Of course, anything else will be a huge surprise

and btw your wrestler is a world bronze medalist. he even has a chance for the gold

He was fifth this year in the cadet worlds, so hopefully he can challenge for gold, but a medal would be nice, would be the first male Canadian wrestler to win a medal at the Youth Olympics.

I will murder the fucking director, I swear. And I will film it from an awkward angle with little to no lighting.

actually he is now a bronze medalist. the Russian gold medalist failed the drug test.

 

btw I watched a quick match of him. now I don't think he can win the gold. but he is definitely better than the Algerian kid.

 

PS: Iran also qualified in this weight but since the kid lost the final to this Russian kid in a very stupid way in last seconds and pissed off the coaches. they decided to pick up 65kg instead which was a mistake IMO.

really pointless mixed NOC team event in shooting :facepalm:................................  irritated by the concept ..... the strongest shooters are paired with the weakest shooters from the other gender and  lose in the first round  ......... it is a punishment for winning a medal.............................. can somebody tell me what is the point 

 

 

i think they should pair the shooters of the same country together and if there is no opposite gender representative have a mixed NOC team ( the way they are doing in TT )

half way through the YOG 

 

Impressions - 

 

Loved - vibe of beunos aires venues and the city itself ........ seems a cool place to be @LDOG ( you lucky Dog )

Loved - Sports climbing - the event is a joy to watch and the athleticism of the climbers is something to see 

Loved - Breaking ...... was jaw dropping at times and just so much fun...... loved the youthful vibe 

Loved - BMX mixed again a great addition , it had me at the edge of my seat 

Loved - Hockey 5s - so much more interesting than the standard hockey , found the dribbling skills and field skills so important compared to the normal hockey which seems to overemphasize penalty corners 

 

Hated - Futsal - not something I enjoyed watching  ... did not have the theatre of football 

Hated - Basketball 3s - took a visual delight and cut it in half 

Hated - Mixed NOC events in most sports did not see the point of it .....allow mixed gender teams from the same country if they are already there 

Hated - The athetics modification into stages and combinations - atheletics is already the creme of any multi-event and the most watched ........ why change perfection

Its a rule for each sport to have at least one stupid rule at the Youth Olympics :d

      Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Opening Ceremony Flag Bearers

      By heywoodu · Posted

      Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      By copravolley · Posted

      For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.

      If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?

      I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups.

      If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great

      Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
