I always wondered who was still buying Nokia...

As sad as that is, it’s cool to see get a spot.

Bullshit! Bullshit! What a fucking joke this event has become! Fuck Morocco. That’s not parkour and it’s sure as hell not parkour. Not to mention it was the least clean run of the competition. The Brits final run was 3 million times better. Fuck Red Bull and Fuck this event. Maybe we should just let the FIG steal this sport, if this is how the crown jewel event is going to run. 1. 2. 3. On a more positive note. I was really impressed by the talent of everyone involved (save the Moroccan). The women were ultra impressive and through insanely difficult tricks that I didn’t expect them to. The girl from really impressive with her natural parkour style (it’s a shame she damaged a UNESCO World Heritage Site). What I saw today really makes think the sport deserves to be an Olympic sport. However, we’ll need better venues and a more codified judging system. Great job to the all the freerunners involved.

Not happy with the choice of venue. First almost all of the obstacles are artificial. Second, old crumbling gross looking Italian City isn’t an ideal place for parkour. Third, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage site! The idea is that people shouldn’t do parkour on those. Red Bull is just playing to the bad stereotypes of free running and parkour after years of great competition that really helped make true freerunning mainstream. This might actually be worse than the FIG abomination. It is by far still the best contest in the world, but shameful choices from Red Bull. I just watched an athlete break a 1,000 year old roof tile. That wasn’t fun, and it didn’t add value to the sport. Choose a better venue Red Bull.

Got bored yesterday so I went ahead and made a few Beach Games venues. Ceremonies venue: Combat Sports: Open Water and Triathlon type events:

Or for those of us with money, an Apple Music playlist

Great photos . You actually got lucky with a scenic spot and a good angle. Are CCC and Astana the only teams racing Tour Of CRO?

Yep, thanks too the Tour Of California I haven’t had to buy sports bottles in 5 years. I lost a bunch recently though. I think I’m done to five. The CCC one looks nice. I have 3 for other teams that use the same bottle design as Astana. Maybe I’ll take pictures of the bottles later if I ever get out of bed this morning.

Do you believe in miracles?!

I’ll need to be now that y’all ventured into C1. I’ll be there for all the sessions of that event so I’ll try to at least get a picture if not a little interview.

Technically it was post-qualifier to the pre-qualifier (since you have to qualify for AmeriCup)

Well, I’m now very famous on Reddit for this epic typo :

And on water

@OlympicIRLFunny interviews with Irish Olympians is it’s own genre on YouTube at this point. Somehow there’s even less English spoke in this one than the last one

Won’t she just get a World Cup quota?

There’s other ways to qualify.

Italy and their 34 athletes didn’t get that memo . Actually a lot of Italy’s athletes are b or c in their sport, but Italy still sent a few of their best here and there. I am really thinking about titling the preview of the games I’m writing this weekend as the following. “The Reallocation Games: A Week Of Sunburns, Unknown Sports, and a Dolphin”

The US is 69ing...oh wait!...I mean the US will send 69 athletes

Yep Austria’s song is one of few to ever make it to my main playlist.

The great thing about cycling is how photogenic it is. I’d say it’s one of easier sports to take pictures of, especially if you’ve found a spot the morning of and planned out your shot . You should get some awesome photos.

I recommend low angles or profile shots. For the best pictures, find a long stretch, a tight corner, or a place with a good backdrop.

That’s lowing hanging fruit. They should really write Croatia a memo about that...

I’d say we still have a good selection. I’d still love to see more smaller nations like Malta competing (like Israel, Luxembourg, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, Fiji, Andorra, etc.)

has beaches. You broader a huge sea for miles and miles. You were expected to participate, but I don’t know what happened
