I still expect plenty of medals from the cycling team though, without Katie, less in the way of gold

Can the pursuit team win without her? Who are the favorites now?

I think that for the Madison GBR can find someone else, but for the pursuit is not the same...

This is the most relatable an Olympian will ever be.

 

Hopefully she fully recovers quickly, but that sucks.

Very sad news for Dutch gymnastics fan as Eythora Thorsdottir breaks her foot. She is an amazing person and her presence will be missed very much in the TeamNL camp in the Olympic village.

Team NZ already had the edge over the Team GB twice in Nations cup back to back. They are inform team. 
Madison will see Botha and Wollaston rise to the occasion. Wollaston has had impressive year in tracks and roads but because she is solely focusing on Tracks for Paris she is likely to get podium in all 3 endurance race. She is fired up for Omnium

GB may miss out on gold in Women's Team Pursuit and might not even medal in Omnium but we're still the heavy favourites in the Madison as we'll have the world championship team of Evans and Baker going instead.

More bad news for The Netherlands as reigning Olympic champion Niek Kimmann will miss Paris because of heart problems. The French BMX race sweep is getting close this way.

I've been following Kimmann's youtube vlogs since before Tokyo. This is so sad. He was in great form as well. Worst injury in the TeamNL squad so far:cry:

 

Either way, it's a good choice, his health goes above everything. I hope he's in good hands medically and wish him a good recovery.

Two finals worth of non-French are going to have a say in that, but yeah... :( 

 

At least it's very good they discovered it now, instead of when it's too late. Don't mess with heart problems.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

    • Meanwhile, it's about 7 hours to go until we can really start getting some first results other than the 3-3 in Dixville Notch     This is more or less what we're going to start the night with, but probably it's going to come down to Pennsylvania in the end.    
    • Has everyone seen the leaked report on the Algerian boxer?
    • Is the Grand Final officially this Saturday?
    • Huh, there's still countries buying F-16's?     Coincidentally we said goodbye to our last ones a little over a month ago (Belgian ones are still sometimes flying here though).
    • Yeah, Harris might not be great, it is still definitely better than having an outright psychopath as president, again. At the very least it should be someone who is at least capable and willing to, you know, communicate like an adult. Trump very clearly can not do that, although one would assume his childish yelling and overall immensely bizarre way of speaking (from his intonation to his 'we did great, everyone thought it was great, they couldnt believe how great I was!') must appeal to a certain kind of person, I suppose.
    • Alix Klineman has also announced her retirement following the conclusion of the AVP League    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB9CZwrPfqj/?igsh=MTZiaDk0NndmaTAzcQ==   What a sad year for beach volleyball, with Brouwer, Meeuwsen, Ludwig, Bobner, Pavan, and now these two retiring. 
    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He changes the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for small/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
