Azerbaijan could host tomorrow... but the IOC seems to favour the big names (Almaty would have won 2022 if that weren't the case) or ones that have a really compelling story. Azerbaijan does not check of either, and if there is another bid they will likely lose.

Yes, I can understand why Qatar will not host the Olympics anytime soon. But it's time for the IOC to promote big changes, or we will see Qatar rising as a potential host if no other place wants to host the Games. I believe Azerbaijan would go crazy if they had a real shot of hosting the Olympics (they have the money, for sure), and I guess the members of the IOC probably see Azerbaijan as a less awkward host, but you never know. 
 

Both LA and Paris said they would not bid for 2028, so this decision by the IOC is smart. Its not like there are cities lining up to host...

Same for Italy, we have a nice mix of athete for the first WC after Tania Cagnotto's retirment. We have a 14yo (Chiara Pellacani) whit a 4th place in Senior European Championship  

Strange, I have adblock as well and it works..but never mind, I´m Happy that you are happy you´re welcome
 

Wow, probably biggest victory margin ever... hard to believe a team can't even score 1 point per period.

Looks like these championships will have a huge empty stadium as a background.

This sucks, but with all due respect, it's not like many people in the world care about this sport, in all honesty. I mean, I know it is important in Slovakia, but it is mostly ignored around the globe. Still sucks, though, that they can't get it right. If the main problem is the cost for the venue, then get this sport out of the YOG and stop embarrassing athletes and viewers. Just my two cents.

Now, I believe that if they can nail a great atmosphere in Athletics, Swimming, Gymnastics and fix team sports (most notably Football and Basketball), then the YOG might succeed and attract more public and viewers. They are certainly trying new ideas, but I'm still not sure these sports are the best they could be on this level. 

Nowhere it was just a attempt of joke about the last 3 days without Totallympics but well it wasn´t so much funny apparently

And heywoodu's comment is gone.

Sorry for your loss  

This has been a tough week for me. Some of you may have noticed that I have a picture of my dog, Benny, on my profile page. In fact when I was on the old forum, I had a photo of Benny as my avatar. I am very sad to tell you that this week I had to make the very tough decision of letting Benny go.
He was injured a few weeks ago in a car accident and he suffered an injury to his back. He was given medication and rest and I was hoping and praying that he would be able to recover. As the second week passed it became clear that Benny was not progressing and a decision would have to be made. One more week but it was no good.
 
He was made as comfortable as possible after his accident but I hard to make the awful decision of deciding that it was best to let him go. I am heartbroken and as much as I tried to distract myself for the last couple of weeks, it didn't prepare me for having to say goodbye . I am sorry if I have not replied to any messages and have not been updating any threads these last few days. I will be back on top of things soon.
 
Here is a couple of pics to share with you of my lovely Benny.... he was a wonderful and loyal friend.
 
 

 
 
 
 

Does it mean you think Canada is not qualified yet ? because that's wrong, that 3-0 win secured a SF place for Canada. , Canada's set ratio is bigger than 1,
 
if Russia beats Brazil 3-0 (which is almost impossible) they will be qualified alongside Canada, otherwise Brazil and Canada will be in semifinal.

Cool fireworks for Canada's 150th

Happy 150th Birthday to Canada!!  

Happy 150th Birthday to Canada!!  

Yeah, and see, and UFO on the sky! 

Apparently Slovenian federation plans to sue FIVB if the new rules will be applied. Slovakian and Dutch federations which will be totally eliminated from World League under the new system stated they will support the Slovenian federation.

Last time Canada was in the final 6, they got Russia and Brazil. However they did get one victory back then, so maybe they could do it this time too.

Yeah sure  I love your replay when someone touch Algeria or Africa  

set in Qatar - Venezuela match ended 45-43
