    Today I learned Arianna Fontana apparently has eight Olympic medals
  2. heywoodu
    You have a source for that? Because weirdly Dutch media says it's in 2022/23 (or that's when the new stadium should be used).
  3. heywoodu
    Why are people with power and money so disgustingly stupid?
  4. heywoodu
    I was 7 and only followed the speed skating
  5. heywoodu
    Yeah it'd be awesome, but I highly doubt it. Most likely we'll end up with just another regular indoor speed skating rink that pretty much looks like all others (at least hopefully they'll make it better than the mind-numbing borefests of Calgary, Salt Lake City and Inzell, to name just some random rinks).

    Nagano is in my mind as more memorable than Torino by a wide margin
  7. heywoodu
    Oh crap. That was my one and only reason to hope Italy didn't get it. RIP Baselga Now I'm not sure which epic venues are left...Collalbo and the basically never used Medeo I guess..
  8. heywoodu
    Not Baselga?
  9. heywoodu
    So where is the speed skating going to be, Milan?
  10. heywoodu
    Wait, can't they? I'm sure there have been some cases where people got a yellow card for it..
  11. heywoodu
    800m is about as far as I got when pushing it to the limit before starting my life of more exercise, so that's a job very well done
  12. heywoodu
    Won't count for the Netherlands though, he has to get a top-8 there, period.
  13. heywoodu
    One wonders if the track survives a bit longer this time..I'd be surprised if the Cortina track is still used regularly in, say, 2030.

    Welcome to the Netherlands, the country where (for example) alpine skiers need a top-8 in the World Cup to qualify for the Olympics and then when - with a bit of weather-related luck and a miracle - they do get one (Marvin van Heek) the NOC says "no, due to the weather this result was not representative for the actual quality/chances"
  15. heywoodu
    I wouldn't say refuse, as he can still reach the national criteria, but yeah, it wouldn't be a given for sure. If he had qualified, he still would need one of the following: - Top-4 during the 2018 WCH (nope) - Top-8 during the New Delhi, Beijing, Munich or Rio World Cup (only Rio to go..) - Top-6 during the 2020 ECH
  16. heywoodu
    I had no idea there were quotas available at all.
  17. heywoodu
    To be fair, one can wonder how strong their opponents have been, since Italy, Russia and the Netherlands (Serbia is the only exception) were playing in the 3x3 World Cup which was still going on when the European Games started
  18. heywoodu
    That rare time I want Brazil to win in football they of course lose.
  19. heywoodu
    Meh.
  20. heywoodu
    I only read on places where underdogs are always favourited and even there they agreed Cameroon behaved very shameful. Didn't read any English media
  21. heywoodu
    Half the players acting like little bitches does sound like it's getting close to the men's game to be fair
  22. heywoodu
    Wow, not a lot of good stuff to read about Cameroon...sounds like a very good thing for sports that they're out.
  23. heywoodu
    Nafi Thiam was well on her way to setting the world's best heptathlon result since Jackie Joyner-Kersee's WR in 1988, but apparently sustained a bit of an injury and now is behind schedule
  24. heywoodu
    Yeah that part I heard before and everything about it sounded as lame as lame can be
  25. heywoodu
    Dear Lord, that is so incredibly lame.
