Did Strenius really just miss the Olympics because her coaches decided to have 135kg as second CJ attempt instead of 131kg (which she might have made and which would have been enough)?

Absolutely....this feels like the local U12 championships in some obscure sport only people in a small region of some hidden country do, not continental championships in an Olympic sport... Even Wikipedia only has a link to day 1 results https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_European_Taekwondo_Championships

Also, my sincere apologies for bombing out of this after two picks. There were more important things going on. You know, that's life.

And right in the contest where I spent by far the most time to listening the songs

Apologies, I was/am occupied elsewhere for a while.

That one who clearly just won the competition, and wrestling.

I know her name, but had no idea she was already in the peloton for that long (this Rabobank jersey is from the 1700's or so ). The times of Erik Dekker and Michael Boogerd

Absolutely.

I'm going for the lady in the Rabobank jersey, which should of course be joined by cycling.

If that moment was a second or two.....you're not alone

One could easily create a grid of Dutch Olympic, world and European champions of the past 10 years without me recognizing one of them

I watch a shitload of sports but sorry, for 98% of athletes I'd have no idea what they look like out of context (or sometimes even in context )

Oh right, hello

Meanwhile in Great Britain, Prince Philip has died at the age of 99.

That's all nice and well from the local fishermen, but are they proposing an alternative as well or what?

Wow, did not see that coming less than a year before the Olympics

It took me so long (until last year I think) to realize that it's "(t)each Pokémon to understand" and not "to Alakazam" That sentence made so much more sense with 'to understand' at the end

I can hardly think of one, let alone multiple...let alone multiple from only the past year or so Now I'm curious which ones you have in mind though

As long as it's not on Thursday (update night at work), it'll be fine

Thanks, now I really want to know the answer to this Oh @Dragon!

We had some snow yesterday as well (and possibly tomorrow again), which was...interesting Sadly not enough to actually do something with it apart from making one single ball. I thought it was a lot more rare than it apparently is though, especially in the 20th century it was way more common to have snow in April than to not have snow in April

About the tiebreakers: now I am noticing why the graphics seem to be wrong all the time...they are not only ignoring the B group, but also using body weight as tiebreakers For example after the women's 59kg snatch, this is the top-3: 1. Tchakounte (95kg, BW 58.66kg) 2. Kostova and Te (both 95kg, both BW 58.74kg) Where an actual tie is of course by definition impossible if they actually use the lifting order, since nobody lifts at the same time Surely the lifting order is used in official results, but it's weird that the graphics use the old system

Are they actually being sold and delivered already? It looks pretty cool (although sadly my wallet doesn't yet agree ) Asking because I read this in the FAQ:

No Om Yun-chol, screw these Olympics
