  1. I'd say posting official streams of any event should be highly encouraged
  2. To be fair, that's a little like saying the Netherlands should be great at ice hockey because it's the best country in the world both in skating and hockey
  3. Thanks, let's see how it turns out. Actual shooting might be my own thing then, I'd find it cool if - like in biathlon - real shooting skills play a bigger role then the super quick laser clicks where a miss costs maybe 1 second (plus real shooting requires more skills in terms of wind reading and so on) Anyhow, still looking forward to watch it in Paris, it will be my first time watching it since Tokyo, expect more of my dumb questions about how it works by that time please
  4. Out of curiousity: what are some of the potential changes pentathlon fans are hoping for with a different UIPM president? Like, any chance of going back to actual shooting for example?
  5. Haniyeh is not leading resistance, he is doing the exact same thing as Netanyahu: leading criminals. He should end up with the same fate as Netanyahu, whatever it may be.
  6. Oh I would have no doubt the same cowardly thing as Haniyeh does is going on with the likes of Netanyahu and his cronies: the leaders staying high and dry, enjoying the luxury life. One can only hope the likes of Haniyeh and Netanyahu and all their corrupt and criminal cronies somehow 'fall of the balcony', as the Russian authorities would say.
  7. Daddy himself is the one living up the easy life in Qatar, that's not a secret or something
  8. Meanwhile, the Seine is still measuring sewers-like levels of poop bacteria. https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20240408-french-charity-sounds-alarm-about-seine-ahead-of-olympics-1 Somewhat safe or not, of course the athletes are going to be sent into the water anyway, but for their sake I hope it does indeed improve in the next few months..
  9. Yeah, it breaks the record of 1964, although that match was certainly more fun: 9-4 Ajax is in total shambles anyway, organizationally speaking. First the drama around German Sven Mislintat, who threw away dozens of millions with awful and super shady signings (through his own company), Marc Overmars who was kicked out because somehow he couldn't keep himself from sending unwanted dick pics, a new CEO who started in March and is now basically done already because it turned out he bought thousands of Ajax stocks right before he was appointed, the whole team being filled with unknowns (and Bergwijn) due to the never-ending dramas. The headline on a satirical website last week says enough about the situation: Relegated to the third level, stadium exploded and Johan Cruijff turns out to have been a serial killer; calm Wednesday for Ajax And that was before yesterday's 6-0 humiliation (which easily could have been 7-0 or 8-0)
  10. Well that's going to be unwatchable
  11. I genuinely wonder how the clown from the Netherlands is cringe, but the clowns from Croatia aren't
  12. Pogacar and Van der Poel will meet in LBL, although that's of course much more a race for the former. In this shape I doubt Van Aert would have been of much resistance today by the way, but yeah, we will never know.
  13. 12km to go until the Wallers-Arenberg forest!
  14. Tarling Bike exchange and then was brought back to the peloton behind the team car, very clearly. Now he's taken out of the race, there you go. Another serious outsider gone.
  15. Tiller, Hagenes, Haller and of course indeed Asgreen...that was a lead group of rare strength for races like this.
  16. Out of curiousity, what would be the easiest sport for him to qualify in? Is there a summer equivalent (in terms of qualifying) of cross-country skiing before the changes to make it harder/more realistic? I'd guess athletics with the universal quota, but if only one athlete from is better in the 100m or something, that'd be tough Of course world rankings in MTB are quite odd that way too I believe, or has that changed by now so athletes can't get high enough anymore solely based on 'easy' races?
  17. Her sister testing positive for EPO as well doesn't exactly help her case though.
  18. You do realize it's 'best lamb dishes' specifically, right? Not exactly surprising for Turkey to dominate this
  19. This remains unbelievable to me. I mean, one strike can happen, people make honest mistakes. But if that happened, you're already supposed to really be on edge.....then it happens again.... If you know that a third time will result in a ban, which it should, how are you not spending every day making absolutely sure, ten times a day, that all your whereabouts information and everything else is entirely correct? Ask your coach, ask your federation, ask your NADO, ask everyone to make sure you do it correctly... Like Rastorgujevs in biathlon: he got a strike because he wrote down his address as "Stelvio, Bormio", which was obviously not enough to locate him (as WADA/IBU/whoever told him). He then got another strike unrelated to that, and later a third strike......because he wrote "Stelvio, Bormio" as his address again. Come on. There might have been something else going on in her case, like not having anyone at all available to ask something to (teammates, coaches, federations and so on, maybe the relationships between them are bad, who knows), but ban or not, at least I hope she will learn to deal with the system...
  20. Fantastic, can't wait for that whole act again....
  21. Sterkenburg beats Smetko , two wins to go to get to Paris.
  22. Where can I sign for this? Cool to see there is actually some hope (I mean, probably he won't get it, but if you say the chance is there, I'll have hope). Brother Marcel Sterkenburg in 87kg is already out in the first round, so it'll have to be him
  23. And if you desperately need to show something, just keep it with the helicopter shot from high up without zooming in. That way we see the situation isn't cleared yet, but we can't see the details of what they're doing. But yeah, preferably just don't show it at all. Put an extra camera on the waiting peloton or something, that's pretty interesting often, hearing the riders talk and discuss the situation and so on.
