Hello there fellow Americans, I’m new here and I’m just wondering around getting a feel of things. What can we talk about on the National threads?

Hello and welcome to Totallympics!

 

National Threads are threads used to gather users from the same nation (while the rest of the forum is international) to talk about all sports in a single thread. They were started so that users can write in their national language, but in your case the language will be the same of the rest of the forum :p

 

Also, National Threads are being replaced by clubs, which allow to have a complete sub-forum, with different sections and threads, instead of a single thread.

 

You can see an example of a recently launched club here for German users: https://totallympics.com/clubs/20-team-d/

 

I think that now that the :USA community on Totallympics is getting bigger we can create the US club where you can talk about US sports, athletes, Olympic qualifications etc. What do you think?

 

Also tagging @Olympian1010 @AlexDSSF @American1998 @Americaneagle@bmo @Bob Gambardella @Catdog @Csapo@davidpeterson @dcmdtruefan@dezbee2008 @esube @Games and Rings @jake33 @James65@Jason@Jax@John Foyne@nickp1991@Maxim Fastovsky@mhbj11@talyn530@wpwells@Triplecast  @04444thenagain@ACratone@Ben Wheeler@Anthony@Eddie@hickeykt@Hector Lopez@lookAlive24@lotsip@msu42@Nobody@OlymFan74@owenp_23@PandaCat@Susannah@pjwasz@Quaker2001@Rdbc@RP Gambardella@RobtheAggie@TheMeem@Sarah@Tophwilliams

 

It would be nice to have some of these users back on the forum to follow the qualifications to Paris 2024 and all other events, and creating a club could be a good occasion to be back here :yes

 

For the club, we would need a user who would like to be the "owner" of the club so if someone is interested please let me know so I can help you to set it up (it is really easy, you will basically just decide which sections to have, the logo etc.)

The national threads are mostly dead in favor of individual clubs. We could discuss starting a club for US users @NearPup @owenp_23 @dezbee2008 (and the others that don’t immediately come to mind).

 

Maybe some sort of “USA and Friends Club,” so we can support Team USA and the overseas autonomous NOCs :ASA:GUM:ISV:PUR

Fun fact: I wasn’t an American when this thread got started :O

That all sounds great. Who gets to start the clubs? Would I be able to do it myself?

 

I’m working on setting it up now. @Sindo needs to approve it though (and maybe help with the formatting).

The club has been set up by @Olympian1010: https://totallympics.com/clubs/22-team-usa-and-friends/

 

I have invited all :USA users, hopefully some of you will come back on the forum and some more will join in the future! @Olympian1010 will be the admin but I'm sure if any other users has some idea on how to improve the club, will be free to do so.

 

Enjoy it!

    • Some words about Ghiotto: for me he doesn't have the same personality/character, like Lollobrigida- I also wrote about this yesterday about case of Wiklund. Ghiotto can only win/win medals when he's in 100% shape. Otherwise, he gives up mentally. He can't break through in a difficult moment during the race and try to salvage at least some of his race. Today, the silver/bronze medal was within reach- all he needed was to win the heat against Begrsma (when was the last time he lost to him in a 10 km race?). In my opinion, Lollobrigida had the totally different personality, that Ghiotto did. When she would a similar mental, like Ghiotto, so she have given up yesterday with max. 2/3 laps remaining and finished 4. Another thing is that even without the right mentality, Ghiotto today had his worst 10k race in over 5 years and there's no excuse for that. Unless he was sick or injured, but I don't know anything about that yet.
    • When I was recently in Warsaw in December and walking its streets, I have the impression that for about 5-10 years, 1/3 of your athletes of most of popular sports summer and winter, will be probably came from Ukraine/Belarus etc., but I could be wrong. Unfortunately, the war contributed a lot to this, and it's not over yet    Poland did a great business with Semyrunyi, but it was certainly influenced by the fact that they have an indoor track and good training conditions there, but it could have been as you wrote, that today he would have won a medal for Kazakhstan or Germany. At all, Poland currently only has excellent sprint teams: men's and women's, so someone like Wladimir would be very useful in the long distances, because without him, Poland is practically nonexistent there. And yet, they have one more medal.    The Czech Republic, however, has the greatest luck: no indoor track at home, no major home events like the Olympics, etc, all the attention on ice hockey, but for 20 years they've had Sablikova and now Jilek- probably for next 20 years. Sport isn't always fair. Actually, Slovakia could at least get someone like that now, just to balance things out, instead of always having lucky of one country
    • "Hey man, did you touch that rock?" "No, I didn't" "Are you sure, because it looked like you did. You're a good guy, but it looked like you did" "I promise you I didn't" "If you say so" "FUCK OFF!"   -Bad dude   "*mumble mumble* easy to make shots when you touch the stone *mumble mumble*" walks away "Who touched the stone?" Surprised Pikachu face "Who touched the stone?" Even more surprised Pikachu face "Fuck off"   -Not great, but understandable.    If you think someone cheated or made a mistake, talk to the official or confront them nicely. It's not like these guys don't know each other. It's not like Team Canada or Team Sweden hasn't been here before.   This can be turned around and put on the Swedes lashing out over being terrible their first three games. It doesn't appear anyone needs to cheat to beat them right now. 
    • Uf.  Finally managed to watch the last few skaters.  That was painful (Malinin + all the others...).  Happy for Shaidorov  .  He had a great skate.  Now off to nurse some wounds...   (Can we get a reverse upset and have Campbell Wright pull off a biathlon medal?)

    • Based on how people have been skating it kinda feels like nobody deserves to win the women’s TP xD   (so I guess it means it will be an entertaining scrap for gold)
    • Potential for  Schwinghammer-  Laffont in the 1/8th finals
