Wait, they're not going to use more slaves to build new stadiums for every single one of these World Cups?

Nice weekend of short track skating, too bad the DJ messed things up between and even during races. Wonder how many people will leave with tinnitus

being in 's way and being in 's way at one of the exchanges

The result of that is that will have to do the relay with the line-up with which they got a 3rd place in the World Cup, followed by a win, a win and another win. Plus without Schulting the chance of actually getting a result is bigger anyway

Koreans screwing each other in short track, one of the all-time classics

Well, that was...something

It's about time they make the kick finishes illegal, where someone finishes with the skate up and the back of the skate in the ice. It's causing so many delays due to the ice having to be fixed.

Especially the keirin, few events have so many contenders, with the biggest 'favourite' probably still having only like 10% chance

Yeah, especially after those issues in the prone shooting (which were so odd, standing was fine) it's awesome to see how she fought back I do feel for Tandrevold for really letting it slip through her hands in the last weeks, but overall I'm enjoying this fight, I'd be happy with both of them as overall winner (different than that year with Vittozzi vs Wierer, where I was very strongly cheering for Vittozzi...), so it's a win-win situation for me as viewer

Thanks! I'll look at it tomorrow I think, since right after my post Tiz-cycling went back up and had the link to UCI's YouTube video (which is unlisted, so one needs the link)

Anyone have a clue where the UCI stream of day two can be found? I'd check Tiz-cycling, but their website is down again

In a semi-perfect world (because in a perfect world this whole situation wouldn't have happened of course) both teams would very quickly agree to just stop the match until those assholes are removed, but yeah...I doubt that'll happen Good that he speaks up about it, a quick read in the comments seems to at least be overwhelmingly supportive.

What I find most odd is that apparently there's two people fighting each other on Wikipedia editing (seriously, come on), but then they take this fight here and post on Totallympics only to post about their fight on Wikipedia This whole thread is honestly the weirdest and oddest thing (weirder than the death wishes/threats) I have seen in I guess around 10 years of Totallympics

Holy moly, impressive memory Bib 108 for Tarjei, but in Pokljuka 2009 he was 4th behind Swiss Thomas Frei. https://web.archive.org/web/20150112111519/http://services.biathlonresults.com/results.aspx?RaceId=BT0910SWRLCP03SMSP

Wow. Are Wikipedia people that petty that a simple normal page like this can apparently not stay open? Although reading back a bit in this thread, with some unexplainable shit-throwing back and forth going on....yeah, Wikipedia people seem...odd

A Wikipedia page about what?

Oh boy, angry comment incoming...

You may honestly wonder why someone like that bothers being a commentator I don't know anything about taekwondo, but if I was paid to do commentary, at the very least I'd try and pronounce the names

Wow, that sounds even worse than those basic English commentators many sports have where they only call the athletes by the country "We're going to watch the quarter finals, it's Italy against Argentina!" and then goes on to only call them Italy and Argentina......in an individual sport

Presidental elections have started in Russia

6-1 by now, I'm starting to think Sparta Prague really needs to start stepping up their game.

Sparta Prague lost the first match against Liverpool 1-5, they're now 4-0 behind after less than 20 minutes. Only 9 goals needed and they kick Liverpool out

Looks like the footballing days of Quincy Promes are now really over He has been convicted in the Netherlands a while back and is wanted here (stabbing his cousin, importing 1400kg of coke, just your regular Tuesday), but has been playing for Spartak in Moscow for quite a while now (and is important there). Recently they went on a training camp in Dubai, he got involved in an accident there and got arrested And the best, there's an extradition treaty between them and the Netherlands since a while, so it's basically a matter of finalizing the formalities and he'll be sent here and straight to prison for several years Of course the footballing days of this example of being ultra dumb are over then, so when he gets out, one can only assume he'll become some wannabe drill rapper and end up getting shot over a drug deal or something, but who knows

Would have been nice to have at least one semi-surprising team in this list, too bad PSV was laughably awful

No, I very much do not like Djokovic, but the heart reaction is simply because it's an awesome surprise: a player from outside the top-100 beating one of the players who always win the big events, I don't see how that isn't cool Same with the Grand Slams in the past eternity or so. The wins of Sinner, Alcaraz, Medvedev, Thiem were awesome, instead of always Djokovic, Nadal or Federer (and the hype that goes with it, that always goes along the lines of "wow, Nadal/Djokovic/Federer wins historic 532th Grand Slam title, he is for sure the GOAT!", year after year....you know, media people, at some point it's just not special anymore).
