Alaphilippe wins Milan-Sanremo... Cringeworthy tactics from Sagan.

So either @Olympian1010 made a lucky guess, or he indeed has been @heywoodu's alter ego all along...

USEF Network is offering complete coverage of Kentucky Horse Trials (1998-2019). https://www.usef.org/network

Hope Solo gave birth to twins.

Brief interview with Anne-Sophie Serre... For those who don't remember, Anne-Sophie Serre was one of the riders who qualified the French dressage team through rankings, while Raphael Saleh was the judge who made sure that France would qualify by any means necessary. I guess you have to be either briliantly stupid or incredibly confident to admit this in an interview just a couple of months after. Probably the latter one since nobody will give a damn.

So somehow I stumbled onto this again... It really is a masterpiece.

Apparently Nicaragua and Burundi are going on as well, but I wouldn't get my hopes up for streaming.

They will go forward today, but after that it's postponed at least through May 10.

Aaand say goodbye to Tajik football.

There are many little things that pretty much confirm it though. From satellite images, to China confirming some suspicions (which is huge in this case), and stuff like Kim Jong-un missing from Kim Il-sung birthday celebrations...

Apparently the satellite images are confirming that Kim Jong-un is (was) indeed at this summer residence or whatnot. Rumors about his death claim that the procedures took place right then and there.

God help those poor surgeons now...

One other thing, different disciplines can have different threads for this. Not like there are going to be many threads this year, and besides, I suppose that would help increase the hype around the event. TISC spin-off will have its separate thread at any rate.

For today I have another random MLB 2019 game, and later on a replay of the Kentucky Horse Trials cross-country (#BestWeekendAllYear).

With statements like "This is the biggest scandal in history!!", it's as if this dude belongs on Totallympics.

Hopefully at least some part of it, even with the knock-out system, can still be held in a live show format. Quarterfinals, semifinals and finals could be held during one afternoon/evening for example.

TISC shows usually take up a whole day, so I'm gonna go with 'no'. Even if this special edition will likely use a different, and quite possibly shorter, format.

And that's why you should work the schedule around it.

Incidentally, this video is not receiving much love on the IMDb.

I am thinking about where to put the TISC spin-off. Initially the first Saturday seemed ideal, but maybe it would be better to put on the middle Saturday as the centerpiece event?

So the details about the lockdown lift-off have been announced... It all seems rather quick and shortsighted, so I'm quite sure they will revert back to lockdown in some departments, and soon... But basically... From April 27 - all stores open (except malls), public transport is back, libraries and museums open as well as training facilities for sportsmen and women. From May 4 - hospitals and private clinics open (at 100%!), hairdressers too From May 11 - gatherings of up to 10 people allowed, malls open, preschools and elementary schools open, hotels, caffes and restaurants as well (but only those with open terrace), National Parks and Nature Parks open, softer travel restrictions

Yeah, figuring out a schedule of all this should be a lot of fun.

Lovely first day in the Decameron. I am eager to see if I will indeed be able to hear all 100 stories in 10 consecutive days.
