@kungshamra71 Portugal is in, seja bem vindo!

I've only seen that in football on TV, never in real life (apart from my sister when she talks while eating, but she holds up like one finger as if that covers anything )

Have you guys actually even seen people with masks outside? I can't remember even one in the past 10-15 years or so, apart from maybe an Asian tourist somewhere

Ireen Wüst takes her 7th world title, Patrick Roest his 3rd. And with that, an absolute era in the world of speed skating has come to an end, fucked right up by the ISU themselves. This atrocity of a double world champs in one weekend will be repeated...once every two years, meaning next year will have no allround champion (or sprint) at all, for the first time since 1947, when it was resumed after the WW2 break Thank you for messing up a beautiful sport, ISU. It's been a wonderful run until all kind of circus events got priority over the soul of the sport.

Theo Bos is not retiring yet after all. "Next year the world championships are in Turkmenistan. Nobody wants to go there, so I'm going to get myself a few world titles."

Happy Rebirthday Totallympics Cheers to everyone who's been here since day 1 of the new Totallympics and to everyone who came here after that

The MotoGP season opener in Qatar next week has been cancelled. https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2020/03/01/motogp-class-cancelled-at-the-grand-prix-of-qatar/326209 Moto2 and Moto3 will go ahead, since all the riders and teams were already in Qatar because of a test a few days ago.

2012 and 2016 RS:X Olympic champion Dorian van Rijsselberghe has announced his retirement after failing to qualify for Tokyo 2020 (i.e. winning only silver at the world championships ). He said he's just not in the right mindset anymore to give everything for the sport and said a gold medal "is worth a lot to me, but not my marriage", so he's going to focus on family life. He's also said he is going to aid Badloe in his quest to be the new Olympic champion.

I'm not much of a follower of Paralympic powerlifting, meaning you must be a big one if I've actually heard of your name, like is the case with Rahman...RIP

I don't know who would have deserved it more though then, it's not like Walther and Lochner were clean four times

John Morgan had to hurry off to catch his plane or what? That's some poor planning It was great to hear him again though

How was it undeserved? He made mistakes, but held them in check better than the others.. And yeah, great we don't have a tie for gold

Which is not entirely impossible to understand, although it might have been better to keep with only northern Italy for now. I don't see people of those nationalities as personal infectors or something, but a shitload of cases are traceable to specific areas and then it's only logical to try and prevent the spread from said areas.

Yeah, if we're going to put lockdowns on cities for a handful of cases of every virus, the world comes to a crashing halt. Remember it's not like there were already thousands of confirmed cases there at that time.

I'm amazed they manage to actually stay friendly enough to still always be roomies Wouldn't always expect that with the walking testosteron bombs sprinters usually are

The easy thing for the Chinese government is that they don't have to give a crap about human rights, and they don't. That makes it a whole lot easier to control whatever does or does not come out, for example.

Seitaro Ichinohe is the first Japanese rider on the male allround podium since legendary Keiji Shirahata in 1997, what a race

And that's 10 cases in the Netherlands

Zabelinskaya

Yeah, ok, good point

"This is not a classic Janine Flock run, is it?" Yes, Martin, that was exactly a classic Janine Flock run.

Both Who on earth gives a flying fuck about our little, globally meaningless countries?

Emotional goodbye for Havard Bøkko, what a career. Too bad this is how it ended, but he has given us a lot of good things to watch.

We've got 7 too and here the hype is getting a bit bigger There's a press conference at 15.30 today, let's see if all hell has broken loose.

Weird non-news headline and even weirder they introduce a whole new form of writing 'corona'
