    I do genuinely hope she gets her life in order though, assuming the bone cancer diagnosis is real. She's still young enough to have a normal life outside of sports, so hopefully she gets better medically speaking, puts this behind her and starts life as a regular working person

    Seems like a relatively small strike on some military base, which at least to the outside world Iran seems to be more or less denying in order to not 'have' to hit back. In the words of Iran at the UN after they attacked last weekend: the matter should now be deemed concluded, one would imagine (and hope, nobody needs this to keep going and going).

    Logical, given the world's average preferences, but too bad. A Sydney or Melbourne Olympics might be my best chance ever for comfortable weather at a Summer Olympics, a rather rare opportunity

    Too bad, July and August kind of feel like the best times of year to visit both Sydney and Melbourne without worrying too much about melting away, and quite nice average temperatures https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Sydney#Climate_data https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Melbourne#Climate_statistics Brisbane at least seems to be not much worse, although June/July would have been slightly better...but like you said, IOC won't allow that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Brisbane

    Beautiful victory for Kasia Niewiadoma in the Fleche Wallone, after already finishing 6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd and 2nd in her career, finally she takes the win, her first in almost five years

    Bernd Hölzenbein, famous for his dive that gave West Germany a free penalty in the 1974 World Cup final, has died. He played in the US in the final years of his career, but said (long) career consisted mostly of many highly impressive years at Eintracht Frankfurt. German football players are leaving this world fast the past few months..
  7. heywoodu
    Right, that makes a lot more sense
  8. heywoodu
    Wow, I'd expect a prouder reaction from dad
  9. heywoodu
    Haven't fields like these been the go-to-place for throwers looking for limits and records for years already?
  10. heywoodu
    Thanks, and interesting, especially Mollenhauer having basically grown up there, that's Azerbaijani enough I'd say
  11. heywoodu
    Azerbaijani-Russian, apparently, but it does look like she was born in Baku?
  12. heywoodu
    73.09m for Yaime Perez, best throw in the world since 1989.
  13. heywoodu
    Yeah, but I doubt there'd be the interest to convert it in a non-Olympic sports venue
  14. heywoodu
    "Time to try something new" In before Paulino jumping 2.05m high

    Marianne Vos herself is mostly showing sympathy for Wiebes, which once again - as we've seen for years - shows how wonderful a person Vos is and always has been.
  16. heywoodu
    Fantastic analysis by Annemiek van Vleuten on TV: Wiebes' jump wasn't good enough......yeah, possibly because her hands were in the air
  17. heywoodu
    Oooh yes, we might have one of those classics again.....Lorena Wiebes sprinted for the win in the Amstel Gold Race and celebrated....but it was too early and Marianne Vos passed her on the line I keep wondering how someone can act so unmeasurably dumb as a pro cyclist (and the best sprinter in the world, mind you)

    They bought three though, there's one Azeri
  19. heywoodu
    Are Irish, French, Finnish, Portuguese, Swiss, Czech and Belgium people really significantly smaller on average?
  20. heywoodu
    It does make it easier and better to view for non-regular viewers if the differences in the categories are only limited to the number of athletes in the boat and the oars (or however it's called) they're using, and something less visible like weight isn't really a thing anymore. Lightweight classes have often felt a bit like a category for rowers who are too small, like if there's a special volleyball competition for people under 1.65m
  21. heywoodu
    But for sure Azerbaijan, Bahrain and Qatar are the kings in buying athletes (if we define buying athletes as athletes who have zero connection with the country)
  22. heywoodu
    No idea, maybe to save the Azeri spirit
  23. heywoodu
    qualifies for Azerbaijan.
  24. heywoodu
    Final has started and Poland started off strong.
  25. heywoodu
    Latvia wins after an absolute thriller in OT and with that, immediately needs to switch from trying to beat Latvia to being Latvia's biggest fans later today
