Didn't know that, never considered him a medal contender, but of course i also thought that Kramer would medal ...

I think all 3 medallists will be gone in 2022, so he might win gold then, of course unless this event gets scratched.

Bergsma is 32, Bloemen is 31. That's not *that* old for distance skaters, Both of them can stay around for another quad if they feel like it.

 

That being said, neither of them have anything left to prove, so who knows. I don't follow Bergsma too closely, but Bloemen seems to be having the time of his live right now so I actually wouldn't be surprised to see him go for another Olympics.

What is everyone's pick for the 5000 women?

Esmee Visser, unless Sablikova is in normal shape again. And probably the inevitable grandma - who won a medal four years before Visser was born - on the podium again.

'Anema-Gate' (Bergsma's coach, the 'matchfixing scandal that broke yesterday') has now already lead to parliamentary questions. I kid you not.

"Esmee Visser is kind of a bitcoin."

 

Alright, thank you, Visser's coach. So she's either going for a world record or last place.

      Is it true Mehdi Taremi could face visa issues due to him serving in the IRGC previously? Could US sanction professional footballers playing in World cup under FIFA?

      For the summary and lowlights of Thailand's preparation in hosting the ongoing Sea Games, I kindly suggest those who are interested to read from this English language article from Thai media outlet, Thai Enquirer: https://www.thaienquirer.com/63469/thailands-sea-games-2025-under-fire-budget-management-and-technical-controversies/

      It's all hogwash especially in the short attention span generation. Like nobody cares about Free Tibet anymore either. Free Palestine will last a lot longer due to Saudi Arabia becoming a sponsorship force in sports.   Israel is too weak in soccer to qualify from UEFA zone. The only time they qualified was from the Asian zone and they only beat Australia & New Zealand who were complete nobodies in the 1960s. No such luck in the 60 years since.

      Oh I assure you FIFA dodger a bullet with Israel not qualifying…   But ya that’s kind of the thing, shut up and dribble is a mantra anti LGBT people have used often. I don’t think it’s hypocritical to remind them of their position

      Ah, yes but that's not how pro athletes are taught in North America these days? Shut up & dribble is xenophobic, racist or whatever? The hypocrisy of some of these policies were exposed during 2022 World Cup already where the Saudis played it smart and waved their own "Free Palestine' slogans. Forget LGBT rights for a moment, how many 'Free Palestine' flags will be waved in 2026? Or will those be confiscated by default? Somehow I feel this won't be met with similar backlash when China clamped down on 'Free Tibet' in 2008 OG. Saudi Arabia is more important to global markets than Iran & Egypt

      Wisła Płock just assumed 1st position after five consecutive draws. Must be first time ever a team on a five match winless streak actually moves up to league top.

      The problem is, the World Cup is not a local event. Overall it's another storm in a teacup. LGBT rights in Muslim countries won't change a damn inch becuse of one soccer match in Seattle
