(and to think that before the Olympics someone criticized the fact that D'Almeida name was in the prediction contest, calling him an "unknown" )

Yes, TWIF has the full results as posts on their Facebook page. The World Championships were livestreamed to YouTube as well.

Tug of War World Championships took place last week, and the IWGA now lists the qualifiers for Tug of War.

Men 640 kg -
 
Mixed 580kg -

Should limit it to 8 teams max, and perhaps of the placements being added, the scores maybe? Either way when you do a team event for an individual sport, it will always lead to the predictable result.

becomes the 32nd and last nation to qualify for the figure skating events. Same as in Pyeongchang, with 4 less quotas.

Looks like Edgaras Zekas and Jomantas Venckus might have overslept....both DNS, but here they are.
 

Cyprus made a mistake sending their skater in the women's event. 

Gregor Schlierenzauer (ski jumping) announced his retirement. He won everything except the individual OG gold medal.

Nice to see  fielding teams for the European Division C Championships. 

Winter olympics with the best venues is coming. Thank you China.

China probably kills thousands of dolphins each day, intentionally or not...

blah blah blah, China good, the West bad

Not much, since the chance of a dolphin virus jumping to Faroese humans and then infecting the whole world is tiny.

Because Mixed is now the recipe to succeed,  he is not dumb, he know how it works. Just say that key word "mixed" and it has serious chance to succeed

Asian Beach Games have been moved from May of next year to 2023.

Well that was last minute, so hoping for the best in 2027, but after five straight games in large global cities, going to Barranquilla does seem like a step down

I’ll need to do a way back search in some Instagram posts, but during the 2018 CAC Games hosted in that city, Mexican athletes complained and took photos showing the roof of the village was made of tin sheets, with no isolation or covering whatsoever.
 
And while the quality of the sports venues was OK for that event, Barranquilla will need to invest quite the money for most of the venues to reach a PanAm level.
 
Not saying I hope they will fail, but definitely, the OC needs to step up to the task for 2027.
 
 

First qualification for the games is now complete. and  qualified by making the finals of the Pan American cup in men's volleyball

First two qualifiers from NORCECA: and (with its B team)

Fingers crossed for a gold medal. Canada knows it can get any it can
