I’m not a design expert but the color of the seats reminds me of clothespins

Well looks like Mexikoplatz in Wien is now “1976 Goldmedaillengewinner, Fechten platz” comolete with another golden statue of Bach

I wonder what does most members of the so called “Athletes Comission” do besides traveling like sheiks every now and then? I think there should be a rule in the Olympic Charter and every qualification system that NOC’s can’t reject a place obtained by an athlete, qualified by their own merits (not applicable for universality/tripartite places) NOC’s could still retain the power to nominate athletes in those cases where quotas are awarded directly to them and they have more national competitors qualifying under the minimum criteria (like swimming, athletics)

Well I’m expecting 6 golds for Mexico obviously

Let’s see how many lawsuits the outspoken athletes file against IOC if they get punished. I’m sure they can be held accountable under Swiss and/or European courts of breaching “freedom of expression” for turning a blind eye to these host demands. (And I guess Russian athletes to some extent could also sue to display their flag and hear their anthem)

Really hope she can test negative and be ready for the Olympics and achieve her goals. Get well soon @brunamoura (Totallympics right now)

So I think they’re only waiting for Germany, South Korea & Bosnia to confirm if they’ll take their reallocations.

Probably because our Olympic Commitee wants to be politically correct and mostly suck Bach’s balls, as they could be suspended due to not so veiled government interference.

Because he’s Hubertus and hope dies last, but he’s far from reaching the minimum points to qualify. The one in doubt was SOTO, since there’s another skier that has under 300 distance points, but in the later’s case is mostly in roller ski competitions in Japan, so I guess the nomination will go to Soto, as he has consistently been under 300 in snow proper.

Yes, but our woman is not Sofia Goggia

She's probably the only one in the delegation that truly excelled and achieved her goals, so I'm very proud of her.

And all because Mexicans don't seem to like the top of the podium

A little dissapointed by Mexican performance. Some of those silvers could have been gold have our athletes dropped it at the line. Still, top 3 should be the goal, given they are the second biggest team at this competition.

Seems he needs some psychology to help him in the decisive duels. It's not the first time he fails at this point, and honestly, if he wants to have a long career in the sport, he'll need to overcome those fears.

Indeed, some unexpected result.

So basically anyone who ends 4th in Concacaf and 5th in South America.

By that margin, I can only think of biased judging favoring Cuba like in CAC Games

Thanks for the hard work on these stats. If not too much to ask, I’d like to see my voting history, since I’ve lost some of it. I was well aware of Mexican one sided crush on French music, who if I remember correctly have only returned points on one ocasion.

To add preteens with stupid nicknames supposedly "dancing"

Talking about peculiar names: the names of the US competitors in men's air pistol are Hunter Battig & Remington Smith

I think they're not complete yet. If you look, you'll see there's no entry from Colombia yet. So probably in the next couple of days we will see them complete.
