I have good memories of that stadium (went to the world junior athletics worlds in 2010, the 2014 U20 women's world cup and the 2015 women's world cup there).

This was way funnier when he represented .

And it's very well understood that people from can hold and/or citizenship based on the Good Friday agreement. So it makes a lot of sense to let people from a free choice to compete for either or when competing for isn't an option.

But is it youthful and gender equal?

Doh. You are correct, miss-read (as in saw Mon) the article.

The 2024 Olympic Trials will be held in Moncton.

Anything is better than . The problem is that is sort of Canadian kryptonite, but also losing to them is embarrassing and beating them isn’t even satisfying.

just relieved it doesn't have to play again.

This decision seems a little ridiculous.

Just to clarify, this appears to be dual moguls (as in men's and women's dual moguls, not a team event). Well the level in women's ski jumping increased extremely quickly after Olympic inclusion so I assume the same will happen here, though obviously the level in men's Nordic Combined is itself very low as is.

This maintains our hopes of finishing 4th.

There is hardly a day in Ottawa where you can’t find a few dozen Falun Gong protestors, yet Western media doesn’t give them any coverage (for good reasons).

Hey now, he’s the Silver Slovak now :P (This will never stop being funny to me)

Crans-Montana will host the 2027 world championships.

Ya but the IOC added the youthful, urban and gender equal sport of golf to increase 's medal output.

Canoeing and Sailing have the advantage of still being Olympic sports until at least 2028, a luxury Modern Pentathlon wishes it had. I think both Canoeing and Sailing are in grave danger of having the size of their program significantly downsized but I think both sports will remain in some form long term.

I feel it was already pretty dead once the IOC unceremoniously removed it from the list of core sports. Does anyone really think LA 2028 or Brisbane 2032 organizers are going to go to bat to make Modern Pentathlon one of their additional sport? It's undeniably the Summer Olympic sport that provides the least bang for the buck for the IOC, and more than any other Summer sport (and arguably *any* sport other than the sliding sports) it's entirely dependent on the Olympics for it's survival.

Won't and be relegated anyway? There are already 16 teams set for next year without them.

Every American cable news network does clickbait and garbage opinion shows. CNN, Fox News and MSNBC also all have a serious hard news department that employs really good journalists, but you wouldn't know it from scanning their website's homepage or from listening to their network most of the day.

You may be the member of this forum most likely to win an Olympic gold medal one day :P

Long overdue.

Maybe Olympic boxing should use televoting?

Shame on Putin for ruining this contest (also all the other stuff).

The max possible number of televoter points is 480... lol. They averaged higher than second place across all of Europe.

lol - 103 jury votes, 3 public votes, 123 jury votes, 2 public votes. Ooooof.
