What about non-IOC members like Macao and Faroe Islands?

I believe it's made by an Association of Summer Olympic sports federations... It's rather self explanatory.

Also, what about allowing @OlympicIRL to take part? Now we have everything figured out, and aside from knowing who represents which nation, there does not seem to be much difference in his role (as long as he casts his votes before everyone else). Alternatively, maybe @OlympicIRL can abstain from voting, but still be allowed to put forward his entry?

AIBA is not included though (neither is any Winter federation).

Any plans as to when the registration period will commence? July 1st, perhaps? Following the registration period, there will be some time needed to form the groups, inform users on their match assignments and wait for the deliberation before their tournament starts.

Yeah, I can't find individual scores anywhere. I guess it's to avoid backlash or something. I'm curious to know which two federations are so low on thie chart.

Olympic Sports Federations ranked. FINA on the rock bottom sounds about right. https://www.asoif.com/sites/default/files/download/asoif_third_review_of_if_governance_fv-0616.pdf

You would be able to defeat Mo Farah on 400 m with that kind of form.

You didn't write us your all-around score (and ranking).

Well, pretty sure those NZ, Montenegro and Iceland cases are just imports. Nothing to worry about that much. Places like North Macedonia, Albania and China now are no longer limited to imported-only cases though.

Welp, I am actually interested to see the new Perry Mason, coming up soon.

I wonder what's his connection with the youth event rider Zsofia Habsburg-Lothringen.

I don't quite get this. You did complete a half-marathon.

I thought you were rather suburban?

How on earth did Nelli Kim share gold with that sloppy performance? All tumbling passes had their issues, but the last one was a disaster. I guess biased judging was probably off the charts in Moscow.

ICF updated their qualification table. https://www.canoeicf.com/sites/default/files/canoe_sprint_quota_allocation_-_tokyo_2020_-_media_format.pdf The only difference is that Samoa got the place in MK1 200 and Cook Islands got it in MK1 1000 (rather than the other way around). Not sure how this worked, but it doesn't really make any difference, as their athletes will likely decide to start in both K1 events anyway.

Just going through some of Thomas Bach's results... Apparently he was pretty much the clutch performer on the 1976 German foil team. Especially during the semifinal stage against the Soviet Union!

This convinced me. Now I plan to watch it.

We also need prompts for Frankenstein/Dracula/Black Panther, explaining it's not a realistic depiction of Germany/Romania/Africa.

Wow. That woman probably can't name 10 Olympic sports. Just wow.

Yeah, things may be a little different where you come from (although I doubt it), but here in Europe statues mostly get visited by tourists, and of course they are there to learn about history rather than pay respects.

Unfortunately, it's not how the mainstream media works. Good vs evil sells, while the notion of people having multiple sides to them usually gets left behind. Just like nobody is all-good, no person is all-bad either.

Well, romanticized or not, people still had more liberal views towards slavery back then. If anything, it was a part of their economy, so it was a part of history. Although, speaking of GWTW, I wouldn't say that picture is really about the slavery. It's set against such backdrop, but mainly it is about a love story with a touch of woman against the world theme. Another way of rewriting history is making period pieces in which the characters have modern values and behave as if they travelled through time. Modern Hollywood sure does love that.

But it is a denial. It's a denial on how the South looked in the 1860s.

Great victory for censorship today, as HBO removed Gone with the Wind from their library. How does this work exactly? Denial of the Holocaust is punishable by law in some places, while denial of the slavery is... encouraged? I guess we should just pick-and-choose things we do like and remove stuff we don't. We can all live in our own private little fairytales! That's basically the message these HBO minds are sending.
