And not at all by decades of neglect of fire hazards by incompetent Marxist politicians, no sirreee bob. Everyone knows it is wind that causes fires, which is why we get so many in the north of Scotland. -

Southern California is currently experiencing one of the worst fire events in my lifetime caused by an extreme wind event -
Still deciding, but NHL, NFL, NBA, club volleyball (as usual), Gim-Kim in some Korean Curling event, GSOC WFG Masters, Women’s U18 World Championships, and the Australian Open for sure, Junior FIS World Championships, BWF Malaysia Masters, big air/slopestyle freestyle skiing and snowboarding/alpine snowboarding, other winter sports (Luge/bobsleigh/skeleton/alpine skiing), Speed Skating European Championships Water Polo WC and Men’s Handball World Championships I’ll be following along with scores. -

Rams could well beat Vikings and this is a real coin toss. Sam Darnold's first playoff game and he looked bad vs Lions last weekend in the #1 seed decider already. This is one of these rare games when a wild card team has a much better record and the home team is the underdog on paper but Rams can pull this one off and it ends up being a "non-upset" upset. -
For my predictions I’m assessing a number of factors into it. For example in the comeback category, I prioritize injuries/life or career threatening stuff over breaks. World Championships, World Cups (and similar stuff for sports that don’t have those) also factor into it. BEST MALE ATHLETE for sportsmen in Olympic sports #1: Leon Marchand #2: Armand Duplantis (3 WR’s in a year…) #3: Teddy Riner Odermatt not being nominated is unexpected. BEST FEMALE ATHLETE for sportswomen in Olympic sports #1: Summer McIntosh #2: Sifan Hassan #3: Lisa Carrington BEST NON-OLYMPIC ATHLETE for athletes in Non-Olympic sports and disciplines #1: Shohei Ohtani #2: Patrick Mahomes #3: Max Verstappen BEST PARALYMPIC ATHLETE for athletes with a disability #1: #2: #3: BEST YOUTH ATHLETE for athletes up to 18 years old (born after January 1st, 2006) (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports) #1: Summer McIntosh (again) #2: Lamine Yamal #3: Darja Varfolomeev BEST MEN'S TEAM for national men's teams or groups (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports) #1: basketball team #2: waterpolo team #3: volleyball team BEST WOMEN'S TEAM for national women's teams or groups (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports) #1: volleyball team #2: handball team #3: field hockey team If I’m gonna be completely honest, after #1 and #2, I had a hard time choosing one because all four teams had their struggles… BEST DOUBLES/PAIR OR MIXED TEAM for doubles and pairs or mixed teams and groups (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports) #1: Caterina Banti/Tito Ruggeri #2: David Åhman/Jonatan Hellvig #3: Paul O’Donovan/Fintan McCarthy I had to let out a laugh when I saw that Duda/AP were nominated, because even though they won gold they were not on the same page at all through most of the season and went months on the Beach Pro Tour between May and July without a single medal BREAKTHROUGH OF THE YEAR for the most improved athlete (aged 19 or over) or national team (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports) #1: Adriana Ruano #2: Jasmine Paolini #3: Shinnosuke Oka Again, some of the nominations are confusing to me. Vaast is surfing at his home break in Tahiti and like a lot of sports that advantage is big, Lafond had a best jump of 14.90m in 2023 and Alfred was a medal contender in 2023 as well. I would put Joan-Benjamin Gaba up there, he came into the Olympics completely out of the medal mix and he won silver and beat Hifumi by ippon in the mixed team final COMEBACK OF THE YEAR for athletes or national teams who made a comeback performance in 2024 (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports) #1: Sunisa Lee #2: Paula Badosa #3: Kristof Milak SPORT MOMENT OF THE YEAR for any sport moment from 2024 #1: Djokovic finally winning an Olympic gold medal in men’s singles tennis (and none of the other choices come close for me, honestly) #2: Letsile Tebogo’s gold in the men’s 200m, first ever gold for Botswana and he also beats evil Lyles in the process #3: Armand Duplantis’ gold and WR in men’s pole vault I wasn’t a fan the opening ceremony, and I thought the general consensus was that most people on here didn’t like it either, so I’m not sure on how it got nominated but… Also thought there would be at least one non-Olympic nomination, but I guess not. OLYMPIC SPIRIT AWARD for athletes or teams related to the 2024 Summer Olympics or Paralympics who exemplify the spirit of sportsmanship in the Games or showed great determination in overcoming obstacles #1: Kinzang Lhamo crossing the marathon finish line #2: Fariba Hashimi fulfilling her Olympic dream, having to hide her practices from her parents and the Taliban for doing a “boys’ activity” #3: Same thing for Manizha Talash, I can’t imagine how hard that must be for them… Honestly, this was a tough category. Besides Skotheim, who I very clearly think is last… I feel like it could go in any order.
