We now know the men’s finalists too: Bailey Galla Duffy Granja Valencia Waller Santos Buhl Grosso This is essentially US national selection with a little added excitement. The Ecuadorians are the strongest speed climbers, so a decent Boulder or Lead could give them a fighting chance. Mexico and Brazil are generally weak, but they’ve managed to create some climber apparently. Mexico could make some inroads in Speed, but he’ll to seriously improve upon his Lead. Brazil is little more than a wall decoration I’m afraid (he actually had a weirdly good Lead performance in Qualification).

Well, most Oceania qualifiers are. A necessary evil.

We’re so fucked Trump (and his allies) have labeled coronavrius as a “Democratic hoax” meant to bring down his first term. Trump has also appointed Mike Pence, a man known for his disbelief in science, as head of the United States response to the disease. It was nice knowing y’all. At least the Chinese and Iranian believe the disease is real.

Now there’s a community case (meaning natural spread within the states) in Oregon. The patient recently visited an elementary school...

Pita! Time to break out the oil (and facemask)

Second in-state case of the coronavrius in California. The patient had not been to any of the infected regions, nor had they been in contact with anyone known to have the disease. Health officials now believe the virus is being transmitted in California in situation similar to Italy, Korea, and Iran. As I said, my fears about the disease are still high, but it was inevitable this would happen. Now, I’ve just got to do my best to heed health warnings to avoid the disease. I still plan to attend the Pan American Championships tomorrow, so hopefully the event will still go forward. So far the cases have both been in Northern California, in some less dense populated areas. However, I fear it’s only a matter of time before it spreads to somewhere like LA, SF, Sacramento, etc.; and then we’re screwed and in it for the long haul.

Totally Quiz #6 is go!: https://games24.totallympics.com/?p=1789 Also, congrats to @dcro and @hckosice for again sharing the highscore last week. @Agger joined them at 7/10 this time as well.

IFSC Pan American Combined Championships? Yes. IFSC Pan American Championships? No, those have been around for a while. In fact, they will be held later this year, and award quotas for next years World Games (which I will also hopefully be at).

Ah, IFSC have confirmed 8 qualify for the final, Rojas and Frangos are in fact still in the mix for the quota.

Dependent upon how many climbers make the final round (don’t know if it’s 6 or 8 at this competition), we know the woman’s finalists for tomorrow (which is the first of two days in which I’ll be in attendance): If 6: Bair Contreras Aguado Chi Hunt Yip If 8: those 6 above Rojas Frangos If only 6 make it, it would be a huge shame for Rojas because she has been quite strong in the Pan American region. Plus, she placed 5th in women’s pre-qualification.

St. Helena has never looked more attractive than now Time to plan me a vacation

That’s a huge upset!

True? False? Kind of right? Fat is an American stereotype, but I think the more common one is that we’re all cowboys that love shooting guns and talking with a Southern accent.

In a crazy turn of events, Syria just got more interesting. First, Turkey announced that it will no longer stop Syrians at the border, nor will they prevent them from entering Europe any longer. Second, Assad/Russian forces carried out airstrikes that killed 29 (or more) Turkish soldiers, and wounded many. Turkey hosted emergency meetings tonight, and the result is not clear. There are some fears this could lead to war between Turkey and Russia, which would’ve been very unexpected only a few months ago. So, from Iran v. US, we’ve moved to Turkey v. Russia in the Middle East now.

My problem with NCAA Gymnastics is that they put too much emphasis on the dancing. Plus, they still use that outdated scoring system. I like athletes interacting with the music too, but this isn’t Dancesport.

No, that’s pretty much why I bothered to post this. Both the athletics and equestrian cases were Cannabis though.

Yep

WADA has published it’s Independent Report. 11 adverse findings. 6 in Weightlifting, 1 each in Athletics, Badminton, Boxing, Cycling, and Equestrian.

Welcome to China everyone.

Given you love for ignorance, I’m surprised you’re not spreading creationism or flat-Earth theories.

And I admire your lack of imagination, research, and knowledge on the subject matter.

Did Nigeria not qualify a team?

You don’t know what socialism brings either...Communism isn’t Socialism. If people don’t realize how helpful and awesome government programs are, than I can’t help. Yeah, I think that’s why Poland’s decided to try racism, white nationalism, and xenophobia again. Sanders isn’t a communist, but apparently you can’t read English since multiple users have said this before. No, that is something Democrats are united on. Stop, no. Cut down on the number of (by many), yes. Or we’ll actually realize the best system of Socialism, and we will have actually “Made America Great Again”. I’ll admit that Sanders would be first choice to initiate that, but I’ll take what I can get. I’ll take help where I can get it, that’s politics baby. They’re wrong about him being an easy opponent though. The left has some propaganda at the ready, so I wouldn’t be concerned

I thought they didn’t test

@mrv86 I think the work you’ve done is awesome. That said, what’s men’s team keirin
