    ahjfcshfghb got a reaction from Makedonas in Summer Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028 Sports Programme   
    I think these are all very exciting choices. With cricket and football, it’s the first time the top 10 most viewed global sports will all be at the Olympics (in some form). It’ll be unprecedented. And removing breakdancing was the right call.
     
    I can’t help but think about how confusing cricket will be to everyone in the Czech Republic 😋 I don’t even know the rules myself…
     
    I don’t like that we are getting even more discount spin-off versions of popular sports (lacrosse 6s, flag football). Hurts the prestige of the Games IMO especially since they are barely developed at a high level

    Ah too bad, so Bruna missing a year of competition already automatically makes those two events an impossibility. Oh well, considering expenses are paid by the federation only for the two qualifying races (and so staying for the team sprint of Sunday would already be expensive because we have to pay that ourselves), I don't think she'd do the 10k anyway, let alone the races even later in the program if it was even possible
  3. Thanks

    A certain amount of points is only necessary for the Skiathlon and Mass Start. Top 10 is enough for the individual.
    Good luck!

    ahjfcshfghb reacted to hckošice in Winter Olympic Games Milano-Cortina 2026 News   
    From usually well infromed sources the different national hockey federations were already informed about the Men tournament qualification format for Milano/Cortina 2026.
     
    Same format will be played as the Vancouver, Sochi, PyeongChang and Beijing tournaments.
     
    12 teams tournament, 8 qualified directly via IIHF ranking after next year 2023 World Championships, 1 automatical host quota for Bella Italia and 3 will advance from 4 rounds qualification Tournaments, with 9th, 10th and 11th ranked IIHF 2023 country hosting the final qualification tournaments.
     
    The final IIHF world ranking will be counted the usual way:
     
     
    Last 4 WChs and last Olympic Tournament will be counted,
     
    with the 2023 WCh having 100% counts, 2022 WCh 75%, WCh 2021 50% and WCh 2020 (since was not played due pandemic the 2019 will be used instead) 25%  and The last Olympics have 100% counting value.  
    So basically the qualifying ranking right now for Milano looks so
     
    Rank NOC WCh 2023 WCh 2022 WOG 2022 WCh 2021 WCh 2020(19) Total 1.     1200 1160 1120 1760 2.     1160 1060 1160 1690 3.     1040 1200 1200 1680 4.     1060 1120 1040 1615 5.     1120 1000 960 1580 6.     1100 960 1100 1580 7.     1000 1040 1000 1520 8.     940 1100 1020 1510                 9.     960 1020 1060 1495 10.     1020 900 900 1440 11.     920 920 940 1385                 12.     880 880 920 1330

    I don't think I'll be watching these Games any more. Not that they aren't fun, but it's obvious from the Opening Ceremony and today's short track that they're all about making a genocidal regime look good + pulling whatever strings possible to get them medals.
     
    There are just better things to do with my time than supporting that. Especially since I'm a child of refugees from Communism, got to have some self-respect  Bye for now.

    ahjfcshfghb reacted to dcro in Who tested positive and is, or might be, out of the Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022?   
    Zero-COVID policy (especially the part with hyper sensitive tests and inconclusive results) makes absolutely no sense. I mean, it did make sense two years ago when nobody knew what COVID was, how to control it, etc, but right now it makes no sense since it is not going away. Why not control every other transmisable disease like this then?
     
    Apparently Xi's invention of zero-COVID policy faces scrutiny in the communist party too, but without his approval nothing will change. But we all know what having giant ego can do. Leaving millions at indefinite house arrest is so much easier.

    So, bit of an update:
     
    Bruna had surgery on both her left arm and left foot today, which took roughly 2,5 hours. Apart from a minor complication regarding her CO2 levels, which they got under control, it seems as though it all went well. Most likely she will be allowed to leave on Wednesday, which probably means she'll be transported home and arrive here on Thursday somewhere at the end of the day. Someone from the Brazilian federation will be with her from tomorrow on and probably travel in the ambulance transport with her as well, something we are very grateful for (due to a quarantaine situation at home, we simply can't go there at the moment).
     
    Once she is here, the long, long road to recovery will start. That's probably going to be a matter of months, at least, but yeah...we've got time.

    As a person who has experiences quite enough in journalist world ..... Just wonder why to release such a article.  I know there might be some ppl doubting this issue in the world but releasing such kind of article is kinda what they want .... https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202201/29/WS61f52f96a310cdd39bc842e8.html
     
    As for me, we can already see some athletes, personnel and other people who tested positive after arriving to Beijing but there has been silence about Chinese athletes so far ..... I don't want to offend of our Chinese members here in totallympics or anywhere else ..... But what if a Chinese athlete or team member gets covid positive? Will it be released into the world of media or social media? Can everybody be sure that Chinese authorities will not just try to cover the positive covid test result and let the athlete compete because he/she is a medal contestant? Me, after living in China for almost 7 years, I have always been hoping for the good changes. And as I see some pre-Olympic feedback from athletes and others, it looks good. I just truly hope everything will stay FAIR PLAY from the Chinese side. Because I honestly wish them to organize successful Olympics in fair play spirit without any cover ups..... Nobody is interested in second Sochi and their "sample swapping game" .... So I truly hope for their fair play Games by all means. Because this is the only way, how they can earn more respect from the entire world.

    She isn't really able to answer anything here since she can only use one hand for now. Fine for voice messages, not so much for typing. But she asked me to write here that she had a quick look and is very very grateful for all the wishes and messages here! So, thank you all on Bruna's behalf!

    I am still completely in shock and devastated by what happened to you both today, my friend. I really wish that this enormous pain and trauma will disappear as soon as possible and that Bruna will recover quickly and return as soon as possible to the normal life. The next Olympics will already be in four years, it will move fast, you will see, and hopefully it will be finally also without that covid, so I wish you so much that Bruna will be able to fulfill her Olympic dream in Cortina and that you buddy will be there as well to encourage and celebrate it with her.
     
    We are all with you @brunamoura Sending a lot of strength

    Long story short: she was on the way from Austria (where she had been in quarantine until today) to Munich, to get tested three times there in the coming five days, starting today. Somewhere along the Austrian/Italian border (Vintl), the transfer we had booked for her (a minivan, her as only passenger) had an accident, a bad one, one might say. Sadly the driver didn't make it, and considering they hit a truck head-on, Bruna sitting in the back (to keep some distance) quite simply saved her life. Transported to the hospital by helicopter.
     
    Broken arm, two broken feet and an unknown number of broken ribs seems to be the damage. Which, considering the gravity of the accident, is barely short of a miracle.
     
    As for me, I'm at home in the Netherlands, which is where we are trying to get her as soon as possible (when medically allowed, of course). It has been a long day of back and forth contact with insurance and Brazilian federation and everything to see what can be done. But, again, the main thing is she's still with us.
