Fastest Kilimanjaro ascent and descent

It would be nice to quote, as you refering to my post. Nonsense is a statement that is one of the core motivations in organising Olympic games? Statement that was said million times before, by almost every major sport offficial? With all due respect, i suggest you to read more about IOC history. Every sport fan knows that sport is often a vehicle for other targets, not just East Germany or USSR but also USA, China or any other big country used and still uses sport to manifest geopolitical domination or something else. So what? Can IOC stop that? It could. But will they? Surely not. Russia should be banned cause they use doping as normal policy. But not because someone doesnt like it as a country. For the last part, banning because someone violates human rights... Indeed morally correct but you know that almost every western country could be banned for that same reason? Saudi Arabia still decapitates people for petty crimes but its ok for western world cause they are USA ally. Same goes for at least 100 countries. Women rights are still non existent in many countries. We should ban them too? LGBT rights are another topic. What about those countries? So your POV isnt quite clear, with all due respect. USA should be permanently banned from Olympics just because they destroyed few dozens countries but why would athletes suffer, like i already said...

Actually, this is a question of ethics, and i dont think that ethics is something important both for Russia and western states, no matter what they claim. To emphasise, i dont refer to ordinary people but to heads of states. Banning everything related to Russia is usual thing nowadays but its completelly useless. What has changed for the last 300 days? Did Russia changed its policy? Why these ordinary athletes have to suffer because Putin decided to do this unnecessary agression? Because people are sensitive when they see a flag? My country was banned in 1992. So i personally remember all that. And believe me, that decision was pointless on so many levels. Germany and Austria killed millions of Serbs in the both WW. Should i blame ordinary people cause of that? To cut the story short, i am against any sport bans. Sport should connect people.

Political problems will be resolved by banning one country or another? Sure...

Happy and prosperous 2023 to all of you.

Good to know whole story. Sadly, i cant find matches from 2022 senior WCH on YT, like i always did, they are just absent from YT.

IIHF stopped uploading full games on YT and started using Vimeo. Dont know any other federation that dont use YT as a primary choice

From orthodox Christian, i wish all Totallympic users best wishes for the Christmas, peace, health and happiness.

So happy that i saw Messi lifting the Godess! So much passion! So much virtuosity!

Should have guessed. Same guy who had an idea to have a winter WC, with 5 subs, female referees and so on. I am a conservative, changing established formats isnt my cup of tee but this is beyond my wildest dreams. I mean, 3 teams per group, just hillarious.

Even worse! What were they thinking? Who came up with the idea? Your countryman?

Next WC with 48 teams, or 20% of world countries. I mean really... We will have 8 groups with 6 teams (i think)... Why did they have to change this format???

Good 2nd half but i still think that France is favorite.

England scored 2 goals while almost being worse opponent... Maguirre was pathetic as usual. But well done, even though France wont give them single opportunity with game like this.

Very nice transition from technicall to speed events of Brathen and McGrath, 7th and 5th, respectivelly.

Robert did it

Poland missed all 3 penalties on WC, lets see now

What a scissors by Milik

Thiy guy is astonishing, he participated at 7 goals

Mbappe

What a beauty

Poland must open now, so a chance for speedsters like Mbape to spice it up.

What a goal. Giroud at the top

Wow, Poland, pleasant surprise
