I’m telling you, OBS really needs to hire this guy. Artistic Gymnastics would be so much better if this was the commentary for every routine

It was great feat either way

Well Climate Change is quickly becoming a Human Rights issue so you never know... In my opinion I haven’t seen a strong nominee yet this year. That’s why Greta’s in the lead in my opinion.

Yes, but one could argue that the climate issue has become a peace issue too.

We know it’s awarded fairly because he hasn’t won it yet. Also, no US President should ever win the award unless they actually do something. People like Greta, Nelson Mandela, MLK, Cesar Chavez, Botswana’s first President, Ghandi, Dalai Lama, etc. are the people who actually deserve the award.

Won’t be much money left once the atmosphere opens up and we all slowly cook to death. That’s if you survive the rising oceans obviously

Pan Am and Asia are well represented too looking at it again. I’m very satisfied with the countries involved.

Can we also talk about the fact that we’ll have 6 African nations at the WCH. That’s just great to see for the sport. Realistically there’s a few more African that could send athletes if they had programs and money.

I was talking more about Derry (at least I think, can’t remember the town). With your proximity to the broader I bet you’re really hoping that Brexit doesn’t bring about the IRA again...

Finally someone had the balls to tell this to the world leaders. What a great speech, and right in front of Trump no less I believe.

Then they shouldn’t have named their town after the thing that tops a bottle . Its not the worst accent I’ve heard from . The accents can sound much dumber. It’s like if the scots, welsh, and Irish had a child. It’s just wrong.

if we get more than 2, I’ll be happy. Our best chances are Athletics, Swimming, Sailing. Maybe we’ll get lucky with a wild card for archery. Golf and Basketball have no chance. I don’t really know of any other sports active on the island besides bobsleigh, and we really fucked that up the last time around . At worse: 2 At best: 5 most likely: 3

I expect at least 1,000 and will settle for no less (and yes I know this impossible).

That seems to be the problem. The guy in black sounds like a drunk Englishmen, or in other words, every person in Boston

Only 550

I’m just against the public trials for gymnastics. They could say 1st and 2nd automatically qualifies for Tokyo and then the federation will select the other 2. It would prevent so much unnecessary and unhealthy gender standards.

There’s none . It’s the forum’s version of the Eurovision Song Contest. We have 2 every year. One for songs from the past year, and one (like this current one) for songs five years old and older. I just gives us all something to do in the off seasons . has been absent for a while now. It would be nice to the return of

Lol ?. I just heard news that Russians and Canadians are losing ice Hockey golds to the US left and right now that we’re allowed to inflate totals against our rivals. and actually have zero Olympic medals now JK. Seriously, the fact we still have these petty problems is ridiculous.

@OlympicIRL I don’t know what kind of English lessons thus have in Ireland because this ain’t it chief:

The Olympics would be 3,000 times better if this guy commentated (or at least did the 5 minute event highlights)

Yes very interesting results. I will say that my least favorite period, is the USA gymnastics selection event every Olympic year. The drama is way too much, the commentary sucks, etc. Just choose a team and get on with it! Also don’t let someone finish 3rd or 4th and then not select them!

I explained why this one made sense earlier. Street skating, Parkour, and Breaking are arguably the most urban sports in existence. When the games were were supposed to be held in San Diego it made sense to include Park skating. First and foremost because the World Urban Games didn’t exist yet. Second because in California, Park Skating is highly associated with beaches. The most iconic skatepark in the world is at Venice Beach. So it made sense for skating to be included. Hopefully that answers your question. As for Boulder, I’m pretty sure someone got drunk or hit their head after a good day of climbing and some how came to the conclusion that it’s a beach sport.

Good Riddance! Hopefully this actually brings the change people want to see. It would be the first time the center-left has had control of Israeli politics in a long time.
