Back to the Paris Olympics for this one. Eleni-Klaoudia Polak got sent home from Paris for a positive dope test. Ok, the Greek never reached the final of the pole vault so getting sent home wasn't a big punishment. Then we learnt that the test on July 29 was thrown out because she had a legitimate medical use for the drug. Now we find out that she also tested positive earlier in July and gets banned for 4 years.

Hockey player Imran Sherwani died today aged just 57 after developing Alzheimer's disease very young. Most famous for scoring two goals for GBR in the 1988 Olympic Final and inspiring one of the great lines in commentary with GB's third goal.

Olympedia update. The IOC did pull out of the deal because of "budget reasons" but we compromised by accepting less money and just updating 2024 and not Milan-Cortina for the time being. The result is that the contract was signed this week and we just need to transfer our private data to Olympedia and then it will be back up to date. Unfortunately not all our members were happy with the IOC's behavior and some may leave us because of this.

(as Dutch East Indies) qualified in 1938, 13 years before it became a member of the IOC and when it was still part of the Dutch Empire Admittedly they qualified because of walkover wins over Japan and the USA.

Or possibly not... The IOC may pull out of the deal because of budget reasons

I did say Grok went a bit mad...

I asked Grok AI to "predict the medal table for the 2028 Olympic Games". I think it went a bit mad...

Frankly, if you have Dennis Mitchell as a coach, then people can assume this...

Happy there seem to be reserve days for the medal matches.

Seems to have been missed out from the version I saw and added later

Am I missing something? I can't see a women's 100m final on https://drive.google.com/file/d/100yGpndypOTBi9m1lmB6w1CeHfaBW8uk/view ?
