But GBR has two ice hockey teams, something we of course can't expect from a small Central European country without any sort of an ice hockey tradition :evil:

 

GBR has 1113 registred female ice hockey players, we have 743 :evil:

GBR has 60 million inhabitants, Slovakia has 5. :evil:

 

So they will really need to have around 9000 registered players to be on par with SVK. :p

yay.. but still from 1113 female players is still easier to form a let say competitive "hobby" students team than from 743  :old:

Just heard Bruna (Moura) will be Brazil's only participant in Almaty, meaning she'll carry the Brazilian flag at the opening ceremony and I'm already as proud as can be just by the thought of it :clap::cry::clap:

Three days and three hours until the opening ceremony and not even a sign of any athletes' profiles or any sort of somewhat detailed information on the official website...this is getting rather shameful...

Last Winter Universiade we had 7 athletes....not very much a coincidence that that was the Universiade with no speed skating :p 

 

Now we have 7 in other sports and 13 in speed skating :d 

 

Like usual though, we're not exactly strong in university sports, even in speed skating. Even from watching national championships on TV, I only know Bart Vreugdenhil, who was 18th at the Dutch Allround Championships last weekend (and that's without at least 2-3 skaters who would easily have been ahead of that). Gerritsen was 17th there. Van Oosten was 7th in the Dutch Sprint Championships last weekend where most top athletes were participating, so he might be able to do something good....although the presence of Roman Krech is making gold nearly impossible and I guess the Polish will have some strong names as well.

Still nothing about athlete's profiles, but at least the well-known results lay-out for multi-events can finally be found on FISU's website:

    • I can finally piggyback off @vinipereira predictions to deliver my own    I'll be honest. I was rather busy during most of the awards season, so I wasn't able to see as much as I wanted to, or normally would have been able to. Therefore, I'm relying heavily on pundit predictions and general feel this time around.     If there was a category for best poster artwork, my nominees would be: Bugonia, Eddington, Dracula, The Sound of Falling, Sirāt   I'd give best animal acting to Pipa from Sirāt   And my favorite scenes from the year are... Kids getting bewitched, Weapons Gladys getting her just desserts, Weapons Car chase, One Battle After Another I Lied To You, Sinners Turn that shit up, Sirāt Playing with arrows, The Love That Remains Street dance, The Life of Chuck Cold open, Warfare Final scene, The Plague Ship prayer, The Testament of Ann Lee
    • The article literally corrects other ones claiming it will be a case. Trump isn't and won't banned.

    • Btw I highly recommend the short film 'Butterfly' which has a story related to the Olympics.  
    • Once again here I am with my annual Oscar predictions post. Last year I predicted 13/23 winners which was my worst results ever by far. For the second consecutive year Brazil is nominated so I'm hoping that 'The Secret Agent' wins something, especially because it's a film from my home state. I watched 34 out of the 35 feature films (only 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' missing) and all 15 short films nominated, so I leave a personal ranking of all the categories.   ["will win" is my prediction / "could win", my alternate prediction / "should win", my personal ranking / "shoud have been nominated", a way to remember other notable work].    
    • I don't know how soon that'll be though... and until then not holding my breath. Really wanted to see Caissie crushing balls at the Olympics, he deserved it for his play this tournament, and now he might not get the opportunity to. He's still young, but this will probably be Canada's best chance, and he'll only be around for Brisbane 2032 at best considering the bids in contention for 2036.    It just sucks, constant disappointment for the Canadians this year with barely anything to cheer for, and coming so close only to come up short... I'd rather us have just lost in the group stage 
    • I think instead of allocating 2 spots here (for Americas) WBSC should have allowed 3 spots (rather than 2) in the 2027 WBSC premiere. ( 1 each for Asia, Europe & Americas)   That way it would have ensured two things : ONLY the top team from Americas gets the quota here ( deservedly so) additionally it would have allowed teams from Americas a second shot at qualification from the 2027 premieres.    Getting only 1 tournament , more than 2 years ahead of olympics is very harsh on the teams from Americas.
