Because mixed events help the silly gender equality political corectness BS more than having a women's team event. It's that crazy but don't search for logic when it comes to pure politics.

Line-ups for women's team event have been announced. Unsurprisingly Carina Vogt and Eva Pinkelnig are kicked out after a pathetic performance in today's competition.

US politics is dominated by these two parties for over 150 years which means you have a problem. Bernie Sanders is old as the hills and you can't bet on him doing anything in politics at this stage Besides, California us heavily pro-Democrat anyway so I find it difficult how people from that state can say a bad word about Democrats like that. The Hollywood propaganda does it's job very well too. Republicans are the only evil in US politics and Fox News should be banned, that's the only mainstream message I get for number of years now

And there won't be another one since IOC has clearly said they prefer Brisbane. So nobody will waste a single penny of public money to bid for something that's already been decided. You got to love democracy, transparency & integrity shown by IOC here?

Corrupt & incompetent Democrats? How on Earth is that possible? Only Republicans are corrupt & incompetent after all

They're in with a chance in the mixed event too

Might as well close this thread since there is no bidding "process" to begin with. Brisbane gets it and everyone else can f### off

Could be gold in women's team event too.

Why? More of the "moderate vs progressive" internal war for the Democrats? Or simply Cuomo has become too powerful and might upset Kamala Harris' Presidential bid when Joe Biden retires with health issues? I didn't hear ANY of this Cuomo backlash when Trump was still President

Changing the gates in women's ski jumping is so frequent and unneccessary everyone except FIS is tired of it. Nothing you can do about it though.

Tremendous choke from Kramer. Takanashi only bronze is also a loser. Ema Klinec is World Champion. Really happy for the Slovenians!

Kramer choked too!!!

She just did.

She can't possibly do worse than Miriam Goessner... when it comes to sporting performance

Vogt only got a place in the team because of her name. Lisa Goerlich should have been selected. German women are quite clearly in ddcline in ski jumping.

It's funny how Cuomo was the face of COVID on TV when Trump was still President and suddenly they all hate him. If the COVID situation doesn't get better in USA Democrats have nobody else to blame but themselves anymore since thet have full power now and I bet they know COVID will cripple them too. So they're setting up to throw people to the wolves. Cuomo is obviously one of the first who will have to fall on the sword.

Looks like Democrats have to find a new scapegoat now that Trump is out of office and they can't blame everything on him anymore. New York governor Andrew Cuomo is suddenly feeling the heat https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56120500

Let's see if Takanashi doesn't choke at WCh for a change It should be Kramer vs her for the gold. Kriznar & Opseth didn't look impressive in training & quals so should only fight for minor medals.

Thankfully no gold medal sweep for Norway. Sundling with a power performance in the final whereas Svahn completely flopped in the SF

You think IOC will bankroll the Canadian bid just to keep the Games away from Qatar or Russia? They can get away with this shtick only as long, not to mention four straight Olympics in French/English speaking countries? (Paris, LA, Brisbane, Toronto). That's like zero diversity involved on top of everything else

Canada? After Montreal spend 40+ years paying off the 1976 debt? Canada ain't hosting the SOG in my lifetime ever again. Madrid lost three straight times recently and I think they're done with more bids for a while too.

The most serious bids would be Russia, Turkey and Qatar anyway. These are countries which can spend all the public money they want to and nobody would ask anyone if hosting the Games is "sustainable financially" IOC might as well drop the transparency bullshit but they can't prevent Qatar from hosting SOG forever. Unless flexing them between USA and Australia every four years would be a sign of "diversity"?

They won't. They are officially banned because their doping plan apparently can't be approved in time for the start of IEC. World Athletics rejected their first plan. It's done.

There is no "professional weightlifting" that sucks all the talent out of the Olympics pool though. The thing with boxing is that all the teenagers from USA, UK, Latin American countries are lured by the big pro contracts and don't need Olympic medals anymore. World Amateur Boxing championships are dominated by Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Cuba lately so by countries that get zero love from IOC to begin with. The cold war USA vs The East in amateur boxing is long extinct.
