First video of the damage on Abaco, it's very bad. And what's worse: one can wonder if the people walking around realize that the worst part of the hurricane is still to come! It's just the eye that's passing, during which the weather is pretty calm, but when the other side of the wall comes through...you do not want to be outside anymore..

No way that tweet is actually from now and/or Florida, since the hurricane isn't really there yet

Myriam Nicole with an incredible world title after many months of injury

Women's DH is going on now

And to be more on-topic: easy win for the Dutch women against Greece, they gave away some set points but fine, that wasn't too hard.

Well you've got for example a ball. This is a ball: And also a base, which might look like this:

Strike? Is that a street hockey thing or something?

Sounds as weird to you as earning money by playing ice hockey (or even more, floorball/street hockey/ball hockey/street ball hockey/ice ball hockey/street ice hockey) sounds here

Major floods rushing through the streets already and it is far from over for the Bahamas. In fact, the whole thing is still gaining strength, which is just insane.

With an exception being races where there's no qualifying, although an unbreakable tie for bronze in the marathon or 50k race walk or road cycling or something is pretty rare

Not entirely, silver was actually the medal they gave to the winners at first (with copper for the runners-up)

It's not like the IOC is going to base their decisions on it Since you can see who votes what, we can see who is just wrong

Movistar vs Movistar vs Movistar

The entire Atlantic Ocean is apparently falling down on the final climb in Andorra and so there's no live images from the race anymore. It's a big mystery what's going on in the race, even the race radio has gone down. Too bad, because right about now they should be on a pretty awesome part of non-asphalt

With 10 bronzes you've got 0 Olympic champions..

Interesting 'chaser' to follow, he's right where the eyewall is about to hit.

Except for in certain Carribean islands, where parts were totally wiped off the map. I remember Dominica (I think) for example being completely isolated for a few days, until slowly some radio amateurs managed to contact the outside world and tell that there were no trees or houses left standing. Those northern islands of the Bahamas are going to look like an absolute wasteland when Dorian has passed, it's as good as flat so the wind can do whatever it 'wants' and with sustained winds going ever nearer to 200 MPH (yes, it's still intensifying...that's insanely scary) there's not much that can withstand that, certainly no trees or regular buildings. I fear for the lives of people who have been posting some videos to social media from their house in those areas..

Yeah it's not the most populated area of the Bahamas, but people do live there and this is an absolute monster of a hurricane, one of the strongest ever in the entire Atlantic. The simple but sad truth is: people who for whatever reason didn't manage to evacuate - which of course is not always possible for some people, sadly - have a very serious chance to not be alive anymore come tomorrow morning.

First ever New Zealand world title in the women's eight

Or sprint canoeing.

Top-6 for all boats (apart from the eights of course), for every other boat that takes a quota but no top-6, there are extra rules. One of the following results next year: - Top-3 in World Cup 1 - Top-4 in World Cup 2 - Top-5 in World Cup 3 - Top-5 in the European championships / top-4 for women

Synek out of the podium for the first time since 2005 (?) And damn, Broenink got close to the first Dutch M1x medal since 1966, but that was some race from all guys!

Exactly.

No idea I don't care so much about the total number of medals, as long as the athletes themselves do well
