Pogacar facing ten years in notorious tropical penal colony!   Only joking, a fine and a possible driving ban, of all things.
 
According to Belgian media,, external the riders could reportedly face fines ranging from 320 euros (£280) to 4,000 euros (£3,500) and driving bans of eight days.

Here I definitely did. Logically, it's a historic step towards something that goes way, way further than the 60's and 70's programs. Awesome to finally see things are moving that way for real now.

In under a minute humans are being launched towards the moon for the first time in 53 years
 

Some interesting archeological/historical news: the legendary French musketeer d'Artagnan may have been found in a church in  Maastricht (where he died during a 17th century battle).

Except for the British tabloid and way too many online trolls :/

Nope. Whether or not they were was never even a serious question, to be fair.

People focus on trans people because it's easier to pinpoint the affected athletes. Meanwhile it's the athletes with (suspected) DSDs that will have tougher time to convince the authorities and the public opinion that they belong to women's sports.

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

I'm amazed how close you got in most of them  

Oh god, the cross-country skiing is done by one of those typical English-language generic commentators again
 
Keeps calling the Icelandic lady Arna Albertsdottir 'the Australian Lauren Parker'.
 
Mind you, Parker won Paralympic gold in triathlon in Paris so should be somewhat recognizable or known to a professional commentator. Mind you again, when he started with that, which was when Albertsdottir was coming up to a split time, the graphics clearly showed Parker's time as currently fastest with Albertsdottir's time still counting (hence, it was her we were looking at).
 
Oh, and the lady he keeps calling Lauren Parker (from Australia) has 'ICELAND' written on her suit.

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)

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.

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