Too bad the only relevant country that hasn't hosted ( Germany) did not bid

A country finishing in the top 10 at every Summer Olympics since 1992 is irrelevant at the games? Haha...

I don't but the with the changes in bidding, you can talk with the IOC about future events too. The COC prefers a summer games, over winter and no surprise in that reasoning.

They won't. They are officially banned because their doping plan apparently can't be approved in time for the start of IEC. World Athletics rejected their first plan. It's done.

Serbian Open Indoor Meeting, Beograd, Feb. 24, 2021 Women's High Jump: Morgan Lake (1.96m) https://www.worldathletics.org/competition/calendar-results/results/7154986

lol... https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1104615/ioc-set-to-choose-queensland-for-2032#

https://twitter.com/ShannonMM9/status/1364642291051159553 The IOC has selected Brisbane, Australia as it's preferred bidder for 2032. In other news sure looks like Surfing is in the Summer Olympics long term.

Beach volleyball strikes a blow for Human Rights! Beach volleyball stars will be allowed to wear bikinis on court during a tournament in Qatar next month, the sport's governing body said after a pair of German players vowed to boycott the event. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9295529/Volleyball-stars-allowed-wear-bikinis-Qatar-games-German-duo-vowed-boycott.html

Actually looking at the qualification document, the quota will be reallocated to the highest ranked boat from an NOC not yet qualified at the World Championships. Only after none remains that a spot would open up at the final qualification event.

Italian Raisport showed the Qualification races live I have them, though I dont know if its allowed to share the links to watch and if yes, where to share those links

"The quota place/s is/are allocated to the NOC and is/are gender specific. The selection of athletes for any quota place(s) are at the discretion of the NOC subject to the eligibility requirements."

"Mark, you were one of the first racers to go out there and fight the snow today." Right.

Let's just stop the count at the finish now!

Cool, Brian Kennedy's rhythm on the uphill coincided exactly with the hoofbeats of a horse passing by on the street outside my window

Shemshaki shown as leading Moeller by 10 monutes at 7.9 km. Briliant integrity.

@brunamoura 18th at the line. Was losing time since the first split. 20th finally. Raquel Sukkar had to be rescued by St Bernards, I think. Seems odd that Karen Chanloung was also in the race, she is a World Cup regular.

Except maybe a certain biathlete...

Good luck to the Totallympians chasing Olympic qualification today! (@Jesús @brunamoura) I’ll be cheering for y’all.

ISSF World Cup for Shotgun starts in Cairo today. Among the Indians all the prominent shoutgunners are participating including Olympic bound Mairaj Ahmed Khan and Angad Bajwa https://www.issf-sports.org/competitions/venue.ashx?cshipid=2990

Saul Garcia, never heard of him before, mexican competing for HAITI??? wow So, Mexican rowers can only get ONE quota from this competition right? I hope Kenia Lechuga can go to the final world olympic qualification (if there is one held) and get that spot

A ver si encontramos pronto al sucesor de Alejandro Cardenas y Juan Pedro Toledo, uuuuuh ya llovio desde esos tiempos! Recuerdo a un chico que se metio a la semifinal en Rio de los 200 metros; pero no he sabido mas de el. Ni recuerdo su nombre! pero en efecto, no hay planeacion en nuestro deporte en general. Lastima, estoy seguro que por ahi debemos tener decenas (si decenas) de Guevaras, Cardenas, Riveras, para destacar en el atletismo; toda vez que con pocos recursos se ha visto que se ha hecho algo decente. No sabia que participaban mexicanos en el mundial de esqui nordico. Ojala obtengan papeles decentes, suficientes para que logren puntos de cara a una posible clasificacion olimpica en 2022 Tenemos a 5 competidores: Pedro Montes de Oca, Rodrigo Rangel, Antonio Pineyro y Jonathan Soto,

Djokovic is the goat of tennis. He's not as popular as Nadal or Federer though and always gets bashed since he has the wrong flag.

Mucho de esto viene de una falta total de plan de trabajo de la federación nacional, con un buen cuadro de técnicos y especialistas por cada disciplina. Sin ello, difícilmente veremos mejora numérica en participación y cualitativa en cada atleta. Cambiando un poco de tema, lista la delegación mañana para el Mundial de Esquí. Dedos cruzados para que al menos uno de ellos logre calificar a Beijing. Al menos, nuestra competidora logro captar la atención de Espn: Mexicana ser la 1ra en asistir a JJOO de Invierno

It's in the qualification document https://nocnsf.nl/media/1697/fisa-rowing.pdf

Paola tiene muy buen futuro, en efecto, en Doha se quedo a decimas de haber clasificado a la FINAL, creo es guardando las proporciones un resultado aun mas sorprendente que el que tuvo Ana Guevara en su momento en su primer mundial aunque claro en los 90's en los mundiales de Atletismo se competia en 4 rondas, una mas que actualmente. Esta marca se antoja entonces como un buen presagio de cara a la temporada outdoor, ojala que pueda tener el apoyo para una gira europea seria importantisimo foguearse y llegar al cien a Tokio. A Valente lo vi 'bien' a secas, en sus dos oportunidades en la American Track League no destacó. Su paso a las ligas mayores debera darse rapido si es que pretende clasificar a Tokio, cosa que sinceramente veo dificil, quiza sus Juegos son los de Paris 2024.

@mrv86 @Olympian1010 You'll be allowed in soon again, as well as others who have played before. I'll compile runs in "seasons" which allows for every player to play once per season. There has been a big gap after the first seven games, so I'll just declare Season 1 as over. Season 2 will be open for everybody interested again. Either starting this weekend or if I don't have the time, then next week.

Test result came back negative, we're on! Time for the most physically painful 15 minutes or so of her life.

You can't be that naive anymore? It's all about the money and big business. The word integrity, transparency blah blah mean nothing, absolutely nothing. The more things change, the more they stay the same Btw, Qatar will host Summer OG eventually. They have enough money and desire to push through with the idea. Besides, "racial equality" crap preached by the liberals demands SOG should be hosted by a Muslim country one day? Or is it about equality for everyone except the Muslims?

I like how the bidding reforms that were meant to make the process more “transparent” and trustworthy, have resulted in this.

Notice! Due to the warm weather conditions, the sprint races have been moved to an earlier time. The deadline is now February 25th, 9:00 (GMT +1)

Could anyone verify if this news true and what's the extent of this influence? This is widely reported by Chinese We media and I feel China can't wait one more minute to offer financial support for Scotland. And if needed, please don't hesitate to contact Beijing for money, in a secrete way for sure.

Disappointed at Medvedev, I really did think he would win before the game but it ended too quickly......

My teenager period idol Rain is back with an updated East Asian aesthetic looking.

The song I enjoyed from the New Year eve concert "No Fear In My Heat". It's the theme song of the film "Path of the Soul". It's about the pilgrimage of a group of Tibetan to their holy mountain, Mount Kailash, which is considered the center of the world. MV: Live of the concert:

You get into difficulties very quickly if you blur the line between victims & criminals.

The Girls from our team had a charity auction to gather money for fellow gymnast Valeriia Yuzviak, who was diagnosed with an aggressive tumor of the soft tissues. The UKR federation will cover some of the costs for her treatment in Germany, but it won't be enough, so our girls are doing auctions for a Euro medal, leotards, their favourite clubs etc. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLUEMFDhugg/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CLfEATyjM2T/
