Herbert/Mahut are out as well, that's the entire men's doubles top-4 gone after two rounds

Well yeah you need an ice rink, which is why I'm mostly hoping for the tiny chance (yet unrealistic, I know, that's why it's tiny ) of for example someone with Iranian roots competing for Iran while based in another country. That's what happens with Brazil for example and because of that, very very very slowly one or two or three people actually in Brazil are getting a little interested. I know, it's all not that realistic, but like I said, it's not wrong to hope

Well neither did Colombians, until a foreign coach went there and started convincing inline skaters to give it a try on that strange icy thing Ok, I know Colombia and Iran are rather different in terms of quality in inline speed skating, since Colombia is the dominant force, but still. It'd just be cool if someone gives it a try or something, be that by somehow stumbling upon a foreigner with ties to the speed skating or whatever, one might hope

Triple overtime

All of Sweden almost came just now

Iranian lady in the 1/8 finals of the women's 100m competition (where she lost, but rather closely), that surprised me https://www.schaatsen.nl/media/36517/161-qualified_for_the_1_4_final_senior_ladies___100_m_sprint_tournament_1.pdf @MHSN Is roller speed skating somewhat of a 'thing' in Iran or is she entirely unique? It'd be so awesome if one day one makes a move to the ice Edit: Wow, also an Iranian guy who lost in the 1/8 finals AND an Iranian guy who won and will be in tonight's quarter finals! https://www.schaatsen.nl/media/36518/162-qualified_for_the_1_4_final_senior_men___100_m_sprint_tournament_1.pdf

We found a point of agreement

I don't hate her I just often notice this sort of 'attitude' on the court and in interviews (it could be just me, but I'm not the only one based on several forums) She's ten classes above the rest in the world though in terms of quality, gotta give her that of course, no doubt.

Her eternal "I wish I was not here and I hate what I'm doing" look is awesome indeed

For what reason?

42-year old Jaqueline Mourão is going back to mountainbike to try and get to her 7th Olympics if she manages to beat Raiza Goulão. Who knows, maybe that means she's slowly starting to give up on going to the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, but I doubt it.

I'm still convinced Jesus hurt himself mostly by rolling so hard that he hit his head or something.

No surprise, the world's best sprinter wins stage 1

Saint-Hilaire Obviously that's named after Hilaire Van Der Schueren of Wanty - Groupe Gobert

In Dutch we have sort of a saying about football: "Football is the most important sideshow/side issue in life." Belgian commentator when the Tour de France broadcast started half an hour ago: "If football is the most important sideshow in life, it's now time for the main event of life. Cycling."

Step 1: select English You select 8 riders (max 3 climbers, max 3 sprinters, max 3 leaders, max 3 allrounders), with a total maximum of 100 points as cost. Every day you select one of them as your captain for that day, his points are doubled.

League name: Totallympics Password: 2DUHZ

First try of selecting riders and I got to exactly 100 points

I'm going for Florian Vachon

Ouch, Croatia

Well yeah, it'd be a sensational surprise if it does not end in a mass sprint I wonder if Kittel has finally found something good instead of the awfully disappointing excuses for a sprint he has been showing so far since moving from Pat Lefevere's rocket fueled Quick-Step to Katusha. Personally I'm going for either Gaviria or, who knows, Groenewegen.

In b4 Venezuelan state of Miranda fighting for indepence.

So thank the Romans, if they didn't conquer Brittania we might never have the English to start football to make the French initiative possible

Officially it's of course not, but yeah, they are not exactly seen as Europeans I'd say

Wasn't it a French initiative in 1930?
