:NED Marit Bouwmeester, most succesful female Olympic sailor, with two golds, one silver and one bronze medal.

Wasn't the Rio gold the one where we were treated with one of the most ridiculous pieces of commentary ever by Ayolt Kloosterboer? "Marit, help us!!" when he was begging for her to win the gold. It was sailing, but maybe I'm wrong on who exactly it was :p

Hmm, we don't seem to have an Athletes Unretirements Thread......:clap:

 

:GBR gymnast and three-time Olympic Gold medallist Max Whitlock comes out of retirement with the goal of making a comeback at Los Angeles.  Will be 35 in LA.  Next year will be a fairly gentle reintroduction with just National Champs and the Commonwealth Games on the schedule.

    • There was a lot of good stuff with the BBC coverage - although some of the presenter did go a bit over the top, and the fillers that they used were pretty cringeworthy.    If there's one thing they need to figure out is how to show events like this without having the constant switching - from the channel to IPlayer and back to channel.  
    • I mean if we start talking about the impacts of sliding tracks, then the discussion needs to go to speed skating venues (btw, French Alps, don't you have fairground halls hanging round, I mean EVEN Italy could do that) and ski jumping hills for that matter as well.
    • Thanks everyone for their words. Situation has improved, at least in the last few hours.   Still, classes were suspended in the states of Jalisco and Nayarit, and most employers told office and service workers to remain home, with some of us doing home office.   No major casualties among civilians, but hard to tell as I said, federal government put a chokehold on major and local news and social media, in part to avoid major panic, in part to enforce their corrupt narrative in which they insist “everything is calm”.   Hard to believe when yesterday a 6 million people metro area, along many other localities and rural areas, emptied business, malls, restaurants and stop all activities for 15 hours or so just of pure fear of becoming another number of cartel and allies casualty list.    This morning you can hear some cars, and even people down the street again, compared to yesterday which had an eerie silence.    
    • So if 7-8 indoor sports go from Summer Olympics to Winter Olympics it's not wrong. However I don't want sports repeated.   Indoor sports will be played indoor whether in summer or winter.    Yes it might dilute the winter sports a bit, but then both games may get good revenue and can keep a larger global audience interested. I can't follow all the sports at summer games it's a lot but comparatively winter games have the space to add sports.    If I have to choose Indoor sports into winter games: - Judo - Taekwondo or Karate  - Handball - 3x3 Basketball  - TT or Badminton  - Squash - Volleyball - Chess   I think this would make the programme more balanced and will deliver blockbuster Olympics every 2 years   I know this might be an unpopular opinion here in the forum, which is fine.
    • It's weird to talk about attendance in %. Whats better 97% of a smaller stands or 90% of a bigger one?    
    • Is this some kind of sick joke ? I've not seen anything implying this anywhere at the moment.
