intoronto reacted to hckošice in Freestyle Skiing at the Winter Olympic Games 2018
Zuzana Stromková will definitively not compete in PyeongChang She announced today that she is still not ok after her last month surgery and will miss also the last world cup race before the qualifying deadline, she was long time in the top 20 of the qualifying list but due the surgery she missed almost all this new seasons races and dropped from the top 24 for PyeongChang, and since she will not compete in Laax she officially lost all chances to compete at her second Olympics
So no Slovak participants in Freestyle Skiing in PC 2018. source in SVK https://sport.sme.sk/c/20734927/zuzana-stromkova-nepojde-na-zoh-2018.html

Bosnia cancelled, Serbia cancelled, Lebanon cancelled...
This is just horrible for all those seeking qualification. I wonder if FIS will invite as wild cards, like they did with in 2014 (alpine skiing though)... This time it would be very much justified.

The Winter Olympics are much more exciting to watch.

Yea the summer Olympics have much more wtf and boring sports than the Winter ones. The Winter Olympics are much more exciting to watch.

Then again, that's exactly the thing I read a lot during the Summer Olympics as well (at least on the Dutch forums), mostly during the few minutes there's some TV attention for the likes of synchronized swimming, trampolining, rhythmic gymnastics, taekwondo (and next time definitely karate as well) or that wrestling form where they start in sort of a doggy style position
It is indeed completely about which sports have at least a tiny bit of interest in your country or not. I was serious as well by the way, the Winter Olympics being gone (and so automatically the competitions in those sports gradually decreasing) would absolutely shatter me more than anything in my life (at least until now, my life has not been bad so far, I must admit, but still) (same goes for losing the Summer Olympics btw)

Without a doubt there needs to be a consistent world cup that develops the sport first.

Yeah, that's why I said it. In our country's case (Spain), we had a guy in mono-bob in YOG's but now he has nothing to do as there's no more Spaniards in this sport to compete with....

intoronto reacted to LDOG in Totallympics Suggestions and Problems Thread
Well, now that we are all opening up on our family issues, i feel like i can confess my past crimes too: every time in the old forum when Sindo edited a single insignificant phrasing or a space in my results posts, I always went back to it after a certain time and edited it back purely out of spite for the sheer sillyness of the situation

intoronto reacted to Werloc in Totallympics Suggestions and Problems Thread
Firstly, I want to talk about the 'regime'. I was reading some cross-country skiing threads and noticed that @heywoodu failed to post in the correct one twice. When I reloaded the page, I saw that all three cross-country threads were on the top and I thought it would be funny to poke fun at that, you know, just for shits & giggles. I made a screenshot and precisely picked an off topic thread for general discussions with the sole purpose to make a joke and now it's moved into suggestions & problems thread. You see where this is going? I was making a joke! I was not commenting on an issue of the forum, it was supposed to be simple fun, but now it's in the problem thread
Secondly, in my humble opinion, editing posts of users to fit certain standards makes the user feel stupid. No one should feel like they did something wrong, just because they didn't post the right way. I remember even from old Totallympics how many times my font, the size of the letters and colours were changed for stuff like entry lists or even entering a TISC competition. There was only one blue, only one pink, only one green that could be used and if you tried anything different it was changed to be the same like the rest to have a unifying principle. If you misspelled a word in the topic, you could guarantee that it would be edited, because illiteracy would be too difficult to handle here. I know, it's cool to see everything neat and in order, but it only adds a feeling that you're always safeguarded and watched.
Anyways, from my experience of all these years in Totallympics I can say that I developed a fear of opening threads. My last thread that I opened was the TISC that I hosted that had a perfect template made for the first few pages, yet I still felt stress whilst opening it Back in old TT, I remember seeing users use different tables and other stuff that I was always unable to re-create and everything would be edited to be perfect no matter how much I tried to come close to those standards. Anyways, throughout the years, I stopped trying to do anything creative here and resigned to just comment on stuff, because that's the only thing that I can do right here.
Final thoughts: a forum should not be alienating its own users. I appreciate your work @Sindo and I appreciate you inviting me here all these years ago. It's not like I'm going to leave, primarily because I would miss all of the emotional ladies of this forum, but I gotta say, that I'm not as active as I used to be, because there's not that many things left to discuss for me. When biathlon season ends and TISC hasn't started yet, pretty much the only posts that I'll be able to make will be me writing about a good Lithuanian result in some thread that no one will care about Anyways, that's my two cents in this whole situation.

will be represented by Val Sweeting / Brad Gushue (Olympic Gold medalist 2006) or Kaitlyn Lawes (gold medalist in 2014) and John Morris (gold medalist in 2010) in the mixed doubles in Pyeongchang.

intoronto got a reaction from rybak in Winter Olympic Games 2018 Debuting, Coming Back, Returning and Missing Nations
These will qualify
Nigeria
Jamaica
Ghana (also has an alpine skier)
North Korea
Just outside qualification and need better results
Tajikistan (needs a couple good results to qualify)
Venezuela: no race results since last update, needs 2-3 good results
Nepal (needs a couple good results)
Tonga 1 more race needed... but he hasn't been close to hitting it after Project Bogota.
Unlikely:
Trinidad and Tobago
Algeria
Paraguay (needs good results x5 to qualify... time is running out).
First 4 should qualify, I also predict Tajikistan, Nepal and Tonga to qualify. So 7 more nations would equal 96 countries.

intoronto got a reaction from hckošice in [POLL] Which are your 3 Top Favorite Winter Olympic Sports? (2018 version)
Hockey without a doubt is #1. Short track is second, very fun sport to watch on tv and better in person (these athletes are so fast!). Biathlon is surprisngly third for me, its very interesting to watch as anything can happen.
