Let's don't compare a country with a population of 5 million which is like half of the New York urban area to USA It's like comparing Alabama going 12-0 in SEC and Coastal Carolina going 12-0 in Sun Belt

I've heard the trailblazer crap before, Michael Sam is a prime example you can have your 5 seconds and then it's over. Wrestling among other things is heavily-reliant on Olympic presence in USA. USA is a country that relies on their pro leagues. For a HS wrestler like Beggs UFC is the top target if anything. And Joe Biden can do shit about Zuffa and Dana White's priorities. So yeah, Olympic national team is a real benchmark if Beggs won't be a flash in the pan like Michael Sam turned out to be. There must be hundreds of thousands wrestlers in US high schools and how many of them would like to be in UFC rather than Olympics? US boxing has gone down the drain on the amateur level, does anyone care about Golden Gloves anymore? 54-year old Mike Tyson attracts more interest or some damn youtuber Jake Paul or whatever his name is. And you give me Mack Beggs? Wake up and smell the coffee! In three-four years time nobody will remember this guy anymore just like nobody remembers Michael Sam already.

Wake me up if he/she/whatever makes the US Olympic team Michael Sam got a ton of free publicity for being the first openly gay player in NFL but he never actually played a single down in the NFL and nobody gives a damn about him anymore.

NCAA is a country within a country anyway. It's the pillar of US sports dominance and most people still hate the fact athletes are total amateurs and all the money goes to the coaches and executives. At the end of the day USA always values performance. 2nd place means you're a loser. Obviously only female sports will be affected though. No female-born athlete will ever try her chances with boys under the equality banner.

Paulo Sousa is the new Poland NT head coach. Not an Italian but he did play for Juventus after all. Total boom or bust hire

After Deigenetsch's 11th place in the Antholz individual it feels like Weidel will be stuck in IBU Cup for a long while now?

Maka comes in 24th. Should be 26th at finish. Not bad for someone whose World Cup PB was 69th entering today

Anna Maka 19/20 and in line for a shocking Top 25?

Braisaz four misses. Sigh...

Hauser 19/20 and waaay faster than ACB! Hauser's ski speed improvement this season is truly impressive. Good thing she's not a Russian or... Wierer 18/20 and should be Top 5.

The Bouchets both 15/15!

Tandrevold 17/17 and blows it! 17/20. Hettich misses the last shot! 19/20.

Who cares it's only few people? Liberals waited for this payback four years. They will run wild with the cancel culture button

Torn ACL and ruptured patella for Ortlieb. Season over.

Meanwhile there are mices in Yulia Putintseva's room

Blah. He'd talk differently if he was an active athlete.

Sure enough, Simona de Silvestro is back at Indy 500 Spare me the diversity crap, Simona was making waves in IndyCar long before the politically correct morons ever bothered to take a look at her. It's not like Carmen Jorda or Milka Duno should ever be back driving a race car https://eu.indystar.com/story/sports/motor/2021/01/19/roger-penske-paretta-autosport-indy-500-simona-de-silvestro-diversity/4209355001/

You know the left-wingers are totally scared if The Guardian runs such a story. But it's now wonder, Joe Biden is 78 years old and seems like a total stopgap President with no real value on the international scene. It's gonna be four years of negating Trump's ideas on the internal market while China just keeps on going on the global stage. It's gonna be hilarious if Biden actually supports Trump's strict anti-Chinese policy

Just three more days and Biden will sign his own executive orders

What do you know, Marco Giampaolo has been relieved as the Torino head coach few hours later Even a five year old could connect the dots now!

Safety & security my ass. It's obviously about the money or lack thereof following Skoda's decision

Doping will never be stopped anyway and IOC knows that. Besides Justin Gatlin being present in Tokyo shows how hypocritical IOC really is. It's a no win situation for them since they were lenient before and playing hardball makes no sense anymore. They are sitting on their hands when it comes to Kenya already.

Polish NT head coach Jerzy Brzeczek has been fired! Good riddance Next one should be someone from Italy IMO.
