This is not a full retirement, but kind of a break/sabbatical due to...reasons.
 
 For those who have been following @brunamoura's journey towards and last February eventually, finally, at the Olympics, this might be an interesting update. The 2030 Olympics are still in her sight, but next year's world championships in February seem...unlikely.
 
She still needs to do at least two surgeries, one on her nasal cavities due to a chronic inflammation that has been bothering her for years, and one on her legs. In the Olympic season she struggled immensely with pain in her legs, which in the freestyle technique made her sometimes just not even able to move and therefore finish or even start the races. The Olympic 10k freestyle was hard and painful, but she managed to get through it. We knew she was dealing with compartment syndrome, which is quite serious and certainly needs to be dealt with surgically, but the recovery time for that meant that doing so during the season would likely jeopardize the Olympics - again.
 
The plan was to do the surgeries this year, but that's unlikely to happen now...

The....uh....well, yeah, there was this event in Milano-Cortina which I'm still watching almost daily
 
Got some ice hockey, curling, figure skating, bobsleigh and ski cross to go I believe.

For those interested in such things, recently tried this and I'd say this is hands down the best wine I have ever tried, damn that is amazing
 
It was a little hard to get after trying it, but managed to find a place to order it, so there's two more coming my way next week

Awesome. Congrats 

That's great, congratulations to both of you! I wish her a good recovery.

Oh ! Please Mr. the vicepresident please come to visit our country before our elections as well ! 
 

Congratulations Hungary
 

This also kind of showed, like last year, the biggest flaw of Pogacar: technique and bike control. The way he was wrestling himself through curve after curve where natural talents like Van Aert and Van der Poel (cyclocross greats, no coincidence) were flying through.

Phenomenal Paris - Roubaix, phenomenal finish, phenomenal winner
 
Finally Van Aert took it, 8 years after he first did the race and had a teammate die in it he could now point up to the sky for his buddy
 

Wout Van Aert  FINALLY! 

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?
