The General election in Denmark was held yesterday. The results from the Danish general election: Party Votes in % Seats Change from last general election (2015) Social Democrats (A) 25.9 % 48 +1 LIberal Party (V) 23.4 % 43 +9 Danish People's Party (O) 8.7 % 16 -21 Social-Liberal Party (B) 8.6 % 16 +8 Socialist People's Party (F) 7.7 % 14 +7 Red-Green Alliance (Ø) 6.9 % 13 -1 Conservative People's Party (C) 6.6 % 12 +6 The Alternative (Å) 3.0 % 5 -4 The New Right (D) 2.4 % 4 +4 (New) Liberal Alliance (I) 2.3 % 4 -9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- National Threshold 2.0% Hard Line (P) 1.8 % 0 0 (New) Christian Democrats (K) 1.7 % 0 0 Klaus Riskær Pedersen (E) 0.8 % 0 0 (New) Turnout: 84.5 % 179 seats, 175 Denmark, 2 Greenland and 2 Faroe Island. 90 seats are needed for a majority. We will have a new goverment. It will very likely be a one party minority government with the Social Democrats with support from the Social-Liberal Party, Socialist People's Party and Red-Green Alliance. (89 seats from Denmark, 1 from Greenland and 1 from Faroe Islands = 91 seats) Some other scenarios could be a Social Democrats/Socialist People's Party, Social Democrats/Social-Liberal Party or a Social Democrats/Liberal Party government, All of these scenarios are very unlikely. https://www.politico.eu/article/denmarks-social-democrats-on-course-to-win-election/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Danish_general_election I guess @Agger can elaborate more about the election.

Nope, the world ranking will only be used to fill out the quotas in every discipline if not enough athletes qualify by achieving the entry standard. You can see the quotas here: https://www.atleticalive.it/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Olympic-Games-Tokyo-2020-qualification-system.pdf

Nope... Sorry, I forgot! Thanks for the reminder.

Tissanna Hickling from has secured the first quota in Women's Long Jump, which also means at least one athlete has qualified by achieving the entry standard in every discipline and distance.

Nations I always support are: Iceland (Always loved their handball team and it started my support for other Icelandic athletes.) Ireland (Sonia O'Sullivan started my support for Ireland. Maybe one more thing, but nothing related to sports. My parents obsession with Johnny Logan have maybe subconsciously made me support Ireland when I began watching sport.) Slovenia (Started with ski jumping, Primosz Peterka. I have since supported them in Winter Sports.) Slovakia (Actually this didn't start because of a victory, but a loss. It was back in 2005 where Slovakia lost in the Davis cup Final to Croatia and I felt so sad for them that I started to follow Slovakia in many sports. This match also started my hate relationship towards Croatia in sports. Sorry @dcro ) Zimbabwe (The Black Brothers in tennis and Kirsty Coventry in swimming.) Uruguay (From football. I began to research about them and found out they won the first World Cup, which my 9-year-old self at that time thought was amazing for such a small country.)

can be removed from the list. Have qualified in Men's 100m (Athletics) https://d3nn5ytc2ejir.cloudfront.net/content/uploads/resultlist-30861.pdf

Mol and Sorum won their 3rd 4* tournament in a row. They have now won 18 matches in a row!

In these minutes, cycling history is being written. Richard Carapaz becomes the first Grand Tour winner. becomes the 19th nation to have a Grand Tour winner. Great Giro from Carapaz and Movistar.

The proposals from the Alpine Skiing Commitee: (Source: fis-ski.com) Start Field Reduction To keep building on the start field reduction process that was initiated last year for the Men’s Alpine World Cup events, stricter criteria have been set for athletes to be able to be in the start field. It will not be sufficient anymore to have a maximum of 80 FIS points. Each National Ski Association will be able to enter one competitor for FIS World Cup races as long as he is ranked within the first 150 athletes of the valid FIS point list of the event concerned or within the first 30 of the World Cup Starting List (WCSL). To be able to start in the parallel events, athletes will need to have no more than 140 FIS points in one of the five alpine events (SL, GS, SG, DH, AC). These changes, if approved, will result in an average reduction of 10 athletes per race. These changes will only be applied to the men’s competitions. Parallel Format The new Parallel (PAR)- formerly known as City Event or Team Event- has been revised in an effort to produce a format that is fair for athletes and interesting for fans at the same time. The format will feature a single qualification run for the best 30 competitors according to the actual Parallel World Seeding List (PWSL). The first 16 ranked athletes from the qualification run will qualify to the round of sixteen. All heats will have a “run and re-run” format to ensure fairness and integrity. Calendars Additionally, the calendars for the 2019/20 season – featuring three Alpine Combined for the men’s tour and four for the ladies – were presented, as well as the drafts for the next three seasons. They will be confirmed on Sunday by the Council and will be made available afterwards. The Alpine Combined has been considered once again and the goal is making it more attractive in term of structure of the program itself. This implementation contributed on the enlargement of the calendar with 43 races on the ladies’ side and 46 for the men for the 2019/2020 season. Few dates and venues are still in open discussions: Oslo (SWE) declined the intention of hosting the city event January 1st and Davos (SUI) candidate itself. The final decision will be made July 10th. Yuzawa Naeba (JPN) will agree or disagree to host two Giant Slalom instead of one Giant Slalom and one Slalom. The final decision will be made June 10th.

Yes! According to VG.no, the 50km and 30km in Oslo will go back to a intervalstart in classic technique from 2021. This idea was proposed by the Russian delegation and approved by most nations on the FIS Cross-Country commitee meeting in Dubrovnik. It only needs to be approved by the FIS Council on Sunday (tomorrow). Last time there was a 50km and 30km intervalstart in Oslo was back in 2009.

I feel like I should have watched Game of Thrones to understand this? But I do agree with you, I think.
