Fuc*ing Oeberg . Disqualification for her !!!!!!!

Nice to read your predictions. For me Antoinette de Jong and Natalia Voronina are the clear favourites at the women's side, Nils van der Poel will win the men's race tomorrow, although I hope for Patrick Roest that he can finally become world champion on a single distance.

They are Aussies! So they are "proud" and "passionate" and "enthusiastic" so it's okay for them. But if they were Greek or Serbian for example, they would be labeled as "rowdy" and "drunk" and "nationalistic"

In terms of most watched sporting events in 2020 here is our top 10.... 1 Gaelic Football All-Ireland Final: Dublin v Mayo 876.6k 2 Rugby Six Nations: France v Ireland 850.3k 3 Hurling All-Ireland Final: Limerick v Waterford 712.9k 4 Rugby Six Nations: Ireland v Scotland 635.8k 5 Rugby Six Nations: England v Ireland 634.4k 6 Rugby Six Nations: Ireland v Wales 605.2k 7 Football Euro 2020 Play-Off: Slovakia v Ireland 570.4k 8 Rugby Six Nations: Ireland v Italy 540.6k 9 Hurling All-Ireland Semi-Final: Limerick v Galway 534.0k 10 Gaelic Football All-Ireland Semi-Final: Mayo v Tipperary 533.2k

Events for Rhythmic seems still confirmed, there are also some continental events to be confirmed. Trampoline also has to confirm continental events. Only European has been confirmed so far, if I am not wrong. There were 3 WC events confirmed for Trampoline, the first one scheduled to February was cancelled. The others are still confirmed.

Truly remarkable shooting in this conditions. But the record: Holmenkollen 2016 - Belarus - 1 spare round (9th), interesting fact, Austria was 5th with second best shooting score (0+3)

I went back home right when Anaïs Chevalier started her standing shooting, guess I bring the French bad luck... Norway won as expected. Amazing relay for Austria! Only 2 spares, that's maybe not a record, but it's not far from it, impressive shooting!

24 finishers out of 27 starters. Not bad at all

Moldova was very good today with not their best team. 22nd place with 0+15.

Yay! The US didn’t get lapped. 12th today.

Canada in 8th ahead of the RBU

Slow-motion sprint for the bronze.

Would've been a nice ending if only Olsbu missed once more.

Official press release from NBC.. NBC OLYMPICS TO PROVIDE UNPRECEDENTED NETWORK COVERAGE OF TOKYO OLYMPICS OPENING CEREMONY Definitely a welcome change of pace. Love to see an entire day of Olympics coverage surrounding the Opening Ceremony rather than the usual "we're editing the whole thing for primetime." I'm not normally a morning person, but I'll certainly make an exception that morning!!

This is the time to remind everone Olena Pidrushna was born in Poland

Come now, Tiril, have like 27 misses to have an interesting race.

Poland and the US still with 0+0!

NBC will air the Tokyo 2020 Opening Ceremony LIVE at 7am ET. This is the first time ever that they are airing the opening ceremony live in a morning time slot. They will also have a replay in the normal prime time spot.

Like watching a man on a tightrope crossing the Niagara Falls.

At least the last two times it was women - men, didn't bother to check further To be honest, I like when they mix the order up. As far as I'm concerned, mixed relays at the highest level (so WC, WCH and OG) should always be women - men followed by men - women - followed by women - men and so on. Not much about equality, it's just more fair to have a roughly 50/50 balance in the order in an event where things like final sprints are a thing - and so always having the same order always benefits countries who have stronger men/women (depending on who's always last). The exact distances have changed quite often recently if I'm not mistaken, it seems like they've been trying it out for a while now. I'm fairly sure I've seen mixed relays with equal distances before.

Mank getting most Golden Globes noms says it all. The film that shamelessly preaches about Hollywood being bad for its involement in politics (but during the 1930s - for the Republicans). As a film alone, it's just really boring and unimaginative.

Just what the qualification for the marathon at the OG need, a big mass event done just for more people to do the qualifiying mark.......

Even modern pentathlon was better when they had to load physical lead pellets, because it was harder to do than just recocking.

All very well in theory, but biathlon is about balancing shooting & skiing. Since women are smaller & the rifle is the same, longer races just give even more of an advantage to the strong skiiers/weak shooters.

Well, I would disagree. Biathlon is about skiing/shooting combo. Penalty loops are flat, so relatively speaking, women do not lose as much time to men compared to downhills and especially climbs. So unless penalty loops are made bigger for women, skiing will become (even) more important than shooting. Aside from being inconvenient, using different penalty loops will again bring up the distance inequality, so there is no reason to change it. As for the individual, 1 min of penalty can be made up considerably more easily in a 55 min-race than in a 45 min-race.

Yeah, just ask Sweden, Norway, France, Germany, RBF...

Sorry, Kaja Juvan will go through. ?

It’s really off topic, but today is the anniversary for me , joined to you wonderful people exactly one year ago so thank you guys for everything and for many years to come

Apparently Dorothea is ill...
