I would absolutely be in favour of the standing long and high jump coming back :p 

 

But yeah, no idea what the thought process was behind this. Maybe one too many Westvleteren for the organizers.

My :BEL drinking tip btw.  Always alternate your zwarebieren with a girly witbier.  And stay clear of the canals.

Ok,let's just put this into the memory hole along with the standing long jump & javelin-catching, shall we?

Who thought javelin catching was a good idea? Thats a bad idea from name alone

Didn't the smurf hold up a "world record - 4:30.00 board" but commentary implies it's a no record yet event

 

 

Not a sentence I thought I would ever say . 

There are all kinds of weird US college circuit WRs listed on wikipedia.

I'm having a Weissbier at this very moment :d 

 

Discovered beer basically this year, so far the German Weizen are certainly nice.

 

My admittedly small experience with Belgian beer consists of a work day where first we had the office Christmas thing, immediately followed by someone's goodbye party. My boss kept handing me La Chouffe Triples all night. The next morning I was fighting the vomit in front of the webcam, much to his delight.

Ok, that did not exist.  But standing jumping was definitely A Thing up till the 20s or so.

    • I won't write about injuries (Fede) and non-sporting matters (Colturi), but the fact is that Italy has its worst start to the season in alpine skiing in over 10 years... Just one victory, and podiums- if any, they're mostly 3 places. We're also not leading in any of the season standings, no in the women's or men's categories. This isn't be it should be in an Olympic year in your country, where you're having your worst season in many years.
    • Plaisier blew 3 match darts and Ratajski comes back to win!    
    • Yes, she was unlucky, but it could just as easily have happened during some training, like with Gut, etc. Brignone has been essentially injury-free throughout her long career, which is very rare in this sport. It's unfortunate that this happened after her best season ever and just 1 year before the Olympic Games in home, when she just missing of win the Olympic gold medal in her great career. With the gold in Cortina, she would have become a legend of Italian skiing, on par with Tomba. Now she's still the best Italian woman in history, but the miss of Olympic gold will likely haunt her for the rest of her life. 
    • It sad to see this season, as I remember, that Fede last year was winning everywhere, when she competed and finished and now we haven't even managed a single podium in the giant slalom, and it'll probably stay that way until the end of the season. Without Fede and Bassino, unfortunately, we're out of good cards in this event. For me Goggia should probably skip the giant slalom at all, becouse she has no chance of a podium and she risks further injuries. If even Goggia finish 8th or 10th? What difference does it make? If she couldn't get a podium finish today with so many DNFs at the top skiers, she probably never do. Della Mea is OK this year, but let's be honest, she's not World Cup podium material. Overall, it's a sad picture, and we have a 0% chance of anything in Cortina unless a miracle happens in Brignone return.   We have two chances for Goggia in DH and SG + maybe a dark horse in Pirovano/Curtoni in SG. That's all. In technical events, we have a 0% chance for medal and that's sad. Our federation also lost Colturi in this situation... In any normal country, the head of such a federation should be dismissed for disciplinary reasons and this case should be investigated by the minister, or even the prime minister, but not in Italy...
    • Mikaela Shiffrin  off the podium today (Edit: Oops...I thought this was slalom, not Giant Slalom.).  Nina Astner  entered the 2nd run in 30th place, but had the best second run, jumping up 18 places to 12th.
    • Maryna Gąsienica-Daniel with a 5th place PB in Semmering GS! 
    • Today RDC will defeat Senegal  and Tunisia 0-0 Nigeria
