Final Standing available here Gianlu33 Federer91 Speedy A busy February for the predictors has reached its end. With the Nordic Skiing World Championships prediction contest now completed, the three medallists for this contest can now get honoured. The three medallists are @Gianlu33, @Federer91 and @Speedy. Big congratulation to all three medallists. On top of the podium is @Gianlu33. As the only predictor reaching a three-digit total with an impressive 103 points in total and only one of four predictors to have two perfect predictions through the contest. It's his first medal of 2021 and Italy's second gold medal already. A huge congratulation with the gold medal. Well-deserved! In second and securing the silver medal is @Federer91. Him and Gianlu33 was in a fierce battle for the gold medal with switching between which of the two who was on top. In the end it was just not enough for our Bulgarian predictor to be the victor in this battle. Still a very good contest overall with solid predictions and a well-earned silver medal. First of the season for him and Bulgaria. Congrats with the silver medal. Last spot on the podium goes to @Speedy. After a successful Alpine Skiing prediction contest which ended with a gold medal, he can now proudly receive yet another medal as the first predictor to do so in 2021. It was a close race for the last spot on the podium between many predictors before the final day. With scoring four points and having two perfect predictions and most gold medals amongst all in the contest, it was Speedy who secured the bronze medal by beating @ady48 in a tie-break. Congratulation with the bronze medal. Honourable mentions will this time go to these three predictors, @ady48, @Henry_Leon and @IoNuTzZ. With five points on the final day, it was almost enough to grab a medal for ady48. But as mentioned above he just missed it due to tie-break rules. However, a very contest for the established Totallympics predictor. In 5th place comes @Henry_Leon. Another very solid contest for the Italian and a very good start to the 2021-season. Might be one of the names to look for in top of the Individual General Standing. The last honourable mention goes to another Romanian predictor, @IoNuTzZ. Despite being one of the few in the top 10 without a single perfect predictions, he scored enough points throughout the contest to get a 6th-place and end in the top of the contest overall. Lastly, thank you to all who participated in this prediction contest. The prediction contests will take a break for the next couple of weeks, but we will be back with the Figure Skating World Championships prediction contest in the end of March. While on the subject, I would like to ask you, the Totalympians, for some help with making the entry lists for this contest. It would be around 12-14 favourites for each event and I would highly appreciate if someone here on the forum would be willing to give some of their time to helping me. You can send me a PM if you are interested to help. Any help I can get would be eminently appreciated. Last thing from me is that the General Standing and Medal Tables will be updated either tomorrow or on Wednesday. There have also been a slight change in the calendar as the Women's Ice Hockey World Championship has been moved to the beginning of May instead of April. That's all from me, your prediction contest manager, Wumo.

I'm confused, they have nothing to do with gender equality. Get your analogies straight...

My new top

I just read the rumour that Silesia want co-host those Games with Kraków and other cities in Małopolskie voivodeship making possible to have at these Games full athletics program.

Back then both athletics and swimming essentially gave free quotas. Very few countries don't compete in at least one of them and the sports always encouraged nations to send both men and women.

The issue is with IAAF's new rule of only allowing one universality quota there will likely be more nations with either no male or no female athletes. We could see 10-15 all male/female nations. This stems from the IOC forcing sports to shrink how many athletes it can have at the Olympics.

Here’s a list of countries who failed to achieve one man/one woman representation in 2016: failed to send a male athlete, sent two women failed to send a female athlete, sent 23 male athletes failed to send a female athlete, sent 3 male athletes failed to send a female athlete, sent 2 male athletes failed to send a female athlete, sent only one male athlete failed to send a female athlete, sent 4 male athletes Only 6 NOCs failed to send at least one athlete in each gender in 2016. That number most likely becomes larger the further you go back, but that just shows that there’s already been a trend towards having an athlete in both genders.

Again, they recreated rules for Saudia Arabia and North Korea just to stay timely with the current headlines and paint an image. They did nothing for Bhutan or Tuvalu. Also, if IOC is not doing this only for themselves, then why on earth did they ever ratify a qualification system which went against the gender equality?

Will they both be holding the flag? Will it be a relay? Will there be a clock to count, if they are holding it equally? Who is going to hold it at the top and who at the bottom? Will they have to cross hands? Has Covid ended and we can hug each other again? Are the IOC the highest paid morons in the World? Well scratch the last one, that is not really a question.

Happy International womens day to all our ladies in the forum

Some stats/news from today’s IOC Press Release (not quite enough for me to write an article about): This is probably the main one to note: “All 206 NOCs and the IOC Refugee Olympic Team will be encouraged to have their flag carried by one female and one male athlete at the Opening Ceremony.” Also, 49% of athletes should be female, and the IOC expects all NOCs to field at least 1 man and 1 woman for Tokyo 2020.

If skin colour was really an issue they wouldn't have allowed Harry to marry her to begin with Besides Meghan had no objections to Harry parading in Nazi uniforms before so what's the big deal anyway?

You might be right, I guess we'll have to wait to see what World Rowing says

I feel like this is the type of thing that happens to Canadian athletes often....

Excellent mass start race. Too bad Klaebo pulled a Bolshunov on Bolshunov and both ended up being the losing side

Just caught up on the replays of the Dutch medals and interviews. Great final day! Femke Bol is definitely the big thing in Dutch athletics right now. Though when it comes to the Dafne Schippers comparison, I think the 100m/200m definitely has more status globally than the 400m hurdles. CCB rightly said that there was also a couple disappointments for the Dutch athletes, but all in all it feels like a succesful weekend. In addition to the medals I was happy to see 19 yo Zoë Sedney reaching the 60m hurdles final and to see Rik Taam close to the medals and scoring multiple PB's in the heptathlon. I've said it before, but I'm really enjoying the current crop of Dutch athletics talent, even if it is mostly a 400m project I guess. And it's always such a joy following these athletics tournaments! Following all of you here in the thread also puts various results by other nations into perspective. Thanks guys!

I just hope this whole Eurovision thing will kickstart my career. On Tuesday we start pushing my next song, it's going to be entertaining, yet stressful

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.

It's getting a little insane how much things are getting completely out of hand in Brazil... I don't think right now there is any more worrying country than that. Brazil's current situation is about to become like Lombardy a year ago.
