How is yoga competitive? Genuine question, I only know it from those poses and as basically a form of stretching and meditation and such :p 

Yogasana is a sport that focuses on the physical aspect of yoga, where players have to perform yogic postures and are judged on their difficulty, balance, control, flexibility and endurance.

 

The rules of yogasana are different for every event. Competitions are generally held in three major events – artistic, rhythmic and traditional.

 

Artistic yogasana is similar to artistic gymnastics. Athletes have to perform postures for three minutes while synchronising their performance to music.

 

Athletes must include 10 asanas in their routine from a predetermined list, which includes leg balance, hand balance, back bend, forward bend and body twisting. Artistic yogasana is held in individual as well as pair categories.

 

Meanwhile, the traditional yogasana event requires participants to hold their postures for 15 seconds or 30 seconds, depending on the asana, with emphasis being laid on balance and stability.

 

The third event category, rhythmic yogasana, is conducted in pairs and groups of five. Players are required to perform asanas in sync with each other and maintain each posture for five to seven seconds. Points are also awarded for smooth transition between two postures.

Can't wait to hear our generic :AUS rugby commentators on the Olympic Channel getting to grips with that lot.  :roflmao:

Wasn't AC Milan originally a cricket club?

no, I think Genua (that was founded by some British people) was originally also a cricket club, but both Milan's teams were born exclusively as football clubs (even if in the early Nineties Berlusconi tried to make AC Milan a multi-sport club like Real madrid and Barcelona, opening volleyball, baseball, rugby and ice hockey sections...unfortunately the experience ended quite quickly because of the big fincial losses)

Is anyone aware of a clear schedule for the canoe polo world championships? So far all I can find is this one here, but it's not exactly a clear one, just a massive table with lots of possible matches and no information on which matches are in which knockout phase and so on.

That's the only thing I had so far, I think I'll make do with that indeed. Not ideal, because the schedule there looks just so incredibly messy and it's even harder to tell the knockout schedule, but alright. Don't think it can be watched without a Planet Canoe subscription anyway and I'm not doing that I'm afraid :p

    • The Beijing 2022 design was based on the traditional Chinese seal/stamp. If you've been there, you'd recognize it as very Chinese immediately.  https://www.theolympicdesign.com/olympic-games/pictograms/beijing-2022/
    • Still wouldn't want an iconic dog around me though  
    • Can't think of anything more efficient than creating a department on government efficiency and nominating not one but two people to lead it.   This has really strong "giving the two most annoying people you know busywork" energy
    • About the pictograms: I usually fail to see how they are tied to some city or country anyway, a slightly different line or font isn't going to make me think "Ah, Italy!" or "Yep, that's China!", so I am very happy with these ones  They look super recognizable, especially for the Summer Olympics it's often a puzzle to connect every pictogram with a sport, here it's very clear  
    • It's not just some dog, Babydog is an icon of West Virginian politics!
    • Meanwhile also Elon Musk ('Government Efficiency') and some FOX News guy (Defense) have been put forward as likely nominees for ministerial posts. For now at least, we know there's going to be a 4 year tombola with people being hired as 'the best ever' and fired as 'a big loser' depending on how long they openly stay loyal to Trump (his words basically, loyalty to him personally is more important than good government).
    • Imagine being a senator and even there having to have someone else's dog around you at a place where you're supposed to be able to focus on important things  
    • Fingers crossed the women’s curling gold medal match also undergoes changes, very preferably an hour earlier so it doesn’t conflict with the men’s hockey gold medal match    Seriously, what were they thinking 
    • And yet another version is out . This time with some more noticeable changes.   Ice Hockey: Women's semifinals moved from the Rho Arena to the Santa Giulia Arena Women's gold medal game moved up to a 19:10 start time (was previous 20:10)   Speed Skating: Most of the events have had their session cut by somewhere between 5 and 30 minutes. Start times remain the same   Figure Skating: Looks like the order of events in team event is now: Ice Dance -> Pairs -> Women. Women were previously listed first.   Alpine Skiing: Downhill portion of the team combined cut by 45 minutes 1st Run of the Giant Slalom and Slalom events cut by 30 minutes   Ski Mountaineering: Sprint heats extended by 8 minutes. Finals session extended by 13 minutes   Ski Jumping: All sessions shortened by 5 to 15 minutes
