Anyway, let's just hope that The Weeknd won't attack the poor cameraman again.

CANADA The Weeknd - Blinding Lights

Can not find anyhing precise exactly about the Engadin stage, but according to FIS rules, every athlete who finished the previous race is allowed to enter the next pursuit race, with in order to prevent too large start time dfferences, the Jury can decide upon the use of the "wave start".

2021 ILCA Vilamoura International Championship from 17 to 24 April for Laser and Laser Radial

I found this weightlifting Q standings, I wonder if they are accurate - still no more than 4+4 weightlifters from one NOC and some deductions in NOC quota due to doping violations https://www.weightliftinghouse.com/2020/03/10/tokyo-2020-weightlifting-qualification-standings/

I wouldn't mind at all if the WCH short track results were copy pasted into Beijing 2022 after that display by Schulting

Thank you! I found that too, but was still wondering what was that about the limit of FIS points that someone told me. Anyhow, if there is anything, we will get to know latest on Saturday ??‍♀️?

Women’s slalom: Gold: Mathiou (Italy) Silver: Bostroem Mussener (Sweden) Bronze: A. J. Hurt (USA) Mathiou (2002) and Bostroem Mussener (2001) are young enough to come back next year. Very close race, the top 8 were within 0.68 seconds. Not sure if any of the girls can become world class, no one looked like a superior talent. Sadly another 4th (and 5th) place for Germany. This was the last competition (no downhill/combined/team this year), so here is the final standing of the Marc Hodler Trophy: 1) Austria 61 points 2) Italy 43 points 3) Sweden 40 points 4) Switzerland 36 points 5) Norway 35 points 6) Germany/USA 29 points 8) Slovenia 20 points Separated by gender: Men: 1) Austria 42 points 2) Switzerland 30 points 3) Norway 22 points 4) Italy 19 points 5) USA 16 points 6) Germany 10 points 7) France 8 points 8) Sweden/Slovenia 4 points Women: 1) Sweden 36 points 2) Italy 24 points 3) Austria/Germany 19 points 5) Slovenia 16 points 6) Norway/USA 13 points 8) Switzerland 6 points Biggest surprises for me: - Sweden has a lot of very good talents on the women’s side, they could become strong again at senior level in a couple of years. - The US has some nice talents again (Hurt and Ritchie). - France did very poorly for their standard, only 9 points overall (1 point better than Finland) and their best results were a 5th place in men’s Super G, a 9th place in men’s giant slalom and a 10th place in women’s slalom. - Germany and the US were surprisingly close to Norway and Switzerland in the Marc Hodler Trophy.

To complete, the world cup event became a test event only. As a precaution the event will take place with only japanese gyms to test the venue. Without the qualification to obtain there is no need for athletes all around the globes to travel to Japan by this trouble time.

I think there should be 11 races plus the medal race only with the highest ranking boats

FRANCE KENDJI GIRAC - HABIBI -

The rowing regatta is confirmed, and my guess is so will be the events in diving and artistic swimming, since these will all be direct qualification events and athletes will be given exeptions to enter Japan. As I understand, the gymnastics World Cup was cancelled because it wasn't a qualification event anymore so there is no need to host it

United States of America The time has come once again for the American jury to reveal it’s entry for the Totallympics Annual Song Contest. This year’s selection was a fierce battle, with 8 songs making it to the final round. So...without further ado...I’m pleased to announce that Ashe and FINNEAS will represent the United States of American with their song titled “Till Forever Falls Apart.” Till Forever Falls Apart - Ashe & FINNEAS Lyrics

IRELAND After much deliberation, the Irish National Selection Committee is delighted to announce Dublin-born singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy as this year's TISC Annual 2021 representative for Ireland. Having been considered for previous TISC Annuals, Dermot finally gets his chance this year to compete at TISC with his single entitled "Giants". Commenting on his single, Dermot had the following words to say: "Change hurts and growing hurts. "Giants" is a song about just that, steeped in bittersweet nostalgia. It's about acknowledging our loss of youth and how time inevitably changes things. Yet in the same breath the song is an encouragement to be brave – individually, and collectively. Walking into an unknown future together can be beautiful just as much as it is scary. I want people to listen to this song and hold on to that thought. Let go of the past and grab the change that is in front of us, and make it for the better. Even if it hurts" I hope you enjoy Dermot Kennedy - Giants Lyrics: We used to be giants When did we stop? Just say the word, and I'll be yours You know I never forgot The hope and the hurt Has lived inside of me But there's gold in the dirt I never took the time to see But I knew of it's worth When you walked beside of me And my hand fit in yours Like a bird would find the breeze We used to be giants When did we stop? Say the word, and I'll be yours You know I never forgot We were the song in the silence But time catches up Just say the word, and I'll be yours You know I never forgot I knew from the start You'd be the one to set me free That day in the park When the hurt would hide from me Those eyes used to know me, it's been way too long You are the moon and the stars, and all they gaze upon Time won't ever move slowly, what you waitin' on? Yeah, what you waitin' on? We used to be giants When did we stop? Say the word, and I'll be yours You know I never forgot We were the song in the silence But time catches up Just say the word, and I'll be yours You know I never forgot Darlin', just say you will Will you remember those times? That I have held until tonight If you say you will, I'll leave it all behind Don't you remember those times? We used to be giants So when did we stop? Just say the word, and I'll be yours You know I never forgot We were the song in the silence But time catches up Just say the word, and I'll be yours You know I never forgot We used to be giants Giants Oh, I still love you though I still love you though

“Freestyle Skiing” is really three different disciplines that are kept under the same umbrella purely for political and logistics reason. Same as snowboarding, really.
