It's better to help both. If they accept help, of course. All that Western Sahara nonsense shouldn't be an issue in whether or not there's help.

Meanwhile still not a single rescuer has been spotted in many of the destroyed mountain villages. But the king ordered people to pray for the victims, so you know, it'll be alright, he did something.

Is rowing a sport where world championships really say a lot about, in this case, next year's Olympics? Of course in terms of overall looks, not in exact medals Just wondering, since I don't really follow rowing (I did watch all the finals here), but for example in track cycling even world championships usually feel like there's always some athletes missing who'll only appear at the Olympics, no idea if that's the case for rowing as well (like the women's single sculls and one of the boats with two guys, the gap was so big...was everyone there?).

Seems like Morocco has only excepted help from Spain, the UK, Qatar and UAE, while dozens of other countries have offered help as well (of course, because in these situations even countries in the 'tense' part of the world - with all those never-ending tensions between countries - often end up providing help to each other in some way). Sad for the thousands and thousands who are in desperate need of help, but are getting....well, nothing at all. Especially a lot of relatively small mountain village have been devastated and totally left alone.

Tokyo were funeral Olympics? You missed Beijing or what?

Yeah, I like the area I live in and like telling about it, but I already did that last time and I just don't really care enough about other parts of the country to pretend to have a lot of interesting stuff to show about it Plus the amount of work was....large

For what it's worth: the Dutch commentator said he will be, yes I believe the procedures are in such a way that this year he still wouldn't, as per the rules, but next year he should. At least I hope so, it's already sad enough he had to DNS in Tokyo just to be able to compete for not-Cuba in time for Paris.

I've done it once, but don't think I'd have the time and creativity to come up with something nice again, so I'm afraid I'll decline

Oh oh

Yeah, I've taken a look at Wikipedia editing once, for fun, but dear lord is it a collection of comma-fuckers, people yelling "no there needs to be a space there!!" and all kinds of ridiculous fighting about....often just nothing So I quickly noped out of that one The fact that this is apparently a known thing makes me curious though: do you have some examples of pages where this sportsfandude reverted edits and such and what exactly was 'wrong'? I've read this thread, but for people not editing on Wikipedia it's rather unclear what exactly is the issue

Oh wow, this sportsfan1234 thingy has been going on for months already here apparently? Time for popcorn and reading I guess

Isn't that rightfully so though? Why only look at the number of goals, meaning a legendary defender can never be seen as one of the greatest players? Anyhow, Neymar kind of did it to himself, by mostly going for an incredibly negative 'vibe' around him (with his theatrics and his overall.....act) instead of focusing on his talents

Yeah, that is disgusting stuff. Referee must have a nice house somewhere now

Please don't call him a scientist He is someone who says things like "random planet A and random star B are in random angle X, so earthquakes might happen". Well, yeah, he is always going to be right if he predicts earthquakes to happen...because earthquakes will happen. I can also predict that there will be another earthquake in the next 12 months somewhere. He says 500 things, and when 1 actually happens, he pretends that he predicted it, and lots of people fall for it. Luckily most don't.

Earthquake hit Morocco last night, already nearly a thousand deaths have been reported and that is absolutely going to rise 6.8 on the Richter scale as of now, which is insane when considering the most significant earthquake to ever hit Morocco was the 1960 Agadir earthquake at 'only' 5.8, which caused 15.000+ deaths..

Welcome

Yeah, this is F1's Schumacher-Ferrari era (or Mercedes-Hamilton, another one where the car was so dominant a second-tier rider could regularly win) all over again Doesn't help that some of the main challengers don't seem to be on point.

Yep, and one might wonder the same about Almeida. I mean, he's not exactly Evenepoel's level, but definitely not someone who is generally dropped when the group still has 30+ riders in it..

Thanks! I'll give it a try tonight

This was the last profile/map, I think? Alright, here we go then, from some minutes ago: Almeida was busy being dropped, TV directors were busy focusing completely on that....and then entirely missed even bigger news, defending Vuelta winner Evenepoel being dropped from the main group, 3km before the top of the Aubisque (which is not even remotely close to being the last bit of climbing). Lost nearly one and a half minute already, he's down and out.

.

I'm getting lost, is this the discussion thread? For what it's worth: we're in stage 13 by now @frantic13poland, 11 and 10 were some days ago

But doesn't that sound perfectly like an event they could host outside of the Olympics, with fun and slightly competitive games in a fan village and such? You know, like if the Olympics were in the Netherlands we might have some fun in a fan village with stuff like koekhappen https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koekhappen

Quick question: can previous sessions (i.e. the previous days and specifically the A-B semis) be rewatched somewhere?
