    I can bet (though it's guess only) that UIPM tries once more with the mixed relay.
     
    On the other hand - I guess fencing, tennis and badminton have no more events to be included. Adding to that all the team sports - basketball, football, volleyball, field hockey, handball, rugby - we've got eight. I don't count waterpolo as being under FINA it might mean changes in swimming and/or artistic swimming programme. Still, this means at least one of the team sports proposing changes. Beach handball, futsal or beach soccer and deleting basket 5x5 are all my first thought, hockey5s and rugby union rather not.
     
    OK, let's see the possibilities one by one:
    Aquatics - swimming and/or artistic swimming Athletics - it can be anything, I'm afraid Archery - compound (?) Badminton - nothing, I think Basketball - deleting 5x5 Boxing - weight changes again (#genderequality) Canoeing - any distance/boat size change Cycling - changes in track programme according to the new format, maybe some team road races Equestrian - hopefully driving, not unmeasurable vaulting and reigning or horse-harming endurance. Fencing - nothing more to be added, I think (although the team event known from YOG...) Field hockey - Hockey 5s possible, but not likely Football - beach soccer or futsal instead of U23 Golf - mixed relay? haha, just kidding (I hope) Gymnastics - team trampoline, men's rhytmic (#genderequality) Handball - beach handball Judo - weight changes Modern pentathlon - mixed relay - this time #yesplease Rowing - so many events to be in or out, including deleting of lightweight Rugby - union instead of sevens not likely due to reducing number of athletes Sailing - have there ever been two consecutive Olympics with the same classes? Shooting - team events, more mixed events... Gene Simmons from KISS, Alice Cooper's scenic shows and music video to Michael Jackson's "Thriller"  were alltogether less scary than what can be done here Table tennis - men's and women's doubles Taekwondo - weight changes Tennis - nothing, hopefully (separate tournament on clay and grass?) Triathlon - sprint distance as a second individual event - I'm in as there may be that "more events with the same athletes and infrastructure" Volleyball - nothing, I think Weightlifting - weight changes (again!) or... separate event for those who do not dope (only one as I think there's very few of them) Wrestling - beach wrestling, grappling, pankration... or simply deleting Greco-Roman (#genderequality)

    You take that back. His 2018 album is actually pretty solid. Not liking his 2019/20 direction so far, but you can't deny he is a very talented artist and producer.

    And Canada is the first domino to fall. I expect others will follow suit in the coming days, and the IOC will have no choice to postpone. Silver lining is that the IOC is yet again being exposed as the cowardly, corrupt bastards that they are.

    Can't blame IOC for being greedy. Olympics happens every two years, they have to cash in during that very small window. It's not soccer with gazillion games and competitions every month. Pro sports is money and all about the money. Pro sports is not about heath. Then again, IOC survived boycotted Games and the 1972 hostage crisis so Tokyo delay won't hurt them as much on the long run IMO.

    Cowardly, yes.  Corrupt?  Not necessarily because of this.
     
    Bach hasn't done the best job of expressing to the world the intentions of the IOC.  I think everyone involved knows that postponement is inevitable, but it takes time to get everyone on board to make sure that's followed through properly for all interested parties.  With all due respect to Canada, they're one nation out of 200+ (I will say the exact same thing about the United States who has also been chirping).  I think the back breaker was Seb Coe.  When he's saying to move to postpone the Olympics as head of the most prominent sports federation involved in the Games, that carries a lot of weight.

    Every day makes me fall in love with Trump more and more.   Hopefully in 2024 his son runs.   There really shouldn't be any other president in America that doesnt have the last name of Trump

    Here’s our first official episode of TWU (Totallympics Weekly Update): https://anchor.fm/twu/episodes/TWU-2-Ending-Out-The-Year-With-Our-Best-Episode-Yet-e9t9tj
     
    @Vojthas and myself really enjoyed this one, so please give it a listen whenever you get the chance (on your way to work, in morning, before bed, when you’re bored, when there aren’t enough sports on, etc.) 
     
    Again, we’d love any feedback you could give us. Also, any suggestions for what we should cover next week. Plus, any ideas for segments or episodes (or of you’d like to come on for an episode and talk with us about something).
     
    Lastly, @Vojthas, @Dragon, and I cannot thank you enough for supporting us this year. Admittedly, it’s been a rocky start. However, with your support we’ve been able to build up an awesome website, and a great audio service. I’d also give thanks to @OlympicIRL and @mrv86 for their early contributions to Totallympics Media (and your both welcome back anytime ). Some more thanks are in order to users like @heywoodu @dcro @ChandlerMne @ahjfcshfghb @intoronto @Wumo @zob79 @TomJa @bmo @ofan @Griff88 @JoshMartini007 (and anyone else who I just unfortunately forgot) who give us constant feedback, consist support, and our the main reason we’ve made it this far. Of course, the man himself, @Sindo was deserves a massive, massive thanks for helping us accomplish all of this; without his work, none of us would have meant, we would have never had our own website, and we’d never have had a place to belong. 2019, was a fantastic, maddening, awesome, thrilling, joyously crazy, and thrill ride of a year. For all of us at Totallympics Media: Thank You all for your support and passion. We hope you have a wonderful, blessed, and sport-filled 2020.

    You can think that. But remember, 50 years from now, no one will care what level the stock market was at under Trump. All he will ever be remembered for is that he was impeached.

    What a historic moment. Even though he will likely be acquitted in the senate, finally this serial criminal and despicable man is facing the consequences of a lifetime of breaking the law and putting himself before others. I only hope that Americans will be smart enough to remove this monster from office in November. 
     
    No matter how you try and spin it, Trump's legacy will forever be tarnished as he becomes one of just 3 presidents to ever be impeached. A very fitting legacy.

    For the record, I obviously don't dislike him either. I just don't think Trump supporters are worth discussing politics with, as they're too far gone of the deep end. That's why sports exist for friendlier debate instead

    Yeah, the truth being that he doesn't actually give a shit about Israel - it's purely for votes, as you mentioned. Look no further than his casual bigoted remarks a few days ago in front of the Israeli American Council that many saw as bigoted.

    It's a huge problem for the left-wingers Trump is the most Jewish-friendly president USA has ever had. You'd love to throw him under the racism bus however you can't because the Jewish people would grill you. And let's face it, getting the Jewish votes in USA is way more important than Muslims votes.
