1:42.14 for Amos Only 5 men, including himself, have ever run the 800m faster

48.97 for Miller-Uibo First woman to go sub-49 in 12 years

World U20 800m champion Solomon Lekuta beat world U20 1500m champion George Manangoi in the 1000m

Kicking the thread, Monaco starts in a little over an hour (in terms of broadcasted events)

What was Chicherova's result?

Well that was tense, but Demare lost

Bauke

All he needs to have a real shot is for Sagan to make another way too dangerous move

Two minutes of attacking and FDJ's cheating clan prevented anyone else from attacking...luckily that has opened up now and there's some more action.

That is new indeed..

Also: there were questions earlier to raise the time limit by 2%, but it was denied by ASO. The next day, Demare was in trouble and, surprise, they raised the time limit during the stage

And for today's finish...oh boy.

Why can't people just stand and cheer/applaude for the riders? Is it that hard?

It's not over yet

As always with these cases, I find it very hard to see exactly what the 'news' is

That only says 24 provisional suspensions, not 120 suspensions..

But I don't think the Olympics should serve as a way to start some event from scratch. Events should already be interesting and competitive enough to deserve a place in the Olympics, so basically the other way around compared to what the IOC tries to do. All women's Nordic combined has so far is a bunch of 15-year old girls starting it and a handful of older ones who are happy there is finally an international competition or two. I think my main problem is that it's bordering on insanity to finalize the list of events for the Olympics only 3 years before the Olympics. If you do it one cycle earlier, say 7 years, new events at least get the chance to grow up into something competitive.

For me, half of my sports-watching fun comes from discussing stuff with other fans, preferably live

I wouldn't know where one might get this published, but I definitely like it. Although I don't agree with everything, by the way. My opinion on women's Nordic combined is clear I think (it should be added at some point, but 2022 is way too early considering there's not even a decently filled Continental Cup yet, let alone a World Cup), and any women's bobsleigh event (monobob or 4-woman, no difference in that) should only be added after several years of World Cup races. Also, adding two women's ice hockey teams, sure, but not when it costs quotas for other events. Just have 46 more athletes at the Games, it's not a problem. Takes like a half building extra.

I'm curious if it'll be mostly the same pilots actually, since it's a whole different game.

Just like in Rio. That was awesome, on the major Dutch forum the only people watching and posting were people actually interested in the sports instead of people who don't care and just come to troll (which happens a lot when it's during daytime) Still hate the fact that I'm being mocked for the 200m breaststroke though. One guy asked "who's the favourite for this race?", I answered "Everyone but Balandin."......couple minutes later, Balandin won the gold.

Torpedo Moscow kicked out a black player because 'fans' of the club didn't want a black player wearing 'their' jersey and protested his arrival. Faith in humanity is getting smaller every day. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/6824223/torpedo-moscow-erving-botaka-yoboma-contract-racist-fans-protest-black/

Majdevac isn't the smartest one out there, is he? At 11:20 is his goal, and yeah...that second yellow is for taking off his jersey So because of him either not knowing well-known rules or just being really not very smart, Balzan will have to miss him in their next match. I'd be so freaking mad if I was his coach..

That moment you look at a GIF and when you turn your eyes away again you realize it's 3 hours later.

Who is this Renteria?
