To be fair he is leading the prediction contest of this...

1) How many contestants does this contest have?

2) Is there anyone besides him who cares about (follows) non-olympic events like reining?

3) I don't doubt that he knows much about this sport (although the provisional standing in a single predictions contest with very few participants doesn't prove anything), but my point is that his predictions concerning Germany at the 2020 olympic were ridiculous and therefore i offered him a bet. The fact that he isn't willing to take any of them (although the odds would be sensational for him, if his assessment of the current state of german eventing would be correct) pretty much proves that he was just bullshitting and everyone who doesn't believe it just has to look up when Germany last didn't win a single medal at a major event or finished outside the top 5.

By the way: In 2010 Germany finished 5th in the team and Jung won individual gold (the same result Germany would have had this year if it wouldn't have been for Klimke's silly mistake, without the best german rider even competing), 2 years later Germany won 2 gold medals at the olympics.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

How it is counted for the ranking? Like negative points? I mean, if you finish 1st you get 1 point, if second 2 points and so on?

 

Today's winner gets 0.00 points, while everyone else gets penalties that equal their deficit divided by two. So if you were 0.50 seconds slower than winner, you continue on 0.25 pens the next day.

    • The third day of the Challenge Series (Group B) has just finished. Uganda confirmed their great form by winning by 209 runs against Tanzania. Honestly I think Uganda is the big favourite in the tournament, but anything can happen in three years.     In the other match, the most important one for me , Italy dominated against Hong Kong and won by 155 runs. Some batting was very good, on fielding we can still improve. Compared to the last matches with Hong Kong in the past years there has been a frightening improvement for the Azzurri.

    • I would like to make a minor comment on the provisional schedule for @Cinnamon Bun: I just came home from bringing the Brazilian jury to the airport, said jury will be in Sweden during the Grand Final  It makes me wonder if 'local time' should be the local time of the country (Brazil), or the local time of where the jury is in this case (Sweden), to avoid confusion (especially since it's a 1-person jury anyway). 
    • Trump's physical health may still be quite good, indeed. Mental health is a different story, judging by almost all of his speeches where he just gets lost in his own words.   But yeah, exactly what you mention: he can literally commit crimes and try and raise a coup, and his electorate won't care at all. That is of course besides the millions of people who might not really want to vote for a person like Trump, but simply believe with his policies they will have a better chance of paying their groceries, which - sad as it is - is definitely an understandable reason.
