But then you get a nice fruit salad.

Injected when she was sleeping really !!and she felt nothing?

at my last check-up, I was tested positive for losartan potassium and hydrochlorothiazide... actually, I was so doped that the tube exploded... of course, I got a lifetime ban on any too salted food (and all other foods causing blood pressure problems)...

Ice climbing feels like it fits exactly in the category of sports you wouldn't want at the Winter Olympics (winter versions of summer sports) Like ice hockey of course, another winter version of a summer sport.

As for Szczęsny there's a common reference in the hockey players Peter & Paul Stastny. If any English commentator realized that, they'd pronounce his name that way instead of botching it most of the time. Szczęsny & Stastny basically mean the same thing. Speaking of tough names (I know, it's not biathlon but it's the offseason yet).

Hello! ? Just to make clear, only after posting my team, I noticed that I mixed "nation" "athlete". The choices are there, anyway. I hope it doesn't give me problems ??

Gossip time. Peter Sagan new look

Well, believe it or not, you have 7 of the 8 I´ll not say you which one here, in case of anyone else want to participate too. I´ll send you a PM

Do you have a word with only Slovak letters (I mean diacrits). We do: żółć (that yellow liquid from liver).

Not very fair and again a OQT in France But I will not complain, maybe the little help we need to get to Tokyo

It gets very, very sordid... I'm out. For anyone interested, well, the internet is yours.

it's too easy, man! the only tricky question to me is the no. #5... 1 - B (but if he does it to save a goal, the goal is automatically allowed in any case) 2 - C 3 - B 4 - A 5 - A 6 - C (at least, I hope) 7 - B 8 - B

These Games will really be a disaster if the President comes late to the opening ceremonies and/or delivers a rambling speech to the athletes before he declares the Games open.

I think someone has watched too many "sleepy fuck" videos on youporn... Guys! sorry to kill your excitement, but those are all fake videos...you can't be fucked (or get something injected...it's the same, more or less...) while sleeping and don't even get aware it happened...

With Lithuania having a huge selection of two entire women for biathlon world cup, Kočergina will have the privilege of starting in both of the relays

4 of 8

do you have a sentence in Polish with no vowel? because we have. Stick a finger through the throat is in CZ and SK languages "Strč prst skrz krk" obviously you read every letter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strč_prst_skrz_krk

3-8

Just one scene from one movie: "How did I start the WWII"

Cornu had no chance after his bad bouldering and his last place in lead helped Mawem a bit (although in the end it didn't make any difference).

Nope , the last quota goes to Song Yiling of China

We all have heard batshit crazy doping excuses for years now. Well this one might actually be true https://www.lequipe.fr/Athletisme/Actualites/Ophelie-claude-boxberger-innocentee/1084892 Some guy who apparently was her former coach, but then she dropped him after accusing him of sexual abuse, but then he reappeared in her life after becoming her mother boyfriend and a training partner (ffs !), did confess to the police that he injected her some EPO while she was sleeping.!

It's not so difficult: the best 3 results of the 6 World cup stages will count for ranking, then There are the World Championships at the end of February that Wil give much more points, it's still open and I still think France is the favourite to qualify women pursuit. No chances for the men(probably even winning the world the championships won't be enough) even if they are way more competitive than the women

that's another very low & dirty trap... but it's worth a smile in any case...

I’m glad you didn’t fall for the trap. I know much loves their hockey.

Not going to fall in your trap. a poor and very, very low trap. You´ll have to try harder next time

I see it differently...as I wrote, I'm a damn old conservative traditionalist... I don't like combined events at all...it's like mixing pears and apples...

On the bright side: that makes it even more clear it was their wax that was great in the morning, not their veins

And the Philippines will win their first medal in men’s water polo since 2011. If they defeat Malaysia on the last day of competition, they’ll win the silver medal ahead of Singapore

controversial issue, to say the least... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_doping https://www.researchgate.net/publication/306052031_Debunking_the_Myth_of_Pregnancy_Doping my opinion...becoming mother normally give women stronger motivations and reinforce their determination*...that's the real and only advantage being an athlete-mom gives women... *if they don't fall into post-pregnancy depression, which is always a risk...

Indonesia secured first gold from water polo

I don't think they sold a lot of tickets. So there aren't going to be a lot of angry people. But you have to feel for the fans who made an effort to buy tickets. They were told to consider the money they paid as a "contribution"

still, imho they have to deserve that reward, i.e. getting at least good (nobody ask them to be medal contenders) in that discipline... what we saw last Summer with the Korean Waterpolo teams at the world champs is absolutely unacceptable to me...

Exactly

Any doping news?

Favorite day of the year . We got between 3 and 4 inches on the valley floor, 1 foot in the smaller hills, and 2 - 3 feet in the mountains. Got the opportunity to tobogganing. Here’s a few pictures from around the house:

If you're talking country wide no one cares about anything beyond the main sports outside of Olympics. But still I wouldnt put water polo in the same sentence as handball.

Agree. For me, the problem lies with the organizing committee being headed by a politician looking to use it as a springboard to further his political ambitions. What makes things worse is the committee's failure to seek advice from the people who worked on the Games the last time they were held in the country in 2005. They also refused to seek assistance from other government departments or the public sector.

I can't speak for other countries but here no one that was part of the last dictatorship holds any political position of any kind or has any political relevance. In part because of time (the last military government ended 35 years ago, so most people are dead), in part because the military (as a whole) lost all respect from the people after their last government due to their criminal actions (kidnapping, torture, executions) and also their terrible management of the economy. Nowadays, the military are not a political actor anymore and any attempt of a coup would be met with strong rejection from the public, which was not the case 40/50 years ago. I reckon in some other countries it's different (eg. in Chile Pinochet and the military had decent support even years after they left, in Brazil they have some people like Bolsonaro who more or less reivindicates the military dictatorship).

this is kind of funny, Zhang Yuetong ruined her compatriot's chance , she sent Gibert to the last Olympic spot for now instead of Song. it will be up to the last climber , it will be between Gibert and Song 5 quotas are already decided I think Slovenia Italy France Russia USA
