My 2018 was a pretty bad training year for me. My plan was to begin at athletics again after a 2 years break, but my studies took too much of my time. In November 2018, I decided to begin powerlifting in my local gym. I have followed my protocol strickly, and in the end of April, I'm going to attempt new PRs in Squat, Deadlift and Bench Press. I hope I will make them. The plan for the Summer is to finally begin at athletics again in the local club. I will see if I can improve my former PRs in High Jump, Long Jump and Triple Jump. Other than powerlifting, I just do some few kilometres on the treadmill. I hate running, so it is a nightmare. In the winter, I hope to play a team sport again. I have played floorball and volleyball for many years, so it will likely be one of those. Basketball has also lurk my interest, so that could also be an option. At least 2019 has started much better training wise than 2018 and it will hopefully continue like that. Training goals for 2019: - Improve my PRs in powerlifting - Begin to athletics - Play a team sport

I always read it as Hentai, instead of Hantei. The internet doesn't always have the best effect on one's thinking.

Yay bronze medal for Kathrine Pedersen.

Hiromasa Fujimori, who placed fourth in the men's 200-meter individual medley at the Rio Olympics, has been tested positive. https://swimswam.com/world-cships-bronze-medalist-hiromasa-fujimori-fails-doping-test/

Well it's a bit old... But we can't forget Lithuania. Danas Rapsys has achieved an OQT in Men's 200 m Freestyle in Swimming. http://ltuswimming.com/images/stories/Varzybos/2019/LPf/LZP/ResultList_19F.pdf

Does any of you know if achieved OQT and OST at any National Championship and Trials count? I'm asking because FINA's Qualification Events Calender doesn't count the current Hungarian Nationals as a qualification event. https://www.fina.org/content/swimming-qual-events-olympic-games-xxxii-tokyo-jpn-2020 In the official qualification document from FINA: "Please note that competitions taking place after 1st March 2019 and which have been previously approved as qualifying meets for the FINA World Championships Gwangju 2019 will be automatically considered for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. There is no need to re-apply". https://www.fina.org/sites/default/files/general/tokyo_2020_-_og_qual_events_v_1.pdf

Yeah. Women's football actually takes it seriously, though they still only have 12 teams compared to the men's 16 team.

I have a solution that will release many athletes/quotas. Get rid of football! That are 504 athlete quotas. Olympics should be a stage where we see the best athletes in every sport. Do any expect to see Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe, etc.. at the Olympics in Tokyo? If football doesn't begin to take it's role as an olympic sport seriously, I would mean that many other sports deserve a chance at the Olympics instead of football. p.s I'm a massive football fan. The sport I watch the most is, with no doubt, football. Both club and international matches. I love the sport and I find it to be a disgrace to watch Olympic football compared to the World Cup, especially for the best teams. The Olympics should at least have the same level or status as the World Cup.

Agree. This quiz is more fixed than jury members in a boxing match organised by AIBA are.

We can almost start a 4-man bob, @Olympian1010 and @hckosice.

Burundi has achieved 1 quota in Athletics in Men's Marathon. https://www.iaaf.org/athletes/burundi/olivier-irabaruta-246219

Update: Men's Marathon (1 athlete) https://www.iaaf.org/athletes/burundi/olivier-irabaruta-246219

I can see that IAAF have just updated their list, so I can see the times there.

@Function CR Lee Do you have the result list from yesterday's Beverly Wuxi Marathon?

FvD's rise is probably just another example that many Dutch voters are tired of the current political establisment in the Netherlands and want something new. Just like many other European countries.

@heywoodu I just look at the results for the provincial elections in Netherlands and saw this new party FvD, Forum for Democracy, became the biggest party overall. Is this Forum for Democracy the new PVV? Another question, why are they so big in Noord-and Zuid-Hollland? I can also see that FvD is the biggest party in an opinion poll from yesterday. https://www.noties.nl/v/get.php?a=peil.nl&s=weekpoll&f=2019-03-24.pdf

After have listen to all the songs about 20-25 times, I have a solid top 4. I have a clear number 1, but the rest in top 4 can still switch places. There are about 14 songs in contention for the rest 8 spots in my top 12. It will be difficult to choose only 8.
