With "this is joking" I meant the part of him being enthousiastic about it :p 

 

Well, you know by now that I’ll get excited by any games. Hell, they could do a 53m Sprint while eating a hot dog, and I would wait all day to fawn over and worship it as a medal event. I’m easy to please. Find some countries, add a few sports, and bam! You have my undivided attention

A while ago I had a dream at night they added 6x18m Butterfly to the Swimming programme. Interested in that as well? :d

In the boy's singles tennis all four quarterfinals and both semifinals had at least one 6-4 set in it and both semi's had the exact same score and two quarters had the exact same score :p

This stages system is really awful , really it even took from excitement of all races IMO 

Completely agreed. Or well, the good thing is they have to go out hard until the end instead of boring heats where 2-3 athletes walk to the finish because they're in the top-x anyway, but in stage 2 it will be just stupid.....after the finish, we should immediately know who is the winner (as in: first to finish = winner), now there's gonna be mental mathematics and waiting for graphics to show who won..

    • WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.
    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • 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.
