Lead group of 10 women heading into the swim.

I know had tryouts this summer (winter for them). Haven’t seen much else. I’ve been concentrating on the “real” events.

lead after the first bout of running in the men’s Aquathlon.

Projected outcome of Tunisian Presidential Election:

No daily schedule tonight, I’m too tired. I’ll be lucky to make it through the Aquathlon this morning.

@Fly_like_a_don Vanuatu’s game will be broadcast today. They are on center court

Any nation wanted to field a hockey player for the mixed 3x3 tournament is essentially allowed to. Qualification happens at the national level and one player from each country is accepted. It’s the dumbest event of all time. Luckily, the rest of the games are pretty legit in terms of qualification and events.

This is how I attempt to explain the phenomenon. The older generations (40+), have lived through, or are old enough to remember the horrors of communism. Meanwhile my generation has only known connection, progressive values, and the horrors of Capitalism. The older generations are voting against rapid change because they cannot handle it. The young generations are voting for rapid change because we won’t live without it. The older generations want a solid government opposed to communism and progressive values. The younger generations want a progressive government that’s opposed to unbridled capitalism. The Old hates the young for what they’ve become, and are attempting to stop change. The young hate what the old have created and are fighting for change, and beginning to make their voices heard. It’s an interesting lesson in class warfare.

The Turkish military (or proxies) shelled a Kurdish civilian convey that was a full of foreign journalists. One journalist confirmed dead, multiple others feared dead, multiple others injured. France 2 was able to confirm their team had not been hit, but was very close to the strike. Also, the Syrian Army is mobilizing North after cutting a deal with YPG/SDF. It seems the YPG/SDF have joined the anti-American alliance in the Middle East, which has grown ten-fold since Trump took office. Turkey has also announced that they will take more territory than originally announced (shocked I tell you, shocked). German chancellor who personally asked Erdogan to stop the attack. Germany and Turkey have been at odds for years, so this will only further the hate between the two. NATO needs to mobilize against Turkey, like we did against Serbia. We can’t have little Russia’s running in around all over the place. Trump has put the US in its worst foreign policy positions since the Vietnam War. China is taking the Pacific, Russia and Saudi Arabia are taking the Middle East, losing our prominence in Western alliances. This isn’t good. I hope impeachment moves fast. Also, I feel so terribly for the Kurds. For my fellow journalists killed today reporting on the true horrors taking place: ???

So why is he allowed to represent Ireland then?

@OlympicIRL Is Rhys Northern Irish? If I remember correctly he represented them at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

I’m assuming this is the best the “left” has done in Poland in a while?

Ugh, they’re just about to release Fortnite 2 in like a few minutes or something. It was a lie, of course, so they’re will still be annoying Fortnite gamers everywhere

You know it’s too bad. I think this guy is like 19-21 years old, meaning he just missies the cutoff for the YOG this year. He certainly could have qualified for that . I’m trying to figure out the best way to help him, but I don’t have many contacts in the international sports community. I’d love to see him make it. Of course he won’t, not because of funding issues, but because of Akwasi Frimpong (who is very much still training and improving his times)

Holy Shit! Epic has just confirmed Fortnite is done . The games has been shelved by the company. It’s the end of era! . What a brilliant hype move. The final event, known as “The End”, has 4 million viewers on YouTube, and maybe as high as 10 million around the world.

They won’t. At least they didn’t publish any for the African Beach Games and it was the exact same system. They even had a similar looking, with very similar looking graphics . Bornan needs to add a little variation. They are new to the game, so they get a pass.

Also @MHSN, what do you make of Bornan’s results system. I really like, but the PDFs aren’t the best.

They didn’t show any climbing today

Iran’s team is crazy good. I’ll be gutted if they don’t win a medal. I hope for the best for your boys.

So, I don’t want to say I was right in my views about Poland, but... The international trend of young people voting far-left is very interesting. Definitely something to monitor over the next few years. The older generations are voting further and further right, while the younger generations are voting further and further left. Very interesting. US election will have similar trend. I’ll have to look back and forward at other elections to further study this trend. I think we may be on the verge of moving from far-right to far-left very quick.

The head of our foreign affairs committee is hinting that there is work in progress to kick Turkey out of NATO. The US is furious that they’re buying US weapons, and of the on going humanitarian situation they’re creating. This now makes the UN, Arab Council, and possibly NATO against the Turkish invasion. Also, Trump announces we are pulling all troops from Northern Syria. What a fucking idiot! He should be held responsible in the international court of human rights. I really hope Turkey gets what they deserve in the next few years. All they have left at this point is Russia.

Holy shit, what a match! v. . Iran and Senegal scored goal, after goal. There were 4 goals in the final 1:45 of game. It came down to penalties and proved me right. They are a force to be reckoned with. I’m sad for though . They had a real medal chance too, but now that’s gone because Iran only has to beat to advance.

This is a must read sports article for any Olympic sports fan: http://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1085547/big-read-taekwondo-humanitarian-azraq I really hope the THF get a Nobel Peace Prize one of these days, because they totally deserve it.

I have a very strong feeling that we know the same two songs

@MHSN Iran just scored two of the best goals in the entire beach soccer tournament. I could watch them in slow mo forger. Iran will have a big, big chance at a medal.
