Well that sucks so bad. So a legitimate medal contender will be kicked out and replaced by someone who will finish 5+ minutes behind, 'because continents'. IOC, you suck balls.

You mean they'll replace Luxembourg's second time trial rider or won't LUX have any? Surely that can't be true?

Well, I'm in.

Will someone keep track of the number of transfers someone has made?

Finish of the pursuit in São Carlos, where @brunamoura beat Maria Cecilia Dominguez of Argentina after an insane race. Started twenty seconds behind, closed the gap on the climbs in the first kilometer, opened a gap on the big climb that followed, but had to slow down and Dominguez came back. She went straight into the Argentinian's back for the second-to-last straight, which goes slightly uphill but, more importantly, had a strong headwind. Opened the sprint a tiny bit too early, but then again, it turned out perfectly. The race should not have been 50 meters longer, Dominguez was closing in fast in the last 50 meters or so.

And then a boycot, followed by skateboarding being removed already. Done.

I'm at least hoping for a combination of both, and not some sort of regular 'cool' t-shirt with jeans down to their knees. At least try to make it look a little bit Olympic..

And not one mention of Goku

Yeah, I saw it's both park and street. Somehow I'm used to thinking it's kinda the same thing

Which weekend?

#2, with a note that there should be a back-up at all times, considering how vulnerable the servers used by Totallympics generally are.

Reading 'old' threads pays off, today I learned Thomas Bach is an Olympic gold medalist in fencing

And when did she do that?

One nation can qualify 12 (!) skateboarders for the Olympics? I thought there were only going to be one men's event and one women's event..

Right, didn't follow anything so far yet due to my travel, but I'm interested in watching some spoilerfree highlights, so here we go. I'm assuming by now we've arrived at the World Series, so: which teams played in the ALCS and which teams played in the NLCS? If I know that, I might be able to watch those series in highlight form without knowing the results yet

Too bad, Onur Balkan at least last year had some slightly interesting results here and there (outside Turkey, that is), but he too is nowadays doing pretty much the same thing - spamming Turkish races.

Which is a good thing, at least Belarus has a pretty good cyclist and a decent one to back him up. Turkey has...well, nobody, really.

But I've just been told we have legitimate medal hopes...

So there is just a tiny World Cup series, having three continental championships would have been unique, it being a demo sport in the Youth Olympics has been cancelled....yet they want to be included in the Olympics within a handful of years? No way, that is way too early. Get everything in order first..

Nah, betting on luge (and bobsleigh/skeleton) is usually only possible during the Olympics at the international bookmakers and even then only on a few of them. During World Cup seasons I've only ever seen it at Russian Marathonbet. Taubitz might not drive as perfectly as Geisenberger, she'll be the top German athlete which is always an advantage and she's still just better than most others.

Good news in a sad way. She had suffered enough and now can hopefully finally find the peace she wanted so badly. Sleeping one hour a night again and again simply because the pain is so excruciating is no way to live.

Right, time to find a bookmaker with luge season bets. I'd like this on Taubitz please.

Missed that Doesn't sound like it was planned

Are you at least a Super Saiyan?

Dude, and you missed that opportunity to run a marathon under two hours which you could probably have done right after drinking whatever Astana has in their bottle?
