It's sort of an equivalent of stuff like big air in the winter, where it's more about 'having fun' in their hipster baggy pants - or at least that's how they make it look - than about actually competing. Noooo thanks.

 

Not to mention how that event doesn't have code of points or anything, at YOG it was just a bunch of funny named judges voting for what's "cool" (whatever that means). So of course it was biased towards the hosts and the other desirables...

And seeing medals being won by the likes of 'B4', 'Ram' or 'Bumblebee' gives me spontaneous itches. 

 

(Which by the way doesn't mean I hated watched it, I just really don't think it's fitting for the Olympics)

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!

Une autre rumeur, venue d'Italie ( !) indique qu'en fait, Paris 2024 aurait arrêté une liste de sept noms et laisserait in fine le CIO trancher dans le vif pour ne choisir qu'un maximum de cinq sports

 

Apparently, there is a rumour from Italy that Paris 2024 would chose seven sports and let IOC make the final cut. Any italians here heard about that ?

There's a popular meme in Spain that is a old guy taking part in Dancing with the stars dressed urban triying to do a breakdance routine. It's used as a way to refer to older people trying to act cool like teens.

no, not at all...

our media don't even talk of the Milano+Cortina 2026 bid, just imagine what's the interest for any other news related to the Olympic sports...:facepalm::wall::cry:

 

here in Italy 98% of sports news are about Mauro Icardi, Wanda Nara and the Inter FC saga...

1% is about Atletico Madrid-Juventus...

and the last 1% is about Ferrari, Vettel and the Formula1 practice in Barcelona...

oh...and last week they spent a few minutes/pages on Valentino Rossi, as it was his 40th birthday (so, as you might imagine, they didn't even talk that much of his sports career, but it was almost only about gossip)...

 

as usual, except for the only 2/3 normal sports websites, there's no place for anything else...

Surfing is pretty interesting. Y'all should give it a chance.

 

only if you watch a tape delayed summary...;)

 

when you watch it live, there's really too much time action-less...you just can't wait 25 minutes to see 2/3 rides per heat...:sleep:

especially when it's 7 or 8 a.m. and still dreamin' of your comfortable bed...:lol:

    • Alix Klineman has also announced her retirement following the conclusion of the AVP League    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB9CZwrPfqj/?igsh=MTZiaDk0NndmaTAzcQ==   What a sad year for beach volleyball, with Brouwer, Meeuwsen, Ludwig, Bobner, Pavan, and now these two retiring. 
    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He changes the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for small/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
    • My favorite tennis tournaments of the year (wta/atp finals)
