It was their best chance, for both of them, although apparently Cristian is not entirely without a chance in the 10k.

So about that... 

Nowadays he is generally in a league of his own, also when the Chinese compete  
 
Bruna was in touch with the para team's coach yesterday (her very first coach of many years ago and former Olympian Leandro Ribela), and there are no issues or anything. If he's indeed healthy and doesn't fall, he should be at least a 90% favourite or so. If not more.

Whoops, I was taking a nap and missed these posts.
 
I'll try to join in next weekend if there's still a game happening.

I don't know if Romele has been somewhat sick or injured for the past two years, but if not, one may - judged by every recent competition - reasonably expect him to be 5-10 seconds behind Cristian (perhaps not in qualifying, but in the finals, yeah)  

Wiklund is Norway's first female all round world champion since 1938
 

 
88 years, but still, close enough

Martina Sablikova did so today. It was awesome, goosebumps when in her last lap of the 3k she just got up and started a well deserved lap of honor with a standing ovation from the Thialf crowd. Like she said, there's no way she would say goodbye anywhere else.
 
So odd, literally more than half my life I've seen Sablikova as part of all major championships. What a legend.

This is so cool! El Salvador at Winter Paralympics!!!
 
Good luck!!
 

It's very sad, because for Paralympic athletes, this moment represents the little visibility they get.

So you have decided to leave Totallympics, considering there's no way that runs without US products?

Plenty of people here as well who would, in the same line, want to see USA, Iran, Israel (Sudan?) banned, for example.

Woke up to some awesome news this morning...
 
I've been included on the AIPS Awards long list for young reporters (writing) for the second year in a row, along with two of my co-workers: https://www.aipsmedia.com/aips/pages/articles/2026/37683.html

I'll check it out later, but with any kind of future prediction claim: take it with an entire salt mine, and even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Never played myself but watched videos of competitive players. Guys watching some traffic lights and saying 'yeah, this is inner Mongolia" and so on.

Before we go all big, are people somewhat familiar with GeoGuessr? Personally I already was for a while, but only recently I started playing every now and then and found it kind of fun.
 
The main premise is super easy: you get a random Streetview image and you have to pinpoint, on a world map, where you are. That can be Times Square, it can be some alley in Rwanda, who knows. You can play alone, of course, but also one on one or in a bigger party.
 
To start a party or another online game, you need a subscription. To join, you don't, you only need the link. I have a subscription, so as far as I am concerned, anyone interested could join and we can go for a couple rounds.
 
Anyone in?

Apparently a building of the Assembly of Experts was hit, where they may or may not have been meeting to choose a new leader. I do kind of refuse to believe these people were actually so unimaginably dumb to actually have a meeting in their building during a bombing campaign. Surely not?

Roy Jones Jr has his 1988 Olympic gold medal, because his opponent in that final didn't consider himself the winner.
 
 

I mean, it's undoubtedly done for some shady reason like distracting from the Epstein files or something, but whatever the reason, at least Trump and his buddies finally did something actually...kind of good. Most angry reactions come from terrorist organizations or questionable dictators and that's about it.

Iran denounced "war crime" in the UN
 
 

Now confirmed by the Iranian government.
