Much as I like him, I don't think there can be any doubt about Martina's DSQ:

We know that he didn't cheat intentionally, it was an honest mistake. Hopefully the odds will be in his favour in Rio, he deserved it. ;)

This is so sad. For 2020 they will have about 40 athletes from Africa and America

 

This is not only sad, but disgraceful.

 

1. They disrespect local athletes buying the foreign ones - no matter how harsh it sounds, they do sell themselves, which is kinda gross, if you ask me, not to mention the quality of the local competitors decreases.

2. They disrespect other European countries who give their best to produce great local athletes.

 

If this farce continues we won't have countries competing for the medals, but (most likely) the richest clubs.

    • 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.
    • Semifinals   March 15th 20:00 ET/2:00 CET:  United States vs.  Dominican Republic March 16th 20:00 ET/2:00 CET:  Venezuela vs.  Italy   *Images courtesy of Sportsnet
    • March 14th Results   Quarterfinal 3:    Puerto Rico 6-8  Italy   Highlights:       Quarterfinal 2:    Venezuela 8-5  Japan   Highlights:     Updated Bracket:
    • Yeah same story. Good for Venezuela. 
    • 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.
