Schulting with a decent 8th in the 1000m in her long track WC debut.

Gold for Ivanie Blondin in the women’s 3000m at the ISU Nagano World Cup! She did an interview with Olympics.ca this season, said she was in the form of her life. She really is, wow.

More information has been released on the first edition of the World Athletics Ultimate Championships in 2026, including the events. Mixed 4x100m relay will make its global debut. https://x.com/worldathletics/status/1859915183071662442?s=46&t=_XjleMNZelg_AVmJy7FfWA

is considering US born goalie Joey Daccord for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off. https://thehockeynews.com/news/team-canada-is-seriously-considering-usa-born-joey-daccord-for-4-nations-face-off .923 SV% in 13 games, and 9-3-1 on the season. Would be a big pickup for our goalie issues.

Thank god for VPNs Absolute life-saver

Men’s side is absolutely cooked. I’m hoping Bujnowski/De Bruin can come back next season and strengthen our women’s side. De Bruin hasn’t retired even with her suspension, she still has plans for Milano-Cortina 2026, not sure about Bujnowski.

Men’s team qualifies for the Nations League Finals with a 3-0 win over Suriname!

Rafael Nadal (tennis) Officially retired following the conclusion of the Davis Cup, where Spain got eliminated in the quarterfinals. He’s a 22x Grand Slam Champion (14 at Roland Garros, 5 at the US Open, 2 at the Australian Open, 2 at Wimbledon), “King of Clay”, and an Olympic gold medalist in both singles (2008) and doubles (2016)

Farewell Rafa!

Awesome, thanks Go Edin and Hasselborg!

If you don’t want to pay like me: BBC is streaming some of Scotland’s round robin matches (and potentially the playoffs?), against the top teams, you’ll just need to set your VPN to Great Britain. The Olympics Channel will also be live-streaming all medal matches on the App/website, although it’ll be geo-blocked in Sweden, Poland, and Switzerland (other companies probably have rights, but I don’t know which ones…)

I met JT Miller and Conor Garland of the yesterday, it was an incredible experience

I think you’re being too pessimistic as usual, you really need to have more belief in the Dutch athletes Xandra is one of the top women in the 1000m, and all three relays should also provide solid medal chances. Maybe Daleman will develop as a contender in the next few years? Roest is in the mix in the 10000m, Rijpma de Jong in the 1500/3000m, Leerdam in the 500m, as is your men’s and women’s team pursuits.
