lol he has fans,what do you mean

Just a way of saying how dedicated a fan I am of his. He’s elevating the hype I have for the sprints in a way not even Bolt did. Even though the 100m is looking more competitive I’ve always enjoyed the 200m more.

Gonna go top 6 in order:


6. All mixed relays, triathlon, track, swimming

5. Men’s 200 m sprint (if Noah Lyles has no fans I’m dead)

4. Women’s football 

3. Cycling Road Races

2. BMX freestyle

1. Boulder/Lead sport climbing (thus the profile picture)

I must be alive then. :p

 

Him, along with Sha’Carri Richardson are my least favourite athletes in athletics probably. 
 

(If anyone is curious, I also don’t like Tom Dean in swimming, Thiago Seyboth Wild/Stefanos Tsitsipas/Beatriz Haddad Maia/Jelena Ostapenko in tennis, and Ana Patricia in beach volleyball)

What's the problem with Lyles? I get Richardson, but Lyles doesn't seem to be all over the top (for a sprinter, at least)? Of course anyone has their favourites and dislikes :p (personally for example I'm beyond happy that the aggressive idiot Mekhissi-Benabbad isn't competing anymore, although it'd have been even better to see him compete and fail miserably at home...probably the only athleted I'd wish that one, since most of my other dislikes I just, well, kind of dislike, but don't really wish ill or anything :p

Sha'carri is eh,i would say she's improved a little if 2022 sha'carri won the world championships,i would of hated it,but she seems to be taking shit seriously now.Not really a fan but i don't really dislike her anymore.She's mid for me i guess.

As a sport I'd put (men's) weightlifting high on my list, haven't seen it since Tokyo despite always enjoying it. Just have mixed feelings about it because of the tiny field size. Same kind of thing with wrestling, I find it fun to watch but never really get to it, so I'm looking forward to that as well.

 

Most of the running events in athletics, the 100m freestyle in swimming, most of the rowing, obviously the mountainbike...I'm surely forgetting some things but off the top of my head I am definitely looking forward to those :p

Too cocky, and has way too big of an ego for my liking. Not saying you can’t be confident, but if you’re going to talk the talk at least back it up. Sure, he did win the three gold medals he said he was going to win in Budapest, but he also said he was going 9.65 in the 100m, 19.10 in the 200m, and a WR in the 4x100m relay. He was nowhere close to those times, going 9.83 in the 100m and 19.52 in the 200m, along with being about a half second off the WR in the 4x100m relay. In 2022, Lyles was talking about how United States would be guaranteed gold if he was on the 4x100m relay. He was on the squad, but had a bad handoff and it wasn’t a great leg of running by him either. Overall, he just seems to be such a dick. Props to him for the “World champions of what?” comment though.

So I'm guessing you're even less of a fan of Omanyala? :p 

 

At least Lyles backed up the most important of his talks, Omanyala just said he was going to win every 100m and then lost everything :d

Not really. Omanyala seems much more likeable as a person.

    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event 
    • In bed with the flu and few hours of sleep, but at least the insomnia will let me watch the first World Cup stage
