I definitely prefer Coe. But Samaranch Jr or sb like him is a heavy favourite imo. Well, that's IOC

What is your prediction for US viewership of Olympic 2028 opening ceremony?

If it's him and not -let's say- Samaranch Jr, the near future looks kinda bleak for the Russians I guess.

I bet Max won't win another title in 2025

Stanley Odin, who won bronze medal at this years Powerlifting Classic World Championships in +120kg category passed away. He was 26.

Also, guys,  Timothy Loubineaud won a race. This isn’t a joke.   (a very messy mass start from a breakaway, but it counts!)

Massive upset - the mass start has been the best event this week.   First win for  since… when?
