Oh ya. Forget impeachment and removal, Yoon should be in jail.

So… second coup attempt this week in South Korea, apparently. President Yoon is basically guaranteed to be impeached and removed from office unless the military intervenes.

I’m honestly not sure. I’m assuming not either since it’s being played under NHL rules.

First Best-on-Best International tournament since 2016… it deserves it’s own thread.

Really no sport where the world record means less. Don't they record the athlete's bodyweight before every competition? One would think it would be trivial to re-create the world record for each new weight class retroactively.

Figure skating

Not surprising at this point (both because there hasn't been any noise that they were back in training and because of friction between them), but Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron have officially retired.

That's a really, really old rule in FIS Big Air - the two counting jumps must be of a different direction (depending on the competition, either clockwise / counterclockwise or having every variation of forward/switch or goofy/regular and clockwise/anticlockwise/straight count as a unique direction). That is what the A, B and sometimes C on the result list refer to - not which direction (sadly that's not listed), but whether the jump is a repeated direction or not.

Shoulda stayed in Lake Louise

I am going to use this as evidence for my belief that the only way for baseball to continue growing is to increase the importance of International tournaments. Because shocassing stars in those environments is how the MLB can grow their viewership abroad.

This was announced a few years ago. Sprint will be classical and team sprint will be freestyle.

I think the biggest problem for Australian football is how big the roster size is. Rugby League Nines might be a more realistic "out there" selection.

Also, guys, Timothy Loubineaud won a race. This isn’t a joke. (a very messy mass start from a breakaway, but it counts!)

Massive upset - the mass start has been the best event this week. First win for since… when?

Ya but the replacement is Pat Bondi, a choice that is only better in so far as Pat Bondi isn't credibly accused of having had sex with multiple underaged girls. Also, you might recognize this name: Pete Hoekstra has been nominated to be the US ambasador to Canada.

This is now a *fourth* BJK Cup for Errani.

Using the nations league for playoff qualification is such a bad idea.

It's always so much fun when a breakaway actually works in the mass start. Also, notable that Stolz actually won four gold medals - he also competed in the team pursuit.

In what must be one of the great miracles of the entire season, the men's mass start in the 4c's was... entertaining :O

Jordan Stolz is still looking pretty, pretty good

He says that vaccines causes autism, but joke’s on him, I’m already autistic so I can be get as many vaccines as I want!

And now we get to see if RFK Jr do to America what he already did to Samoa.

Is anyone arguing that this wasn't nepotism? xD The fact that RFK ended up being a great AG is really one of the great happy accidents of history, but he wasn't qualified for the role and it was so egregious Congress passed a law to prevent a nomination like that from happening again.

I predict "Not Like Us" is going to be a very popular song over the next four years

Nah, cheaper and more practical to move to Antarctica.
