    What’s wrong with the men’a and the women’s relay? Why has this thread turned into a “should we remove the individual and the relays from the Olympics”?
  2. NearPup
    If that ever happens the IBU would probably switch to those stupid laser riffles and Biathlon will become as boring as Modern Pentathlon’s laser run :/

    Random linguistic question: are the words “rider” and “skater” the same in Dutch?

    Great duel for (provisional) third place between Blondin and Weidemann.

    finishing 1-2 in the 10000m would have been unthinkable ten years ago. Even discounting Bloemen Canada’s long distance program has improved dramatically. At this rate Ted-Jan will move to the Netherlands for a better shot at making the Olympic team. Edit: seriously, with Jordan Belchos also lurking in the background the Canadian 10k team for 2022 may actually be harder to qualify for than the Dutch one.

    This is the first ever world championship title for Bloemen.

    Under current rules Puerto Rico couldn't get an NOC. They are grandfathered in from the old rules (from when there were a lot more colonies).

    Canada has officially qualified with their victory over Sweden.

    Canada has qualified in Football, Volleyball, Hockey, Rugby Sevens, Softball and Water Polo (and will qualify im Basketball, short of a disaster). So no, not only the USA can match that :P

    Canada qualifies with an unimpressive 1-0 victory over Costa Rica. Happy Canada qualified, but not happy at all with the performance.

    Get a VPN for outside of the Americas and search YouTube for "CONCACAF".

    Because this qualification system was designed to increase the number of “meaningful” international games for each teams that will compete at the Olympics. Apparently this was a request of the national federations themselves.

    Denis Morison has announced his retirement.

    Pretty often? The Green Bay Packers are one of the most popular American Football teams. They also have NBA and an MLB teams in Milwaukee. This is also the oval that hosted the 2018 US Olympic Trials.

    Sure sounds like they only have themselves to blame tbh.

    Yes and no. Ebola doesn’t spread nearly as easily.

    The ICF has found Laurence Vincent-Lappinte did not commit a doping violation and has lifted her suspension effective immediately.

    I was on a domestic flight in Canada, the first thing anybody said when we touched down was that Kobe had just died. A bunch of us, complete strangers, started talking about him and reminiscing for a couple minutes. We lost an icon today.

    Hey now, you are talking about the only country to go undefeated at the 2010 world cup :P

    I think 16 is the only number that allows both a fair competition and a good TV product. I basically want the same format alpine snowboarding used before they went to this one run nonsense.

    Canadian cross country skiing has been on an incredible decline. Incredibly sad.
  22. NearPup
    They should really only allow 16 qualifiers and have a two run format. Basically the old city event format, but with two qualifying runs. I really hate the one run format in parallel races.
  23. NearPup
    If we're going to mess with regions I'd rather have SEA + Oceania as a region. Asia is already too crowded as a qualification region as is.
  24. NearPup
    is the 12th and last team to qualify. Very happy for the team, Beating at home was a big bit of redemption given what happened four years ago. This time qualifying doesn't feel like a fluke.
  25. NearPup
    The Venezuelan team better send a case of Cava to the Chilean team. Chile had nothing to play for (they were already eliminated no matter what happened today). Huge missed opportunity for Colombia to qualify for the very first time in Volleyball. It would have been a huge upset.
