The detailed procedure is described here under Section 4.

One only wonders if there will be any snow (just like for any other venue this Olympics).

I am okay with anything that fits the host.

This is how Tokyo looks for figure skating. Not a spare seat in the house! They destroyed the Olympics and got away with it....

Well, given the current situation, postponing the Grand Final would not be a bad idea at all. My main concern here is that a 'sudden' Grand Final may cause below average attendance.

I love how there is just a big picture of passionfruit on the link OlympicIRL shared above (at least on my phone).

Funny how after explicitly not wanting to be the 13th user to present a song... I end up being the 13th in the voting draw. TISC

Well, my list of numbers is completed. @Cinnamon Bun took the nations. And the results are......

Okay that seems easy enough. I assume it's 19:00 (GMT+2)?

I guess I could help, at least for the first hour or so.

Ideally, but nobody will insist you change it if it didn't comply.

Last month I visited Venice and except for the EU Covid Certificate, you also needed to fill out EUdplf (only pro forma, nobody actually asked us about it at any point). According to the Reopen Europa app, it looks like they are accepting certificates 'equivalent' to the EU Covid Certificate, which likely means that a proof of vaccine is enough too. And if not, 5-day self-isolation is warranted.

120 is awarded for a NA Cup win. For reference, our 2-man crew qualified for Pyeongchang while counting some 13th places from the NA Cup (60 pts).

Virtually guaranteed to qualify at that rate. Meanwhile, Croatian crew getting a DQ (most likely due to being overweight) is quite upsetting...

Or the draw. I'm afraid a postponement is inevitable at this point...

Klaus Schormann sounds like someone who, at the very least, shares the same nationality of Schleu... As MP is a tight-knit community, I wouldn't be surprised if their connection is/was much stronger than just that...

There are 650 pentathletes to be found?

Interesting to see Hendrickx leading in Italy after the short program. Severely underscored with just 73 pts. Any Russian skater would have been awarded 76-78 for the same performance. Medvedeva was always above 80 with literally the same elements.

Is the Grand Final still scheduled for next week?

While everyone else only has normal highlights, the ISU has emotional highlights.

And they are quoting PETA, including their fully unconfirmed statement about cycling lol... Never been impressed by ITG, but this is a new low.

^ Also these pollution rankings were compiled by some Swiss company specializing in air filtering. It's a clickbait world we live in.

Lots of drama here the past few days as Zagreb has been deemed by some to be the 2nd most polluted city in the World ! Only behind Karachi, and in front of any given megalopolis from !! * It turned out to be a hoax, of course. There are 3 air quality measuring stations in Zagreb, and apparently one of them (in a suburban area with minimum traffic!) was giving faulty and incredibly unrealistic readings, what brought the city average to these levels.

Interesting to read an input from one of the Tokyo 2020 dressage judges. The general consensus is that it comes down to pentathletes generally going through the motions when it comes to riding. This results in a general lack of understanding of the sport. Doesn't help that lousy riders can get away with it at these heights, by drawing a lucky, ultra-genuine horse. I think the worst part in all of this is that, with this decision, the UIPM is pretty much taking the side of the German coach after all...
