Winter is here Well sort of, but looking forward to tomorrow's opening. Also, apparently Lukas Braaten has announced retirement, because of some stupid dispute with the Norge federation.

Julia Simon has been arrested by the French police in an ongoing investigation against her for Credit Card fraud. Last January her teammate Justine Braisaz-Buchet has pressed charges against Simon for using her Credit Cards to buy different stuff.

Former WRC driver Kristian Solhberg landed here on Thursday to start coaching and working with 4-time Bulgarian Rally champion Miroslav Angelov. It was speculated, that Angelov was going to announce a WRC2 program for next year. Today, on the second day of testing there was an accident and Miroslav has died For some reason, on a high speed straight the car had crashed in a concrete wall and then caught fire. The navigator managed to pull Angelov and then rushed to the hospital, but to no avail..

Interesting, i was using both in Opera and they were detected. I am now on uBlock in Firefox and it works for now. Guess Edge is a safe browser too.

Ааа yes, the billions and billions they make yearly couldn't be possible if they don't start squeezing even more the regular person... Get out ! The internet hasn't been free for a while, but in a few years it's going to become like the supermarket.

Yes, from a week now. Firstly they started with warnings, but today i've seen more aggressive approach with a pop-up, that you have only 3 videos, if you don't disable or pay, and then they will block the player. I am working around it for now. What are you using?

Just want to mention, that Google WILL NOT WIN the war they have started against Adblockers in youtube ! These piranha corporations never learn...

Should have been plan A from the beginning.. The Cabinet doesn't want to be mocked as the "country that couldn't host their full Olympics". Well better late, than ever.

It's very strange seeing Spain without a full team.

After all these years, there are still shocked people? How, why? You just need to remind yourselves of the words, of the great ruler of the European Continent from 2015: "Come, everybody come! On walks and boats, plains and trains, come, come now!" Of course, not without the assistance of their BFFs overseas, who enlighten the poor out of their good will. "Asia, no problem, bombs for them! Africa, who that, bombs for them as well. Don't worry regular folks, we are here to help, don't mind destroying your village, city, country. You just need some proper guidance on how to live your life and control your resources." Next time when it happens, people could still act shocked and pander how and why. For the rest, it will be just like reading the weather forecast.

Shame Italia, shame...

Are they awarding India 2036 tomorrow as well? Looks like Bach is actively trying to decide things up until 2050 before his term ends.. Reminds me a lot of our politicians here. When their term is coming to an end, they open the floodgates and agree, sign all sorts of last minute stuff, before they lose power..

Yes, even better, if it is in a year without regular Olympics, so we don't even need to associate with it. At least we can ditch this black cloud (for now).

This is some joke right? Is this going to be only a LA thing, or is Pentathlon changing completely it's premise? Like is their World Cup gonna have Ninja courses from now on..

Imagine that a decade ago, i thought Bach would be an improvement in IOC leadership. Oh how, how wrong i was... Note to my current and future self - Every changes that are going to happen from now on are going to be worse and worse.

Switzerland?

We currently have 3 Men, but the outside chance of getting a 4th one is slim. Fisherov was supposed to be that guy at 102, but after missing the Worlds he is out. There is another guy Marinov in the same category, but he needs to improve. Plus the 61 one isn't certain yet.

1 edition, so they say The Tokyo ones should have been 1 edition, but.. (well poor karate), the Paris ones should have been 1 edition, but.. This whole charade wouldn't even be so bad, if they actually set some rules and followed them... Like ok, every host can have 3 special sports added, but after the Games they are gone. If the next host wants to include some of those, then fine, they do have their 3 picks too. But don't trick people, that they are temporary and then just pile 10 additional sports, while butchering all others.

I'm surprised NBC hasn't requested Americas Got Talent as an Olympic sport.

Happy that our team played to the end and fought for the win. Any win is needed for us, no matter how insignificant it may seem, since we've lost so, so much in the last 5-6 years. In the end, we did better, than i expected after the disastrous Euro. But after seeing the missed opportunities in the Poland and Argentina matches, things could have been much better. Every time, that small team mentality in big situations... By the way, now our Canadian users know how difficult it is to watch a BG match, with mire ups and downs, than an American rollercoaster.

Welp, it's not like it wasn't expected. Congrats to Canada on (almost) making their third straight Olympics! For us, it's time to move on to the next generation and begin the journey for LA.

Hypothetical chances for Bulgaria are for 3 wins for 3 points, plus Argentina not getting a point against Poland and Canada losing a point to Belgium. If we get 3 for 3, but Canada gets 6 points from their other two matches, then CAN will get through on set ratio (ARG still needs to get nothing from POL, as to not crash the party) Of course, usually when i make math prognosis we lose the very next match, so no wonder i wake up Friday to a 1:3 loss to CAN 😄

Yeah, good win today, but probably won't matter in the end. They should have won yesterday to have a chance.

I don't know, if i can physically commit time to this edition, as things have been very busy recently. I will think it through in the next 2 days.
