Hey, how is everyone doing. It's been a while and it seems a lot has changed since I've last been here.

I try hard but I can't ... I can't understand the strange case of Dr Julia and Ms. Simon

Thanks for the welcome! I am from Mexico and LOVE sports, olympic games summer and winter Will be around indeed

You created an account, on a website dedicated to the Olympic movement, to advocate for the cancellation of the Games? GTFO

Great result for Weger! His last podium was in 18/19 in the Mixed Relay at Pokjuka. His last individual podium was the 11/12 season in the sprint at Kontiolahti.

It seems like the pre-season marriages have left even the French TV confused?

I'm afraid I have too little knowledge on plants sexuality or Chinese classical literature to be a good one. Not like @Olympian1010have helped anybody so far.

Journey to the East, South, and North.

In the anthem question I was the expert you needed... but I wasn't here.

And that ends today's episode with @toulousain who's our first Pts. 250,000 winner. Thanks for playing, I hope you enjoyed it. toulousain ♦ P t s . 2 5 0 , 0 0 0 ♦

My slight knowledge from my two or three lectures on Chinese history only helped count out A

Then I will say that it wasn't the worst decision. Congratulations to 250,000 Points and being the new leader for the moment. TOTAL WINNINGS ♦ P t s . 2 5 0 , 0 0 0 ♦

How is that a 250.000 pts question on a sports forum?

In case dcro is occupied, I am available at the moment as well.

It would have been Poland. The anthem is also known as "Poland Is Not Yet Lost" in English. Interestingly, also the words "Italy", "Bonaparte" and "Swedish" appear in this anthem.

I'm relieved.

And that has brought you 1,000 points. Pts. 1,000 Which group of people commonly arranged executions by letting their victims "walk the plank"? ♦ A: Pirates ♦ B: Crusaders ♦ C: Witch hunters ♦ D: Sultans ♦ P t s . 1 , 0 0 0 ♦

Good luck!

Today marks the halfway mark of the season and I thought it would be interesting to look at athletes that have managed to get themselves into points in every single race of the season. Also, I'll be adding honourable mentions to athletes that scored, but didn't get into mass starts if there are any, so let's go. Men's list: Johannes Thingnes Boe Sturla Holm Laegreid Tarjei Boe Johannes Dale Sebastian Samuelsson Emilien Jacquelin Jakov Fak Benedikt Doll Benjamin Weger Matvey Eliseev Alexander Loginov (missed 1 mass start) Women's list: Marte Olsbu Roeiseland Hanna Oeberg Dorothea Wierer Franziska Preuss Elvira Oeberg Dzinara Alimbekava Marketa Davidova Anais Chevalier-Bouchet Denise Herrmann Linn Persson Karoline Offigstad Knotten Dunja Zdouc

Both races today were amazing Oberhof is usually not amongst my favorite rounds of the season, but this year the conditions, the snow, the races, everything was picturesque. I'm actually a bit sad we are leaving. I don't remember so much snow since they stopped going to Khanty-Mansiysk.

Apparently he learned to ski in Greece before moving to America.

Bellissima Bassino

yeah, I saw the end of that game live... but I've seen too many of those late goals to be really impressed...

I like this podium

Iga Świątek and Łukasz Kubot will join forces to play Mixed doubles in AO. A rehearsal before the two playing together in Tokyo Olympics.

Flipkens is absolutely right. And so is Cornet for calling the whole thing (especially the not being allowed to train) insane.

What I love in Dutch language is that I don't know it at all, but understand quite a lot - just because I know both English and German.

Did anybody else see the crazy finish in the NJ vs Boston game?? The Devils scored to win in OT with 1.7 seconds on the clock.

I wonder if this cat was tested for Corona or not before entering the bubble

I barely understand the problem in Dutch, let alone in English I do know it all started with a massive fraud by tons and tons of Bulgarians, who basically came to the Netherlands to say "Yeah I live here" (meaning they got welfare money to pay rent for a whole year in advance) and "Yeah I have X children" (same thing), got the welfare money on a Dutch account, went back to Bulgaria, took all the money off and never set foot in the Netherlands again. Quite literally free money without anything to do for it, millions of euros disappeared that way. That got a whole ball rolling in tax problems and such: it made rules stricter, but they kinda went too far and made certain rules too strict, which led to people being accused of fraud incorrectly, but having to pay big fines without really have a chance to prove they did not commit fraud. As always, there's some angry people, there's some people who think it's bullshit to have the whole cabinet step down because of it, and so on. Anyway, it won't have much effect since elections are in two months (planned) anyway. Personally I think Rutte will end up being prime minister after the elections again (for a fourth time). Everything on the 'right' to that is just an absolute mess (Thierry Baudet's 'Forum voor Democratie' being the top mess and Geert Wilders' 'Partij voor de Vrijheid' being just your standard 'all Islam should be illegal' kind of moronic talk), a whole host of options more towards the left is either incompetent or just less aligned with my ideas than Rutte's VVD. In the end, VVD is the - in my opinion - best option of the relatively centrist parties, the others in that area are just not my 'thing' (like D66, which often just swings from one side to another depending on what's their mood, or so it seems).

Dutch media reports that Jelinkova has qualified for the Olympics. Adriana will be the second female Dutch skier at the Olympics in history, with Margriet Prajoux-Bouma being the first one in 1952.

Blah blah blah variant, blah blah blah cancellation ...

Lukashenko proposal : During a personal meeting with Fasel, Lukashenko said that despite the protests, Belarus is a safe country. He compared the situation to what was happening in the USA, where supporters of president Donald Trump attacked the Capitol and it resulted in four casualties. "In our country, protesters and otherwise dissatisfied people do not violently attack government buildings. In Belarus, the situation is quite normal from the perspective of the development of democratic processes," Lukashenko said and offered Fasel the opportunity to organize the entire tournament only in Belarus without Latvia. On the sidelines, he said that this would be the best world championship ever.

but this is already the last edition of the Summer Olympics... or do you dare to still name "Olympic" that farce in 2024 with breakdance, canoe extreme, the 35km team race walk and all the other "artistic", urban and youth sh*t they enforced instead of throwing it out... so, how could the ioc reputation be worse than what already is?

Welcome on the forum @Fedde Eyckmans ! Finally an user from

Not many Olympians stayed around here. Tom Goegebuer asked something about qualification and then left. Yonathan Fernandez came to correct heywoodu's erroneous statement and then left too.

There was another (fifth already) flight with infected/tested positive player. Most of qualifiers and lucky losers from Doha will be quarantined for 14 days.

João Tomasini Schwertner, President of the Pan American Canoe Federation (COPAC) has passed away due to Covid-19. In 2019 he was polite to have a chat with me about the 2019 Pan Am Games and the qualification system. RIP João

Nope, cross that off; now it’s 72.

the curse is over...at the 9th attempt, Geisenberger is back on top of the podium...
