Dal 27 al 31 gennaio 2020 ci sarà una tappa di Coppa del Mondo di sollevamento pesi a Roma, valida per il ranking olimpico come categoria "silver"

So punishing proven cheaters is now a political decision? While letting them go scot-free would be fair and NOT political?
 
Always the same boring narrative. "Russians should not be punished for their proven fraudulent cover-up of a fraud (...) because, get this, there are maybe probably more cheaters out there."
 
This would be just dandy in real life. "Your Honor, even though there is undeniable evidence, I believe my client should get away with murder, since there are surely murderers out there who never went to jail."

RUSADA declaration: “We will organize our own Olympic Games, with blackjack and hookers! Better, without Olympic Games. And blackjack!”
 
ok, I’m sorry but I couldn’t resist 

Gontier is why the Italians like the mixed relay so much - it keeps her in the stands.

nope unless you calculate it yourself (I did it only for athletes in question)
 
and I don't think WT publishes the full ranking before January 2020.

I don't think I've ever even used a necktie  

Step one is going to be googling what on earth a Windsor knot is.

There was a 13 year old  swimmer in Rio, so I would imagine yes.

She would definitely be allowed to compete. Ledecky won her first medal when she as 15 I believe.
Yes, I believe FINA as said that athletes in Aquatics must be 13 years old and older.

Nah, that is easy: when I was at my first year of university I used to remember atomic weights of some element up to the fourth decimal. Then I got old and decided to start making chocolate

Which is why a possibly slighly failed homemade bunch of chocolates mght be more appreciated than one easily bought in a shop

What about an Orange Cream or Vanilla Cream? Those are my favorites.

Changes incoming for parade of nations during opening ceremonies in Olympic Games: while Greece will still open the parade and host nation will close it, known future host of the games will precede the host country of the Games in the parade. So, in Tokyo 2020, :USA USA will be the third-last (LA 2028), France second-last (Paris 2024) and Japan obviously last. In Beijing 2022, Italy will be second-last and China will close the ceremony as usual.
 
mah. I really cannot understand the need for this.

IOC changed Olympic parade order, with future host nations entering right before the current host, how stupid is that.

Just posting to say thanks to @dcro for all the posts in this thread. Really incredible work. 

On the bright side: that makes it even more clear it was their wax that was great in the morning, not their veins  

But then you get a nice fruit salad.

I see it differently...as I wrote, I'm a damn old conservative traditionalist...
 
I don't like combined events at all...it's like mixing pears and apples...

Or, IOC can finally decide to give granted host quotas in all sports without creating further mess, as Sailing and judo do

Both the qualifications and finals will be streamed live on Youtube from 28 November to 1 December.
 
Fans can join the conversation on Twitter with the hashtag, #IFSCToulouse or #ClimbToTokyo.

Oh and I know Fuzhou is not exactly a great, important race, but still you don't often see Mongolian winners in pretty international races. Jambaljamats Sainbayar won today  
 

Recent History. October 10, 2019
 
This Cambodian fan covered 6,000 km to support his country against Iran.
Cambodia lost 14-0, but the man constantly cheered on his idols, up to 90 minutes

Did they use a vacuum cleaner?
