If you mention it, someone has to post it. There are unwritten rules that cannot be broken sir

Spain 12

Anyone have the bookmakers odds on this? Also, what are the odds of Algeria doing something stupid during the grand final? Has the host jury increased security?

Apparently, though if there’s any conflict with the World Games, I’ll be choosing them over the Olympics because it would be a better opportunity for me.

Well they’re being hosted by the Thailand Skating Federation, so it’s a nice bonus for the federation. I bet they make some money off of it (which is great for a developing winter sport nation).

Well Thailand does have a Skating Federation, and actual skaters that compete in competitions, so...

You live in a country with good unemployment benefits thankfully, I would imagine that not everyone will be so lucky. I’m glad to hear you’re doing okay though

Yeah, I haven’t seen any evidence that makes me go “That Orban guy is a good leader.” I have seen evidence that makes me go “thank god I don’t live in Hungary.”

Sorry to hear that, but at least y’all didn’t find out a month/weeks before the games.

Alright, so looking at the new dates for Tokyo2020, there are only three other multi-sports games who now find themselves in direct competition with the Olympics. One is the Summer EYOF in Slovakia. I don’t see a reason to move this event, it’s for youth athletes anyway. Plus, the EOC don’t make a lot of revenue off the EYOF anyway. The second event now in trouble is the Jeux De La Francophonie. The current dates are July 23 - August 1. Obviously those will have to change if they want any relevance. There is a TV market for these games, so it would be wise to move them. Personally, I want the games to moved into the window between the Summer Olympics and Summer Paralympics. The third event in conflict is the World Games. They end on July 25, so I’d just suggest moving them a week forward. If we did those changes, we’d have a sweet multi-sports games calendar for 2021. We’d have games essentially every day from early May to early September

I was today years old when I learned that the Paraguayan flag has different symbols on the front and back sides

Things like this don’t shock me anymore. We all know he cares about no one but himself. We all know he’s rather incompetent. We all know he’s an ineffectual leader. It just is what it is at this point.

Honestly the ideal way to have a wedding. Should I ever get married (and I don’t intend too), our wedding will private, with only our close family inviting. The ceremony can last no longer then 20 minutes, and we leave straight to a 1 month long honeymoon somewhere far away from anyone that knows us.

That’s what I did on the first day . I wish they would have left the climbs up for people to try after. Apparently media are allowed (or were at least being let) to try the climbs a few hours before the competition. There was one boulder I think I could have given an honest shot.

According to my scores, Galla was out after his lead attempt. I’m pretty confident in those, so maybe the on-screen graphics were off. I’ll have to check scores for future articles. However, the IFSC isn’t exactly blessed with speed when it comes to this sort of thing Yeah, I need to fix the Boulder thing. That’s on me. I still need to figure out some uniform style policies for Totallympics Media. Now for the really odd stuff. I swear the entry lists said Xander Waller. I checked them multiple times throughout the day. I’m beginning to think I can’t trust IFSC published materials Thanks for the feedback. I’m glad these are good articles because both of them were written from 23:00-01:00 on the night the competition ended. I was fully living the journalistic life those days, and I loved every second of it. I thank y’all for giving me the opportunity.

Or don’t do that since it’s causing a shortage for medical professionals who actually need them.

Duffy is also a two time youth-B lead champion, so the other journalists around me had already started writing their stories Duffy’s climb was a bit weaker than I expected it to be. He didn’t look comfortable, and he seemed to lack some confidence.

Guess the Earthquakes are pro-Serbia

What is everyone’s thought on having a group chat? I mean one off the forum (probably on some app like Discord, Slack, Facebook, etc.). Just to keep in touch when the forum goes down, or when people just want have a chat, etc. I’m sure this isn’t a popular idea, but it’s just one I’ve been thinking about lately. Thoughts?

I was just watching an interview with a doctor from Iceland (a country I hold with the highest regard when it comes to medical research) who said that if the virus is spreading faster than testing is possible (to keep numbers down), then testing becomes pointless because it’s just better to let the virus run it’s course at that point. I Just thought it was a interesting point of view worth sharing.

Damn, I only got 2/9 @heywoodu. Guess I’m not very Dutch
