This means Lopez is still very much active and going for another gold?

The volunteer thing happened only once...it might be a one-time thing, hopefully?

It's a little hard to come up with a fatality rate yet, way too early for that. Generally that's done based on the entire number of 'closed cases' (meaning people who've got the virus and are now either cured of it or dead).

I'm just gonna wait and count the number of people from this group who end up testing positive though, it'd be surprising if it's 0

Sestriere

I can easily envision a flag pole with 6 extensions to hold it by

Recommend or force it upon nations? I really don't care if it's a man or a woman, but it seems a bit sad to let two people do this. It's a perfect honour to give to one athlete. If it's got to be two, why not three? Or four? Or 16?

Considering it also was only the third ever Winter YOG, that's hardly noteworthy But a good thing, of course. I think Tokyo's Olympic skateboarding competitions might be the best watched Olympic skateboarding competitions in history. You know, if it happens.

Meanwhile all of the Netherlands is mad with 900 students who thought it was a good idea to go to Northern Italy this week for a skiing trip, against advice from medical authorities. They're all coming back tomorrow I think. Can't we just rent a cruise ship and dump them on the ocean for a couple of weeks?

I've already started listening, which is about two weeks earlier than usual.

Do people actually watch all of the videos? Every listen is audio only for me

Did you know that the 1900 Olympics were barely even a thing and are by a lot of historians even barely considered to be Olympics?

Jewish blessing for death or something, according to Google We really do learn something new every day!

The Qatar World Superbikes round has, rather unsurprisingly, been postponed.

After having to walk for the better part of the last two kilometers during my half marathon debut last year, I can now finally say....I did it! I ran a half marathon distance for the first time in my life this morning To work around the GPS inaccurary of my Polar (I think it shows a bit more than the actual distance) I set it to 22km instead of 21.1km and finished that in a little under 2:20 hours. Nothing too fancy in terms of speed, but my only 'mission' apart from the distance was to keep running relatively easily and just finish the whole thing instead of blowing up my legs. That worked With this huge confidence booster in the pocket, now it's time to try and add a bit of speed for 4 April

No, tickets to every other country

They'll do that in May

Wow, that's a shock...sort of, apparently as a cyclist he already had heart problems as well

@Gianlu33 @phelps @Dunadan Any word on whether or not this means Strade Bianche, Milan - San Remo and Tirreno - Adriatico will be cancelled? Those are rather hard events to do without spectactors, since you'd have to block way more than just a stadium..

Damn, that team relay finish Italy is so freakishly lucky

Sounds like athletes might have released this virus just to get this done instead of having microphones shoved in their faces

Every Olympics is held during 'the Olympiad', since it's always 'the Olympiad'

Argentina has fallen.

Not suitable for work. Repeat: not suitable for work. Google Translate should say it all

Wait, what? Hundreds of new cases today alone and 20+ new deaths.
