Happy ticket draw eve, everybody. I saw a good tip in the Facebook group last night- make up a list or spreadsheet of the tickets you want with the relevant information including ticket code, times and venues, so you'll be prepared if you are chosen in the draw. Here is what I drew up as an example. Again, good luck to all here! parischart.xlsx

YESSSSS JULIAAAAAA!!!!

Rastorgujevs

upset of the year !

#10 wins the pursuit so this is the highest bib to win this event in WCh history (ties Martina Glagow from 2003).

This should be gold for Marco or Matt.

And history is made as Wu Yibing saves 4 MP(!) and beats John Isner in three tie-breaks to become the first male player to win ATP title. Until this week the last time a Chinese player even made ATP semi-final was 1995

Šima incredibly slow and terrible in the shooting range, but should be fine for Top 56 today

Rastorgujevs will fight for bronze without this Watts moment

Race basically over. Our commentator just find out Jacquelin apparently DNSed

while Šima

Simon definitely deserves a world title this season.

Our first race walking qualifiers of this Olympic cycle.

Yevhen Marusiak won the Continental Cup competition in Klingenthal today, becoming - as far as I can find - the first ever Ukrainian on any significant international podium, let alone a win! https://medias1.fis-ski.com/pdf/2023/JP/3316/2023JP3316RL.pdf

Australian Open 20km Race Walking Championships February 12, 2023 Men's: Perseus Karlström ( Declan Tingay missed out by 10 seconds) Women's: Jermima Montag Antigoni Ntrismpioti

Arnekleiv is not misusing the faith so far

You're way too optimistic, we had two sunny days at the beginning of the championship, that's already two more than the yearly average of Oberhof

Great, this is now never going to leave my mind anymore

the swiss have fast skis

Oh damn, near perfection from Odermatt

Antigoni Drisbioti qualifies for Paris 2024! New NR in the women's 20km walk of 1:28:12! The previous NR of 1:28:58 was from 2004! Drisbioti's previous PB was 1:29:03 from 2022, and the Olympic standard was 1:29:20. Really incredible for her to be doing this at her age, she will be 39 next month! And she'll be 40 in Paris!

I watched his QF against one of our guys (the weakest member of our Sabre team) and when he lost , my reaction was, ah this guy was terrible, you threw your best ever chance away (for a breakthrough in his career) really surprised to see the Polish guy won the whole thing at the end he looked amateur to my untrained eyes.

Jumping Thermal CSI3* Results The following have achieved 2/3 MER result Elisa Broz (Kargenta Van't Meerhof) Gregory Wathelet (Clarity) Ali Ramsay (Bonita VH Keizershof Z) Lorcan Gallagher (Copycat) The following have achieved 1/3 MER result Gregory Wathelet (Ace of Hearts) Karrie Rufer (Mr. Europe) Sophia Soegel (A-Girl) Bretton Chad (Grandeur WP) Kyle King (Chess) Susan Artes (California Sunshine) Mark Watring (Limbossini RC)

That was a fantastic race today, best NC race for a few seasons. And back on the podium for the first time in years also.

Qualified well, for once we had somewhere luck in the groups draw While our Men will very likely not qualify anywhere before AD 2834 our Women team will play the EURO for the 13th time since the independence (Once even played at the Olympics - Sydney 2000)

After an amazing end to their campaign, winning 3 games in a row, Poland still failed to qualify @Monzanator @rafalgorka @Adriano @rybak

I voted for Great Britain for the diving because I know that China will win, as they are undoubtedly the best, but I think Great Britain should have silver.

Up to second!

yeah as a proper graduate of heywoodu school of jinxing I am proud of myself

in the meantime, in the women's team sabre we're gonna have the most unexpected gold medal match ever... Azerbajian vs Bulgaria @Federer91 if someone put a few bucks on that, he's gonna change his life soon...

Cameron Alexander with the upset medal run

I wouldn't say "amateur", but it's clear that he doesn't have the same technical skills that the top specialists. Yesterday he took advantage of home enthusiasm and a couple of home calls, but, more than anything, by a favourable draw and a lot of mental mistakes by those who faced him. Baher actually wasted a big chance (as Gallo did in the semifinal match) to turn his day from good to great.

Odermatt puts down the hammer. 1.09 ahead of Schieder Could be too much even for Kilde...

Dubai Marathon February 12, 2023 Men's: Abdisa Tola, Deresa Geleta, Haymanot Alew, Gebretsadik Abraha, Abraraw Misganaw, Kemal Husen (got in by 1 second) Women's: Dera Dida, Ruti Aga, Siranesh Yirga, Fikrte Wereta, Tigist Getnet, Meseret Tolwak, Bedatu Hirpa, Bekelech Gudeta, Amente Sorome Negash

God fucking damn it. It looks like the rumors might be true about that Western European (German?) antifascists beat up somebody in Budapest yesterday. I hope this will turn out to be a hoax, but the Hungarian police are on it and they already caught multiple foreign individuals who were part of this madness. Do these people not realize how much this hurts the reputation of the left-wing and Western Europe in Hungary? We are already getting more and more conservative and anti-West as time progresses, and shit like this will only make things worse. This is not the image you want Hungarians to see about Western liberals, even if their intention is to beat up neonazis. And even if it turns out this wasn't antifa, the fact that foreigners come into our country to pull shit like this is infuriating.

The colours are awesome and the wings looks great

If miracles exist, please let Johan Clarey do it and take one of the most epic gold medals I would have ever seen.

Athletics (1) Antigoni Drisbioti (women's 20km walk)

yeah...but at least you've been capable of taking advantage of home soil enthusiasm...not every Nation/athlete can... p.s. tbh, a couple of "home calls" have been registered in today's QTF/SF/FIN...

Mad.

Sauber Alfa Romeo has found some obscure crypto currency casino as their new main sponsor. https://www.sauber-group.com/motorsport/f1-news/record-breaking-title-partnership-sees-launch-of-alfa-romeo-f1-team-stake-for-2023-and-beyond/ That will surely not go wrong!
