I want to see a road race stage done as an elimination stage. Race 200km and eliminate the last rider to cross at each km. Or I just want an insanely long stage, like 300km followed by a 50km time trial the next day, and then a 25km Mountain stage the next day, and then a good ole’ sprint stage to finish it off.

There will be a music festival instead though. So in the end there’ll be just as many dumb youths, rednecks, and alcoholics

What? I’ve never seen a more confusing post.

It’s because the Western countries won’t accept Palestine and the Arab countries won’t accept Israel. Those in the middle decided it was better to have none than one.

No fenec . Riots everywhere

And now a commercial that won’t change anything, but accurately describes how all American students feel. Great job to the directors, one of the best satire PSAs I’ve seen in a long time.

Finally

I haven’t brushed up on Israeli politics in a while. I just know he’s center-left.

Trump is going to attempt to take away California’s right to make environmental regulations. He’s really trying to poke the bear. In terms of state politics, California is 70% Democratic, 20% Republican, %5 Libertarian, 2% Green (a lot higher, but many Greens vote as democrats), and then small minorities of Peace and Freedom and American Socialist parties.

Well the US is going to do more than invade Greenland if they don’t get it together

So... @Wumo needs to chill the f out, and @Agger needs to calm down? That story didn’t give us an update on the when contest will begin. The West US would be willing to host it in Solvang, should we get a Hamlet scenario.

Netanyahu has lost the Israeli elections again. That’s quite a shock. Might be the first elections the left has won since Brexit (the only acceptation being the Danish elections earlier this year). No party will have the majority required to form a government. There’ll be a lot of behind the scenes negotiations.

It would be the first time in a while that we’ve had a Chilean entry if I’m not mistake. Is that right @OlympicIRL?

How’s Andorra doing? They had some girls I hoped would get the tripartite invite. Its a shame the Angolan won’t qualify . Also Lebanon is eligible to get the tripartite, but they’ll use it elsewhere probably. Ski Lanka does like a good bet unless someone comes out of the wings or Ski Lanka chooses not to apply for this spot.

Very true. I do apologize for causing such a stir. I did see that his university released a statement morning his death too. Huk was really well liked, and a very positive member of all the communities he was a part of. That much gets clearer everyday.

Ugh, the world champs need to slow down. Every sport needed to have there’s in a the span of a month. I already have an entire speech to write for my comms class. There’s no way Totallympics Media will reporting on reporting on this shite . If only I could clone myself.

First of all I’ve only asked twice. Second, I don’t know if you noticed, but I’ve been paying my respects since the news broke. I only want the information to help with my closure. Different people handle death differently. I’ve restrained myself as much as I can, but I don’t like not knowing the truth. I’m sorry that offends people, but I don’t like not knowing what happened. I apologize for pressing the matter. It’s my job as journalist to find out what happened.

It’s a beautiful gesture though, especially for someone who worked as a journalist. It really shows how much he meant to people . I was going to suggest changing to forum’s basic color to black and replacing the XC skier with a Handball pictographs for the next week. I don’t know what people’s feelings about that would be though. I definitely think we should do something though.

It’s not super creative, but there just didn’t some to be a lot of amazing entires in the “design a medal” contest this time around

Alright, this is some old news, but it seems I forgot to post it as well. Here is the official medal design for the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics

Well according to the ranking they’ll be in the hunt for a bronze medal, and maybe even a chance at the final. could have chosen a men’s team still, but I don’t think they were looking forward to playing the US, Canada, Finland, and Russia.

Oh! The Ice Hockey teams are on here as well. Here is the quota allocation, followed by a breakdown. Men’s Team: Canada Denmark Finland Russian Federation Switzerland United States Women’s Team: Czech Republic Germany Japan Slovakia Sweden Switzerland Allocation Breakdown: It looks like you’ll be cheering for the girls @hckosice. I’d love to see a v. Gold Medal Match. The biggest surprise by far is getting a boys team. I guess that’ll give @Agger and @Wumo an excuse to watch ice Hockey . Personally I wanted the US to go with the girls, but of well. Hopefully we can beat Finland, Canada, and Russia. It would have been fun to see France, too bad they couldn’t manage to get a few more points.

Yeah people need to chill with the amount of times the take antibiotics. We’re going to have serious problems in the future.

Why are Russian (Soviet) scientist always trying to kill us? They give us the periodic table and then are like “fuck it, kill them all”
