Exactly 4 years ago the new Totallympics forum had been opened Many users remained, some users left and some new users arrived, but overall I think it has been a beautiful journey which is of course always in progress. Here you can find the first thread and the very first posts of the new Totallympics: Totallympics New Start Happy Birthday Totallympics!

The (almost) final map Debuting countries (1): Returning countries (5): (A2019), (A2019), (A2018), (O2013), (O2017) Countries who participated at O2019 and didn't return (5):

Boxing IOC Asian & Oceanian Olympic Games Qualifier 2020 Amman (JOR) - 3 March 2020 - 11 March 2020 Official Website

Because the super dysfunctional US election system punishes that party which splits first.

Apparently he ate raw bull's meat to intimidate his opponents. Since it must have contained clenbuterol (like any meat) - surely he retroactivelly loses all those titles.

Leonidas of Rhodes - 4 gold medals in stadion and dialous.

Biggest surprise here would be that a majority of Americans even knows 'the Netherlands' (or even the incorrect 'Holland') is a country.

Because "we" eat frogs (although it's not something common. I personally never ate frogs and I don't ever want to try same with snails)

I saw a priest wearing a mask yesterday in Nuremberg while giving mass. Kind of useless when you see that everyone left the church and took turns touching the "holy water" and putting it in their face

because that's not happened yet, it will start in half an hour. I think we will have the brackets in 2 hours.

UIPM World Championships, May 23-31, moved to Cancun, Mexico

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lechia It's basically the same as some German clubs using the old Prussian name Borussia. We have clubs called Lechia in Poland instead

The real gold is when you get your hands on some boxes of cigarettes. When all hell breaks loose, they're gonna be worth an absolute fortune when those addicts 'need' to smoke

Methinks yes, and even more for Ainslie, at best you can consider it in the "same" event if an event is replaced by another one, which is not the case here.

We were all issued with hand sanitizers today at work. Considering the shops are all sold out of these, I feel like I have been given a piece of treasure

There is a ranking, points are given for last 2 World Championships and the last Continental Games- but for Asia they considered the Asian Championships, the Asian Games do not count because not all weight categories were present. First 4 boxers are seeded, the rest are drawn.

Yeah, that must be the one I’m thinking of. I remember they had special graphics up so the races were taking place in a kind of Tintin place called Antholz-Hochfilzen, Antholz-Pokljuka etc etc

Half of the 2000/01 season was held in Anterselva They hosted three rounds in December 2000 replacing Hochfilzen, Pokljuka AND Osrblie Then in January they hosted their own scheduled round.

The series of Rafael Nadal’s rituals - Nadal takes a freezing cold shower, 45 minutes before the match. - He wears both socks at the same height. - He carries one racket onto the court, and five rackets in his bag. - Takes off the jacket while jumping, facing the audience. - He always places his bottles in the same exact position. - Jumps at the net during the coin toss. - Runs to the baseline for warmups - He places his hair behind his ear and fiddles with his shorts or underwear before each serve. - Crosses the sidelines with his right foot only and avoid stepping on it. - Nadal uses a towel after every single point. - He ensures his opponent crosses the net before he does during a changeover. - He sips his energy drink and then his water, always in the same order.

They are coming

First day schedule http://boxing.athlete365.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/C58D0303.pdf I assume they will publish the brackets too, very soon

try this link. I don't know if that's what you are looking for.

The Czech athletes/Staff/federation are not happy at all, Michal Krčmář said this "will be like sex without orgasm" Eva Puskarčíková answered "sex without orgasm and second person" and criticized the government decision as well

Well nothing about the seeding, as I said I only know first round opponents for our boxers and I can tell you none of your male boxers will qualify with one win ! because both of your heavier boxers will face Iran in Round of 16. and there will be another Iran-China in Round of 32 tomorrow at 81kg.

it seems I was very optimistic when I said then will post the draw in 2 hours. I don't know when that IOC task force will publish it. Iranian boxing federation only published first round opponents for Iranian boxers, we will have lots of IRN/CHN in the first round none of them will face KAZ or UZB in the first round which is a good thing. even though considering our current level any boxer will be considered "tough" for our boxers.

Shaking hands has basically stopped here, but everything else goes like we are used to. Luckily, in Germany only few people kissing each other on the cheeks to say hello Today, my employer has decreed that everyone has to do home office for the entire March if there is no urgent occasion to meet people in person. That means I have to come to office exactly once this month for a meeting

Entries are now officially closed.

TUNISIAN ENTRY Amal Cherif - No No Original Lyrics (Tunisian Arabic Dialect) English Translation

Fun fact... I believe Jazzu is the first returning winning artist.

I've only seen that in football on TV, never in real life (apart from my sister when she talks while eating, but she holds up like one finger as if that covers anything )

I remember that disastrous feeling during the Lillehammer Youth Winter Olympics when there were any Totallympics... So glad that the Totallympics project found new courage and desire to continue. Obviously many will argue the new version is not the original Totallympics with the main focus on all results from all different sports in one place lost (honnestly I am one of them...) but different circumstances forced us to take this new path. But obviously, it is very good that our community has not died out and we are moving on. Happy birthday Totallympics and to all our old and new Totallympians !

