    Why do judges hate Ayumu so much? He reasonably could have three Olympic golds at this point (him not winning in 2014 and 2018 was defensible, but there was an argument for him to win both times), and he almost got robbed in Beijing.

    Also good to see Ireland given the… controversial way in which y’all missed out on 2020. (We’re not sorry about it tho :P )
  3. NearPup
    Sounds like this race should have been postponed or cancelled…

    Real setback for I do think it’s worth highlighting that this is now Japan’s sixth qualification in a row, which is quite impressive given they aren’t really a traditional power in hockey.

    He's obviously been dealing with some bad stuff, either medically or personally or both. His dad also had some legal issues (convicted of having sex with a minor). We don't know what happened but whatever it can't have been good :/

    2015 men’s pole vault champion Shawnacy Barber has died at the age of 29 from unspecified medical issues.

    Or maybe the IOC could be a little less militant about the athlete quota overall and cut costs elsewhere.

    The tiny team sizes in team sports are just so infuriating.

    Not that Canada is any better in Bandy. (I’d argue Lacrosse is closer to “ice hockey on a field” than field hockey, esp the Olympic format, and ofc Bandy is almost literally Field Hockey on ice).

    @hckošice is gonna win the last gold medal in Modern Pentathlon with show jumping xD
  11. NearPup
    That’s nonsense. Golf is still in the Olympics, and we all know Bratislava produces the greatest golfers.

    Yes. https://olympics.com/ioc/news/milano-cortina-2026-new-competition-event-formats

    Those two North American stops are *really* in the middle of nowhere xD

    @Joshthe alpine combined is now a team event (one speed specialist, one slalom skier).

    Pretty sure Puig got more recognition at home for winning Olympic gold than she would have gotten for winning a slam :P

    Very interesting that she seems to have gotten citizenship through a court ruling unrelated to her and not because the federal government made a special exception for her. Either way, very happy she gets to compete for Canada. I obviously have a special soft spot for athletes, especially when they compete for Canada.

    I actually have a friend in a similar situation (he would have been a Canadian citizen if his parents applied for it before he was 18) who hopes to immigrate some day.

    You mean in general, or in Handball specifically?

    I like team events :P The only team events in the winter Olympics where there is truly teamwork involves (excluding curling and hockey) are the short track relays and the team pursuit in speed skating, everything else is essentially just adding up times or scores.

    I really dislike the way they try to emulate the reaction start they have in luge. The reason it works so well in luge is because the race is fluid. Still happy there is a team event in skeleton, it just can’t really measure up to the team event in luge. I think the format would work better if they just made it a two heat race with one gender per heat and the second heat going from slowest to fastest.

    Wishing them well!

    Random, but I did think one really good thing about the Tokyo Olympics was the bigger team sizes. Some sports (Soccer especially) have precariously small roster sizes. It's especially weird because alternates travel anyway, I don't think there is anything wrong putting them on the roster and letting them play as needed (make teams bear the expenses for those extra players for all I care).

    Someone wants to be the next Eric Heiden.
  24. NearPup
    Once again, the IOC will do *literally anything* to not host long track outdoors.
  25. NearPup
    This is extremely dissapointing.
