Biathlon: Teja Gregorin receives two-year ban. All competitive results from 7th February 2010 to 6th February 2012 have been disqualified. http://www.biathlonworld.com/news/detail/ibu-anti-doping-hearing-panel-gregorin-found-guilty-of-anti-doping-rule-violatio (Gregorin has stopped her career.)

But he's not really a calm and collected person, according to many news stories about him. A headline, such as this; "Rory Sabbatini Takes His Rightful Place as the PGA Tour's Jerk", doesn't scream mr. nice guy https://bleacherreport.com/articles/691515-rory-sabbatini-takes-his-rightful-place-at-the-pga-tours-jerk (The whole article is personal opinions, but still, he doesn't sound like a person you want to be friends with)

Denmark has announced their flag bearer. It will be golf player, Nicolai Højgaard. Højgaard is world champion for junior teams. He also won individual silver at the Junior World Championship. This year he won the European Championship for Amateurs.

Uganda showed no mercy against Romania

The flag bearer of the Philippines will be golfer and Asian Games gold medalist, Yuka Saso. Isn't she the first golfer to be flag bearer at the Youth Olympics? Please correct me, if I'm wrong. https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/09/27/18/champion-golfer-yuka-saso-to-carry-philippine-flag-at-youth-olympics-opener

16-year old Wang Jianjiahe sets a new 400 m short course world record in 3.53.97 at a FINA World Cup in Budapest. She is the first woman/girl to go under the 3.54 mark at the distance on short course.

Not everybody is Sagan, who wins the rainbow jersey every year

Last 30 sec. Winning round Official time. New Danish record. Winning interview

15 minutes left 53.73 km/h Looks like a new Danish record (I hope haven't jinxed it )

Halfway 53.75 km/t

First ten minutes. 53.5 km/h

Ready to start Here goes the start.

30 minutes to start.

Hey everyone. I will go to Odense Velodrome today, where Bjerg's attempt will take place, and suppot him in his hour record attempt. I promise to post pictures and a couple of videos from his attempt. His attempt starts at 18:00 CET.

The Danish record is 53.619 km/h, which is the second longest in the world, so it will not be easy for Bjerg to beat Toft Madsen's record. Toft Madsen set his record in Mexico, while Bjerg's attempt will be in Odense. Not really the same conditions. Toft Madsen's record at European ground is 52.324 km/h, Bjerg record is 52.311 km/h. Bjerg will very likely beat 52.324 km/h.

Hopefully he can do better than Sakuyama, when he won the Summer Grand Prix in 2015: World Cup Overall: 47

Me: Klimov wins the Summer Grand Prix, must mean he's also going to win the World cup. Betting all my money on Klimov as winner. Me, after the season is over:

Update: AIBA's election committee confirms Rakhimov as the only candidate for president of AIBA. https://d152tffy3gbaeg.cloudfront.net/2018/10/List_approved_candidates_Election_Committee.pdf

Chappuis suffered a injury in 2016-17 season. He had to end the season due to serious back pain. In April 2017, doctors later found a benign bone tumour, which had to be surgically removed. A bone transplant was necessary as well. He tried a comeback in March, where he came second in the French Championship. Later he decided to end his career. The surgery and the feelings he has been going through in the process after the surgery, are probably some of the main reasons for his retirement. On his facebook page he wrote: "This decision is the result of a long process, not without emotions, but liberating at the end."

If AIBA promise to create somekind of mixed team event, IOC will probably look pass all the dodgy stuff.
