  1. 1 in singles, 2 in doubles
  2. This should be no problem, most major tournaments have been played with the same games for more than two years if I'm not mistaken. My main problem with that is that 6 years might be a lot harder, and the program for the Olympics should be all set and done 6 years before the Olympics. I know that's not the case in reality, but that's stupid
  3. Van Poppel 144th Nizzolo 148th Sagan 149th Trentin 172nd, haha
  4. Of all picks for today, only Felline is in the top-113 (103rd), so I doubt it matters much
  5. Yes, like 'e-mail' or 'e-cigarette'. Everything should stay as it was in 1908, forever
  6. Because you, as an athlete, can take care of your training and diet reasonably well, whereas you can't expect an athlete to spend hundreds of hours researching aerodynamics and whatnot.
  7. Not entirely the case of course. Put a bad driver in a good car and a great driver in a mediocre car still has a chance to beat him.
  8. I had no idea these two played together for a year already (and even won a title), that's awesome F*ck politics
  9. Yet another reason why summer biathlon is so awesome by the way: rollerski's, wheels and everything are provided by the organization and are all standard. The same should happen in cross-country skiing and sports like that, to avoid the highly unfair situations where teams like Norway are there with all kinds of wax trucks full with scientists and technicians and 50 pairs of skis per athlete, while smaller teams have 2-3 pairs of skis per athlete and one person waxing and testing the skis.
  10. You forgot to see my edit In F1 yes, a large part is teamwork (like in many sports btw) instead of just the driver, which is why I mentioned standardized equipment.
  11. In my opinion every sport besides running, jumping and throwing stuff is a grey area
  12. And in motorsports the main difference is made by the skills of the driver (at least when, as I said, equipment is standardized, which should be the case in cycling, sliding sports, cross-country skiing etc anyway).
  13. This is gonna be a painful sprint
  14. Mollema is not riding very smart...
  15. Interesting question indeed. I wonder if it has something to do with the enormous amount of attention for LGBTetc in media nowadays (which I'm not specifically for or against, I'm just noting the existence ).
  16. But it's ok when a large if not most of the work is done by an animal? Also in a sport like cycling you don't stand a chance if your equipment isn't at the top level. Just look at track cycling, the Brits are not the best track cyclists in the world, they have the best equipment in the world and so automatically have an advantage. Not to even mention the sliding sports. Besides, people might say "I'm done with the Olympics forever if they add this or that!!", and then this or that is added and guess what? These people still watch the Olympics!
  17. Mollema, Clarke and De Marchi for the win
  18. Enlighten me. Why should chess be considered a sport, and esports shouldn't?
  19. Chess is considered a sport by many people, or equestrian. If they are considered sports, I don't see why esports shouldn't be, even though I find esports incredibly boring to watch (much like chess and equestrian ). Olympic karting would be fun as long as it's done with equipment that's made available by the organizers, so it's mostly about driving skills. Edit: Should have known, when it's about Massa of course it's electrical karting. Never mind, forget it
  20. heywoodu 1. Michal Kwiatkowski (2) - 2 2. Dylan Teuns (67) - 69 3. Elia Viviani (1) - 70 4. Wilco Kelderman (20) - 90 5. Matteo Trentin
  21. Haase with a comeback from 2-0 down, but mostly because McDonald was absolutely, completely destroyed by the heat and fatigue.
  22. Yep, apparently they started during the US hardcourt season these past weeks and from next year it will be there on the other GS's as well.
  23. It's sad for the 'normal' people mostly, since I'm guessing the government leaders won't have any trouble when the food crisis everyone can expect because of this hits in a few years time.
  24. Apparently Vögele was still injured (she withdrew last week) and only came to collect her 54 thousand dollars Stupid rules
