    Bar billiards used to be big, but it's literally decades since I saw a table in working order. Pool replaced it.

    Just incredible! Sports Personality of the Year? Not enough! Bring back the Monarchy and make her Queen!

    They can add sports but not take them away.

    Pretty sure that a bridge has been a Mountain in the Men’s TdF before….maybe the one over the Seine in Normandy?

    Is honeycombed with tunnels containing Nazi gold, long-lost Vermeers & The Spear of Destiny, everyone knows that.

    British-based Canadian ice hockey commentator, can’t remember his name.

    I must say I really dislike the idea of an ever-changing Olympic line-up. It gives way too much power to the corrupt & incompetent IOC to mess about with the fundamentals of the individual sports. Look how they’ve ruined modern pentathlon, put men in women’s boxing & buggered up all the sailing classes. Just let the sports govern themselves & let the IOC stick to handing out the medals.

    Still pretty much in catch-up mode Women's Tour de France Blink Biathlon Festival
  10. Grassmarket
    Yeah, watching it I did think that a lot of good athletes had just given up. No money in it. Unlike biathlon & cross country where all the big names are still active.

    Wonder if there’s a bit of a rethink. Polish athletes famous for doing everything every year, maybe need to be a bit more selective.

    Hmm standards not high in the first event. Women’s Shot was famously dominated by back in the early days, but here only one athlete over 17m, and that only good enough for 6th or 7th in Paris.

    You will remember, we were threatened with a duathlon instead of a triathlon in Paris. Of course, the Duathlon is an event in its own right & this weekend sees the World Championships, taking place during the brutal winter, where everyone is at least safe from sharks & crocs, but not from snakes & spiders.

    This weekend we have the (incorporating ) Championships from Yekatarinburg (where the Commies murdered the Tsar & his family.). Just like in the old Cold War days, will be interesting to compare times & distances. But unlike the old days, there will be no Zurich for both sides to finally meet.

    Apparently baseball in Japan was popular as early as the 20s.

    Just a bump for this: provisional entry lists now being populated. Qualification for Tokyo Worlds 2025 started before Paris, so a first chance to those who weren’t in fast races in Paris to get a mark set in a paced race.

    After the great triumph of Breakdancing at the Olympics, proper, civilised ballroom dancing this weekend! 2024 WDSF DanceSport GrandSlam Standard & Latin - Stuttgart, Germany (olympics.com)

    If your thirst for 3x3 is not slaked, we have a tournament at Lausanne this weekend. 2024 FIBA 3x3 Basketball World Tour - Lausanne, Switzerland (olympics.com)

    We are getting back to normal! First up, an eastern German throws meet tomorrow. https://www.mdr.de/tv/programm/mdrplus-sendung-9036.html

    Bit of thread archaelogy for next week in Lausanne, here’s the timetable. https://lausanne.diamondleague.com/en/programme-results-lausanne/

    You’ll be needed a race walk.

    Was looking for this, eventually found it. We also missed the annual Blink Festival of roller-skiing from Norway! Michel Henschel / Biathlon Channel - YouTube

    Another win for a young rider - Thomas Gloag gets a medium hilly win on Stage 3 of the Tour!

    Pretty sure it will be on the World Athletics website as a default, and some nations might have their own versions.
  25. Grassmarket
    Yeah, but do you think Jeremiah Azu feels better about his solo 100m performance than one of the other Olympians who came fourth? I don’t really buy into this whole “elite sport as a self-esteem” exercise. There are far cheaper & less public ways to feeling good about yourself.
