    Mahgreb cleaned up in karate. I knew the region was good in the sport, but damn.
  2. Olympian1010
    There's a world outside Totallympics?

    I think that joke is more true of Taco Bell than Chipotle, but I haven't eaten at Chipotle since the foodbourne illness incidents.

    100% the sterotype it gets in the US, if you add in windmills.
  5. Olympian1010
    I wouldn't really consider that the main sterotype of Europeans in the states. The main sterotypes would be based around the access to healthcare, ancient history, and high cuisine/fasion.

    My family does eat out a lot, so we're not a good example. However, we have family friends who rarely eat fast food. There's also a great deal varriance in the kind of fast food people our consuming. In California, designer fast food chains are popular (build your own sandwich [Jersey Mikes, Firehouse Subs, Jimmy Johns], build your own burritos [Chipotle], build your own pizza [Blaze Pizza, Pieology, MOD Pizza], etc.). Of course, burger chains, fried chicken chains, and more ominbus chains are popular too.

    Well, our culture is more than those two things. Plus, there's a lot of difference from state to state.

    Yes, but the desire to have a bunch of senior citizens race is definetly an American trait
  9. Olympian1010
    This is generally the sterotype you get when asking Europeans about America

    It's probably not terrible comapred to other Olympic sports, but comaprative to college or professional sports, there isn't as much coverage, marketing, etc. (generally). International sports also just don't seem to draw US audiences they way they draw audiences else where in the world. It could be down to poor marketing or high competition from other sporting/cultural events, but I'm not sure in that regard.

    It's a great venue for spectating. There isn't a lot of natural obstruction, so you can see most of the race. The mass start and relays are awesome.

    The race is being held mid-day Friday. People probably have work, school, and other business. Plus, biathlon doesn't have a lot of publicity in the United States, even if there is a dedicated community. The weekend will hopefully bring more curious locals, toursits, etc.

    I still found a good amount of Athens 2004 merch on sale when I visited last year

    Undeniably Greek, but it does remind me a lot of similar ethno-pop entries “Unicorn,” “Fuego,” “Cleopatra.” If the performance is good, it will probably end up in my top 10, or at least threatening it.

    African Union YouTube Channel has a livestream scheduled for the opening ceremony tomorrow: https://www.youtube.com/live/L7uVd1PkHZE?si=mLSZhjgvWfRn2llA

    Just wanted to give an official Totallympics welcome to couple of new users @anshul agrawal @cainjb94 @Luckyloser @Duki1994 @Timezone

    Unless some streaming becomes available tomorrow, it looks like this will be the second time in a row where there's more reliable coverage of the Pacific Games than the African Games

    Wild start to the Iditarod sleddog race this year. A moose was allegedly punched, and one was definitely shot, killed, and gutted. Unfortunately, the musher who had to kill the moose was assessed a time penalty because race organizers deemed he didn’t gut it correctly.
