[OFF TOPIC] Happy Holidays and Birthdays Thread


Recommended Posts

Hello from the final Totallympics time zone (as far as I know)...it’s me again. You didn't think I'd let this little tradition of mine die out unceremoniously did you? Of course, not (hopefully). I certainly wouldn't want to disappoint. So here's the final post made of 2025 on Totallympics. 

 

Honestly, and this could be personal bias leaking in, it felt like a rather bleak year. Conflicts seemed to spring up faster than Labubu variants, with the pull of both polarization and intolerance growing louder and more worrisome by the day. The forum, like many public spaces, wasn’t free from this upheaval. But it certainly wasn’t all doom and gloom, either.

 

Users came together to celebrate those remarkable achievements that make the impossible feel a bit more possible. Enjoyed the company of an eclectic collection of nerds, jocks, and everything in between. Sharing their passions across numerous threads and topics. And engaging in spirited – sometimes a little too spirited – discussions on the day’s news, results, announcements, and everything else. 

 

In many ways, I felt myself becoming more thankful for the connection forums/communities/groups like this provide us with. It made me reflect on how lucky I am to have so many wonderful online acquaintances. Not to mention the web of supportive personal friends, exceptional co-workers and steadfast family members I can lean on and spend time with, day after day. 

 

So in the continued spirit of reflection, I chose to remember this year as a collection of moments: good and bad; short and prolonged; discouraging and joyous, and otherwise disinclined. It might not have been the best year all-around, but it certainly was full of life and memories. And it’s hard not to appreciate that.

 

And so, I propose we enter the new year full of hope, full of life, and full of the courage to face whatever comes our way head-on. It costs nothing to try, so why not?

 

Anyways, that’s my soppy message to end 2025. Happy New Year Totallympics!

    • World Record    16 year old  Zhao Yicheng with a 4.58 in the men's speed preliminaries, bettering the previous mark of 4.64 
    • I hope they can kick teqball and convince the North Koreans to play the real deal  (very unlikely, I know(   Obstacle racing on the other hand, it should be a compulsory sport of the ABG
    • Lasting 2 Weeks and including 24 sports    I bet Beach Sepaktakraw(including their favourite Chinlone, Hoop), Water Skiing, Arnis, Floorball, Wushu, Weightlifting, Taekwondo, Underwater Hockey, Boxing and a few martial arts (Kickboxing/Muay Thai etc)   Obstacle Racing also should make the cut.
    • Oops. I must have misunderstood. I could have sworn I saw her jogging in a field of other men. I assumed she had caught up to some of the slower men. (I admittedly wasn't watching closely.)
    • The women started earlier, it was a race without any men participating.
    • Looking forward to this competition starting tomorrow! Will be nice to see some other countries participate. USA women start with Namibia tomorrow.
    • This came out on the official website yesterday. Updated list of events and competition schedules in Japanese.   Padel and Teqball are on the schedules. Looks like two events for Padel and five for Teqball.   https://www.aichi-nagoya2026.org/files/common/260427競技スケジュール/01_日本語/01_アジア/第20回アジア競技大会競技プログラム.pdf   https://www.aichi-nagoya2026.org/files/common/260427競技スケジュール/01_日本語/01_アジア/第20回アジア競技大会デイリースケジュール.pdf   https://www.aichi-nagoya2026.org/files/common/260427競技スケジュール/01_日本語/01_アジア/第20回アジア競技大会セッションスケジュール.pdf   On the sports programme PDF, Padel is #25 and Teqball is #38.
    • looks like the agreement is the international federations are in fact hosting the event, not the AG organizers, so everything is up to them to make it happen.   Teqball is now confirmed to have 5 events (singles and doubles) does it mean easy 5 gold medals for Thailand ?   Padel is not 100% confirmed yet. I assume there are still talks ongoing between the IF and the Japanese organizers.
    • I feel like this year's Eurovision is more wide open than ever 😂   There isn't a clear favorite, and that makes everything more exciting. Finland is looking strong, sure, but Ukraine always knows how to surprise people and connect with them. I was checking out the odds a bit, and I was struck by how quickly they're rising.   By the way, I found a site that compares the odds pretty clearly: https://casasdeapuestaseurovision.com/   It’s nothing special, but it gives you an idea of how things are shaping up before the semifinals. Although we all know how this goes… at Eurovision, everything can change in a matter of minutes
