Now I'd like to see William Poromaa try and fail miserably*, after his comments about biathletes basically being failed cross-country skiers.
 
*unlike Nilsson, who like you said gave it a real attempt and definitely did not 'fail'. Most World Cup athletes never get a podium at all in their career, so she's done a fine job. Nice to see her in the races for the real tough ones from now on

She gave it a legitimate attempt, but could not make it work.  I give her lots of props for the attempt.  It had to be frustrating to go from the top of the world to one who is almost irrelevant.  Still a better biathlete than I could ever be :).  Good luck Stina, thanks for showing the world how difficult biathlon is.

A regular Diamond League.

It's confirmed by the Austrian Federation. They gave him the go to compete for the Netherlands: Marcel Hirscher gibt Comeback - Ski-Legende aus Österreich will ab sofort für die Niederlande an den Start gehen - Eurosport

I'm already surprised she is planning to even run anything at all

Super surprising anyway to see doping in a sport where world records set in rocket suits are falling left and right all the time...  

If you can't beat them, make fake sensationalist story about them. 

I am still fond how people who don't like sports are working overtime today to spam the forum.

Best throw since  Ivan Tikhon  in 2008!

And the winner of coolest name to pronounce goes to… 
 
 

What was embarrassing about the race? The times were definitely fine. Women's 200m and men's high jump, those were probably the lowest-level events of the day I'd say

Made the screenshot without looking, because I didn't get to the discus yet, but I hope my blind screenshot caught the full result for you  
 
 

Beautiful victory for Kasia Niewiadoma in the Fleche Wallone, after already finishing 6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd and 2nd in her career, finally she takes the win, her first in almost five years  

Oooh yes, we might have one of those classics again.....Lorena Wiebes sprinted for the win in the Amstel Gold Race and celebrated....but it was too early and Marianne Vos passed her on the line  
 
I keep wondering how someone can act so unmeasurably dumb as a pro cyclist (and the best sprinter in the world, mind you)  

Fantastic analysis by Annemiek van Vleuten on TV: Wiebes' jump wasn't good enough......yeah, possibly because her hands were in the air

Hi everyone! 
 
A bit of a family emergency is going on right now (my dad isn’t doing too well, he’s on his way to the hospital as I type this), which may explain my lack of inactivity on Totallympics and updating all of the various sporting events 
 
If anyone wants to post any of them that’ll be appreciated, and if not then I’ll post them when I’m fully back! 
 
Actually, it might even be within a few days. I’ve just thought about it, and when I’m not busy visiting him at the hospital, I might choose to watch/share results of some sports. Bit of a confusing response I know, but to explain my thought process, watching (along with playing, but irrelevant point) sports and sharing results on Totallympics are two of my favourite things to do. Trying to not worry too much when personal problems is hard for me, and it might be what I need to not freak out and have mental breakdowns every couple of minutes. But we’ll see.

Got our first DL meet coming up on Saturday from Xiamen .  Here's the timetable (local time) and entrants.  Hopefully no presents for local runners this time!

Haven't fields like these been the go-to-place for throwers looking for limits and records for years already?
