Olympian1010

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.

In case anyone missed this news earlier today.

qualified in men's floorball after beating at the qualification event.

I guess the memes after his retirement might be coming full cirlce then @heywoodu

Pretty easy to calculate who leads the medal table @thepharoah

Yes, that is what a lot of them say. Some bar associations put out assessments of the candidate's credentials, so I may take those into account. Some judges will also explain their ideas when it comes to sentencing (ie. correctional support v. long sentences), while other's provide long personal bios about their attachments/service to the community for people to consider.

Koeck won the women's alpine combined by +6.35 seconds

I haven't seen any info about that yet, but we're still a few days out from the rest of the sports beginning.

I believe they were at one point, but they campaign unaffiliated now. I generally go to their campaign websites and view their platforms/qualifications and endorsements.

We've elected/voted-to-confirm judges since statehood (according to info I found on the matter), so it's how our government was set up from the beginning in California. The process has changed over time, but it's a core aspect of our democratic system. Some judges we elect through vote, while other judges are proposed by the Governor and then comfirmed or not confirmed through a vote. As I've said before, voters have a lot of power in California. We can recall (force a vote on whether or not to remove an elected official from office) any elected state officials, including judges (though we've never recalled a judge). Citizen-groups can gather signatures and propose amendments to the State Constitution without ever involving elected representatives. They can also gather signatures to force referendums on legislation passed by elected officials.

Cast my votes for TISC, and then cast my votes in the primary round of elections in California Pretty slim ballot by our standards this time around. I only had to vote on 17 positions (mostly judges) and 1 proposition.

with a -30 goal difference after three matches in women's futsal

Also, what's with table tennis being held so early on the schedule? Is there a conflict, or just weird scheduling?

How were they even allowed to enter five athletes?

I'll take and for the festival of music

Already in my top three Eurotrash with a vague poltical message? Please take some votes
