It surely helps most top XC/biathlon athletes don't compete in it But still, a win is a win isn't it?

I'm a little tired of all the 'she is the greatest hero ever who keeps writing history' stuff I am definitely eternally grateful for her managing to get my girlfriend the heart surgery that made her be able to return to being an athlete years ago, don't get me wrong

For those interested, the Brazilian mountainbike championships will be shown live here today: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdIn7oQR5AhIMokVIRRZVqg/videos Most interesting is the women's race, Raiza Goulão vs Jaqueline Mourão. Mourão really wants to go to her umpteenth Olympics, no matter what, which is why she came back to MTB. In the World Cup this season Raiza has so far definitely been better than her, but apparently she has sustained a rather painful knee injury recently. I hope that'll be ok today and she can beat Mourão again, so, vamos Raiza The day starts at 12:00 Brasilia time with the women's senior and U23 + men's junior race (they all start together), later followed by the men's senior and U23.

Yep, and I really don't care about which country it is. If the Netherlands would refuse Turkish athletes (not happening, but there's some tension) I'd also say the Netherlands should be stripped off any hosting rights. Don't refuse athletes, simple as that.

I am 99% sure you understand the most basic rule: the team with more goals wins

Luckily there won't be any major sporting events held in China anytime soon in the next few years

And of course when you want to give an example of that, the problem is gone

For now it's ok, although I'm wondering if I'm the only one where posts that I have already posted remain in the post box after posting them.

The Swan

9-6

That sounds a little gross.

Ten legs ago he was being ridiculed on a Dutch forum for his switch to Unicorn, now it's not going so bad anymore is it?

Carcassone

That was not Brown's finest moment

That was a really good comeback and a really 'dirty' finish by Lewis

That final climb today: 1995: 9:03 - Pantani, Indurain and Riis 2018: 9:10 - Roglic 2005: 9:12 - Armstrong, Basso, Ullrich, Evans 2018: 9:14 - Froome, Thomas, Dumoulin Roglic was even faster than Armstrong, Basso, Ullrich and those jokers

He's a tourist, doesn't mean he can't figure out how trains work

That depends on where you are, plenty of airports of course have a way to get out and about by bus or train. But yeah, generally avoiding taxis is always a good idea I think

Keizer and Meppelink win on their 4th match point which hit the net and dropped dead right behind it

Robin Haase missed the Umag final after losing to Guido Pella. In set 1 he was 3-1 up, then got mad as shit at someone in the crowd ("You have been warned 3 times and still you are calling on your phone! How respectful....thanks man!") and lost 5 consecutive games Easy set 2 and then in set 3 he got mad at the noisy crowd again at 2-2, then lost 4 consecutive games. @dcro Could you please stop making phone calls during tennis matches?

World Matchplay is about to start
