Body Santavy has lifted 389 in training, so hopefully he can win a medal.

I don't mind if both sports go, so this is a good thing for me

I don't think Canada sent its main athletes here as the home world cup is next week.

Its in terms of placement. So if you finish 2+5 your total is 7 ... but the results website shows combined results totals so honestly I have no idea.

What would the venue plan be?

That does sound weird. Coca Cola has the rights so not sure why they paid them. In exchange they probably got free coca cola bottles for volunteer meals etc.

Youtube is down atm.

Don't give them ideas!

For 2022 in Dakar, athletes will need to swim to their boats first before starting the course.

I wrote the comment before the last heat, I didn't realize there was one more heat to go

Sri Lanka's 200m sprinter with best time in the competition so far but won't win a medal

Wow, no one can afford that unless you are pretty well off.

"$800M from City of Calgary for Olympics 'not a good deal,' says Nenshi" "I would like to think it's dead," said Chu, but added that Calgarians will have the final say in the Nov. 13 plebiscite on the bid. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/city-council-olympics-funding-2026-1.4863976

I have a song for the 2019 edition and its Olympic related

Plot twist: FIVB knew this was going to happen (ie less European teams in favour of more Americas teams) and decided on this system. Jk

I like this qualification format. it guarantees the top teams compete. However, I never like using the World Rankings as a method to seed teams.

The first 5 all have won Olympic medals before unlike Brunei, so I don't think so

The male athletics announcer is pretty knowledgeable.

Wow won gold in Canoe/Kayak
