Yeah, if IOC approves natural track luge, then we have a conclusive proof that they will do just about anything to keep the hosts happy and boost their medal count. Watch out for MMA in 2028 and pencak silat whenever Indonesia hosts it. I mean, even pencak silat is not nearly as exclusive as natural track luge - 23 nations have won medals at WCh level.

Then you must be jurassic. Also, teenager?

No, a stride is a step in equestrian jargon.

I wonder if coaches were allowed to cement weak players on the bench (like those from Turkmenistan and Luxembourg).

Meanwhile, our girls are on the way to their first ever ECh quarterfinals (provided they beat Slovakia). Hopefully IOC will make it a 12-teams tournament soon.

Not a perfect example. If there are any sports where island nations can not only compete, but also beat Australia/NZL, they are rugby and weightlifting.

Never heard of it. Maybe you are confusing straddle with stride?

I mean... Even I never heard it used in equestrian.

It's interesting when you realize that the main character from 1917 looks familiar because you randomly saw him in some Scottish musical about two or so years ago. Long live IMdB cross-referencing!

Today I learned that in Russia it is considered rude to smile at strangers. No wonder their athletes always appear to be dead serious...

Looks like at least one of is guaranteed to qualify.

It came literally one day after he posted this.

Dude, next time try to put the right flag.

Free men's quota confirmed for American Samoa (as long as they compete). It should be a nice battle in Tokyo - American Samoa vs Angola. Meanwhile, entries for the women's 470 are still not revealed. https://cdn.revolutionise.com.au/cups/sailmelbourne/files/imsnbxr8fvk9dmuo.pdf

Good luck to anyone who attempts to memorize all those teams.

advance from Group A to the quarterfinals. are out.

Mozambique is trying to make it more interesting!

Katharina Stumpf changed allegiance to ... No idea why.

0.07 away from medal in 2016 0.13 away from medal in 2020 Men's slalom at YOG.

Meanwhile on Youtube stream...

Yeah, it's more of 6/10 movie for me, but still I very much agree with the expressed sentiment.

Harrison Messenger. What a briliant name.

Great run for Tvrtko. Hoping for anything but yet another 4th place at WYOG.

Review of the year so far...
