United States National Thread

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!

    • What are the odds WTA/ITF has Kostyuk vs Potapova AO R1 just to see if the hand shake happens? 
    • Malinin  opted for the 4-Axel in his Short Program, but faltered, landing him in 3rd thus far (and only 0.05 away from 4th!).  Surely he has the tools to rise back up in the Free Program.  (Also, perhaps this will serve to show him that he is in fact beatable.)
    • I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->   
    • Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)  
    • That's what I'd plan as well (except for MelFest), but I also know I am hypocritical enough to still want to watch the show and have a fun evening  
    • Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.  
    • Got our first competition of the season coming up in Solitude, Utah  this weekend.  Live on Discovery Plus etc, plus also YouTube and the Olympic Channel.  If you are new to the sport, the sprint races on Saturday will be the format you'll find easy to understand.     ISMF   ISMF Skimo - YouTube    
    • Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
    • @Josh skimo mixed relay is on Saturday, not Sunday, FYI
    • ... this week, time depending.   Today (Dec 5) 4:00pm: Swimming US Open - Finals 9:00pm: Freestyle Skiing WC Big Air Beijing  9:30pm: Snowboard WC Parallel Giant Slalom Mylin   Dec 6 2:00am: Snowboard WC Big Air Beijing 6:45am: Freestyle Skiing WC Aerials Ruka 4:00pm: Swimming US Open - Finals 9:30pm: Snowboard WC Parallel Giant Slalom Mylin   Dec 7 7:30am: Freestyle Skiing WC Moguls Ruka 9:45am: Ski Mountaineering WC Soltitude Mixed Relay   Dec 8 6:30am: Freestyle Skiing WC Moguls Ruka   Dec 9   Dec 10   Dec 11 4:45am: Ski Cross WC Val Thorens 7:00pm: Snowboard Halfpipe WC Secret Garden   Bills, Warriors, and Canucks (have a headache, can't be bothered to put it in...)   No Elite 16 beach volleyball, weak field and most of the top teams have shut down their seasons already. No Snow League Freeski Finals, Heerenveen Speed Skating WC, Alpine Skiing WC either.
