    Any idea what happened with Canada? They now have 0 eligible women and men https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/v2/quota/list/owg/cc/2022

    Booooooooooom Damsgaard!!! What a freaking cannon ball

    Here come the empty headed people and their threats to Morata and his family again....

    I do think weightlifting will get back, at some point (I might be naive, but sometimes that's less depressing ), so athletes who are barely 20 or didn't even get there yet might have some more hope than the ones who are already in their thirties now..

    Apparently the Dutch weightlifting federation got confirmation from the Dutch NOC that they will actually accept Kuworge's quota Dutch weightlifter at the Olympics (and a still very young one at that, so plenty of room for progress!), I didn't think I'd live to see the day

    And people seem to think that watching all night and half day means you don't sleep, but if you don't have obligations like work and such, you'll still be perfectly able to sleep the same amount of time as always

    Weightlifting, triple jump, shooting for the first three I assume, where is Moldova's chance? And taekwondo for the ROT?

    I'm likely going all-out to be able to follow Beijing 2022 as close as possible, but I think that's understandable if a certain someone qualifies Other than that, I don't think I can see myself not try and follow all or at least most of any Olympics, except when at some point children could be a factor and their school vacations are the only time in which to go on holiday or something.

    Actually I find it perfect when Olympics are during the night. Basically nobody else is awake then, so I can give my undivided attention to the Olympics and only communicate with people related to the Olympics instead of the usual daily things (and have the groceries delivered, of course, although I already have 30 packs of noodles for nightly hunger )

    Together with Martina , Aït Saïd is my favourite choice so far

    You're only getting them now? I mean, as soon as we knew it's in Japan, I was going for sleeping from roughly 17:00 to 00:00 and that's still the plan, depending on the exact days. Meaning my sleeping doesn't change, only the time does Obviously this is only possible because I'm free from work. If that's not possible or you have a child or something, this simple solution becomes near-impossible

    Anywhere between 15 and 35 would not be surprising A ton of medal chances, but that includes a whole lot who are not necessarily the main favourite and could just as well finish 4th or 5th.

    Nothing official yet, although the latest and (and really the only) real news article about it is from yesterday: https://www.volkskrant.nl/sport/nederland-vaardigt-na-53-jaar-weer-een-gewichtheffer-af-naar-de-olympische-spelen~b5ded4f2/ There it's saying he will go (first Dutch in 53 years), and also that his gold medal in the world juniors should have been enough and nobody - including himself - knew why it took so long to get confirmation after that. Those people really should read on Totallympics more often.

    Ah, the same article on a Dutch website did call him 'The Elon Musk of the Balkan' Unknown here then, I guess. I was wondering since I'm really not into these things myself, but this dude sounds pretty interesting to follow.

    How well-known is Rimac in Croatia? Just wondering, since the first headline I saw about it here literally said "Bugatti taken over by unknown Croatian company" Cool though, Bugatti's are sweet.

    Davide Rebellin, 49 years old, climbing into the top-10 in a pretty decent field https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/sibiu-cycling-tour/2021/stage-2-gc Tutti pazzi per Pirazzi is also back, but nowhere near his pre-doping form

    I already know how that's going to go Day -2 and -1: "Cool, it's starting, let's watch the softball and football and let's go!!" Much later with Olympics in full swing: "Huh, finals are today, I wonder who made it."
  20. heywoodu
    Harder for Flückiger than for Lecomte though, considering the women's race is basically what we saw (minus Neff), whereas in the men's race Van der Poel will join the field, Avancini will quite likely return in better shape than earlier in the season and Pidcock is probably going to be a lot more recovered than he was yesterday...

    Ugh. It's both so unsurprising and so sad that Athletics Kenya is basically just an awful and incredibly incompetent federation.
  22. heywoodu
    How many young people watch TV instead of stuff on their mobile devices though? If you truly want to reach young people, one might assume 30-second highlight videos on TikTok might be enough..
  23. heywoodu
    Wow, please teach the NOS how that works
  24. heywoodu
    Wait, your national broadcaster shows sports during the Olympics?
  25. heywoodu
    Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!
