I'm fairly sure she's done that earlier!

This is the mixed freestyle event, where you have to change skis in between the backstroke and the balance beam.

Not surprisingly, the snowboard and freestyle skiing world championships in Beijing (along with a host of Beijing and 'Beijing' World Cups) have been cancelled, or at least will be moved away from Beijing. https://www.fis-ski.com/en/international-ski-federation/news-multimedia/news/fis-world-championship-and-world-cup-events-in-beijing-cancelled

Ah yeah, those people will sadly always remain. Not sure what's worse, those people or the people who refuse vaccines because "if I get sick it was God's will and so be it". Sure, but don't let everyone else remain in danger as well because of that, vaccine-refusing asshole.

This always makes it seem like you posted some shitty comment that you then regretted

I just hope people won't think it's now just a matter of using vaccinations and two weeks later it's all done Because that's not how it works

Thanks, now I have my annual moment of sadness because Eurosport doesn't actually show sepak takraw anymore like they did in fact used to do

It is really, really not

And I can pretty much guarantee not even 2% of Dutch sports fans (so not Dutch people, but actual sports fans) have even heard of her at all, just to give a sense of the interest in sports like these even when there's a decent competitor.

Yeah I ain't happier than you with those things, but I do see how it has value to the Olympics Although I don't have a problem with all of these events, it's just the splatterfests like especially women's slopestyle or women's big air where the biggest tricks that didn't end up in a fall last time were basically things like one turn or something If that would be improved and we'd see some spectacular stuff, sure.

To be fair, that counts. Money talks and such

I find it incredibly hard nowadays to judge whether or not posts like these are sarcastic or have some nonsense in them on purpose, or if it's actually reality Someone could say "They're trying to add the 280 meters crawling-under-the-hurdles" and it wouldn't even sound off in between all the stuff that's actually real.

It would have helped if extreme canoe slalom was actually extreme, but....it's just not. At all.

How on earth did Warholm get ahead of Joshua Cheptegei in the athlete of the year award

- has been moved up to tomorrow due to COVID-19 troubles in the Serbian team. The Serbians hadn't even arrived in Denmark yet (since they weren't allowed to travel) until at least last night, hopefully they made it and at least can get some sort of decent preparation in before tomorrow's match..

Do the commentators genuinely not use any sort of Excel or calculator while commentating the combined finals? I mean, again they were just wrong: with Adamovska still to go in the lead, they said Gejo's Olympic hopes were over....which is just not true at all. If Adamovska were to top the lead route faster than Meshkova, it was Gejo who'd go to the Olympics, otherwise it'd be Meshkova. Small chance for the Serbian of course, but not impossible at all. And yes, I'm late in watching

I forgot it wasn't Van Aert who won Flanders If it was a Velo d'Or for the first weeks post-COVID, obviously there would have been no other choice than Van Aert Now I'm curious about who you would see in the top-10 then.

Not much discussion possible about it, but Primoz Roglic won the prestigious Velo d'Or. The only one who could have remotely challenged him was probably Wout van Aert, but his performances were mostly centered on shorter times whereas Roglic was nearly impossibly good the entire year, both before and after the COVID break.

That is scary, good thing the emergency surgery went well. I couldn't help but notice this auto-translate jewel though: Peeing was responsive and stable after the fall, as the ÖSV wrote.

Tarjei with his first win in a pretty long time, second place for Peiffer, I'm happy Excellent result for my team's Benjamin Weger, too bad he didn't get his first podium since the dawn of time.

I don't need that proof I like it as a World Cup event, not as a separate Olympic medal event

All FIS events? I thought so far only the cross-country skiing World Cups? Norwegian biathletes have commented not too positive about that by the way, I doubt we'll see it happen in biathlon as well.

And on Ukraine's site you can have them neatly ordered, including per lap. https://www.biathlon.com.ua/
