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

    • I'm all in favor of this and it was about time. Wrestling has become table tennis 2.0 and in some cases even worse. In European Championships from 20 wrestlers in a weight you were seeing 7-8 foreigners. Yes, it's mostly Russians, but there are also Ukrainians, Georgians, Cubans being naturalized.    I've said it numerous times, that i don't approve the tactic our federation started of naturalizing people left and right. Which actually wasn't paying off that much, until the Olympics. If it leads to worse results, than it's just a wakeup call for the destruction of our wrestling system (which has been evident for 15 years).

    • New season streams are posted for the weekend if you need to get your schedule organised.     Remember, it's a double bill from Pyeongchang  on Saturday and Sunday this weekend, then a single race from  next weekend. No bobsleigh yet, so I guess they will get double races with no skeleton later in the season.      There were two Asian Cup races on the Pyeongchang track last weekend, and another scheduled for tomorrow, so no excuses for poor performance, everybody should be used to it by now.     IBSF Bobsleigh & Skeleton - YouTube
    • races also on Saturday and Sunday.  These are sometimes FTA, other times you will need your VPN.   Skidskytte: Idre | SVT Play
    • So here we are....pre-season races ready to go.  Always important for the big teams to get some last minute promotions for the first trio of pre-Christmas World Cup races, or even for club skiers to get some kind of promotion into a professional training group.      races on Saturday and Sunday morning.  Usually these are globally free to air live, although you sometimes have to wander round a bit to find the right link.   Sport - NRK TV
    • Anyway, for those who were following this discussion a few weeks ago,  has an excellent chance of first-ever World Cup podiums, possibly even wins, this weekend.  Roche Silveira won and was second in two full-scale rehearsal races last weekend, and has two chances in Pyeonchang on Saturday and Sunday. Then Pinheiro Braathen has another chance in the Levi slalom on Sunday.
