Calm down.. Your are going way tooo far . First let tokyo happen in 2020 then let's see who wins 2032 bid. 

There is a big difference. These current behind-closed-doors events are singular events. Anything more complex is still getting dismissed (including every single multi-sport event, from the Universiade and EYOF, to South-South-East Asian Games or whatnot). Not a single multi-sport event was held since the pandemic started, so there is really nothing one can use as reference in this case.
 
Using 30 empty venues and bringing so much logistics to one city does not seem very justified. You may as well hold the events concurrently all around the globe (like the Winter sports are doing, with somewhat decent success)...

What's up with new users flocking in for women's water polo of all sports?

-    22-3  (4:1, 5:0, 7:2, 6:0)

Just one thing. Japan should not be a scapegoat for global entertainment.

Slovakia and Israel.

Handball for example used to have as few as 6 teams, and their increase of participation was gradual.
 
France being the best unqualified team (on a global level) is just wrong. It's like Georgia being the next best global team in women's volleyball (i.e. someone completely incapable of threatening other globally qualified teams).

I mean, surely some options are more fair than others...?
 
This just can't work. Because at some point, biological men can just start declaring themselves as women in order to get scolarships, medals, livelihood etc. So much easier than doping (and above board at that).

After this farce, i hope that Slovakia will win against us...

Maka comes in 24th. Should be 26th at finish. Not bad for someone whose World Cup PB was 69th entering today

So I just found out that they are serving Croatian wine (Dingač and Zinfandel) on the inauguration.

Can't believe I am saying this, but I am seriously starting to consider entering a trap song for the Annual. 

And what about gender equality?  We need to find quickly many new female members  

italy 7-6 netherlands

Russian dressage team long-list...
 
Aframeeva Marina Volonchunas Ekaterina Davidova Eugenia Zakhrabekova Irina Ivanova Olga Isachkina Regina Klementieva Maria Kosterina Tatyana Maksakova Alexandra Merkulova Inessa  
Merkulova is the frontrunner (good on both her and Mister X for bouncing back from near career ending fall / injury). Kosterina had a freak debut season in 2017 (17th at the European Championships), but has struggled to recapture similar form recently. Aframeeva despreately wants another Olympics. Klementieva and Maksakova have been shooting stars as of late, Isachkina has a nice horse, while Zakhrabekova stands a chance of getting selected as well.
 
No chance - Volonchunas, Davidova, Ivanova.

Interesting statement, which sums it up pretty well. American liberalism has always seemed too 'Conform, or else!' for my liking.

We should just not look at the goal differences whatsoever.
 
On paper, Hungary's margin over Kazakhstan should be a good sign for them ahead of Greece, but yeah, some teams are just so uncompetitive that even their losing margins don't count for anything.

Italian media are sure that Hungary is going to "choose" Italy as their semifinal opponent in any case...
 
should we upset the Dutch girls, then they think HUN would lose on purpose against GRE to face ITA and not NED in the decisive semifinal match...

I am just glad that people won't be able to blame him for everything anymore, I got really tired of it after a while. It must be a sad day for the American news media, Biden is pretty much the most boring president ever, their ratings will plummet.

Filmed my show today, I think I actually did a pretty good job  

Yep, this was obviously the last pressure even uncle oberfuhrer René himself could not handle anymore
