    Kristi Coventry is the 10th IOC president.
  2. NearPup
    I think Samaranch Jr, Coe and Coventry are the top three contenders in that order.
  3. NearPup
    Reluctently rooting for Coventry, with no great enthusiasm and purely because I dislike the other options more.

    Presumably every country will be leaving the IBA and joining World Boxing in the next few months.

    This is a really common (mis?)translation from South Koreans. You see it *all the time* when people are talking about Taekwondo.

    Homan has an eye infection, I wonder if that's affecting her.
  7. NearPup
    So like when the fuck is the IOC announcing the event program for LA? Has to be soon given they want federations to start drafting their qualification systems in April.

    Erin Brooks has qualified for the SF in the world tour stop in , beating defending world champion Simmers in the quarterfinals.
  9. NearPup
    Not a fan of Olympic boxing, but willing to give World Boxing a chance to clean up this mess.

    With only one race left to go next week, the men are now ahead of by 196 points thanks to strong results (along with weak results from ) in the mixed and mixed singles relays today.

    Harris laughes weird. We dodged a huge bullet here, imagine if we had her as president. We'd be stuck with economic and political stability.

    Absolutely dominant win for Weston.

    Jesse Eisenberg has just aquired Polish citizenship.

    Was very surprised to see gold medals for and until I remembered there are a few para sport events included this year. So I guess technically this counts as the first ever gold medal for South America in a winter sport world championship?

    I could have gone with one or two less Oscars for Anora, but in a season without a clear front runner I'm more than okay with it winning best picture.
  16. NearPup
    Pretty good night for Anora
  17. NearPup
    I am so, so relieved that I'm Still Here, one of the best film of the year, has beaten Emilia Pérez, a movie that has already won two Oscars more than it desereved.
  18. NearPup
    Jacques Audiard winning an Oscar for Emilia Pérez (even though it's "just" in best song) is very hard to stomach. He did not deserve to be rewarded for a movie that was offensive and, even worse than that, boring.
  19. NearPup
    I was already expecting Anora to win best picture going in, but at this point giving the editing win it's hard to see how anyone else wins.
  20. NearPup
    Worth mentioning that Flow is the first ever Oscar win for a Latvian film!

    My ranking of best picture nominees: I’m Still Here Dune Part 2 Anora Wicked The Substance The Brutalist Conclave A Complete Unknown Nickel Boys Emilia Pérez Of those I loved 1 through 5, I liked 6 through 8, I respected (but didn't like) 9 and I have nothing good to say about 10.
  22. NearPup
    Well ya. It’s just very common that some countries have their best athlete in a sport other than alpine skiing or cross country skiing, but they aren’t ranked very high while still being at the level to compete at the World Cup or World Championship level.
  23. NearPup
    The IOC should relly should implement a pool of tripartite places to hand out to otherwise unqualified countries (in sports other than alpine and cross country skiing)
  24. NearPup
    The IOC is provisionally recognizing World Boxing: https://apnews.com/article/ioc-world-boxing-iba-2028-olympics-2c492c3388b77cabaf8d38dcefc1a6b0

    Definitively the best possible outcome from a sporting standpoint. No disrespect to Spain or South Africa but neither are baseball nations, unlike Taiwan and especially Nicaragua.
