Gewiss-Netherlands

Five minutes done, is the rest of the world even trying?

The elite women start in a few minutes. Triple reigning champion Sanne Cant of Belgium just said there's only one woman made for this track and that's Lucinda Brand. It'll most likely be between her, Cant and Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado. Personally I'm hoping for Annemarie Worst of my little home town

Two out of two, Ryan Kamp dominates the race Kevin Kuhn fought his heart out in front of his own fans and got a good silver medal, Mees Hendrikx got bronze for the Netherlands and also managed to stay within a minute.

Ugh.

Yes, we need to have that in the thread or else we might think this is the Tennis FEI Australian Open and we expect people to jump over the nets on horses with a tennis racket in their hands. Ah, the strictly forced rules of Totallympics thread names, gotta love it.

Refresh my mind please, what was Sharapova always accused of?

Men's U23 race is underway now.

As expected, Shirin van Anrooij won the first ever junior women's world title by some margin. Second place for Puck Pieterse at 53 seconds, over 20 seconds ahead of American Maddie Munro.

Women's tennis is so random

Yeah, because USA won't completely hype her as American of course (which she is)

If ever there is a moment for a team to win an Olympic medal..

Damn it Clarey, so close again!

I do remember it was already in the news every day when ebola (definitely in some African countries we generally hear literally nothing but misery about) had a couple of hundred infected people. That has a higher mortality rate, sure, but at least here people don't specifically find China more or less interesting than other parts of the world. Also: there's just a whole lot less 'connection' with Liberia or Sierra Leone or something, a ton of countries have thousands of people in China and so evacuations are a bigger deal. I'm curious where you read the daily reported new patients in other parts outside Hubei is decreasing now, since the numbers those other regions publish to the outside world show an increase, not a decrease.

Peter Fill's last race. No way this is a coincidence

Ready for the Kandahar downhill

Well a lot of 68-year olds enjoy their retirement as well and I'm fairly sure I heard him all last season basically I miss his harsh voice going all "he's got 121 speed!!!"

Dukurs and Hermann win, surprise surprise Yun really didn't have the set-up right in run two. By the way, where on earth is John Morgan?

It's about time they give this thing a better, easier name than just 2019-nCoV.

At least he went from losing 3 seconds per run to losing 1.5-2 seconds per run

Excellent choice by Shiffrin (and Vlhova, in case she was thinking about it) not to go to Sochi. That would have been a major waste of time

Or find a downhill venue somewhere

Aren't all of them in skeleton though? Wrong thread man Wouldn't it be rather hard for Gambia anyway, since Frimpong seems steadily ahead of him and even with continental quotas there shouldn't be more than 1 'free quota' I think?

Brand new Youth Olympic champions Marco Wörgötter making a more than excellent World Cup debut, in which he's already secured of a top-30 finish.

There have been multiple cases there though. Why not have - say - a speed skating event in Ürümqi, with 18 cases in it's entire (huge) state, but no problem with going to Germany or something? To be fair, most of the other countries with cases do seem to have a much better grip on it, but still. I'd mostly avoid going to Hubei province itself for now..
