Thanks for your support for the Dutch TISC participation.

Even if the same company produced it, it would be his last day...since there apparently is no closing ceremony if I understood it correct here

Quite odd indeed, about Bolivia they might for example also say they are one of the worlds worst nations ever in the Olympics looking at a combination of population numbers and results

I do hope though that, if it's Bolsonaro vs Haddad in the 2nd round, most people will (albeit reluctantly) vote for Haddad...from what I've heard so far there is literally no real good candidate, but everyone who is not Bolsonaro falls under the 'lesser of X evils' category..

Anyway, one of the very highest judiciary positions in the US is now filled by someone who has a dark cloud hanging over him and got away with a story full of holes and lies, congratulations

They are quite often (not always, obviously) not exactly fans of stuff like abortion or gay people having the same rights as straight people.

Obviously nobody in the Supreme Court has the right to change laws by their own will, but in terms of human rights it doesn't exactly help when the balance goes more towards conservatives, generally speaking.

Not bad, although I think rugby sevens could have more teams which could easily be taken from 20 (!) teams per gender in basketball

Any championship to be taken seriously should have, at the very least, 16 athletes...

On the bright side, there are enough teams to have a round of 16, which is already a million times better than the fields in, say, the boxing

Nope, there's live sports going on and I'm watching three things at the same time, no time for non-sports stuff

Which most likely is a bit of an overreaction...I highly doubt Kavanaugh being accepted will change everything for 20+ years.

She got close

But my friend, you can watch the breakdance B-mixed team preliminaries!

Apparently Duquennoy and his girlfriend were watching something on TV last night. At some point she asked him something and he didn't answer...he had already died.

Jimmy Duquennoy has died yesterday due to a cardiac arrest, 23 years old. https://www.procyclingstats.com/rider/jimmy-duquennoy

That makes things even more complicated So here times are in US West Coast Time, others are in local time...I'm already getting confused

What are the listed times? One would assume local times to be the logical choice, but it doesn't seem very realistic the days will start before 5am

Skipping the opening ceremony, attending the sports. You, sir, are a true sports fan

I wasn't following it that closely yet, definitely not the boxing

Wait, 6 total participants per weight category?

Mass Start 60: Awful, why on earth does biathlon need such a complicated and even unfair format? (since the first shooting bouts will be at different points in the race for half the field, that's just unfair) Flexible mixed formats: I don't care Junior Cup: Nothing wrong with a Nation's Cup there, although like in the IBU Cup it probably doesn't mean that much Electronic targets: They may make it more fair Extra quota: I'm not entirely sure how this works. They take the IBU qualifying list, remove every single athlete from every country with at least one WC quota, and the top-8 left gets a WC quota regardless of their results? I wonder if that opens the door for Australia or even Brazil to have a WC starter (which in the women's case would be Jill Colebourn and lovely Bruna Moura respectively). Personal start quota for the IBU Cup total winner seems excellent.

Hence the 'probably' For every single golf player it's more likely that they end up between 2nd and last place than in 1st

Sad news actually, whenever some young athlete has to withdraw.
