  1. Statement from the IOC: https://www.olympics.com/ioc/news/ioc-eb-takes-measures-to-protect-access-for-all-athletes-to-countries-hosting-international-competitions
  2. Yup, despite living in Seattle now :P
  3. The 2031 women's FIFA World Cup, previously awarded to , will now be co-hosted by
  4. I wonder if there was an element of trying out new strategies and also of becoming less predicatble (since traditionally the Canadian men frontrun the relays).
  5. One day you’ll be right about one of these
  6. The IOC is "expressing concerns". https://www.olympics.com/ioc/news/ioc-statement-on-the-rejection-of-visas-for-the-israeli-delegation-for-the-upcoming-artistic-gymnastics-world-championships-by-the-government-of-indonesia
  7. Listen I'll bet you the price of a roundtrip from Seattle to Birmingham (England, not Alabama) that I can gallivant about there for an entire month without any issue. Everyone is becoming way too soft.
  8. "The Holocaust didn't happen, but it would have been super cool if it did"
  9. World's richest hooligans
  10. That does worry me quite a bit. Trump is completly mercurial so no way to really know what kind of mood he'll be in then (or if he's even still cognizant enough to make decisions by then).
  11. In an incredible show of efficiency, the 2026 FIFA World Cup matches scheduled for Boston have already been moved more than 30km away from the city! Trump is the most effective president ever! (For anyone who doesn't get the joke, Gillette Stadium, where the "Boston" World Cup matches are scheduled to be played, is famously not anywhere near Boston)
  12. This is basically in line with my thinking on this. On the one hand, this sets a really bad precedent, and it isn't acceptable for an entire country's delegation to be denied visas for a world championship. On the other hand, Israel is real lucky they haven't been banned or made "neutral" by any IF in the past two years.
  13. Matches against the last ranked team don't count due to withdrawing.
  14. Jamie Korab, a 2006 Olympic gold medalist in curling, has been elected as an MHA (member of the provincial lower house) in Newfoundland & Labrador for the Liberal party.
  15. Are we sure Trump knows the difference between India and Indonesia? That could be quite funny indeed.
  16. You aren't proud to be an Ice Maple fan?
  17. It is indeed a problem more widely in world sports, and it bothers me in those situations too.
  18. That seems like a you problem, I hold two different passports that don't require a visa for the next three world cups (including the "centennial matches").
  19. qualifying for the Olympics would be very funny, not just because the entire team is that got citizenship through ancestry but also because their lead is a sex toy webstore millionaire who started curling a few years ago with the explicit goal of qualifying for the Olympics. And the thing is they are, actually, quite good and taking it very seriously. Edit: lol, the sex toy guy is now the alternate, they found a new lead who's
  20. I'm not opposed to International federations banning Israel (though *now*, of all times over the past couple years, seems a little suspect), but host countries absolutely should not get to pick and chose which countries get to compete in events they host.
  21. For people in countries with no broadcaster (like ) it's also on the ISU's YouTube channel.
  22. Likelier than not that Algeria doesn’t play a single match in Mexico :P
  23. Bro this is literally a stadium where they play collegial sports xD
  24. Which is extremely embarrassing. Just a pure waste of money to try to get a little bit of good PR. That’s not something a well governed country would ever do.
