Sweat, obviously  

And in today's news: she's going with the 'it came from sex' defense. So they're throwing her partner Race Imboden under the bus, but considering he is retired anyway, I'm sure he doesn't care  
 
Dutch media for some reason seems to have a weird focus on specifically mentioning oral sex. Like they want to make it more, you know, juicy

John Heymans has been talking about how he wrote a computer script to qualify for the Olympics in only 4 races
https://www.runnersworld.com/nl/nieuws/a46591071/heymans-olympische-spelen-chatgpt/
 
Basically, he expected he'd run around 13:15, and he was going entirely for the world ranking qualification pathway instead of the time limits. He entered all athletes who ran 13:15 in the past 5-6 years, ran their results through his script to basically see how many points they got in which races. Some more statistical analysis and stuff was done on the data, and in the end the script gave him a handful of races as best options to score an optimal amount of points...which is what he did, and so he rose on the world ranking all the way to a qualifying spot with only 4 races

Yeah, that's the problem. I understand and agree with 1 athlete per weight class rule. the current format says 2 (out of 4) per gender. you can have a full team only if all of them finish in top 5 (or in some cases 6) of the world ranking which is really hard. lots of athletes in top 10 of World ranking will miss the Olympic because their NOCs already qualified 2. 
 
Taekwondo entered the Olympics back in 2000, at the time it was all Korea, IOC made this rule to prevent Korea from winning easy 8 gold medals. but this is not the same anymore. Korea struggles to even qualify lots of athletes.

It'd be something...missing one Olympics by choice, missing another due to injury...and then actually going to one because of escaping a significant doping ban  

And now his ex-wife (they divorced before they died), / volleyball player Ruxandra Dumitrescu has passed away at age 46 from cardiac arrest. She was originally from Romania but got Greek citizenship after many years playing in our women's league (17 in total but she got citizenship after 7 years), played for the Greek women's national team at Athens 2004 as well.
 
They had a son together also, he is probably not even a teenager yet, so sad for him to grow up without parents...

Oh nice, a whole back and forth about a person who prefers to be called 'they' instead of 'her'. Even the 'what is a lock?' discussion was more useful  

Yeah, I can very much understand people having this in their top-3 and understand people having this in their bottom-3, but anything in between...impossible  You either really dislike it or really like it  

One day we'll look back at the Olympic history and go "yeah kids, there were times when people got Olympic medals for stuff like literature, break dancing and painting"

Right, I think my list is finalized after switching the top-3 around like a hundred times (and those behind it quite a few times as well). Now let's see which songs are of which nations  
 
Excellent overall quality, often I struggle a bit to find 12 songs I do want to give points, but now there's roughly 20 songs I've had in my top-12 at one point or another...

Me? No way, one needs to be an absolute madman to maintain statistics like that  
 
We have our celebrated God of TISC, @OlympicIRL, for that role  

I'm increasingly tempted to change the gender markers on my passports to an X purely to annoy certain people xD

Taylor might want to run for president one day, plenty of Charisma....
 
Sorry.