I still remember January 2012 when i first registered. New beginning was such an important moment for me. So, after 8 years on Totallympics, its obvious what it means for me. Happy birthday!

I read a US political piece but that was over 10 years ago that everything Netanyahu does is fuelled by his anger over his brother's death (esp. when it comes to West Bank settlements). Ramallah, Gaza Strip and Hamas are the resident bad guys but world terrorism has moved forward a lot in the last few years to the point these guys look like complete amateurs. Car bombs and knife attacks don't mean a thing in the global terrorism picture anymore.

A mother and her daughter are the patients. They got it from a Japanese friend who visited them (this guy currently isolated in Malaysia). Now everyone is panic buying masks

Happy Rebirthday Totallympics Cheers to everyone who's been here since day 1 of the new Totallympics and to everyone who came here after that

I was registered on the old forum as well and registered here on March 2, 2016 so one can say I'm here from the start. And my first post was in the Biathlon Discussion thread because obviously it's biathlon Gotta say I had my doubts when the old forum folded but it seems this community has survived the wipeout after all

Final Standing available here toulousain Dunadan dcro What a battle for the first place! One point separated 1st and 2nd place. In the end, it was @toulousain who came out as the victor. The single perfect prediction in contest turned out to be very important. It's already @toulousain's second gold medal this year. He is the first to win two medals this season. A big congratulation once again, @toulousain! He was close to win yet another gold medal, but he had to stay in the 2nd position on the final day. When @Dunadan choose to participate in a prediction contest, he is almost guaranteed to win a medal. An impressive contest once again from his side. Likely not the last medal we will see @Dunadan win this season. Congrats and huge respect to you, @Dunadan! @dcro follow in toulousain's footsteps, as he secures himself another medal this season. Many strong predictions from his hand brings him a well-deserved bronze medal in this contest. Second bronze medal this month. Congrats, @dcro! You can look back on a good month in Totallympics prediction contest for you. @Agger and @PakoNatxo have been really close twice today of winning a medal. A bit of bad fortune for both of you. However, you can both be proud of two great contests. @Giovanni Gianni Cattaneo continues a good season start with a terrific 5th place. @Monzanator didn't win his second medal today, but a marvelous final day place him in the upper tier for the second prediction contest of today. As usual, thanks to all who participated! A busy February has come to an end for the users. March has already begun, and the first month of the Spring for many users will be less crowded. Due to the ongoing worldwide spreading of COVID-19, many sport events have been cancelled or postponed. This has also affected some of the suggested predicton contests for March. At moment, we will have one prediction contest in March. The Prediction Group will discuss if it will be a Women's Curling WCH contest or a Figure Skating WCHs contest. You will be noticed soon. Lastly, I will update the General Standings and Medal Tables in one of the upcoming days. That's all from me, your prediction contest manager, Wumo.

It's a shame Karate has been removed from 2024 Olympic programme, their federation job would deserve an Olympic spot. I don't even want to think about how difficoult will be to follow Breakdancing qualification

The cover-up at the beginning is definitely wrong and the death of Dr. Li Wenliang triggered great anger of public. Lots things the government have to recall and improve after this outbreak. But I really don't think people should use this as a leverage to judge China's system, government, ideology again, at least not this very moment. No one could predict this virus so contagious at the beginning and since it's already happen, What we should do right now is making every effort to contain it and make people's life back to normal as soon as possible. Actually Chinese people are not that innocent to be manipulated by government. Don't live in media and talk to your Chinese friend.

Actually 5million people went out from Wuhan is not the people we should blame. Most of them didn't know they are in a very dangerous situation and they are not aware that they may be patients. They are just normal Chinese spring festival migrants to their hometown for family gathering or taking a vacation somewhere with family. The number 5 million is no big difference from past years. They are also victims like everyone else in Wuhan. If you have to make someone bare this responsibility, it should be the government. They announce it's infectious between humans too late. So the big migration already happen and lots people already infected. It's 20th Jan night when people know it's infectious and 23th Jan announce the lockdown which effective from 10am that day.

s It's the typical reaction of Chinese government when facing some uncertainties. Government tend to cover things up to maintain to stability and not to create panic emotions. Stability is the top priority in China. But they are not scientists or doctors, they can't predict how contagious and fatal it is. When the first trustworthy expert told people it can be infected between human on state-run media, it is already 20th Jan. Things are already beyond control.

Finally, 2019 was the most active year on record in terms of posts with a new record total of 78606 being set in 2019 (+1116 on the previous record of 2018 which was 77490)..... New Record Alert!! Most posts in a year: 78606 2019

He's playing in the qualifiers for the World Baseball Classic, not the Olympics. The Philippines are not a part of Olympic baseball qualifiying

I really appreciate the fact that they're not givin'up and trying to ensure a fair competition to all the teams fighting for Olympic spots...

The FIE is not giving up - the date is confirmed and the stage relocated to Luxembourg.

She is a great player, feel sad her career ended up as this way. Personally I would forgive her for the drama doping case.
