Lima and Asuncion are officially the two candidate cities in contention to host the 2027 Pan American Games.

I haven't paid close attention to open water swimming in regards to the Olympics, but can more than 22 swimmers start in Paris? (ie. can pool swimmers "double up" without occupying one of the 22 quotas?)

Sainz is out at Ferrari after 2024.

might end up with 2025 WU, 2026 WO/WP, 2028 WO. They've already hosted the 2019 Winter Deaflympics and 2023 Winter EYOF, so I guess your nation's goal was to host every winter multi-sport event in the span of a decade

joining? This must already be a top ten edition of the TISC

Conrrado Mosocoso won the online fan vote for The World Games Athlete of the Year

By the way, the Winter YOG joins the list of multi-sports games without a host confirmed for the next cycle.

I really lost interest the last few days, but I had a lot of fun following the first half of the YOG.

Cortina might be getting their new track after all…

Your welcome @heywoodu

I didn't even know there was such a thing in cross country skiing I assumed double-poling was totally fine anywhere on the course.

There were 21(!) jury decisions in this event. I don't remember ever seeing that many for one event: https://olympics.com/gangwon-2024/static/yog24d-/pdf/YOG24D-/CCS/YOG24D-_CCS_C73A_CCSW7.5KMIS-----------FNL-000100--.pdf There were so many they had to put out a correction after confusing a few cases: https://olympics.com/gangwon-2024/static/yog24d-/pdf/YOG24D-/CCS/YOG24D-_CCS_C67_CCSW7.5KMIS-----------------------1.pdf Have you ever seen something like this @heywoodu?

They must have been bored and wanted to see some drama

I had a teammate on my university frisbee team with that name. He got tired of people trying to pronounce the proper name, so he also went by “ATL”

The USOPC has released a statement from their CEO saying that the United States will be awarded the gold medal in the team event by the IOC.

Yeah, the back half of the schedule definitely feels more empty

I'm absolutely in favor of doing the official ceremony during the opening ceremony.

Interestingly, CAS cited Russian Anti-Doping Rules, which don't provide any additional protection from consequences for "protected persons," as much of the basis for their ruling.

If it's up to the IOC, there probably won't be anymore news until their EB Meeting in March (at least, that's the theory I've read).

Taylor will be

Classic Detroit loss incoming…

Do they cut to Swift a little too much or too often? Probably. Does it ruin my ability to watch the game? Not really. People need to chill about the situation.

Yeah, tough tournament for your team. Hopefully they can win the 5th place match.

Made the mistake of reading comments on the figure skating streams from last night
