The Iranian government don't really want to be killed but they have no objection to having Houthi Yemenis get blown up in their place.

IOC Press Release 11th September 2024 The IOC is pleased to announce the addition of the exciting new winter sport of Lugeage (prounounced Lugg-age) to the 2030 Winter Olympics being held in the French Alps. The sport which combines luge and dressage has a cult following in Germany and its alpine neighbours. Horses and riders judged on speed, technique, artistic impression and survival. In a statement, 1976 Olympic Team Fencing champion and current Weltsportfuhrer Thomas Bach said "It's a mix of balletic precision and high speed action and the only extra expense we expect is the hiring of extra race marshalls with very large shovels if the horses get too excited". When asked if the sport could be considered dangerous if the sleds went out of control, Bach commented "Don't you think we thought of that before adding it to the programme?" In unconnected news Thomas Bach is to join the board of the popular Belgian fast food chain, Kortrijk Fried Pony when he steps down from the IOC next years

I'll explain what happened. In 2016 the IOC bought our data and asked us to continue updating it for a yearly fee. At the end of 2023 they decided to end this contract because they wanted to pay the same money to fewer to us. We refused because it was unfair that some of us would not get paid. Since then (1 January 2024) the job of updating Olympedia relies completely on the IOC. It has not been successful.

I would still have a problem with Sinner's team being reckless and stupid enough to use anything with Clostebol as an ingredient. They should be much better than that.

Italy is probably the strictest nation on the planet when it comes to doping.

If cricket is limited to 6 men's and 6 women's teams then both teams might struggle to get a host nation quota. Especially the women's team.

Personally the only time I've ever insulted someone on twitter was some moron who insisted the death of Tori Bowie, the US athlete, was linked to her being vaccinated against covid. I don't regret that either.
