  1. This week I learned one can start in qualifying and get to the semi's, so you never know
  2. Thanks. Well, true or not, I do like seeing a woman from Iran starting to compete in a 'new sport', so there's that
  3. I don't complain when people call things like "the white race is superior" (Coubertin's kind of ideas) racist You know, because it is.
  4. Not really, blatant racism - so loved by Coubertin - is still very much alive
  5. @MHSN Any media attention in Iran about Sadaf Khadem? I read she became the first Iranian woman ever to compete in boxing this week (in France), but now has cancelled her trip back to Iran........because she'd be arrested there either for boxing or for boxing without hijab (of course that's what media here is reporting, I'm hoping there's some nuance to this..)
  6. Cheering for underwater hockey, but booing e-sports, meh. If there is one multi-sports event where e-sports should/could have a legit place, it's the Asian Games.
  7. This confuses me so much. On one hand, changing the distribution to condoms made of a more environment-friendly material is of course good. On the other hand, using the term 'single-use condoms' is frightening. Does he mean they're now gonna hand out condoms you're supposed to wash out or something and use again? The fuck. Literally.
  8. Since it started at 18:00 apparently, I think I was having dinner. Had I known beforehand that it'd take place at that time (but apparently nobody was interested here, since nobody mentioned "hey, this is gonna happen") I would of course have turned on the TV..
  9. Yeah, I saw he was attempting (and eventually doing) it a half hour after he finished and am still fucking mad the whole thing was on such a terrible time/day. I get it, time difference, but a Tuesday? Really? Awesome he did it, terribly sad I missed the moment Wiggins was finally kicked off the throne.
  10. You do know that was definitely not live, right? It was last week
  11. Can we have a compilation post of @bestmen bitching about compilation posts?
  12. Rhythmic gymnastics? I very strongly doubt that. Much like dressage for example, if you have no knowledge of it you've got no idea what the hell is going on. At least in sports like swimming or athletics one can simply see who finished first or jumped the highest or something.
  13. Ah, I saw 28 people died but wondered if anyone famous was born somewhere near where that happened. Thanks.
  14. So that's what was annoying me! I knew something was different but couldn't quite put my finger on it
  15. It depends. Repairs and additions have been made since it was finished, the thing that collapsed was half a millennium younger than the main structure for example. Almost no old building like this has been untouched since the building finished.
  16. I'm European, yet it's not my history. It's the history of, in this case, Paris and France.
  17. Nah, but that's usually the group of people who always comes up with 'wake up!!' and saying everyone who doesn't see 'it' is 'sleeping' or 'looking away'.
  18. I didn't say religion, I said/marked cultural differences The likes of Mao, Stalin, Hitler or the people behind the Rwandan or Armenian genocide definitely had some sort of cultural difference with their victims.
  19. Why do players like Cristiano have to be such incredibly poor examples for children? Every single time he misses a header, next thing he does is scream as if someone just attempted to murder him
  20. Come on Ajax, finish it off and take revenge after all this time
  21. If it was that easy, 99% of the world's wars would not have needed to be fought With the exception of the 'I want to be king, no I want to be king' kind of wars of long ago
