IJsbrand :cheer:

 

 

Is it really "IJsbrand" and not "Ijsbrand"? Seeing that capital J more often than not annoys me. :p

 

But anyway, IJsbrand/Ijsbrand kind of flopped on yesterday's marathon...

Yes, it really is IJsbrand :p 

 

The 'ij' is considered to be one letter in Dutch and so both are written in capital form in a name or at the beginning of a sentence (when a sentence start with 'IJshockey' for example, ice hockey).

Look! Apparently an Olympic fencing champion from 1976 has randomly appeared at the presentation ceremony.

No, that's just silly.

 

Spoiler

'Brand' means fire, so his literally translated name would be 'Ice Fire'.

Why does that lady on the right have one of those cheap airline flight attendant scarfs around her neck?

Well, flight attendant randomly appearing only fulfills this random picture of randomness.

By the way, is it me, is it this picture or has Bach gotten really much fatter lately?

 

I don't think it's the picture. Probably just all those mixed gender meals he's been devouring.

    • Weightlifting formula is more or less similar to 2020 which was considered terrible by everybody!    this is a tough sport, you can't be in your best shape for too many events. there will be risks of serious injuries this way. with these rules you need 5 good results to qualify. if you bomb out in an event to score a zero you are out of the Olympics unless you replace it with another event. which means most of these poor guys have to participate in 7-8 events (and not just 5) to make up for possible bomb outs.    most importantly if you get injured anytime during this period (almost 2 years) you are out of the Olympics! that's how Sohrab Moradi missed the Tokyo Olympics despite breaking the WR during the qualification period. you can miss the Olympics in 2028 if you get injured late 2026 !  Karlos Nasar couldn't win the Olympic title if we had these rules in 2024   I understand 2024 qualification formula wasn't great either, it had its own flaws but this one is much worse for threatening athletes' health.
