Played Swedish singles curling championships last weekend. Had some big misses that destroyed the chance to defend my title but ended up 4th.

Real tragedy that Europe has to suffer a handful of Olympic sports where they aren't one of the two or three most important continents.

they should have played Reistad in a totally different way... you just can't let a woman like her score half the goals of her team at this level by the way, are destroying in the 2nd semifinal...boring match so far...

feel sorry for Denmark. that was a tough defeat to swallow, I think they were leading something like 59 minutes in the regular time. but Norway is the best team in the world for a reason.

Youth Olympic year. NFs need that exposure/funding

And that's without Norway, Sweden, Finland, United States, China, Japan, that could've easily lifted the number up to 41

Cristina Neagu retired from Romanian national team after this tournament Being for years the best player in the world, Romania will mis her for sure in the future, but we have other talented girls coming from behind. Thank you Cristina for all wonderful moments in your entire career I'm proud of you, your achievements and your career.

I didn't, I'll watch it later. Fwiw the boxer she lost to is a former world bronze medalist.

Gold and silver for Mikael Kingsburyand Elliot Vaillancourt at the Alpe D’Huez moguls WC! For Vaillancourt, it’s a first career WC medal!

in the old glory days, it was normally twice a year... nowadays there are new training methods, new ideas, a lot more scientific knowledge around physiology, some money can be earned in the commercial meets (that didn't exist until a few years ago)... so, many swimmers can keep a very high level of performance through almost the whole season, or at least through the main stints in a season but a true peak, really at 100% of their chances, it's maybe twice a year for those who have tough internal selection, if not even only once a year (the "Big" event) for those who can afford that (the stronger Italians, for instance, are among them)

Las Vegas Raiders beat LA Chargers 63-21 last night and both Chargers GM Telesco & HC Brandon Staley have been fired. It's the most points Raiders have scored in their history and most points allowed by Chargers ever.

Wins for and in the 5-8 place-matches, so they'll play for the 5th place. But no one knows for which OQT they play. and decide - after the 5-6 place match - together which OQT will be the easier one.

2024 BPT Calendar:

A bit crazy to have continental and world championship only few weeks apart. And then Olympics two months later

“This event will be the last major stop on the tour to qualify for the Paris Olympics“

2024 IJF Judo World Championships will take place from May 19-24 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates! https://www.ijf.org/news/show/the-2024-world-championships-to-be-hosted-in-abu-dhabi#:~:text=The International Judo Federation is,Abu Dhabi in May 2024.

The team was supposed to be selected at the beginning of October and announced at the end of November but not sure that they stuck to their own schedule.

unless i am mistaking, as the final in the goalball women european championship is and and has the qualification from the world championship has the quata to paris in women's goalball

What a disastrous competition for Brazil in the men's street. Not at least a semifinal for Hoefler, Vianna or Rabelo.

Thomas Ceccon likely to skip the World Champs (decision not official yet, but his coach released an inteview that basically confirmes that) p.s. the 50m Pool Europeans will be held from June 10th through June 23rd, site is still TBA...that's crazy! it means that not a single swimmer going to Paris will be there, wherever they will be

To be fair, quite a large number won't make it to the third or even second athlete For example the Brazilian girls are there, but since the guys start first, I am not sure they're even actually going to the venue today (like when Brazil started in the mixed relay in an IBU Cup some years ago, it was woman-woman-man-man, and the second of the two men wasn't even in the same country )

Canada just lost to Ukraine in the first game of men's World B junior championship!

No chance for her in a pursuit, with the time that she's shooting in right now. She could go 0+0+0+0 and wouldn't move up probably.

I give credit to Chinese Taipei and Turkiye who were big underdogs for playing tough for at least 2 periods. However in Iceland Bulgaria & South Africa were just bombed. Totally outclassed.

Harbir Sidhu, and Manveer Jhamat are new additions. Second goalkeeper Zack Coombs is out, along with Sean Davis.

Looking at the ages of these dudes, I say this is a proper boomer sport. Our youngest is 32 years old Future is bright.

I think having male and female separation is enough.

Actually I'm for the no. I like the idea to have THE best athlete.

Netherlands for sure want to play in OQT2. Don't forget has one of the best players in the world (Ana Gros) and is simply a very underestimated team (they always draw France and Norway in the early stages, like this year). The match for places 7 and 8 is played after the match for places 5 and 6. So if there is a loss somewhere on purpose, it is in the match for places 7 and 8.

Lucky Hungary, but still deserved. The past years I really enjoyed watching the Hungarian players. Like last month, when I watched their friendly match against The Netherlands live in the stadium. And for you as a fan @Vektor really nice too. I remember all your amazement, anger and disappointment about the Hungarian women's team over the years on this forum. Then it's nice to get a great chance at the Games. Hopefully they make it in the end!

Lol, Vytautas Strolia 1+0 managed to get a medal here I'm rather more surprised with Maksim Fomin 0+0 in 6th, only 4 seconds behind Vytautas. Hopefully he can showcase it on the snow, with Kaukėnas and Dombrovski in bad form for what feels like decades, Fomin could become our nr. 2
