So the IOC argument is that because there are no UN sanctions against Russia or Belarus, they should be free to compete but conveniently ignores the fact that the only reason there are no UN sanctions in place is because Russia is blocking them. Putting out rubbish like this really just undermines their credibility.

is in as well, so you guys are safe.

Apparently tickets will go on sale in March. https://www.radiokrakow.pl/aktualnosci/krakow/w-marcu-pierwsze-bilety-na-igrzyska-europejskie

I made a joke about the IOC putting out a statement a day on political issues, but it would seem that was more a prediction now

If you put this in a film, it would be a racist stereotype & you’d be arrested by the Woke Inquisition, but this is real life. A convicted Italian mafia killer on the run since 2006 has been caught in France, having hidden in plain sight as a pizza chef for at least three years https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-64495564

are you joking???? :O !! All his eurovision songs are amazing!!!!

Chile has entered the chat! I will start looking for songs right now!

It's been a while since I updated my judo qualification matrix, partly because I thought the IJF had got their act together and were updating their website but they are still awarding Grand Prix points to the Perth Oceania Open which is throwing their numbers out (in my opinion). From a perspective, the women are continuing to lead the way for the squad and are in strong positions - ranked within the top 6 - in 3 of the 5 weight divisions (52Kg, 63Kg & 78Kg classes). For the other 2, their position is a little more precarious and they could fall out of qualifying spot over the next month or so. On the men's side, only Lachlan Moorhead is currently holding a qualifying spot. Despite a decent performance in Portugal, Jemal Petgrave dropped out of the qualifying positions and is now about 30 points adrift of the final automatic qualifying position. In terms of the team event, since I last ran the simulation in November, would drop out of the team event as would and . would qualify a berth in the team event.

Final rosters will be finalized on February 7th and MLB Network will have a roster reveal show on February 9th at 7:00 pm (19:00) EST

Sofia Goggia had (another) training crash yesterday. apparently, she didn't get injured, but she left the training camp 1 day earlier than scheduled.

Lucas Braathen has apparently been operated for acute appendicitis. He will miss most of the world championship. Might be back for the slalom! https://www.tv2.no/sport/vintersport/vm-i-fare-for-braathen-etter-operasjon/15476149/

is in and I already made the choice. I will post it these two days.

I would like to be in!!!

is in despite the jury not knowing any new local songs in 2022 lol

I'm in

Btw for those who don’t know, this is from a really nice (to me at least haha) Spanish song from los del rio, the macarena guys

“Sevilla tiene un color especial!” por supuesto Portugal is in 🇵🇹 Spain is probably the nation I’ve visited the most during my life (have family there and spent all my summers there during my childhood and teenage years) so I can’t wait to “visit” it yet another time as for the contest it’s always a bit difficult for me the anual edition (due to not be living in Portugal for 6 years now) but I’ll find something out I’m sure

is in!

will be there.

I’ll take that challenge for that spot, as Mexican music is becoming crappier each year. will be present in Sevilla.

Apparently Meta Hrovat crashed with her head onto a larger rock while skiing with a group near her hometown. She was airlifted to the hospital and is badly injured but her life is not in danger. https://www.rtvslo.si/sport/zimski-sporti/med-turno-smuko-naj-bi-se-v-nedeljo-huje-poskodovala-meta-hrovat/656383

Team Slovakia Mens Matej Kazár Tomáš Sklenárik Michal Šima Womens Paulína Bátovská-Fialková Ivona Fialková Júlia Machyniaková Mária Remeňová Team for the WCh announced, Júlia Machyniaková beat Zuzana Remeňová and Henrieta Horvátová for the last 4th spot in the internal qualifiers. Already retired Matej Kazár will compete at the WCh to help the country starting in both Mixed relays He will start also in the Sprint/Purusit as well, the Individual will be reconsidered according his result(s) in the sprint

Olympic Champions Uguev and Sidakov won the gold. G. Rashidov lost the final to Mammedov. A. Magomedov also lost to someone called "Mekhtikhanov" and settled for bronze. ---------------- in another news, Brackets are out for the freestyle competition of Zagreb Open. not as good as the original entry list. some big names like G. Petriashvili, Ravi Kumar and J. Cox didn't travel to Croatia after all. we have a very big team in Greco, I will get to that later but in freestyle Iran sent a small team of 6 wrestlers but they are all our #1 or #2. I think 2 or 3 of them should win the gold easily. but there are two matches I'm mostly interested to see. Emami vs Salkazanov (which will happen in the 2nd round) and a possible Azarpira/Snyder final at 97kg. UWW is awarding some prize money for the first time but that's almost nothing, I think you can earn 10 times more by just one match in Russia PWL league.

France have already selected their female Starters for the Races, if nobody gets sick. Chevalier, Chevalier-Bouchet, Jeanmonnot and Simon will start in the Sprint and the Individual. So no Start for Chauveau and Colombo at the championships.

as of Today, February 1st 2023 in Milan... the most credited Italian Wintersports journalists/commentator, Massimiliano "Max" Ambesi, took a tour of the 2 sites in the city of Milan where the 2 Hockey arenas should be built. here is what he found out and wrote about that. the photos are only about the place where the "small" Hockey arena should be in place in less than 3 years (it's an abandoned area where previously a basketball/volleyball/concerts center then a circus used to be), there are no pictures of the area where the main hall should be built. this is a quick translation (made with google translate...you know, I'm lazy and I didn't want to wast too much time ) of Ambesi's post. "(Earlier) this morning, I went to Lampugnano, a "charming"* Milanese district where one of the ice arenas to host the hockey matches of the upcoming 2026 Olympic Games should be built. The cross-section I came across turned out to be bleak. Rodents and dirt aside, not only has the old structure not yet been demolished, but there is not even the slightest shadow of a construction site. Furthermore, there is no indication on site relating to the Olympic destination of the area, but, from what has been learned, thanks to some shortcomings with respect to the legitimate requests of the IOC, a definitive project has not yet been approved. The only positive note is represented by the proximity to the subway stop and a busy terminus of interregional bus lines. Rather perplexed by what I observed, I set off in the direction of Milan Santa Giulia, hoping that works on the new Palazzo dello Sport with almost twenty thousand seats had already begun. Thanks to lucky coincidences with the various subway lines, the transfer took less than 50 minutes, all in all a positive fact. In this case, despite the fact that the long pedestrian area between the Rogoredo station and the Sports Arena area has been completed for some time now, the foundation stone of the facility is far from being laid yet and, with the exception of the fence of the vast area, the works still appear to be at a standstill. Considering that in 2025, both structures will have to be put to the test with the ritual test competitions, in jargon "test event", time runs the risk of running out, it being understood that, as far as Lampugnano is concerned, ideas appear rather confused. In light of the situation, those in charge will have to be ready as well as educated because, sooner or later, the generalist press will begin to ask a long series of questions and it will be necessary to provide all the necessary explanations. All that remains is to cross your fingers and hope for a happy ending. In the meantime, Turin remains at the window… The invitation is to share the post so that the situation can become public knowledge. Massimiliano Ambesi" *"charming" applied to that district must be intended as pure sarcasm...that area is everything but "charming".
