Is bocce different than the Paralympic boccia event?

Crap, boulder finals today already. I'm a little behind on watching the season and am now finishing up the Wujiang boulder World Cup Still Munich, Vail, Villars, Chamonix and Briançon to go (not sure which of those are boulder as well, apart from Munich which is)

That very much depends on the person. Tiny example: a (very) black skier in the Brazilian team who everyone in the team, very much including himself (who generally starts it), often 'makes fun' of. In good spirits, of course. Sure, you can't assume everyone is just as light-hearted and laughs so easily, but still.

Yeah but I mean also about other kind of things. For example in cycling or football a thread for transfer could be interesting, just to mention an easy example off the top of my head.

Might be why he's wanted, the better dealers shouldn't do drugs

I think people, including me, are too afraid of opening new threads because at some point it'll probably be shoved into a general thread anyway

I am so glad the days of threads like that on the regular forum are gone That was just unreadable. Today's Totallympics

WTF, how on earth did yesterday get the most posts of every non-TISC day this year? It was one of the slower sports weekend days of the year for me (which means I was mostly just watching one sport at a time from 08:00 to 22:30 or something)

I have no words to describe how much I hate that format, so I'm just gonna say I hate that format

Wait, this is one of those phony tournaments were there's a difference between the groups in terms of what one needs to do in terms of qualifying and such?

Since they didn't win yesterday and it's their debut, that is correct

Floyd Landis, known for getting the yellow in the Tour de France of 2006, then losing 8 minutes in the next stage by some absolute disaster (didn't eat well enough they said, probably the doping had some adverse effect)....only to win the next stage with an epic solo taking back almost everything he had lost the very next day (after this stage he tested positive, it turned out later, much to the surprise of nobody) Now he has a team I think @Olympian1010 has a favourite cycling team now.

I'm the same

How does copy-paste take significantly longer than writing country codes? It's not a complaint by the way, I'm just curious since it doesn't seem to make much of a difference in terms of effort needed

Something I've often wondered: why just flags in these overviews and not names? It's an individual sport...so it's about the athletes, not the flags

I'm calling the police right now

Ooooooh scandal @Dragon is in the news https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-49318050

Yes.

Ah, the main event of the FIS calendar

So after Madiea Ghafoor was caught with millions worth of drugs to sell, the next one is already there Dutch sprinter Roelf Bouwmeester (national level, reached the final of the 100m at the NCh recently) has been arrested at the Sziget music festival in Hungary with 450 bottles of drugs, 1kg of XTC and an undisclosed amount of marijuana which he and a friend were selling there. Police got a little suspicious when way too many people went in there tent with money in hand and came out with little packages The fuck are they doing

One thing that would help is a link to the article and something like a date I mean, several articles you post are literally years old (one today was more than 7 years old), it would be nice to know which ones are 'news' and which ones are just old stuff

Seriously, poking fun at a culture has led to insanely angry reactions all over, so don't go and say that's not as bad (in my opinion it's not, and this whole volleyball players thing isn't even worth mentioning neither and is just a matter of seeking problems where they're not, but the discussion is there so here we go).

Why is an Asian qualifier even in Valkenswaard of all places?
