    with the most Eurovision song this year. I love how ridiculous it is.

    Always a great sign when a dictator's kid wins an election.

    My guess is that a lot of countries will qualify in K1 and/or C1 but will instead send X1 specialists because they have better medal chances in those events. Which will make the C1, K1 and X1 fields all weaker than they should be.

    Wow the “extreme” kayak qualification system is a joke.
  5. NearPup
    In road races they award the same finish time to anyone that is within the same group.

    Plurality, not majority (27 our of 90 seats). Neither the Unionist nor the Republican side have a majority because the Alliance, which is neutral on the status of NI, did so well (17 seats, third largest party).

    Kind of topic, but why did this article spell his name wrong? It's Mélenchon, or Melenchon without the accent.

    FWIW Christa Deguchi confirmed in an interview w/ Radio-Canada that she’s committed through Paris 2024 at least. She mentions that she took a few months off training after failing to qualify for the Olympics but that her love for the sport has come back.

    It’s already no longer a core sport as things stand so… one could make a decent argument that as it stands it has already been removed from the Olympic program post Paris 2024.

    I wonder why that TV channel is posting fake news then (there is even a real example of Biden forgetting something important in the same event, just not the one they chose to show).
  11. NearPup
    The IOC are the ones forcing Modern Pentathlon to drop riding so…
  12. NearPup
    Why are you posting a clip from 2021 where Biden is talking about Tyree Brown's mom?
  13. NearPup
    Invite us to compete in Eurovision proper you cowards!
  14. NearPup
    The French centrist parties better get their shit together.

    Marine got the best ever score for her party, ~42%. But as everyone knew would happen Macron was re-elected.

    I'm never a fan of a round robin when only one competitor advances. I thought after wrestling moved away from that format we'd see the end of it, but now badminton (at the Olympics) and karate have adopted it. Bleh.

    There was also a cap in 2020, but it was 28 swimmers per gender.
  18. NearPup
    Good news everybody! Volleyball is now using three pools of four teams, top two plus two best third places qualify for the quarterfinals. This is the most urban, youthful and gender equal format.
  19. NearPup
    They managed to make the 3x3 qualification system even worse. Unbelievable.

    What is and isn’t considered political is, itself, a political question. There really isn’t such a thing as a “neutral” stand, and we all have our blind spots wrt how other people can view things very differently in good faith (for example I recoil pretty strongly to the notion that anything LGBT rights related is “political” in nature, but it’s also something that affects me fairly personally so of course I wouldn’t see it that way).

    Karate, the only combat sport where you can win by being knocked out xD I actually liked the kata event, but kumite was imo the worst event in the Tokyo Olympics.
  22. NearPup
    is my backup team so I would find this draw problematic :P I'm just excited that Canada will even be in the draw tbh, part of me would be really excited if Canada's group ended up being described as the "group of death". Unlikely, but it would be fun. Actually any group will be fun. It's the fucking world cup!
  23. NearPup
    It’s indeed really going to bother the French public that they posted images with English text on them.
  24. NearPup
    Not as amusing as Canada being the only nation to win men’s and women’s Olympic gold in football (just, please, don’t look too deeply into how we won gold in men’s football)
  25. NearPup
    It's over. I can't even compute this. My parents weren't even married yet the only time Canada had qualified for the World Cup. Every qualification cycle was just more disappointing than the last growing up. But now is going to the world cup, almost certainly as the top team in CONCACAF. I can't believe it.
