Also, not that entries are available (even if not official entries), it’s a good reminder about the prediction contest myself, @Vojthas, @Wumo worked to make available to everyone. We’d love to see more participating even if it doesn’t count towards the official standings.

Also, noticed that has (predictably) declined to participate in the games.

According to BBC, Archery is also on the table: https://www.bbc.com/sport/commonwealth-games/51013587

I think there’s an option to turn off auto-refresh, but I could be wrong.

So do you like it, or not? In my opinion, this is the best system for information. I’d say I’d prefer Atos for looks and design though.

@Ustatsch What is “Grundkenntnusse Englisch”? From what I can price together, it’s British English?

I love how all the European athletes claim to speak English, and then continuously make grammar and vocabulary errors in the biographies. However, this makes them more relatable, so my above post still stands.

I wish more countries will force/ask their athletes to fill out their biographies on the timing system. Personally, I find easier to cheer for athletes I can connect to, and I enjoy reading the biographies to see what kids are into these days. Professionally, it allows journalists (like myself) to write more creative and funny stories about the athlete. In my opinion it’s a win/win. It takes 5-10 minutes, the athletes gain fans, the NOCs then have athletes that people like, and journalists can write fun stories.

Taynara Da Silva will race both Biathlon and Cross Country @heywoodu. Maybe @brunamoura can give me a good scouting report about her and some of the other “exotic” biathletes?

I see they’re using @heywoodu favorite system

Came across a little something... https://www.lausanne2020.sport/results/nh

Lying out their ass there. Something that strikes me is that they don’t directly deny HUNADO taking bribes. They also seem to be quite close to them, as they continuously talk about how great their cooperation is. It’s going to be a long year for the IWF.

As long as stuff is available online live, I’ll be happy.

Here’s my beef. Why have an Olympic Channel on TV, and then not show live Olympic events! I mean I’d probably just stream them anyways because that’s what I prefer, but cmon NBC. I don’t need re-runs from this summer’s world championships, or of the Tour De Ski, or of bobsleigh from last week; give me some good YOG coverage. I will say, I do like that NBC are finally giving the YOG some air-time in the United States, but it’s not a bad thing to want more.

I don’t see how that’s pro-Cold War, but it is something I said, so alrighty then.

Awe, that’s unfortunate. I quite like this though. More multi-sports games and world championships should do this type of giveaway.

Alright, I’m sitting in 6th place in the live trivia. I’m 2 questions down on the leader after the first game. Only 120 people participated. 7/10. A disappointing performance really.

I’m not going to debate that I did, but when did I exactly?

Yeah no problem. I just need a good amount of hard, sufficient evidence against certain judges. I’ll need their “normal” scores/score range, and their abnormal scores and range. You can never have enough evidence. The more that can be found/used the better.

First live trivia round starts in 40 minutes!

If you really think the judges are working to give France a “free ticket”, I’d love to write a story about it. However, I’d need proof, evidence, and knowledge as an equestrian fan. I’d need your expertise to guide me in the right direction, and to help me find the right scores, and to show me how they’re unusually high/low.

Glad you listened I can’t really speak for his views, but I both agree and disagree with what he said. I don’t think laser guns should replace events, but I do think it would be a nice addition. With laser guns, we could actually bring back events like pistol dueling, or incorporate new events like laser run, obstacle course shooting, etc. It opens a door to more creative events, and I think it’s worth looking into. I do agree with you that it should not replace the traditional events (even though I hate guns myself). I will say that I much prefer the air guns to the small bore guns used at 50m range.

Whenever CAS decides to reveal their opinion (probably some time in the Spring).

I wouldn’t say we bred them. We made the conditions necessary for them to become mainstream. Plus, we armed them as allies at one point...
