  1. Interesting to see Igor Marenić making the switch to Nacra 17. Of course you expect a lot from the Olympic champion (470), but this is his first (bigger) regatta in this class, so a qualification would be astonishing...
  2. Have seen 4/8 Best Picture nominees so far. My rankings are as follows... Sound of Metal Promising Young Woman Mank The Trial of the Chicago 7 PYW notably went above my expectations, while the bottom two are just not worth it...
  3. It's official. A fake Eurovision song, entered for TISC, is now also nominated for the Oscars.
  4. Given how unusual it is and that it involves two different federations, it seems like a fair assumption...
  5. This is quickly turning into a dumpster fire... Just for some perspective, we were already at a point where our NOC simply stopped (!) sending athletes to qualification events (table tennis, wrestling). And now, after losing a seemingly safe qualification, I can't even imagine what will the consequences be.
  6. Come on. Who wrote the script? Is there a rule about Croatian teams being able to qualify only through dramatic finishes? Portugal was leading 16:10 last time I checked before entering the movie theater, and surprise surprise, the comeback apparently started right then. Nothing is safe though. Tunisia will be by no means a walk-over, especially since they are not out of it themselves. France, too, has an option of eliminating Croatia on purpose...
  7. Losing to Portugal at least feels better than losing to some establishment like Sweden or Germany. But damn... This is a catastrophe. Let's just say our NOC would probably breathe a sigh of relief should the Olympics get cancelled.
  8. Yeah, I'm sure Friday being a work day has nothing to do with it.
  9. For Tokyo they specifically changed the rules to allow up to two boats per nation.
  10. Yeah, this is not going to end well... A loss was the expected outcome, nevertheless those last 15 minutes were inexcusible and could leave a scar for tomorrow. Mind you, our team has a tendency of dropping a level when facing lower ranked teams, like Portugal and Tunisia, for example...
  11. South Africa was already long expelled at that time (since 1964).
  12. 31st place it is... Di Silvestris better get ready for the next Olympics. They can qualify an entire dynasty based on funds alone.
  13. Cancellation of all European events has been extended to April 11, at the earliest, due to the Equine Herpes Virus (EHV-1, neurological form) outbreak. The outbreak is getting out of hand with more and more stables reporting positives despite not having obvious contacts... Basically, everyone still chasing minimum requirements for the Olympics is screwed. https://inside.fei.org/content/fei-extends-shutdown-international-events-mainland-europe-due-ehv-1-outbreak-0
  14. Finals cancelled. For the second year running. Sigh. And not due to the COVID-19 pandemic, mind you. It is due to the EHV-1 outbreak.
  15. Finland selects Henri Ruoste & Kontestro for dressage. https://www.eurodressage.com/2021/03/11/henri-ruoste-selected-represent-finland-2021-olympic-games
  16. Fun fact, The Weekend is already a TISC veteran. 2017 Annual, 31st place with 29 points. 11 of those points came from Croatia.
  17. And confirmed. I may have hacked since it says the entry list is scheduled to be released tomorrow (March 11). https://inside.fei.org/system/files/Final List Athletes Göteborg SWE.pdf
