Not that I particullary care about this, but I´m just wondering about one thing, if there some special reason why such (I imagine important kind of) elections are on Tuesday. 

 

That would be cool if we have this too...one free day because elections :d we always have them on Saturday :(

 

Most people don't have the day off ;)

 

In Denmark it's usually weekdays as well and barely anyone has the day off.

The worst candidates for US president in history. It's really hard to like one of them, but if I need to choose my choice is Donald Trump cuz his actual wife is from Slovenija. Clinton's are cancer of modern world

For me Gary Johnson is the best option.......but he cant win, in that case i prefer Trump than Hillary, the continuation of the disaster international politics (ISIS, problems with Rusia, uranium for Iran, Siria and Libia, etc)

 

I'm sorry, but I'm having problems understanding this.

Johnson has shown absolutely no understanding of foreign politics (and I'm not just talking about "what is Aleppo?")

Trump has a terribly sad understanding of the foreign politics including ideas that will make more or less every NATO country unsure about whether USA can be trusted or not, make oppression and even genocide possible without any kind of punishment.

Sure some wars in the Middle East have been failures, but just watching isn't the right thing either.

btw just found that there also some 160 referendums in the USA today :yikes:

 

for example If Washington DC will become the 51st USA state and if it will be named New Columbia, many legalize pot referendums in Arkansas, Florida, Montana, North Dakota, Arizona, Maine etc.. or End of Slavery in Colorado !!! :yikes: but also the compulsory use of condoms during filming of adult filmsin California or death penalty in Nebraska or  legalizing the sale of wine and beer with high alcohol in supermarkets in Oklahoma :d and many others

 

wow thats really a super tuesday :lol:

i dont say Johnson is perfect, i have some "libertarians" ideas and he is a candidate of that ideas.......

Like i said before, the democrats make a terrible disaster in foreing politics and hillary was in the state department, she is clearly part of the problem and with her presidence, and the return of Bill too, we will see more political disasters in the next four years.

Being part of a left-wing ideology, i understand that you suport Hillary, is not my case being of rigth-wing.

    • 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?
