Brazil has over 200 million of citizens and the best they can do vs Bolsonaro is to bring up 77yo old-timer? No wonder populism is ahem.. popular. At least it gives an impression of being something new or simply younger.

Its typical in Latin America to have a "recycled leader", specially in the leftism, because the populism is too strong in this part of the world....sadly, something similar happen in my country having the vice presidente Cristina Kirchner was the wife of the president, after thar was TWO TIMES president and now is the vice president of his puppet Alberto Fernandez........well, yes, we dont have over 200 millons of people :lol:

 

Dear brazilians, dont be angry with me please but like i sayed before: i invest in some of your companys and the leftism is bad for bussines (there is a big concern in the investor world for the return of Lula)  , i like the economical team of Bolsonaro a lot more than him.

This the worse number in 20 years, and 10mi entered this status since the start of his government + no real adjustment of minimum wage in 4 years. I could list a lot of reasons why he is a terrible president, but economy is front and center.

I can be wrong but i read news like this with some regularity https://www.infobae.com/america/agencias/2022/10/27/tasa-de-desempleo-trimestral-de-brasil-baja-al-87-en-linea-con-las-previsiones/

 

And i really admire Brazil well i read about the deflation you have, imagine Argentina with inflation about 100% in a year :cry:

If Lula wins today it will be by a very narrow margin. The federal police did 500+ operations today suppressing voters, especially those in public transportations in Northeast (region with most Lula voters). Apparently they're stopping now but we are less than 2 hours away from closing the polls. For a man who defends "liberty", Bolso certainly is looking more and more like a dictator...

For those who are interested, some results from other countries have already been leaked (not official, but pretty accurate). Of course most countries don't even have a thousand votes, but it's interesting that Bolso lost in some countries where he won in 2018. Biggest margins are in Japan (84%) for Bolso and France/Germany (~80%) for Lula.

 

 

Bolsonaro:

:JPN :ISR :QAT :TWN

:GRE

 

Lula:

:AUS :CHN :NZL :PLE :SGP :KOR

:AUT :CZE :DEN :EST :FIN :FRA :GER :ITA :HUN :LUX :NED :NOR :POL :POR :RUS :SVK :SLO :SWE :SUI

:ANG :KEN

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
