it's probably the first time the NT plays a home match on Nowruz (technically 7 hours after the Nowruz) but no that had nothing to do with the accident. 
 
that was power failure or something like that.
 
and Iran scored the first goal on 45+27 minute  
 
btw this win 99.99% made Iran qualify for the World Cup.

What happened with the 29 minutes interruption in Iran Vs UAE 1st half?
Have they never played on Nowruz before or is this a start of a new tradition?

Japan   is the first qualified at WC2026 (except the hosts), this is their 8th participations (8-in-a-row)
 
Results group C
 
2 - 0 (Kamada 66', Kubo 87')

I had high expectations for Motta, but Juventus have been playing awfully almost the entire season.. The CL elimination was disastrous and they are barely hanging to top 4 in the Serie A. And with their schedule it's very possible they miss the CL next season and even dropping out of the Europa League. If i was in the Juve board i'd start panicking. And they also have the World Cup in the summer.
 
Italia has been having a disastrous year in Europe in general. After being the top nation the past 2 years and almost getting 9 teams, now they are losing the extra CL spot and it's not sure if they'd even have a team in the 1/2 in Europe. 

Bos! 
 
First gold for  at a Skeleton World Championships 

Nicole in 4th is the best brazilian result ever in winter sports, amazing!

Well, Honda and Yamaha are getting pantsed this season even more but at least we have more geese in Phillip Island
 
 

Holy smokes they did it, they caught the booster  
 
That was one of the alltime rocket highlights, no doubt.
 
 

Latam cup 2024
 
 7-2 
 4-4 
 8-2 
 
qualified to semifinal vs Chile 

Any chance to see Maduro as a small forward in the next match? :))

It's a nice feeling to tell my disabilititated daughter these girls have to jump over water and see the smile on her face.
Priceless feeling.

Of course.

Title says it all: what were your favorite moments of the Paris Olympics? I would kindly like to ask everyone to make this a positive thread, with some basic ground rules:
 
1. Post cool, awesome, inspiring, thrilling moments you enjoyed in a positive way (not 'I loved that athlete X lost or crashed!'), whether that's a gold, a 50th place or just something unrelated to results but still nice.
 
2. Let's not react to each others suggestions with 'no way, that sucked, I hated that'. I know we're a very international bunch and everyone seeing it from their own country's perspective often leads to things being seen as very cool by one and shitty by another, that's fine, but it would be great to keep this thread positive. We can have a special negative thread, if people want, but it's not this one. #peace  If you see someone post something as a positive thing and you hated or disliked it, just sit on your fingers and close the thread or something, we have plenty of places here to express that negativity.
 
That should be all, let's party  
 
 

I will of course continue to be active on this forum after the Olympics. Many of you probably experience the same as me today, that feeling of depression that the Olympics are over. This year that feeling is more a little more sombre due to the fact I am reminiscing about my Olympic vacation and also I start a brand new job tomorrow after a 4 week break from my old job so it's like all good things are ending today

Well, for someone that has almost 10,000 posts in about a year and a half (I joined in August 2022, and started posting regularly in 2023, that many posts might be a Totallympics record of some sorts?), I’d sure hope so 
 
Easiest question I’ll ever answer in my life, hell yeah (somewhat unfortunately for all of you) 
 
Totallympics has been such a great space to discuss sporting events with other fellow enthusiasts, get support after family emergencies (after my dad got taken to the hospital in an ambulance in early May, I shared something about it in the “General Thread”, and I was shocked by the overwhelming amount of replies and messages I got by various users on the forum, wishing for him to have a speedy recovery, to get well soon, and if I needed anything they were here for me, which was really really nice), and the friends that I’ve made here, well I wouldn’t trade them for anything. 

Well done Furlani. Future Olympic champion!

Apparently Lyles has covid. Why did he go off in a wheelchair

Teboooooogo!!!!
 
  

Great result for athletics. Lyles can take his antics to locker room now. I don't think USA celebrates bronze medals too much
