It’s either been fixed now, or I don’t see the problem.

Oh, when did she retire? I totally missed that news (or forgot about it)

Meliutytė has been given a 2 year ban after missing 3 tests

Don’t know Bintang, but the other two are well-known in the US.

Corona is very popular here in California. Probably the most popular Mexican beer, but I’m not a drinker, so I’m not sure.

You already know an Olympian

Central Asian Games may be back in 2021. Not only would it add another regional Asian Games to schedule, but it would make an already crowded 2021 even more crowded.

Totally Quiz will be out sometime tomorrow. I apologize for being late, but it’s been hard to find motivation to write it recently.

Whelp, my dad has a slightly high temperature. Time to kick him out my damn house, and put his ass in quarantine.

I just can’t get excited about college baseball (really I can’t get excited by baseball period ). Cool to see it’s on the MLB Network though.

Well, we got our first world champion in Biathlon 3 years ago, so it’s doable

Should of said “isn’t” Autocorrect strikes again.

Inline skating is that popular in the Low Countries. They have good athletes, but I wouldn’t say it’s a popular in places like South America, Central America, and East Asia. France isn’t behind the eightball in roller speed skating.

Hoping she really comes through in Beijing.

I’m out of the house right now, how’d she do?

Yep Now, if only we can medal at an Olympics... Our woman are the best they’ve been in a long time, and I have great hopes for them. The men...

This is a bit sad tbh. Buttigieg will capitalize on this. His Latino vote might actually be a tangible thing now. (For the record I would have gotten this question right. Answer is: AMLO (a socialist)) I think we should ask every presidential candidate to find Rwanda on a map...(if we really want to determine the African American vote this way )

Woah there old man, don’t be dissing “Writing’s On The Wall” that and “Skyfall” are my two all-time favorites.

Well the Colombians who have switched to ice have found proper coaches I believe. Both countries have out-preformed expectations though, and have really added more value to the sport (which is why cutting Olympic quotas sucks).

Damn, I’ve been doing it wrong

Yeah, I agree it’s a total crap shoot. I didn’t really think about the difference between outer and inner lanes...I was using my roller speed, instead of my ice speed brain Format was definitely better, but the IOC didn’t like adding another day of speed skating to the schedule (which is ridiculous really). The biggest changes I’d love to see in Speed Skating would be: a longer (and better formatted (maybe points/elimination maybe like in roller)) mass start, and a return to the 2 race 500m.

Hey, after Bailey’s miracle, nothing is imposible in US biathlon. (Also beat an unexpectedly good Czech on that day too , though Moravec was a bit more prolific than today’s bronze medal winner)

Hard for me to judge that. I watch a very similar sport where what you do in 200m or 300m matters... As annoying as it was as a spectator, I do think the 500m 2 race format was better.

It’s my position. I’ve always had an undiagnosed balance/power issue. Only one side of my body is double jointed, and it seems to throw off my balance among other things. I can’t really explain the issue, even to former track coaches, so it’s just something I deal with. I think my gym workouts and such would help, but I don’t feel safe when lifting, squating, etc. because it affects that too. So I just do what I can because I enjoy it. I accepted long ago that I’d never be an elite, or even good athlete, but I could aim to do my best, and practice what I love

1500m is the most painful overall because everything (lungs, legs, lower back, arms) hurts, but it’s hard to beat the back pain I feel on those longer skates. It’s not a support for people who don’t like being constantly on their limits. I struggle not to just give in and cruise on all of my workout skates.
