It's the first time I'm following a city council meeting live. This journalist from Calgary is updating from the meeting. https://twitter.com/CTVJKanygin

This is from FloGymnastics. "But the FIG breaks ties by dropping the gymnast's lowest event score and taking the execution scores of the remaining five events. Whoever has the highest execution total wins the tie". According to FloGymnastics rule number 1 does not exist because they take rule number 2 in account?... This is how I understand it. There are 6 apparatus in the final. If two gynmnasts are tied. This happens: Add the 5 highest scores the gymnast has scored in the final. (Dalaloyan and Ruoteng, delete their worst score) Add the 5 other scores. Dalaloyan final score, with worst score deleted: 74,198 points Ruoteng final score, with worst score deleted: 73,465 points I.e Dalaloyan wins gold.

Nope. It's the sum of the 5 highest scores. Not confusing at all.

Great results for Artur Davtyan 9th and Marios Georgiou 10th.

No, Dalaloyan wins gold.

It's a tie! But Dalaloyan wins with the highest sum of the final apparatus scores. ( add the total of the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 of the highest final apparatus)

City Council meeting starts at 16:30 (CET)

It's a real picture.

I'm a bit sad Brazil missed the chance of winning their first team medal at a World Championships.

Lima is selected to host 2021 World Weightlifting Championships. https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1071668/lima-selected-to-host-2021-world-weightlifting-championships-as-iwf-executive-board-meeting-concludes Lima hosted the World Weightlifting Championships 40 years ago (1971), which also was the last and only time a country in South America has hosted a World Weightlifting Championships.

It's Qatar. You are not allowed to watch women/girls without too much clothes on.

Random fact in the AIBA saga: Apparently Konakbayev starred in a feature film "Secrets of Madame Wong".

A new twist in the evergoing AIBA saga.

Japan This is a beautiful song by jazz pianist, Ryo Fukui. He lived in Sapporo where he regularly played at the "Slowboat" jazz club, which he and his wife, Yasuko, were the owners. This song is from his first album "Scenery" (1976). Enjoy! Ryo Fukui - Scenery

3 team quotas. A team quota place (4 athletes). USA hasn't qualified yet. Japan has a host quota, but they can still qualifiy (secure quota) through the normal qualification process like every other nation.

What an exciting final! China wins the Men's Team final with a small margin of 0.049 points to Russia. Japan takes the bronze medal. All three nations secure their nation a team quota in the Men's Team competition at the 2020 Olympics. Men's Team Gold - China 256.634 points Silver - Russia 256.585 points Bronze - Japan 253.744 points Men's Team - Tokyo 2020 Olympics Quotas China Russia Japan

Australia has officially launched a bid for 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.

The idea is that a man and a woman from each country would sail in separate one-person boats, before having their scores added together at the end to determine a winner. The idea sounds totally ridiculous. Not even IOC could come up with such an idea for a mixed event.

The Board of World Sailing has proposed to introduce a two-person keelboat class to replace the idea of a mixed one person dinghy event for 2024 Olympics. https://www.sail-world.com/news/211621/2024-Olympics-World-Sailing-Board-makes-late-bid Could some of you here on the forum, who follow sailing more closely than me, explain why the Board wants to create and introduce so many new classes? Are they worried to lose their status as an olympic sport?

India and Pakistan are joint winners of Asian Hockey Champions Trophy after the final was called off due to heavy rain in Muscat. After a coin toss, India won the right to take home the trophy for a year, with Pakistan receiving it the year after. Gold medals were then given to the Pakistani players, with the Indian participants promised that theirs would be sent to them soon.

After today's 1-5 loss in El Clasico, Real Madrid's coach, Lopetegui, is rumored to be fired tomorrow, and replaced with Antonio Conte. https://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2018/10/28/5bd60904e2704e30648b4600.html

True, but in the end, no one could match young Verstappen today.
