I’m not the biggest fan of the slogan, but this trailer is damn good.

Don’t be too harsh on yourself.

 

We will see so many urban olympic changes in the future, we will be thinking some of them are jokes but they will not be. Just wait for it…

Don't forget youthful diverse and gender equal

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

"Games wide open"

 

That symbolizes the reopening of the world after the COVID-19 pandemic? Doors being opened, people being allowed back in, and such?

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!

World Athletics to introduce repechage round at  Paris 2024

 

 

The World Athletics Council has approved an innovation to the regular competition format for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, introducing a repechage round to all individual track events from 200m to 1500m in distance, including the hurdles events.

 

In the new repechage format, athletes who do not qualify by place in round one heats, will have a second chance to qualify for the semi-finals by participating in repechage heats.

800m Women:

Round 1 02.08

Repechage 03.08

Semi Final 04.08
Final 05.08

 

4 times 800m in 4 days, really?

Found a 12 minute presentation by Tony Estanguet (Paris 2024 director) at a tech conference about innovation and the Paris 2024 Games. Nothing new I believe, but still a nice distraction on a slow day at work.

This will be a very silly random post, but it hasn't crossed my mind until now how great the simplistic design of the Paris 2024 emblem is. I wanted to create a header for the Hungarian Totallympics club very quickly and I realized that the Paris 2024 emblem would look great in our national colors. Red for the "hair", green for the "mouth", and the white is the flame. And boom, for something that only took a couple of seconds, it looks pretty good. :d The Paris 2024 logo really is one of the best ever.

    • 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 chances 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 smal/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)
    • was also invited to the special edition of the Bolivarian Games and seems like  is not participating.
