  1. Yeah but about that arrogant and homophobic cow most people are happy that she won't be there
  2. One of the best overall athletes in the world right now, who won't be in Rio
  3. Wow, 12.20 and a WR for Kendra Harrison So incredibly sad that she won't be in Rio, those damn trials
  4. 1:45.23 PB for Thijmen Kupers, still 0.03 outside the national standards (not that it would have mattered anymore, but still).
  5. Well it's not over yet...I mean, the series haven't even started yet
  6. Shaunae Miller is ready for Rio
  7. Yeah I can't predict against falls at the worst possible moments of course On the other hand: you said Aru and Porte would do good but they were far from convincing (then again, I agreed with you, so yeah, we both lose )
  8. Probably It's a little hard what to say about Chontey in my opinion, since the only result I can find is one of last year where he bombed out..didn't see him in Kazakh nationals this year neither (or I didn't Google good enough). Edit: Apparently he had 281 earlier this year.
  9. Telkehaimanot has fallen, taking Tom Dumoulin with him. Both got back up their bike, but Dumoulin grabbed his wrist and has now apparently stopped on the side of the road while crying...(and yeah, no way he's crying because he won't finish the Tour of course). Goodbye to one of our biggest Olympic gold medal hopes for Rio.
  10. Belgium men's road race: Gilbert, Wellens, Van Avermaet, Pauwels + De Plus
  11. As we'd say on a Dutch forum: Fire is hot, water is wet, weightlifters are among the positive athletes...
  12. Oh come on, you get no points for guessing weightlifting correct
  13. Aru is going for war today
  14. I've posted the text below on Reddit, because since I have grown very interested in weightlifting after watching the last two World Championships, I think discussing it in more detail might be fun. In 2 years it has gone from a sport I wouldn't watch at the Olympics unless there was really no other choice, to one of the sports I'm looking forward to the most in Rio In the men's -56kg, I think it's clear Long Qingquan (CHN) and Om Yun-chol (PRK) are the two favourites for gold and silver. Long totalled 300kg at Chinese nationals this year, which is only slightly behind Om's 302kg. Personally I think Om's the favourite given his huge pedigree at major champs, but I'm curious how other people see it. At least year's Worlds, I really liked Nestor Colonia (PHI), and I think he might be one of the guys battling it out for bronze? PB'ed 282kg in Houston and opened up his year with 268kg (and two failed CJ 153 attempts) in Tashkent. I'm guessing Thach Kim Tuan is the main favourite for bronze, considering his 293, 294, 296 and 287kg at his last four major competitions? Three of them were in 2014 though, so it's a bit hard to say.. Apart from those four, I think most others - the likes of Chontey and behind him Salas, Kruaithong, Mingmoon - probably only have an outside medal shot and need to hope that one of the aforementioned bomb out. Which leads me to what I think will be the final standings: 1. Om 2. Long 3. Thach 4. Colonia 5. Chontey I'd love to hear your thoughts on it, before we move up to the next weight
  15. In the road race that wasn't a problem right? I thought the issue was whether or not she can do the ITT as well?
  16. Uniform/pant designs for the Olympics http://www.worldtaekwondofederation.net/16749-2/ I think the entire bottom row is incredibly boring...almost as if they're not finished yet. On the other hand, I love the Brazilian one and the British, Iranian and Thai seem cool too
  17. Oh, and yeah: Movistar Valverde rides literally everything, yet would probably beat Quintana here in the Tour if he didn't have to work for him even though Nairo has been spending months and months in the mountains preparing for this one race
  18. One out of Yates/Mollema ending up on the podium of course wouldn't be a major surprise anymore now. Mollema has already shown that he's capable of climbing with the best a decent amount of times throughout the past years, while Yates has just been really strong for the entire Tour now. Of course before the Tour started especially Yates ending on the podium would have been a major surprise, but so would anything other than Froome/Quintana in the top-2 and probably Contador in third. There's nothing screaming that a horrible day is coming like Dumoulin (who didn't have a horrible last day btw, but only lost time on a climb which is completely normal instead of horrible) or Kruijswijk (who only had a horrible day because of a fall, because in terms of climbing he was still looking stronger than anyone else until then). Normally Froome should obviously hold on to first plae unfortunately, although here in the Netherlands I've already heard the jokes saying "Going into the last 2 days with a 3 minute lead or bigger? Nah, no way that can go wrong!" If everything in the next two days goes somewhat normal, Mollema should end up on the podium, maybe behind Yates who I think has been stronger in recent days. Quintana is close, but unless he finds some better shape for two days, I really doubt he can catch up with those two. I agree with you about Aru though, he was so impressive today! It almost felt like a totally new Aru and I'm really expecting him to go on the attack tomorrow (though not gaining several minutes over the other GC contenders, but I think he might take the win) Porte also is looking very, very strong.. My prediction for tomorrow's stage: 1. Aru 2. Porte 3. Froome (right behind those two, after failing in his mission to help Porte win a stage)
  19. Nope. It doesn't work like that, don't believe the scary news so easily
  20. In my opinion, the trading card game goes way down the list when it comes to boring (as in, the most boring), but that's just my opinion I mean, I absolutely loved collecting the cards when I was a kid, just the whole idea of playing/fighting with them didn't get to me. However I understand what you mean about Pokémon Go I think, it would have been much nicer if players could simply battle each other instead of only at gyms
  21. Yep, she has completely lost all reason now and is looking more and more like a 8-year old child who just heard he can have no cookie
