Are we sure this was a mistake? This is an IOC release from 2016

For fuck's sake, how often do these federations need to be told? First have a decent World Cup circuit for a few years!

These protests shouldn't have any influence in the outcome of the trial for the murder of this man. They are completely irrelevant for the case.

OTOH, no problems keeping a 2m distance from the other competitors.

The US citizens are the most racist in the world more than Trump, and they play angels on internet The blue pig killed a man

Exactly. This has been a long standing tradition in the US. Every time there is a situation, it is used as an excuse for people to rob stores and take anything they want for free and trash places for fun. I'm sure many of them don't care for the poor guy that died, they just see an opportunity for themselves, because the police won't do anything. Decade after decade, when you have a US riot, you better know that your local normal persons store/business/car is the one at fault.

Marit Bjoergen announced her return from retirement, at 40 she is already preparing for vasaloppet https://www.aftenposten.no/sport/langrenn/i/y3WJaa/bjoergen-tilbake-i-sporet-skal-gaa-vasaloppet?

Italian Serie a will restart 20 june

They’ll probably be let off the hook. They always are. It doesn’t matter how much evidence we have, it’s never enough for a jury to punish a police officer. A majority believe that the protests are valid, but the riots and looting will turn some away for sure.

I wonder what will happen to the policemen involved in the arrest and common people's opinion on the protests/riots? @Olympian1010

BWF has updated its Olympic qualification regulations: https://olympics.bwfbadminton.com/news-single/2020/05/27/bwf-announces-updated-olympic-and-paralympic-qualifying-regulations/ All ranking points earned at tournaments completed during the original Olympic qualification period will be maintained under the Race to Tokyo ranking list. An extended Olympic qualification period will be introduced from Week 1-17 in 2021 and includes the select number of tournaments that were postponed, cancelled or suspended due to COVID-19. These eligible tournaments within the new qualifying period must be completed by Week 17 in 2021. Tournaments rescheduled for the end of 2020 outlined in the revamped BWF Tournament Calendar 2020 released last week will not count towards qualification. Only the 2021 editions of each tournament. Such eligible tournaments within this new qualifying period should preferably take place in the same corresponding week from 2020 to 2021. If this is not possible, BWF will allow sanctioning on another date within Week 1-17 in 2021 subject to approval. Players from China and Hong Kong China will be eligible to earn points from the 2021 Badminton Asia Team Championships as representatives from those Member Associations were not able to participate in the 2020 Badminton Asia Team Championships in Manila due to COVID-19 travel restrictions imposed on athletes from those nations and territories by the Government of the Philippines. This approach has only been implemented for this singular team tournament impacted by the COVID-19 situation as no other team tournaments are included in the extended Olympic qualification period. However, players are offered a range of individual tournaments to enter. A revised BWF Tournament Calendar 2021 with the actual dates for these eligible tournaments will be revealed later.

Man, I'm happy that I live in a country where pretty close to everybody trusts the voting It's truly magnificent seeing Trump being certain that mail-in votes means voter fraud while pretty much everybody around him use it!

No it will not. Because it gain the NOC during colony period and the border still exist. Most western countries are visa free to Hong Kong but not Mainland China. With the same reason, China proposes Macau to become NOC member, but Macau failed to get it during colony period, so it’s very hard after the hand-over. Basically Macau athletes are not capable to win any trials to represent PRC attending Olympics. BTW China always claims Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan affairs are internal affairs, it's not a new saying. The only thing that may changes is USA will raise tax on Hong Kong goods as it "lose" autonomous status and claiming the sanction will help Hong Kong people.

No sorry, I'm not a former student of UANL nor a subscriber of the newspaper, and I think neither is @RiSeGwangFan

Not quite a publication yet. Only a twitter page. I can’t run a publication while trying to do good in school & play baseball every weekend. That would be a nightmare. I will wait a few years to expand my college football empire!!!

1,000+ deaths in 24 h in Brazil. 5,500+ deaths in 7 days. Still, the president and state governors want people to return to normal everyday life. I'm getting crazy in this country.

Hey, blog’s a blog. We all have to start somewhere. Totallympics Media wasn’t even a thing this time last year. Me and @Vojthas had just begun planning our first podcast episode around this time last year. Well in terms of American Football fans around here, you have @Monzanator and then @bmo (who runs a college football publication I believe). Myself and bmo are both Lions fans. I can’t remember who Monzanator cheers for.

Are you calling Totallympics Media crappy? Where’s that “how dare you button” when I actually need it. We’re already acquainted from Twitter by the way. We’ve had some really fun discussions about international sports, and (more importantly for @bmo) American Football.

Not sure why you think that populous countries should have advantages in technology and research, but many countries that are doing great in those areas are rather small countries (Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Israel, Ireland, Finland, Singapore, the Netherlands). I also don't think that you can trust the official death stats in the US. I saw some stat today that in many states there have been far more pneumonia deaths than usual those last couple of months. For example in Indiana there were 2149 pneumonia deaths, while the five year average is 384. In Illinois there were 3984 pneumonia deaths, while the five year average is 782, and so on ... Either you believe that this is a coincidence unrelated to coronavirus or you have to assume that the deaths are massively undercounted in the US. I think a conservative guess for the real number of deaths would be 150 000.

Public gatherings of 100 people are now allowed in Croatia. During the past five days combined, only one new case was detected!
