c'mon! we all know that all the NOP athletes should be banned for life (and Nike should be banned from being a sportswear supplier)...

 

and we all know what are the names that should end up in the blacklist...a Shelby Houlihan, among others, isn't just enough...it looks she's just the typical scapegoat...

NOP, Federico Rosa's gang and a whole bunch of others like that are shadier than a cave at night :p 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

I have a bad feeling GB could end up with no medals in Atheltics with KJT and DAS underperforming and none of the other decent chances succeeding. Even no gold medals would see funding becoming a big issue. 

I'd be shocked to see no medals at all. Wouldn't now be surprised to see no gold medals though.

How is KJT underperforming? Isn’t she injured?


Also DAS should win 3 medals and you could also medal in women’s 800 m, women’s 1500 m, women’s 4x400 m, maybe women’s pole vault, men’s 800 m, men’s 1500 m and men’s 4x100. I think without KJT you have no safe medals, but overall you should still win 4-6 medals. Your future looks pretty good (thanks to Reekie, Hodgkinson, Hunt, Burgin and some others), but your Problem might be that you are best in the most competitive events (track), where it is the most difficult to medal.

Sara Errani used the same "contaminated meat" excuse (from a tortilla) and it didn't work either :lol:

Jarrison Lawson and Ajee Wilson got away with it, so it wasn’t unreasonable for Hooligan to think that she would get away as well. You also shouldn’t forget that she (coincidentally) kept the receipt from the taco truck, which surprisingly wasn’t enough to prove her innocence ...

If you dope on purpose then of course you'll have some papers ready in case you get caught :lol:

    • I still remember watching the World Junior Championships in Moncton when ES was hyping her unbeaten streak of 100+ races or whatever the number was and she promptly came 2nd in 200m
    • After four weekends of winter sports, we are slowly entering the middle of the winter season . And, as usual, it's time for statistics that I don't know which theared to put in      After 29 events, 20 different NOCs was already on the podium. After several seasons, Uzbekistan is also back on the podium thanks to figure skating (and two former Russians).   This weekend will be all about ice sports, with a total of 13 events: 4 in figure skating (first stage in Europe) and 9 in short track (second stage in Montreal, since SLC was cancelled)
    • World Boxing approved seven new applications from the National Federations in Andorra, Belgium, Iraq, Lithuania, Madagascar, Kyrgyzstan and Thailand. 
    • Out of curiosity, I listened to a few podcasts about Turkmenistan today. This country has very large deposits of natural gas. In the 1990s, a simple a ordinary people lived quite well there. In the early 21st century, Turkmenistan signed several unfavorable gas deals with China and has practically gone bankrupt since then. 1/3 of the population (about 2 million out of 6 million- mostly young people) emigrated, mainly to Turkey, India, etc. The future of this country is blacka and uncertain. I don't know what other options they have? Russia, Turkey, the EU? Of course, in terms of selling gas. Perhaps sanctions of Russia's and isolation due to the war in Ukraine would be a chance for Turkmenistan to establish economic relations with the EU, but the new president would probably have to loosen and a little liberate up his country's domestic politics.
    • A friend of mine who visited 97 countries of the world be in Turkmenistan (with Kunshamara, are the onlyones i know) and he tell me something that never see in another country: his presence was enough to make nervous to all the people, in restaurants, markets, etc, the presence of an "outsider" generate that.
