Well, for someone that has almost 10,000 posts in about a year and a half (I joined in August 2022, and started posting regularly in 2023, that many posts might be a Totallympics record of some sorts?), I’d sure hope so :p:rofl:

 

Easiest question I’ll ever answer in my life, hell yeah (somewhat unfortunately for all of you) :cheer:

 

Totallympics has been such a great space to discuss sporting events with other fellow enthusiasts, get support after family emergencies (after my dad got taken to the hospital in an ambulance in early May, I shared something about it in the “General Thread”, and I was shocked by the overwhelming amount of replies and messages I got by various users on the forum, wishing for him to have a speedy recovery, to get well soon, and if I needed anything they were here for me, which was really really nice), and the friends that I’ve made here, well I wouldn’t trade them for anything.

I will of course continue to be active on this forum after the Olympics. Many of you probably experience the same as me today, that feeling of depression that the Olympics are over. This year that feeling is more a little more sombre due to the fact I am reminiscing about my Olympic vacation and also I start a brand new job tomorrow after a 4 week break from my old job so it's like all good things are ending today :(

The best cure for post Olympics fan depression and/or “what now?” - The Paralympics :d

 

I know a lot of users pass over them, but I have a lot of fun watching them too.

Pretty poor Olympics for India. So much talent but faltering in Olympics, wasn't ready for this disaster at all.

 

Things would still be fine, but Vinesh pulling of one of the biggest upsets of the Olympics beating Yui Susaki her first ever international defeat, only to be DSQ with no medal next day for being over weight by 100g has to be the single most terrible moment in sports in my entire entire life. I'd feel bad for any athlete facing bad but for Vinesh I was absolutely hurt.

 

She wasn't a normal athlete, an absolute role model and fighter who was criticised, beaten up on streets by police tortured, harassed on social media for raising voice against sexual harrasment in the wrestling federation. I couldn't concentrate on my work or get proper sleep for 2 days. Almost the whole nation cried( except ofc the certain group of people who started making fun of her) and all news channels ran different stories, some supporting her and some against her(ofc sponsored). At that point I was done with the games.

 

So for this question, I may come here for multi sport games, watch a few winter sports. But all other sports I'm not quite bothered, I probably won't even care what we do in next Qualification cycle either. I might revisit this decision in future but for now I need a break from sports.

 

Totallympics is fantastic as always, but sports can sometimes be very cruel for sports fans investing their time in entire Olympic cycle while getting no significant return. Hope I get enough optimism to change my decision in future.

I will definitely be a complete addict during things like World Athletics, European Games, Commonwealth Games, World Games, and then completely ignore it otherwise

As now we come across the world

2026 100%. LA? Probably not. I will observe how it all goes in Poland. If as its now (i assume so) for the first time white flag from me. I will be 51, not sleeping over 2 weeks to see some 6 medals and 106 tragedies...nope. We will see. In LA US, Canada, China and probably Russia will be at full power. 2 medals in climbing again? Without it and with RUS+BLR here we already could count only for some 5-6 medals.

I wondered to myself today, whether by 2028 the global temperature would have rose enough for a boycott

Oh...i think it can be a hmmm....dynamic period to say the least. And i don't have climate issues on my mind in pole position. For the first time in my life i'm unable to imagine 2028. AI too. 

I fell in love with sports.....since i first seen it

    • The regular season is over. Tennesse Titans get #1 overall pick for the 2025 draft after NE Patriots beat the Buffalo Bills back-ups on the last day.   Mike Evans (Buccaneers) ended his 11th season with 11th mark of 1,000 receiving yards which ties Jerry Rice's all-time record. Bucs needed to run one more play to get him 5 yards he needed instead of kneeling down a game they had won already.   Wild Card Schedule:   My picks: Chargers, Ravens, Bills, Eagles, Commanders, Vikings

    • Few observations from the Globes.   Nikki Glaser had a nice opening monologue, but everything afterwards was bad. Plus i don't know what the make-up people did to her face, but i thought i was watching a wax figure.. But she changed 10 dresses showing us more of her cleavage, so that was a plus i guess.    This was probably not only the worst Globes, but probably one of the worst major award ceremonies in structure and writing... Everything was so awful... - None of the presenter skits worked and many were just cringe; - The weird camera angles, that widened around the presenters completely showed the audience not giving any fucks about what they were saying and some hiding their facepalms even. I was specifically watching in the background, since in these award shows we only get the camera in the presenters face against the screen, so this was new, but i was astonished how little the people were paying attention.    - Not showing barely any clips, or even images from the movies / series (sadly this has become a modern tradition to "save time") - The idiotic showing of the nominees. Not only without images from their performances, but them in a small picture on the side, while the screen was a damn Google Map with an arrow on their placement. Like WHO CARES where they sit in the room, show the person on the full screen... Morons.   About the winners:   - Like pretty much all winners on the movie side, with the exception of Emilia Perez, which i don't like at all and don't think it deserves awards.. - Especially happy for The Brutalist and Fernanda Torres;   - Anora was being hyped so much. Watched it, absolutely hated the first half, picked up greatly in the second, but in the end an above average film 7/10 for me. Not getting anything yesterday was a bit surprising if you'd followed the race, but not saying i'm sorry for it. Madison did a great performance, but her stocks are falling for an Oscars win and she will probably settle for only the Nom.   - Ariana Grande does a nice job in fooling people, that she is a good singer (which she is not) and now that she is a good actress (which she is not). Someone is getting screwed if she gets an Oscars Nom..   - Pissed that they didn't have the DeMille and Burnett awards on the main show, because of "time", but we now have the nonsense Box Office and Stand-Up comedy awards.. Everyone would have preferred a tribute to Davis and Ted Danson with a recap of their careers, rather than 30 minutes of useless stuff.   On the TV side it was pretty much as expected. Stoked for Colin Farrell's win.

    • The Colturi case affair is becoming increasingly loud in the Italian media. Yesterday commentators on the Italian public channel Rai began to openly say that they hope Lara will return to Italy and also criticize the terrible form of the Italian team in the women's slalom. I`m very happy about this, because the louder this affair is, the greater the pressure will be on the Italian federation to come to an agreement with the Colturi team (pressure from CONI, the ministry and maybe even higher).

    • Hell no, our home track is Sigulda, and our only track is wooden and located in the small city of Kremenets. And despite that we had 2x 4th place from our skeletonist Vladyslav Heraskevych and bronze in luge team relay
