  1. I’ll drive down or stay with my grandpa in Orange. Depends what events I get as volunteer.
  2. That was super exhausting. The gym had to be 200 F degrees. I had to judge 3 separate routes for 5 different divisions. Apparently I judged our national youth C champion at some point. It sounds like we’ll get a chance at the routes. I’m freaken tried, so I might not. This takes the number of sports I’ve judged, refereed, or volunteered at to at least 5 off the top of my head. Saw some great climbing and learned quite a bit about the sport too. Hopefully that knowledge is hopeful for reporting purposes.
  3. I’m really hoping for LA 2028 and then Salt Lake 2030. Both are within driving distance, and absolutely love both cities.
  4. So 5 then...What’s odd is that I’m pretty sure in my days of Wikipedia wandering I’ve seen this. I checked the racquet sports, but no luck (Basque Pelota being the strongest candidate so far). I’d say there’s a good possibility that it might not be a racquet.
  5. What about Muay or Kickboxing? Or karate! It looks similar from what I can picture.
  6. It’s better than professional or competitive coke sniffing obviously . From reason I was reminded of a really funny story. My younger sister gets in the car with my mom after school. She begins to tell my mom that some kids were passing around drugs during class. My mom asks what drugs, and my sister says “medical cocaine” . I know she was only in middle school, but every pre-schooler in California knows the difference between cocaine, marijuana, shrooms, meth, or heroine. We still tease her to this day.
  7. Women’s Gymnastics and Figure Skating would no longer exist if that first point was true. Yeah, Shaun White is a good skater, but he’s not that good. I swear if he makes the final.
  8. There are the best in the sport though. Skateboarding isn’t like a lot of established sports. The community is very different. The same goes for other sports nowadays too. I would never stop athletes from competing simply because of their age. Also, it’s not pedophilia to let these athletes compete. If anything Skateboarding has had much less problems with that than Figure Skating, Bobsled, Gymnastics, Speed Skating, etc.
  9. Everyone inside the IOC is talking like the Australian bid has already won...
  10. Most are. Those from the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus would have to cross a UN monitored broader to get into Cyprus. They could fly to the competition as well, but both sides our really in agreement right now. Plus, I haven’t seen to many Cypriot athletes with Turkish names.
  11. Aceh is the district that imposed strict Shria Law right?
  12. No clue, part of the reformed bid process is that there’s no longer a set hard timetable. Budapest or India might be the favorites for 2036 by the way.
  13. And when people are crashing in front of you on a downhill and there’s no way to avoid it.
  14. I’d wouldn’t think so, that had to give on hosting the 2022 Commonwealth Games because they didn’t have enough funding. The next Olympic bid race is for 2032 by the way. Australia looks almost assured to win.
  15. The main problem is will Sanders votes just screw over the party like in 2016. Many democrats essentially boycotted the election. Now that Bernie has even larger support, I’m worried it could be a catastrophe. I’m not thrilled that Biden might win ten nomination, he doesn’t get me up in the morning, but he’s still better than Trump I guess.
  16. After seeing multiple angles of the crash and how horrible it was, Movistar’s move was just disgraceful and tasteless. Anyone who’s cycled knows what a big deal respect is in the sport. When someone goes down you make sure their good and you give them a few minutes to catch their breath. There’s winning and there’s winning with class and dignity.
  17. In more local Californian politics anti-vaccine protestors threw menstrual blood all over our state senators: Problem in American #3,000,000: People who don’t vaccinate their kids put us all in danger. It’s honestly a very cruel form of child endangerment, and it should be punished with a large fine or even some jail time by state law. Vaccinate Your Kids!
  18. As I said a few weeks ago during hurricane Dorian. I wouldn’t have been worried about my health during the storm because the US has prepared well for such events after the San Francisco Earthquake and Hurricane Katerina. I worry most about being gunned down in a store or at school, wether or not my friends will be deported or shot by the police, and wether I will have healthcare in a few years. I worry a lot about the last one. That last one and the first one are my main reasons that I’m really contemplating immigration to Canada, Australia, or the EU. Here’s a heart wrenching moment from a Bernie Sanders town hall today: As one of the three largest economies in the world and arguably one of the three most powerful countries, it shouldn’t be impossible to make sure people, let alone our brave vets, have healthcare. I’d also again remind our community members and users that I’m here should you need someone to talk to about mental health.
  19. Or sheds light on a very serious problem if you’re an American woman.
  20. @Griff88 I was watching some behind the scenes coverage from rehearsals for the opening “dance” at the 2018 Asian Games. I noticed not all the girls wore hijabs when in their gym clothes. I was wondering if some muslims don’t wear it, or if they’re just a different religion.
  21. Beach Soccer draws: Group A and B look like the tougher groups on the men’s side. Overall I like the diversity of nations involved.
