Pretty awesome how Dark managed to create a feeling where most viewers are like "wtf is going on, I thought I'd understand but after another episode I just understand it less!" yet still want to press "Next episode" immediately1 point -

Not to be nitpicking, but F2 is not a world championship. There are only four FIA world championships (F1, rally, rallycross and endurance, with Formula E joining it as the 5th one next season). Also, does this mean there'll be a thread for every single F2 and F3 weekend (which is during F1 weekends)? https://totallympics.com/topic/3812-formula-2-fia-world-championship-2020-red-bull-ring/1 point

An aspiring Olympic athlete who was driven to suicide by the abuse of her coaches. Sadly this sort of thing is not uncommon in sport https://gulfnews.com/sport/south-korean-triathlete-choi-suk-hyeon-kills-herself-after-coaching-abuse-reports-1.15936611258790 points -

Sidney Cross, 94 - Athletics Jozef Grzesiak, 79 - Boxing (1×B) Karoly Wieland, 86 - Canoeing (1×B) The total number of former Olympians who passed away in June was 40, just short of this year's high of 42 seen in April. This included six Olympic champions with the sport of water polo hit particularly hard. Two triple gold medallists from Hungary Gyorgy Karpati and Tibor Benedek died within a day of each other. They were from two different generations but both contributed hugely to their country's domination of this sport since the 1930s. Aleksandr Kabanov of the former Soviet Union had an equally distinguished career in the sport winning two gold medals as a competitor before coaching Russia to consecutive titles in Sydney and Athens. In a sad month for Hungary they lost a third Olympic champion with the death of fencer Istvan Kausz who won a gold in the team epee in Tokyo in 1964. Pete Rademacher of the USA was the Olympic heavyweight boxing champion in Melbourne in 1956. Finally, at Munich in 1972 John Cuneo of Australia won a gold medal in sailing's three man Dragon class. Noel Vandernotte of France was one of the few remaining pre-WW11 Olympians at the time of his death. As a 12 year old he coxed both the pair and the four to bronze medals at the 1936 rowing regatta. Marlene Ahrens won a silver medal in the javelin in Melbourne in 1956 and remains the only Chilean woman to win an Olympic medal. Pieter van der Kruk of the Netherlands was a national champion in both weightlifting and shot putting. In an unusual occurrence he qualified for the 1968 Olympics in both sports but ultimately decided that he would concentrate on weightlifting. Lastly it it is particularly sad to note the death of Bobana Velickovic of Serbia who becomes the fourth competitor from Rio to leave us this year.0 points
