20/20 for the dude who shot 71% last season

15/15 for Kühn, this is getting interesting

It was a bit better, yes, but still not what one would call very competitive...it didn't have the excitement the men's race usually have. As a fan of the event, I'd very much prefer to see it on the Olympic program in 2024, so it has a few more championships to become worthy of an Olympic event.

That's just plain stupid. In any sport btw.

The final matches in the groups are not played at the same time?

I still think it's too early to get all that done less than two years before the Olympics...it can't be good for the event to have a repeat of last year's world championships....where there was almost zero competition between the not even 10 participants.

I wonder which qualified nations have the lowest amount of NBA players and so the highest amount of players who helped their team qualify and will actually play in China?

We don't have that weird stuff actually. I mean eating herring (raw) is sort of Dutch, but it's just a fish...

When I was a kid, the name Jean-Claude van Damme always made me think of Rob Van Dam Apparently they're nowhere close to being relatives, but tell that to a 9-year old

Oh come on. "I sure hope Togo wins the 2022 Olympic ice hockey gold!" doesn't count as a jinx neither if they end up actually not winning it.

I like your try though, good that protests and riots are becoming tradition

Of all traditions and stuff I've learned on Totallympics, this is by far the weirdest (and funniest) Next year I'm just gonna go ahead and throw buckets of ice cold water on random women and go like "hey this is super urban in Slovakia, if you complain about it you're just not being inclusive enough".

I don't have boots All I have is one pair of good, decent walking shoes.

You do have to sing a Sinterklaas song though. I utterly hated that, but it was the rule...

Not the socks, but the shoes are pretty similar here too, although presents are also often used instead of candy (definitely not fruit, come on what's next, broccoli? ) If you've got a family with some young children, presents often come on the evening of 5 December in a big bag, which is for example brought 'by Sinterklaas' during the night before, or people get creative about it (I remember when I was young apparently my parents put all the presents in a bag, gave the bag to our neighbour and somewhere - purely coincidental - after we had finished dinner and showers and were all ready for the night, the doorbell would ring and there would be nobody...just a bag of presents I remember once I got all excited because my dad had opened the door and came back and said he saw 'Zwarte Piet' run away and I was like "wow really?!" )

Dude, you're a couple of weeks too late The fights were in November when Sinterklaas 'arrived' and people used it to protest and ruin children's days, now those people are just ignored

It's mostly celebrated on the evening of 5 December (with those weird Belgians as exception, who celebrate it on the 6th), although for practical reasons some people celebrate it the weekend before if 5 December is on a weekday (for example on Saturday night children generally stay up later than they woudl today, when tomorrow is a school day). We don't really celebrate it anymore, although we got each other a few small gifts and had a nice dinner

Happy Sinterklaas

Bring it on.

Not much different from what I would do, although I'd prefer a banana shake (with vanilla as firm second choice though if banana is unavailable). Also, we really need to ask a mod to move this to general chat or something
