AmericanHero40 got a reaction from gilbsh in The Israeli Delegation In The Paris המשלחת הישראלית במשחקים בפריז
אני לא בטוח. עדיין לא לקחו את כול המקומות לרוסים. ועדיין לא הגיע הזמן לכול המדינות לקבל את המקומות. יכול להיות מצב שבו מישהו מבטל והכרטיס עובר לישראל. אבל נגמר הזמן לעשות קריטריון. כול התחרויות העפלה נגמרו. רק נשארו תחרויות כדורסל

Justin Trudeau's Liberals lost a byelection in a riding in Toronto (one of the safest Liberal ridings). This should be the beginning of the end for one of (if not) the worst PMs Canada has seen.

AmericanHero40 got a reaction from Ted in Summer Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028 News
Very interesting. After swimming in Lucas Oil they saw how awesome it can be and want to take it once step further
I love that some more fun sports head to Sepulveda Basin, 10 minutes away from my house.
It's good that gymnastics moved to Staples Center but now I hope volleyball moves to the forum. It's way too far in orange county. Though Honda center is a much better facility
If they moved equestrian to Temecula, why is tennis still in carson?? Indian wells is one of the biggest tennis stadiums in the world. Granted it's going to be hotter then hell there but Temecula is not far away from there

AmericanHero40 reacted to phelps in Sailing 2023 Discussion Thread
it's quite a mess
in windsurfing, now the preliminary races are of 3 types: the classic fleet, the slalom course and 1 longer fleet race (called Marathon)
at the end of the prelims, the best sailor advances directly to the final, the 2nd and 3rd ranked advance to the semifinal and the remaining 7 of the top 10 (the actual medal contenders) go through to the quarterfinal race
the top 2 of the quarterfinal advance to the semifinal, then the top 2 of the semifinal advance to the final, where the 3 finalists decide which medal color they get
in kitesurfing, after the prelims, the top 2 advance to the final, meanwhile the remaining 8 among the top 10 are divided into 2 semis of 4 sailors each (serpentine system is normally used)
here the best of the 4 starts with 2 "ghost wins", the 2nd best with 1 "ghost win" and the other two with no bonus points
the 1st to get to 3 wins (ghost wins included, of course) wins the semifinal round and advance to the final, where we have the same scheme: the 1st of the prelims starts with 2 "ghost wins", the 2nd with 1 "ghost win" and the 2 kitesurfers coming from the semis with 0 bonus points
once again, the 1st to 3 total wins is the champion, then for the remaining places it's up to the number of wins in the final round and in case of a tie, the actual placing in the last regatta is the decider
I think we'll see a lot of occasional viewers (and also occasional broadcasters/reporters) with some strong headache come the Olympic thanks to these crazy formats

AmericanHero40 reacted to heywoodu in Formula 1 FIA World Championship 2023
I've been to Spa twice, which was kind of fun, but it was hellishly warm and Spa is notoriously awful in terms of infrastructure around the track, especially at the height of the Verstappen-hype it was just....too much. Tens of thousands of people and basically one little road towards the one highway.
I'm not sure about the support program in the North American races. If it's F1 only, I wouldn't go, personally I'd be more happy to see F2 and F3 as well since they usually have a bit more action.
In terms of visibility: there should be big screens on several places to follow the race, but once pitstops have started, it might be a bit hard to really keep track of how things are going.
I know this all doesn't sound too positive But it is still a nice experience overall, especially Montreal does seem like a nice place to go to for a race.

AmericanHero40 got a reaction from NaBUru38 in Russia-Ukraine Crisis Consequences in Sports
Even though I'm anti Russian, not allowing them to play is not fair. Move the games somewhere else. Either to one of the 3 countries in the bracket or to a totally different country. But their players to deserve to play (and probably lose to poland anyway)

Yea but if they kick Russia out then everyone should. No OAR in the paralympic games. No tennis players. No Russians in the diamond league. Nothing. And athletes don't deserve this.

AmericanHero40 reacted to heywoodu in Formula 1 FIA World Championship 2021
This circuit is on the edge of what should be allowed in terms of safety, but honestly I do actually kind of like it...it's nerve-wrecking, that's for sure.
And we've got a new rule in F1 apparently: even when you have all the time in the world to react and avoid a collision, you can just hit someone hard in the back and not only get away with it, but even get rewarded for it
Maybe Verstappen had to make way a little more and this would have been acceptable?

AmericanHero40 got a reaction from Dnl in Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024 Tickets, Trips and Experiences
There is no one centralized place to buy them, every country have their own agency and thats the only place to buy tickets, so i can only buy from the american seller, you're only from the israeli, etc.
My financial situation is much better now then 2016, so probably will be even better in 2028, and since i won't have to pay insane prices for lodging i will be able to enjoy myself, hopefully my family won't hate me after
