    So you would avoid the USA, Thailand, South Korea, Australia, Canada, Germany, France etc as well?

    Who here is blaming their way of life? And just to clarify: saying maybe the hygiene in some markets are not exactly helping in not having weird diseases transfer from animals to humans is not a racist thing.

    Which events are they dominating? It's definitely a sport where - especially in terms of juniors - I wouldn't look too much at rankings, like in mountainbiking.

    And Antarctica. And South America

    Interesting. I'm quite glad we have a pretty basic test (like basic knowledge about the country, a language test and so on) before being able to become a citizen, but I guess it's different everywhere.

    The main weirdos of the EU are gone, what's there to cry about?

    Those commentators are just brilliant and the kangaroo stopping right when they say cutting that corner takes away his fastest lap time is perfection

    I'm fairly sure there was a World Cup or something there once? It very much sounds like I've seen something from Milwaukee before

    Two minutes after the deadline and the official EU website still lists 28 member states, including the UK. How unprofessional! https://europa.eu/european-union/about-eu/countries_en

    Bye bye

    And a region-by-region list here, including all the updates (with either official or reliable sources mentioned), especially handy if those maps aren't working well on phones https://bnonews.com/index.php/2020/01/the-latest-coronavirus-cases/

    Out of pure interest: why are there voting ballots in Burmese and Khmer? Isn't voting for citizens, who - one can assume - are supposed to speak or at the very least understand the language of the nation they're a citizen of? Say war breaks out here and I'd be forced to flee to Uzbekistan, I wouldn't dare think I can become a citizen without speaking the language or vote without being a citizen..

    Yeah, only seven Americans have ever gone under 6:20; besides of course Shani Davis and über-American Chad Hedrick those were Derek Parra in 2002, Emery Lehman, Brian Hansen en Trevor Marsicano in the past 11 years and Jonathan Kuck of all places who joins Hedrick as only one to ever go under 6:10 when he had his weird super season for one month or something. Too bad KC Boutiette never made it past his 6:22 in the SLC Olympics. The 10k is a little sadder, with only four guys ever going under 13:20 (Hedrick, Davis, Hansen and Kuck).

    That would be sad. Do all those boats with 2 and 4 people and lighter people and whatnot have that much more meaning than the flagship of rowing?
  15. heywoodu
    In case anyone cares There's a handful of decent names competing, but it's nothing big.
  16. heywoodu
    But at some point you're at a level where improving every year is not 'normal' anymore...like when you're jumping 2.02m as an U20 woman

    RIP bus driver

    And every cycling fan in the Netherlands is not sceptical at all about Van Vleuten going to El Teide all the time
  19. heywoodu
    And when you want to dope, you go to places where there's the smallest chance of testers getting to you (while still being able to train, so Antarctica doesn't count). This is generally in places like remote African towns and mountains, or the infamous Teide on Tenerife.
  20. heywoodu
    "Spain has long been an attractive place to train for athletes." No shit Especially the islands and somewhere on a volcano or something were testers rarely come. Why else do you think there's also a ton of athletes training in remote African places? Because "the conditions are harsher and so it's good to make you tougher"?

    Clarey topping the first training in Garmisch, I'm just going to get my hopes up again anyway because why not Allez Johan http://live.fis-ski.com/lv-al0098.htm#/ranking
  22. heywoodu
    The course looks truly, insanely boring. I can't understand how they awarded it to a place like this, ugh. Anyway, apparently the weather is rather shitty, which in terms of cyclo-cross means the weather is great Hopefully that can help in making it interesting.

    Dead-last place in qualifying for Kasai in Sapporo I can't wait for his 36th youth to start.
  24. heywoodu
    Today's training at Rosa Khutor has been moved to tomorrow morning (08:00 CET), with the race planned for 10:30 CET and the super-G still as scheduled on Sunday. Doesn't look good, but at least they're not giving up yet.
  25. heywoodu
    I'm in an affected nation and not complaining about this, does that count to make up for one complaint?
