Or in the beginning. Yeah, clearly not two people who had a normal breakup and at least can still say hi without anger and those things

Positive thoughts buddy, positive thoughts! Post the streams of the Slovak matches here please

And also that it's La-Chaux-de-Fonds, Europe's own Cheboksary

Forgot Poland and Denmark, but I've caught up on those today and yesterday Also, this week we have the Tour de l'Avenir, where future star and huge favourite Juan Ayuso sadly crashed out today.

For which they are receiving shit tons of (deserved) criticism inside their own country.

Excellent gold medal, which is a decent result for a nation where youth/junior sports just isn't as important as it is in many other nations. Dutch athletes often only get better once they get professional guidance, which usually just starts later

Tragic...'good' to see at least Yousufi managed to get out in time, as far as there's anything 'good' in all of this

I guess this can be changed to right now...don't think there's a big chance the team made it out of Afghanistan towards Jordan already?

Another federation with old flags, IBU-style Georgia No Yugoslavia yet though.

And then it's Rein Taaramae of all people taking the spoils Today it's a sprint, which according to the official profile will be a final uphil kilometer, but in reality will be maybe 300m of a slight upwards trajectory but nothing too special, and so fine for normal sprinters.

Great, gotta love having Olympics events which can't possibly be quantified in any legitimate way

If I'm not mistaken, it's basically a matter of who the judge finds more 'cool', and there aren't really any actual scoring criteria/deductions/etc.

It sort of makes it feel like "Oh, nothing new" and so closing the tab when opening the main page But if it's something from the builders of the forum software, there's not much we/you can do about it, and we'll get used to it

Not this total bullshit again. Yes, Biden is partially at fault. But no, Trump is absolutely not free from any blame in this, not even close. If it were up to Trump, the result would have been the same, only a year earlier.

That turn looks less dangerous to me than some of the parts afterwards, where it feels like it's too tight for a high-speed race (combined with some turns). Curious though.

Huh, never heard of that before. Is there any reason to actively de-activate licenses during the summer? Surely a country like Canada doesn't need to save the handful of dollars in fees, considering they're big enough to have 30-40 pairs of skis (or more)......per athlete?

This plus incompetence is what has been given as explanations the most here, combined with a total lack of motivation to fight for some centralized government they've got no connection with whatsoever. A sort of comparison I saw somewhere: "As if China decided that 28 and a half random European countries are now one country, followed by Thailand deciding who is the president of that and Brazil saying that Minsk is now the capital. Good luck finding people in (formerly) Norway or Belgium who are motivated to fight for said government in Minsk, even if officially it's the same country now."

Especially such a large country...it basically took, what, a week? I think I read a message from last week Friday that they took the first provincial capital and now Kabul has fallen within a day. Then again, if you get almost literally zero resistance, all you need to do is walk through the open door... Any word on why nobody really resisted them at all? There's plenty of people having opinions and thoughts on that here of course, but I'm more interested in what 'regional social media' says about it, since that's probably more realistic..

Gerd Der Bomber Müller has passed away aged 75, one of the most prolific goalscorers in history.

The question is, what will happen now? Especially for example for women and their chances for normal lifes (meaning, education, somewhat free choices, not needing some male relative simply to walk the street, and so on)? It's hard to imagine the current situation will mean the lives of regular Afghan people will magically improve with extremists like Taliban in force.

And that's the end of Ghani as president. Two days was optimistic as well, I guess, especially when one barely even has to fight to get into a capital. It's like a football match where 10 of the 11 players of one team decided to sit down because they'll lose anyway

And there we go, Taliban has entered Kabul. Doesn't look like they're getting any serious resistance anywhere anyway, sadly, since basically the entire Afghan 'army' is fleeing and/or surrendering immediately. Two months was a positive guess earlier this week, it won't even take two days..

Yep, which is why I wasn't a (big) fan of him neither. The best or at least most enjoyable champions show up outside of only the one or two big events as well. Which is entirely their own choice, obviously.

Too bad organizers of big Diamond League meets and such would never pay a good amount of money for an unknown athlete like the Olympic 100m champion....
