Live stream of the year 2019. Fascinating.
 

Do you know about any live stream?

interesting qualification round in the women's Trap in Acapulco...
 
Satu Makela-Nummela broke the qualifcation world record with 123/125...
 
she was followed by Jessica Rossi with 121/125, then Deng Weiyun, Melanie Couzy and Wang Xiaojing with 120/125...
 
all those 5 shooters are already qualified to the final...and the second Chinese girl (Wang) is the only one who already earned an Olympic spot...therefore, the other 4 are all fighting for the 2 places for the Tokyo Games...
 
the 6th and last finalist will be known after the end of a shoot-off between Jasmina Macek, Yulia Tugolukova, Maria Lucia Palmitessa, Laetisha Scanlan, Katrin Quooss and Penny Smith (all of them ended the qualification round with 119/125...Scanlan is the only one of them who already got her Olympic spot)...

The Brazilian is an old woman...

I made this thread for all discussions, questions and breaking news about countries and territories that aren't IOC members; whether it's Bougainville's attempts to become independent, the Faroe Islands trying to join the IOC, Vatican City's athletics team, or a small island competing in organized sport for the first time. 
 
To track where everyone is I made a list here. The list includes all countries and dependencies with some kind of population (going off of ISO codes mostly) and I will be updating it as statuses change. "Competing Internationally" means they're active on an international sporting level – either part of a multi-sport Games or an international sport federation.

 Abkhazia (CONIFA)  Niue (Commonwealth Games, World Rugby)  Northern Cyprus (CONIFA, WPA)  Sahrawi Republic (CONIFA)  Somaliland (CONIFA)  South Ossetia (CONIFA)  Vatican City (UCI, World Taekwondo) Countries Not Competing Internationally:

 Akrotiri and Dhekelia  Antarctica  Ascension Island  Bouvet Island  British Indian Ocean Territory  Christmas Island  Clipperton Island  Cocos Islands  French Southern Lands  Heard and McDonald Islands  Pitcairn Islands  Saint Barthelemy  Saint Pierre and Miquelon  South Georgia  Svalbard and Jan Mayen  Tristan da Cunha  US Minor Outlying Islands

Excellent performance for Parisse, lacking a bit of extra gas but the 3 ahead were really strong 
Backscheider 8, he was not meant to be part of the skiathlon until Manificat got sick 
Great hopes for the relay once again 

Can we all stop giving IOC new ideas about new events, please.

You know what? As silly as breakdancing is at least it’s a physically challenging and unique exercise. It’s not what anyone wanted, but it’s not e-sports. It’s not an affront to sport as a whole. I mean artistic events were even held in the Olympics before, and it’s not that unlike, say, gymnastics. And it’s not a permanent event either. Having rotating ‘innovative’ events while maintaining the 25+ core disciplines (let’s not forget, these new sports are a tiny FRACTION) is a good balance to have, I think.

no, not at all...
 
they should undestand that those kids are definitely NOT interested in watching anything on TV, they hate any sort of "rule" and "burocracy" (which any sport competition is basically about...you just can't have a competition without them)...
 
they've never been, thay are not and they're never gonna be the "Olympic audience"...
 
the IOC must not search for a new kind of audience, they should only enforce and make happier and more loyal those who already are their long time fanbase (which is the most antithetical people you could imagine if compared to the target of stupid things like "gender equality" and above all "urban & youth")...
 
it's exactly the same mistake the American baseball is doing with their core audience...they're trying to destroy the game as it's always been to look for people who was never into it and never will be...and the only result they're getting it's that they're losing fans among their usual fanbase and they're not finding what they're looking for among the possible new markets...
 
in long terms, that's just the route to self-destruction...

Because they are behind this?
 
BachGold76 is ready to roll in 2024

Announcement to be made tomorrow morning.
 
Please clear out the streets, some people will be very, very pissed off
 
 
Brace yourself for the shistorm of our lifes.

Climbing will feature 2 events;
speed & combined (lead/bouldering) 

I kinda feel like this, but I just know I'm gonna end up spending 36 hours per day for over two weeks watching (almost) everything anyway

I want koekhappen ('cookie biting', sort of)  to be Olympic, where can I suggest it?
 
Look, it's for young:
 

 
And it's for old:
 

 
There's a Paralympic wheelchair version:
 

 
It's quite international, they even do it in Africa (and no, that's not 'he is black so it's Africa', it's actually in Africa):
 

 
It's super traditional and has a rich history:
 

 
One may even do it on horse if one so wishes:
 

 
And last, but definitely not least, the freaking king himself does it and his queen absolutely loves it:
 

Official, now...
 
 

Official, now...
 
 

Announcement to be made tomorrow morning.
 
Please clear out the streets, some people will be very, very pissed off
 
 
Brace yourself for the shistorm of our lifes.

Peut-être une très bonne nouvelle pour le sport olympique français: le CNOSF lance - enfin - sa chaîne TV
 
Budget de 2M€ Diffusion sur le plus de canaux possible (y compris web) Media365 en sera l'opérateur (j'aimais assez ce que j'avais vu de leur chaîne à l'époque)

Please someone put Bach face on it...

That's the original source.
 
The orginal article is very lacking in details. They've never reported on the subject before that. Paris 2024 was/is still interviewing IFs for inclusion. They get the date of the reveal wrong (21/02). 
 
I would still wait for a few days/weeks before starting a new career in mass murdering if I was you.
