In a interview with Tennis World USA, tennis player, Venus Williams, says she plans to compete in Bobsleigh at the 2022 Olympics. When asked if that meant she would be competing at the Tokyo Olympics, Williams promptly responded with a Yes, "Yes. And 2024. And 2022 (Winter Olympics). I'm going to be on the bobsleigh team".

Some really important news! "According to Kyodo News, Seven-Eleven Japan and Lawson will stop stocking pornographic magazines by the end of August. This is with the view of improving their brand image and making it easier for women and children to go into their outlets". Because women have never seen porn before?

Miki with the song, "La Venda", will represent Spain

Tsitsipas is through to the semifinal after a 3-1 win against Bautista. Maybe if Zverev let his hair grow a bit longer he will reach a Grand Slam semifinal.

There must be something wrong with the shooting graphic? Eckhoff with a perfect 5/5 standing shooting. That can't be real?

I'm just just glad to see a nation with half the population size of my country can start a relay team in the WC. Oh well, maybe one day we will see a Danish relay team in the WC. (First we have to convince a bunch of Norwegians and Swedes to switch nationality. Then we might have a chance.)

Well, all went as expected, Norway won, Germany came second and France third. Not a surprising podium. And of course, Lithuania was the last nation to cross the finish line, as usual. At least they were not lapped this time. It was a bit of a suprise to see how bad Dombrovski's shooting was yesterday.

It's great to see heywoodu is not the only Dutch person who follows biathlon passionately. Do you know this guy, @heywoodu? https://twitter.com/vincetaskin_

The President of the Russian Biathlon Association Vladimir Drachev will address what he perceives as harassment of Alexander Loginov to the IBU. The Russians are annoyed that there are constantly derogatory comments about Alexander Loginov who returned last season - We will talk about the harassment of Loginov with IBU, says Drachev to Russian Sport-Express. Not even Team Sky is such a big cry baby.

Nordic combined skier, Magnus Hovdal Moan, has announced he will retire after this season.

I wouldn't trust an Italian guy to do the waxing of my girlfriend's...

Are we about to start a new viral "what colour is this"-discussion, like "the dress"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress

What piece of music is playing?

Rikke Moller Pedersen has decided to end her career. Rikke Moller Pedersen has had a great career, where she has won 25 medals at the European Championships and World Championships, as well as a bronze at the 2016 Olympic Games with the Danish team. Her biggest achievement, however, is the world record she set at the Barcelona World Cup in 2013 in the time of 2.19.11 on 200 m breaststroke. A world record that Rikke Moller still owns. - It has been in the back of mind and filled the last couple of years. I will face a lot of challenges during this year, and I really thought I would be ready to take on these, as I usually do, but now I have come to the decision that I have no more to give to my own swimming, says Rikke Moller Pedersen. What the future will bring, Rikke Moller Pedersen has still not decided, but she will not let go of the swimming yet. - I put my own swimming on the shelf, but I have a lot of experiences and experiences I would like to pass on to young people who want to swim. I do also have a lot of other projects I want to realise.

IHF has decided who will receive a wildcard for the World Championships in 2025 and 2027 - and at the same time decided on new guidelines for the distribution of wildcards. In the future, it will be the country that will host the next Olympic Games, which will receive a wildcard for the World Championships three and one year before the Olympics. This means USA receives a wildcard for the WCH in 2025 and 2027. One question which comes to mind. What happens if the Olympic host qualifies for the WCH and therefore does not need a wildcard? In 2024, it is Paris that hosts the Olympics, but since France is defending world champions in both men's and women's handball, France hardly needs a wildcard for the World Championships in 2021 and 2023. The IHF Council has not decided on any guidelines who, in that case, will receive a wildcard. According to the minutes of the meeting in the IHF Council, the wildcard for USA in 2025 and 2027 is conditional on the USA handball team having "reached a certain level". It is IHF who will decide whether USA at that time has the necessary level to be able to compete at the WCH.
