    It's the Gymnastics podcast I posted here during the Olympics (not even kidding) xD They also have a bunch of horror stories about the organization, apparently there have been a lot of issues around athletes (and them) getting food. Especially true for people with dietary restrictions.

    In a big upset, Team Spirit defeated Team Secret 2-1 in the lower bracket finals and PSG.LGD 3-2 in the grand finals of The International 10 to win the biggest prize ever in esports (18 million USD). This is the first win for either Russia or Ukraine since the very first TI.

    Pretty common in North America. 2018 US Olympic trials had only four participants in the women's 5000m and two participants (including a 53 year old) in the men's 10000m.

    National Championship Men's 10,000m results: Ted-Jan Bloemen - 12.41.55 (TR) Graeme Fish - 12:49.33 Jordan Belchos - 13:02.75

    This is actually really far down the list of his worst ideas.

    gets a crucial 4-1 home win against fourth place thanks in part to a ridiculous individual effort by Alphonso Davies.

    After losing to the United States and to Chile, the Canadian fails to qualify for the men's rugby world cup for the first time ever. Hopefully this is the catalyst for everyone who works for Rugby Canada to lose their jobs.
  8. NearPup
    Rugby Canada is in complete shambles and, frankly, at this point the organization should be burned to the ground and rebuilt. And this failure pales in comparison to the bullshit going on with the women's program.

    And if anything that result is faltering to Mexico. Really happy with Canada's position now. This is looking like a team that has a very real shot of qualifying for the World Cup.

    Especially dumb considering the Super-G is consistently one of the best event.
  12. NearPup
    Apparently the FIS is thinking of having world championships in all non-Olympic years, having A and B races for the downhill at the world cup level (limiting the A race to 24 skiers) and getting rid of both the combined and the Super-G.
  13. NearPup
    Ya, Alpine Skiing has the strangest "opening" event of almost any sport. It feels almost more like a per-season meet than a real world cup race xD Probably the least bad time to pick up an injury.
  14. NearPup
    I personally don't see Qatar hosting anytime soon unless the IOC can't get another credible bid.
  15. NearPup
    Sidney Crosby, Connor McDavid and Alex Pietrangelo have been provisionally named to the Canadian Olympic team (IIHF requested three players be named early, apparently). The 50 man shortlist is due later in October.

    If they didn’t award a gold to Roy Jones Jr., the victim of perhaps the most egregious robbery in the history of the Olympics, then I wouldn’t hold my breath.

    I meant her defection, not this doping test.
  18. NearPup
    A big loss for Bulgarian sports /s

    Replace it with what? The figure skating team event had five quotas spots assigned to it (and those are shared with the host nation quotas). The only thing cutting this event would give is more ice time.
  20. NearPup
    I love that there is a team event for figure skating, but the format is terrible.

    Women singles qualifiers: Alternates: Full qualification for women’s singles: 3 quotas: 2 quotas: 1 quota:
  22. NearPup
    Pairs Olympic qualifiers: Alternates: Really disappointing result for China, who almost certainly would have had three pairs after worlds if not for COVID and because 2 of the 3 teams ahead of them are transfers. Unfortunately they had two falls. This is the Olympic debut in pairs for both Spain and “Georgia”. Qualification summary for pairs: Three entries: Two entries: One entry:
  23. NearPup
    has qualified a full team of 18! Men’s singles qualifiers: Alternates: Qualification summary for men’s singles: 3 entries: 2 entries: 1 entry:
  24. NearPup
    and both grab a second men’s single quota, with the last group pending. If or slip up are in line for a quota in that order. The Turkish skaters finished almost tied, with the skater who is eligible to won a quota 0.06 points behind the skater who is trying to win a quota.
  25. NearPup
    I hadn’t considered that. is solidly ranked in the top 10 by points so as long as they qualify in ice dance they are almost guaranteed a spot in the team event.
