    Yeah, CNN+ was comically short-lived. I don’t know anyone who wanted it. Their channel model was 24/7 news, even with some peripheral shows, I don’t think interest was ever there. CNN+ was a dumb failure, but nothing beats the rise and fall of Quibi when it comes to streaming apps.

    I don’t think there’s a hard deadline. IOC has a lot of power when it comes to who can participate at the Games. They may set a deadline for themselves, but as prior situations have shown, those can be permeable if it benefits the IOC.

    Playing “Where is Carmen Sindo at X sporting event” is one of my favorite side activities that has come about thanks to Totallympics

    Finalized completion schedule should be released in the next few days, with the torch relay beginning on September 8th. Link: https://www.hangzhou2022.cn/En/presscenter/spotnews/latestnews/202308/t20230828_70592.shtml

    Just wait until someone starts the “Religions Thread”
  8. Olympian1010
    It’s totally normal thread for a totally normal group of people General Thread really is life’s box of chocolates though 😅

    California gets a walk-off home run to win the Little League Series. They beat in the final. If I’ve said it a million times, I’ve probably said it a billion times; California is the best state in the Union. All the fake ass states can shove it. (Okay, maybe overboard there, but we don’t get a lot of opportunities to beat other state’s champions in sports.)

    Giro coverage in the US has been on FloSports or GCN the few years. Vuelta and Le Tour are covered by NBC. I feel like the Giro has the worst host broadcast coverage. LV/LT also seem to attract more prominent GC riders in my opinion.

    Some drama at the bonus point on today’s stage. Organizers weren’t sure about the order and asked spectators for phone videos. https://x.com/raulbanqueri/status/1695826032136261855?s=46&t=eeNhSzi4Rylqjvpt-IBinQ The Giro is the weakest grand tour, but this one is becoming a bit of a joke.

    I actually think this one of the best qualification systems. The ICF has maximized the hell out of their quotas. Yes, it’s a bit convoluted and confusing, but ultimately it provides a fair amount of opportunity with a very limited pool of quotas.

    All these European users complain about a lack of medals, but clearly it isn’t that hard. I mean…just look at and

    “The noose tightens” seems a bit extreme for a highlights title, no?
  15. Olympian1010
    W C1 200m might be the only event where a majority of quotas don’t go to Europe. Pan America has the upper hand there.

    They did NOT stick the landing on this one. The season started out okay, but the last few episodes were confusing and rushed. Too bad.
  17. Olympian1010
    WTF? How horrible. I can’t believe they would continue with festivities, let alone the Games.
  18. Olympian1010
    I’m not sure about the rules in situations like this, but I imagine India will be fine given that your NOC remains unsuspended.

    If the diarrhea that is spewing out of your month is also collecting in the water then it may be unsafe to paddle.

    Horrible organization in Germany. I guess they’re all too busy race walking around to organize something worthwhile. I bet if they brought back the former GDR coaches this wouldn’t have happened. Although, if their paddlers increase their stroke rate to match the rate a which a certain user spews ignorant bullshit, they might win a few medals.

    Cornhole is mostly a backyard/tailgate game, but there is a televised professional circuit. (My Dutch colleague was amazed to see it being shown in bar in Birmingham last summer.) Spikeball is a newer sport that also originally caught on as a backyard/tailgate game, but now has a professional circuit.

    I don’t know…you guys still throw pretty good tantrums (just check the “General Thread”)
  23. Olympian1010
    You forgot his European Games title. There isn’t an event more important than that in athletics

    Must have left an offering at the Temple of Hophaestus

    now has three jumpers with standard (if they already did not). They might be one of only a few nations to pull that off.
