Aaand, Halep will lose it in two sets this time.

And he is from

Again we go with micro delegation, yay. Even Cyprus has more.

Watched "The King of Comedy" and "Ingrid Goes West" recently. Pretty good movies. Both have similar story, with the latter being a more modern version.

Alright, so we'll need Svitolina to win Wimbledon and Pliskova to win US Open to make 2018 the year of chokers that delivered.

I can hear the announcer commentating the race, but the pictures are showing surrounding landscape, not race.

Gretha Ferreira secured her WEG qualification after scoring 67% in Achleiten. South Africa now needs just one more athlete (possibly Laurienne Dittmann) to qualify in order to field a team at WEG and automatically take Group F Olympic team quota. If they fail then Group F quota will still be up for grabs at a special qualifying event where South Africa could face Palestine as the main competition. Hoping to see them with a team in Tokyo. They missed out on Rio by a margin of 0.06% (!!). That was cruel.

Randomly tuning in just to see commentators getting crazy over Bolivia winning a medal in women's 4x100m relay. A medal for Bolivia in this event, how? Did everyone else got disqualified?

Yes, it was broadcasted on TV here.

Nah, we didn't have such backups. Besides, there wasn't much room left with a whole row of VHS tapes being lined through the hall in between the rooms. Anyway, I could have imagined that you followed quite a bit of that too. Since Mr. Domino himself is that Dutch guy.

Same here. My sister and I were so inspired that we used to build our own courses around the house using CD/DVD boxes and VHS tapes as dominos. That was sooo loud.

You never saw Domino Day? This one gets awkward with no music or something in the background. Just audience being quiet.

So if Halep wins this, are there any more epic WTA GS chokers left?

Don't forget those who don't eat.

Well, he won the first set due to a lot of winners. Impossible to sustain that level. Nadal meanwhile doesn't make UEs, not even in the first set.

Not much has changed with Jonty's condition since the first report... http://eventingnation.com/jonty-evans-remains-in-intensive-care-following-fall-at-tattersalls/

He was similarly saved by rain against Bolelli. Well, while Bolelli wouldn't have won, but he could have possibly taken one set to end Nadal's streak earlier.

Interestingly he said that he might go for more than one sport. Let's go crazy and take a look in which all sports he could possibly compete if he aims to take part in as many as possible. Universality sports Athletics - almost any individual event if selected by Tongan NOC Swimming - any individual event if selected by Tongan NOC Easily achievable continental qualification Judo - Just participating at couple of qualification events should be enough for an Oceanian continental place. Sailing - Just participating at a qualification regatta likely enough for Finn, RS:X, 470, 49er and Nacra. Might face a couple of nations in Laser. Taekwondo - Already qualified there for Rio. Should be easy enough if Australia doesn't choose that weight. Possible continental qualification Archery - Could become possible if Australia gets a quota before the continental qualification, however island nations are not that bad here (including Tonga). Badminton - If Australia again decides to decline men's singles quota, then he could get a continental place. Quite possible, Tonga itself almost qualified for Rio but it turned out that their player didn't have enough international tournaments to be eligible. Canoeing - Both slalom and sprint are possible, though Oceania does have decent athletes outside of AUS/NZL... I guess C1 (200m or 1000m) in sprint might be the best chance. Artistic gymnastics - Should be able to qualify through continental qualification event, provided that both AUS/NZL qualify before. Open water swimming - Could qualify if both AUS/NZL qualify directly and/or decline. Tripartite commission invitation Boxing, Trampoline, Modern pentathlon, Rowing, Table tennis, Weightlifting, Wrestling (+ Archery, Badminton, Canoeing, Artistic gymnastics, Judo, Sailing, Taekwondo) So it's possible for him to compete in 16 sports. However, he may struggle to reach minimum eligibility in a couple of them (I already excluded shooting for example because reaching MQS there is probably impossible). Also, I don't think Tripartite Commission would be that lenient for this cause. Anyone wants to suggest this to him and make a complete mockery of the Olympics? @heywoodu perhaps?

Looks to me he's gonna go for sailing. Smart, considering that just appearing at the continental qualification regatta should be enough for any Ocenian island nation to qualify... Prediction: He is going to be like Swaney of sailing and ignorant media will call him cheater or whatnot.
