Just sent my candidature for volunteering! Now waiting till autumn ...

as an old proverb here says: more people can fit in an East German Trabant than we have in the stadium today

first ever medal for in the Pairs competition. Conti & Macii just stormed into our team and quickly climbed the rankings up to this unexpected, wonderful result (also in terms of scoring, they are always improving big time, adding more and more diffcult elements to their program and skating every time better than ever). I hope they keep improving day after day, until they finally get the Olympic medal at home in 3 years time.

don't worry, there's always some hockey these days on tv/internet... no need to make yourself a bad liver with football...

It's honestly scary how many people don't have a strong position against Belarus and Russia entering sport competitions. If they managed to take over Ukraine, then the Baltics would've probably been swallowed too and their friends in the East would've probably started a crusade on their neighbouring country. We would be in an all-out war and sports would be the last thing on our minds Not letting them compete is the least we can do, when Ukraine is keeping the world safe.

Fencing have reinstated them, too (quali were supposed to start in April, but so far the first tournaments have been cancelled because of that possible return of Russians and Belarussians). World Athletics instead has just confirmed earlier Today that Russians and Belarussians will be denied any international competition entry until the war goes on.

Obviusly, if IOC decides to include them, Russia and Belarus will partecipate at qualifyng tournaments. But yes, today we would have some russian qualificated: tennis, BMX freestyle, judo, boxing are sports- and rankings - with russians.

Hopefully it will remove the biggest problem, which was that there was a suspicion that certain federations were searching these individuals out as a policy.

30 game wins in a row - amazing WCH streak for Tirinzoni!

Also decent results of Slovak representatives here, completely young and still juniors team experiencing WCh debut, Ema Doboszová did not advance to the Free Skate in W Singles, but set a new PB with 53.01 resulting in 28th place Adam Hagara did even better, qualifying to the Free Skate from last 24th place with 70.29 points

It’s actually “Parada”, a last name that is the source for double entendres in Spanish

whatever it takes! (cit.)

Oh I feel sorry for you buddy, Literally the worst and most boring period of all 2 last games with complete anti-hockey our blue line bus parking tactic

I saw the final period of yesterday's game... good job by the guys from Kosice

Wsl has confirmed that Defay needs to compete in one WCT event to be eligible. Two more stages till the cut of mid-season.

I like reading through some of the old multi-sports games/Olympics threads every once and a while, and I came across a real gem from the 2016 road cycling thread today. Do you know what became of that guy @hckošice? I haven’t heard much lately. He’s probably just happy to have finished in the top 10 at the Olympics

Ah yes, then there is a loser bracket iirc from previous years to determine the last few spots. Of Note +80 and +67 have only 10 quotas each.

should get 4 quotas (2 per gender) in ski jumping.

A fun little video announcing the volunteer program. The marketing for this edition has been right on the mark so far (in my opinion).

World championship specialists Team Tirinzoni has 28 straight match wins in world championships. In the WCH 2021, 2022 and 2023, they have so far lost one game (against Hasselborg) out of 35 in this sport of small margins.

Stage 14 in Tallinn (EST) Men´s Sprint Freestyle: 1. Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo 2. Lucas Chanavat 3. Even Northug Full Final Result HERE

Stage 14 in Tallinn (EST) Women´s Sprint Freestyle: 1. Kristine Stavaas Skistad 2. Jonna Sundling 3. Nadine Faehndrich Full Final Result HERE

Could be one of the worst ends Anna Hasselborg has ever played (at least from what I've seen). Germany take FIVE stones and win 9-3 with one end scratched. Polish commentator said the Jentzsch rink lost 11 straight matches vs Hasselborg before?

You really are one of us! getting ready for the reign of the anti-committee

Hey hey! Top 5! Thanks to all that voted for and congrats to , well deserved. Here is a look at my Top 12 and reserves. Mexico was my favorite, of course. I thought Sweden and Malta were really nice songs. Spain and Italy had great entries and tied for fourth on my list (my decision to give Spain the 9 points resulted in the "Spain 12" meme). Then the English-language songs took over. Bulgaria was so different from the others I ended up liking it. New Zealandʻs entry was more my type of music. A mix of country and western with blues. The Indonesian yetis (??) got me and Great Britain sneaked in the top 12 over . Stats wise, I only voted for 2 songs that made the Top 10, but voted for 5 that finished bottom 10. Sad I missed all of the fun. @Cobi tremendous hosting and Iʻll see you in Italy!

What a surprise this victory!!! Congratulations for the podium at and Incredible show, very good job @Cobi Thanks all juries did has voted our song: @heywoodu @Cinnamon Bun @Werloc @Wumo & @Agger @Dnl @kungshamra71 @Federer91 @Finnator123 @amen09 @justony @konig @dezbee2008 @owenp_23 @Olympian1010 @mrv86 @Glen @rybak @hckošice @Ionoutz24 @IoNuTzZ @Illya @ManuCHIL @Cobi @Wanderer

Steal of 6 for SWE vs NZL

new Pond Hockey world champions well, in fact the Bratislava Frosty Shots won the World Cup 2023 in Canada. The tournament was finally played after 2 years break and 80 teams participated. In the Final Frosty Shots beat Captain Namest 6:5 and won the "wooden" Stanley Cup. Congrats
