - specifically about people in a long-distance relationship with someone from outside the EU - a certain Brazilian Totallympian might be arriving here Tuesday morning next week (!) instead of somewhere at Christmas or even later :yikes: 

 

The ticket is booked, we're now working on the letter that declares we do indeed have a relationship longer than three months (which we have to sign and brings serious legal trouble if they found out you're lying, which we obviously are not), which she'll have to show when entering the country.

 

Again, fingers crossed. Five days ago the question was if we'd even see each other this year or only next year, now she has a ticket to arrive in less than a week :d Let us wait and hope :d

    • I don't know if anybody but me cares about this, but this article about Santa Monica ( a snotty beach community near LA) really peeved.     https://www.smdp.com/as-los-angeles-looks-to-2028-santa-monica-positions-itself-as-a-global-stage-for-sport-storytelling-and-community-impact/   It's all about how Santa Monica is going to be such a leading force for the games:   “Santa Monica is not just showing up for 2028,” James said. “We are shaping the experience. From our coastline to our infrastructure, we offer a globally recognized stage with the ability to deliver authentic, well-executed experiences that benefit both visitors and our local community. Our focus is translating global interest into meaningful, well-managed experiences that means thinking not just about visibility, but about legacy.”   Well, Santa Monica can just fuck all the way off.  Besides the vaporous word salad in the quote, they were asked to host the Beach Volleyball tournament, but refused, saying (literally) that they should just free ride on all the other places that are hosting events and just reap the rewards of the increased tourism.  
    • there were lots of talks about it, AWF once again pushed for this idea but looks like OCA rejected it once and for all. which is good.    only total medals will be awarded in this sport as it should be    https://oca.asia/media/attachments/memberships_subcommittee/5/Decisions_109_EB_Meeting.pdf
