Japan has zero choreography. They should be HEAVILY deducted in artistic performance, but still they earned the biggest score so far. This is ridiculous.

Rafaela Silva blames a 7-month old baby who she let 'suck' her nose as some form of playing. Baby uses asthma medication and this way Silva apparently (thinks she) inhaled it.
 
French cyclist Marion Sicot meanwhile tested positive for EPO and blames her period for the EPO levels in her blood (without really pointing to any study or something).

If anyone is interested, live results and streaming of Trampoline World Cup in Khabarovsk, right now.

Lithuania  is in.

Im in too, of course 

Brazil is in.
 

is in!

For those who hadn't realised it yet, the organizing committee decided to make a musical countdown for this year's TISC Open. We hope some of you have enjoyed it.  
 
We have one last song to present for you before we open TISC Open 2019.
 
Are you ready for...

 

On another topic, Ruth Castillo  turned 29 years old yesterday in her debut at the likely last World Championships of her career, making her the oldest gymnast in competition.
 
 

This is of course only a 2000's movie fueled theory, but perhaps, only perhaps, FIG has just given the boot to Mamma Viner, so she "randomly" put some bombs on those crowns, so the all around final be a tribute to the 1812 overture.
 
So if I were Linoy Ashram (or another of the finalists) I would fake an injury in order to stay as far as possible from the Averinas.

I'm not saying he or anyone else wasn't racist back then. What I'm saying is that now everyone wants to be offended and play the victim by out of place, irresponsible comments. Not that in any case it doesn't deserve an apology to those people who actually received an injury, either moral, psychological or physical. And like I say, whoever says his/herself hasn't thrown an insult, being a racial/gender/religious/social epithet or a disregarding, offensive comment to belittle someone for any other reason, is certainly lying and in that case, is just a big hypocrit.
 
But truth to be told, unless we're talking about actual hate crimes (genocide, mass murder, segregation, illegal experimentation, human trafficking), I really find unnecessary an apology out of time in mass media, if not, outright farsical and insincere; but you know,nowadays people is  more concerned about outward gestures than actual honesty and taking full responsibility regarding actions, omissions and statements; what I call political correction.

i would rather call him "Bieber-like-mediadarling-attentionwhore", but when you're when new mass media and PR firms take you to power, you also risk being crucified by them by some dumb idiocy you said the past.
 
Just remember Ricky Martin made a succesful coup d'etat in Puerto Rico, after some unfortunate and I admit out of place rant for a political leader such as the the Governor, but in my mind I just thought how biased and judgemental is the people to actually make him resign for such triviality, when 99.99% of the world's population has talked trash abou others, even throwing insults, at one point of their life.

guys, Greco-Roman Wrestling is the history of this sport...this is the discipline that was present since the very first edition of the modern Games...and it doesn't include women's competitions...point.
I just wish all the worst to those who even think about a further cut to the Wrestling Olympic program...
 
gender equality has really become an obsession that doesn't make any sense in the way it's intended right now...
 
it's OK having a place for both men and women within the entire sport, but nobody should even think that they must have the same number of events and athletes, when it's more than obvious that no sport in the world has so many female participants as males (not to mention that a relevant part of the world doesn't support -to say the least- women's sport at all)...
 
p.s. and someone should explain to me why nobody think about kicking artistic swimming and rhythmic gymnastics out of the Games program, as they blatantly reject any male presence (even when it should be possible to expand in that direction, but the IOC just said no to FINA when they proposed to switch from the all female duets to the mixed duets already in time for Tokyo 2020)?
 
frankly, I have to repeat myself once again...I find irritating all this talking of this farce named gender equality...and even more I find annoying every kind of justification of this sh*t which is just destroying the world of the Olympic sports as it's always been appreciated by the only fans the Games can have...

You can watch qualifications in this channel

Tbh repeatdly asking is not appropriate. Whats important here is paying your respects and that's it.

Tonight a minute's silence was held before the Series B match between Operario and Ponte Preta in tribute to Rodrigo. Huk's team won 2-1.
 

May he rest in peace.

It is with great sadness that I share the news that our dear friend Rodrigo Huk (@hukbrazil) has passed away at the age of 25.
 
As a young journalist, he worked for the website Surto Olímpico at the 2016 Rio Olympics, being one of the Totallympics members to attend those Games. An extremely humble and sensible guy, he was beloved and admired by the members of our brazilian sports group, leaving great memories for everyone who knew him. Huk will be greatly missed.
 
 

All Around individual finals on Friday, and Groups All Around competition on Saturday, if you're looking for Olympic qualification only. Both will be streamed in FIG's Youtube channel, along with apparatus finals on Tuesday (hoop, ball), Thursday (clubs, ribbon), and Sunday (Groups 5 balls, 3 hoops/2 clubs)

he is not the favorite for sure but none of these guys are impossible to beat for him. so yes of course he has a chance, not big but realistic. it's a bit hard to remember every match when you follow 2-3 mats at the same time but if I remember correctly despite the final score, Huklik (CRO) created more problems for Beleniuk.

Chusovitina giving some lessons to her grandchildren I see.

They all have subliminal messages to avoid eating corn?

They were supposed to be shaped like a rose, nevertheless they taste good
