Also, I’m American and I don’t understand the domestic/international craze for this sport. The prevalence of serious injuries and long game time with intermittent action don’t do it for me. I do see the cultural appeal to many people in the US, so I watch it as a causal fan mostly.

Yes, they use one of their four downs, but they don’t lose field position. Plus, an “incomplete pass” stops the clock from ticking down.

We’re heading to overtime

I didn’t vibe with the Halftime show much, but I really liked last year’s, so maybe I expected to much.

This is essentially the point I was making about reallocations in canoe slalom. The hierarchy of the allocations can change the outcome. However, I'm not sure Israel has a winning argument here. I don't see that in the language regarding the host country quota. The text (from the version I viewed [25.01.2023]) states, "next highest placed athlete(s)." It doesn't seem to restrict NOCs with one quota from being allocated a second. In terms of the reallocation of Oceania's quota, I do think they are correct about the language. However, I think they are wrong about the hierarchy. Oceania's quota technically can't be allocated at the same time as the other quotas, since it doesn't have some of the contingencies bestowed to those. I believe it would trigger the formal reallocation process outlined in section F, which (in my analysis of the document and results) would result in the quota being awarded to . Of course, this post is based on my interpretation of the qualification document, which could be flawed.

There's a handful on YouTube. Just search "Sochi 2014 Full Replays."

I thought annexed Tasmania according to recent activity on Totallympics

A key player picking up an injury after you’ve already qualified is a legitimate concern though.

They needed a new anglophone friend after voted to leave

It might also depend how the ICF applies that rule. If Algeria is still considered unqualified, then there are 3 athletes attendance.

all winning quotas? I fucking love taekwondo

I can always count on them to send something a little different. It really is a shame that Europe hasn’t rewarded them more.

I’m starting to think this track is cursed for skeleton athletes. It’s the same track where two athletes ran into a brooms left in the track. Edit: I need to make a correction to my original post. The paper fan incident was at Altenberg. It was in fact another broom incident that happened at Igls.

I actually like the Paris 2024 medals in comparison to a lot of these. Tokyo 2020 and Beijing 2008 are probably at the top of my list.

Fixed it

Does anyone have recommendations to watch before the upcoming Goya Awards? I’ve already seen 20,000 Species and Society of the Snow. Close Your Eyes and Robot Dreams are on my list to watch. I’m oblivious to everything else (other than the International films) or ignored them due to mixed reviews.

World Aquatics seems to be particularly bad at wording qualification documents.

Harsh, but okay

There is a possible situation where all end on 4 points.

Logo reveal for the 2026 CAC Games.

@Vektor inspired me to look at my all-time stats. I’ve participated in 11 editions (one more than him ). Juries I’ve given the most points too… 1. - 53 2. - 51 3. - 46 4. - 43 5. - 39 are the only juries to not score points from me in those editions. got close last edition. No jury has ever won my 12 points more than once. all received 12 points from me despite their limited participation. No jury has received points from me in all 11 editions. has been one of my reserves four times.

Honestly, having another NOC would be refreshing.

100m Free should at least have a good amount of the universality swimmers, so hopefully it won't be comical (like the women's 200m IM in Tokyo).

You can always count on the French to go with something original. I would agree that the front looks “clunky,” but I think these will grow on me over time. I love the nods to the art-deco movement.

No, that’s still the backside. They have similar frontsides.
