@bmo Have you seen any international sports in person?

No I have not. There has been many events, like the U.S. figure skating championships this past year as well as U.S. women’s ice hockey vs Canada, in Detroit, but I just haven’t had the time to go. We actually have a velodrome in Detroit and I hope to go some day.

10/10 recommend Track Cycling. We have a velodrome at Cal State Dominguez (also known to football fans as the Stub Hub Center). I was lucky enough to attend a day when the World Cup came here 2 years ago. It was awesome. Obviously being in LA area it’s perks (especially now the Olympics are coming). I haven’t seen Ice Hockey or Figure Skating either. I’ve seen Cycling - Road and Track, Athletics - Diamond League, Modern Pentathlon, Special Olympics World Games - Roller Sports, Kayak, Sailing, Handball, Weightlifting - 2017 World Championships, Fencing - World Cup, and Football - Both US teams (friendlies)

Wow that is a lot. I have been to a lot of Detroit team sports though. I have seen the Tigers probably like 20 times. I have seen the Pistons 3-4 times. Red wings & Lions once each. I also went to PSG vs Roma friendly in Detroit.

Yeah I’m not big into professional sports. I’ve been to 2 LA Galaxy games, 4 LA Angles games, 2 LA Clippers games

USA men’s fistball team will play their first match tomorrow at the World Championships against the Brazil. It should be a good match. You can catch it on the Olympic Channel or Fistball.tv

 

@bmo Have you ever seen Fistball?

    • I think she’ll get top 6, but no podium. With the amount of medal contenders that we have, there’s gonna be some disappointments (In Beijing we had Kingsbury in moguls even with the silver, Dubreuil in the 500m, men’s ski cross, curling, and our men’s hockey team as the main ones)
    • Let me be clear:  I don't want to promote this product, this drink. That's not the case.   I'm interested in who's competing in Team RB because i think this company gives a lot of money to the athletes and i wonder if they can benefit from it... how many of them will get medals?
    • No medal for Loutitt???   You don't hope for it???
    • That was the same for me. And it's obviously too early, just for fun. Now it's more like predictions for 2024/2025 winter sports World Championships than 2026 olympics actually...   And still - it was done before 24/25 world cup events in some sports started (e.g. nordic combined, downhill and super-G in alpine, skicross etc...)   so it will have to be updated for sure...
    • Day 1   A lot of these predictions are what I’m hoping for, honestly    Speed Skating - Women’s 3000m Gold-  Ragne Wiklund Silver-  Ivanie Blondin Bronze-  Joy Beune   Snowboard - Men’s Big Air Gold-  Taiga Hasegawa Silver-  Marcus Kleveland Bronze-  Red Gerard   Alpine Skiing - Men’s Downhill Gold-  Marco Odermatt Silver-  Aleksandr Aamodt Kilde Bronze-  Andreas Sander   Ski Jumping - Women’s Normal Hill Individual Gold-  Eva Pinkelnig Silver-  Sara Takanashi Bronze-  Nika Prevc   Cross Country Skiing - Women’s 10km and 10km Skiathlon (Confused on the format and favourites… might not be the best of guesses) @heywoodu does this look fine?  Gold-  Jessie Diggins Silver-  Frida Karlsson Bronze-  Krista Parmakoski    1-2-0  1-1-0  1-0-1  1-0-0  1-0-0  0-1-0  0-1-0  0-0-1  0-0-1  0-0-1  0-0-1
    • M downhill on the first day A blue ribbon event The BEST event for me it's good that it's on day 1 - a nice thing to begin with   but...on the other hand... it's all downhill from there
