Ugh, that weightlifting co-commentator (the woman) talking about how gymnastics should have no medals for the individual events because weightlifting doesn't have medals for snatch and CJ :facepalm:

 

Fine, but if you want medals for the single events in weightlifting, just have three competitions per weight class: a separate snatch competition, a separate CJ competition and later the combined, with both competitions again.

If I had my way I'd completely separate all events that award medals. In gymnastics' case, a separate team all-around, individual all-around and apparatus qualification round.

 

That may be asking a lot though...

And never again a biathlon sprint followed by a pursuit based on the sprint's results and then award medals for both events :lol: 

 

Still the single most stupid thing in terms of medal events in the Olympics in my opinion.

Dude, when we compete in pan american championships of badminton our players finish below top 15, so imagine the level... It's the only core sport that Argentina never qualified for at senior olympics.

But still Delmastro is 700th position in world ranking and Keoxay is 1100 something ;)

    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything
