The record for summiting all 8000m peaks by one person was broken today. A Nepalese climber managed to climb all the peaks in one climbing season (from May 2019-Oct 2019). He beats the previous record by 7 years. What a feat! What a day for mountaineering!

Alex Honnold and Tommy Caldwell have successful free soloed a second Route up El Captain. Amazing achievement. The route was deemed impossible past the the halfway point, but these days the impossible is becoming the possible in many sports.

Apparently the feat is not great enough for his name to be mentioned :p

It was late, and I was lazy. I also refrained from posting his name later, bucease a minor journalist, like myself, dropped a bombshell report that he may have missed one of the summits (technically) because he summited in the wrong spot or something. The UIAA and Himalaya Project are working to verify his record from my understanding

Dude thats damn boring. 

Quickly gaining popularity as a college and beach sport in North America. The game I shared isn’t the best example, so apologies for that. There have been some damn good exciting matches though.

    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
