Joshua mentioned he didn't have any mandatories to get out of the way now For boxing's sake I hope he's right, those mandatories are annoying when they delay the big fights forever and ever

I had no idea, but apparently there's a huge discussion about those FIFA Awards, where one of the ugliest nominated goals won the Puskas Award for best goal of the year (which didn't even win goal of the month in it's own competition), where the 3rd best player wasn't put in the team of the year and where the world's best female player was not chosen as the world's best female player, simply because the votes are up to the fans and the fan's don't give a crap about who is the best player or which is the best goal, they only care about the name that they know best Anyone else read criticism about a lot of these awards, especially this year, being awarded to the 'wrong' people?

Is Pakistan not very good in counting or what am I missing? https://www.samaa.tv/sports/2018/09/six-nation-hockey-tournament-in-lahore-postponed-till-december/ 1. Pakistan 2. Oman 3. Qatar 4. Bangladesh 5. Sri Lanka 6. Kazakhstan 7. Afghanistan Right, withdrawals... 1. Oman 2. Qatar 3. Sri Lanka That's a list of 7 nations, of which 3 don't participate. Since when did 7 minus 3 become 6?

Apart from Froome's joke in the Giro this must be the strongest bit of riding in quite some time from Rohan Evenepoel

Cycling history for Belgium, their first ever ITT medal

It was, mostly because of the climb. I'd say Dumoulin 60%, Dennis 35% and everyone else combined 5%

Dennis is on course for destruction

In the negative or positive sense? I was watching from the repechage contests on and almost got bored to death, especially the (gold) medal fights. Basically it went like: nothing, nothing, nothing, attack attempt, nothing, nothing, nothing, another unsuccesful attempt, nothing, nothing, golden score, nothing, nothing, nothing, score and over.

That's only the 59764458th time Grol threw away a potentially very nice result

Bit of an unfortunate headline by Dutch main broadcaster NOS in these times... https://nos.nl/artikel/2252132-accu-dumoulin-weer-opgeladen-zin-om-iets-van-wk-te-maken.html Loosely translated it says 'Dumoulin's battery has been recharged'

Former World Cup champion Zach Lund is the new high performance director of.....Ghana!

Germany once entered with Geboren um zu Leben, didn't they?

You mean after korfball? Because surely you don't mean one of the rare winter sports where three continents all have multiple realistic gold medal contenders across the board of events

Well, there's around 17 million people and around 22,5 million bikes here... Basically every average person has a bike for daily stuff like going to a friend's house or the shops or something and a lot of people have some old bike they use to go to the train station or something (because bikes often get stolen from there so people don't want to put their regular bike there). Plus racing bikes and stuff like that.

3-10 years in prison for Bill Cosby.

Leontien Zijlaard - Van Moorsel (I think in that time it was still just Leontien van Moorsel). Who had the 2004 road race gold in her hands with a show of force in that race, until she was in the front of the pack, looked back and clipped a wheel, and fell. Few days later instead of being in the hospital, she won the ITT gold

The GPS in the end was only around 95% wrong Saying Van Vleuten was 12-13 seconds faster than Van der Breggen, which turned out to be nearly half a minute

Like someone who won more Olympic gold medals than Longo

The competitiveness of women's cycling

Surely you don't mean Garoppolo's torn ACL here?

Sort of He played in Anderlecht's youth, then went to the youth of PSV (NED) and back to Anderlecht, meanwhile playing in Belgium's youth teams. At Anderlecht troubles with the coach led to him not being selectd anymore, so he moved to smaller KV Mechelen, where he quickly lost interest in football and decided to start racing (April last year ). Started with a 10th place on a regular road bike in a time trial against guys who had been racing for several years and then went on to destroy every junior

Evenepoel Did they accidentally put him in the category with 12 year olds?

I don't even have a functioning one, let alone a broken controller

I'm hyping him because he quite often wins by just riding away from everyone and going on a 100+ kilometer solo minutes in front of the rest And yes, one doesn't have to act like a 10-time Grand Tour winner yet when that happens in junior races I mean, he almost verbally abused his teammates after a TTT they didn't win and where he basically dropped the entire team on a climb. It's fun when you are that good, but in a team time trial, the whole team thing is not unimportant.
