This was so expected imo. After I saw results on Florida I went to sleep. There was no reason to wait for result in other countries because then it was clear that he will win.

I waited until Pennsylvanian results and then started study for exams.

Funny, because I feel that this is more like an election to "f**k the world or not" than a presidential election :lol:

The best thing out of this was seeing all the tears in the media, which is justice served. Especially at the Clinton News Network, they were in a funeral last night. It was so sweet after watching months of twisting information and throwing objective journalism out of the window. No more jokes for thier own amusement and arrogance.

 

The same goes for Hollywood, who still think they can force the normal people to vote after their privileged ass. I can't believe that after all the talk from Trump that Clinton is the establishment, is getting funds from the elite, she went out parading all these celebs in the final days. And by the results in the rust belt, people needed words how their life will get better and not some free concerts from Katy Perry or Beyonce, who have nothing in common with them. It would be fun seeing all those celebs saying they would move out, actually do it. The hubris in Hollywood is just over the roof.

Actually on CNN they were talking a lot about how impressive Trump's results were, I also expected to see something like the opposite, but they surprised me positively. 

 

It stays weird that Trump is campaigning against "the elite" though, while he himself is a billionaire...I mean, it's not like he is exactly an everyday Joe that one can identify with.

    • All Milano-Cortina Olympians are to be find in the first posts of the respective threads just like in this one.
    • Almost sadder than a university hall of residence
    • Big shock as  beat the all-conquering  Men's Team Sprint team in the Heats!
    • sure! in every Italian bedroom you normally have every kind of table, chairs, furniture, tv screen  to me, this really look an unfinished room, you normally don't see such a sad place even when you buy a new house 
    • Canoe Sprint There is a now a cap of 5 athletes per gender in the kayak events (down from 6 in 2024). The World Championships has been replaced by the Olympic Qualification Rankings.   K2 lost 2 boat quotas while K4 has gained 1 boat quota. Quota distribution is quite complicated as it usually is for canoe sprint. They also force nations to compete in a minimum number of events based on the number of athletes qualified; 2 and 3 athletes per boat class must compete in 2 events, 4 must compete in all 3 events and 5 must compete in all 3 events and have two entries in the K1 event.
    • Wrestling will have a completely new format, I do not like the changes. ranking isn't really a good idea in this sport, this will force wrestlers to compete in so many events to collect points. which is not good for their health. specially with the current UWW ranking points distribution system which is plain stupid   they are also gifting 18 quotas to very weak countries by that last qualification event. but I understand their point of view. can't wait to see lots of Russian wrestlers compete for weak countries for that 1 available quota.
    • Canoe Slalom Quotas from men's/women's K1 have been moved to men's/women's KX1. K1 will now have 14 quotas while KX1 will have 10 quotas. C1 remains at 17 quotas. Athletes may participate in other events up to a maximum of 2 athletes per NOC.   The World Championship qualifier has been dropped in favour of the Olympic Qualification Rankings (7 K1, 10 C1, 3 KX1), afterwards you have the Continental Qualifiers (1 per boat) and then a new Global Qualifier (2 per boat).   There were a few changes regarding ways to ensure an athlete can only obtain 1 quota. The biggest being at each stage the boat priority is K1 > KX1 > C1 for the rankings and KX1 > K1 > C1 for the continental/global qualifiers. This basically means if the same athlete qualifiers in multiple boats then the quota will be given to the kayak over canoe.    
    • I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same
