Welcome @Eragon

In most cases it wasn’t their ancestors. Mugabe stripped the Whites of land in the early 2000s. That was only 20 years after the end of apartheid in Zimbabwe.

I thought that was in an event, not per sport...

I mean they seriously oppressed these people for 150 years. They locked up anyone who spoke out against them, and didn’t ever treat Black Africans as equals. In a way, I’d consider stripping them of their land as reparations.

No. The order (I think) was 2019 Euro Games, 2019 Universaide, World Aquatics Championships, 2019 EYOF, Urban Games are next week, Beach Games In October, Youth Olympics in January (but most qualifications are done).

Give me the name of an African leader that hasn’t locked up his political rivals, shot at protesters, committed genocide, or started a civil war.

The torch is the same design as the one used at Buenos Aires 2018, Napoli 2019, Lima 2019, etc. I’m getting really tired of this basic af torch design. I’m not even going to bother with finding a photo of it. Torch relay will begin on the 17th.

Is Jair Tjon en Fa anywhere near Olympic qualification? He can keep up with the best at least, and he does a very unpredictable riding style.

Paul is legit at least. I’m really hoping for a medal from him Tokyo. In my opinion he’s one of the best raw talents out threes right now.

I did do some further reading as I definitely agree that he had a role to play in the Genocide. It’s unfortunate because I’m his early career and later in his life he showed much promise, but it just never materialized. What he did to the white minority is unfortunate, but I also think part of it was their fault. In terms of him being a war criminal, I’d say a case could be made. I will say that to be a African leader, war criminal is almost a must unfortunately. I think sometimes it’s not always fear to blame a leader too. Sometimes they do try to control their paramilitary and fail. I’d say that isn’t the case for him though. He definitely carried out a preemptive strike on a potential challenge in a very wrong and inhumane way.

From what I read, African did lose both a positive influential figure and a man of gave into his lust for power. He was an interesting man nonetheless. I don’t know very many reasons as for why his life shouldn’t be remembered.

I’ve always had a soft spot for the Pats. There’s fans are just as obnoxious as the Eagles though. New Englanders are a different breed.

It was our cheapest tickets by about 10-15 USD

The best time of the day

I have to say that I don’t agree with his position, but I am sorry about his condition.

@bmo is younger at 16 or 17. He hasn’t been around in a while, just like @Rdbc who’s the same age as me. I like to represent the urban youth around here . I’m what Bach (Olympic Fencing Champion 1976) a “target audience”.

I’m assuming your Basque then? . I always thought of that as such an interesting place.

Yes, so as to limit the amount of people on the trails. Tickets were $30-40 USD. I’m super excited to watch. I should get some fantastic photos as well. Cross Country (Eventing) is one of my favorite Olympic events.

World Aquatics Championships, 2019 EYOF, 2019 European Games, 2019 Summer Universaide, and recently a bunch of other world championships. I don’t know if has qualified any athletes for the World Urban or World Beach Games. You can check the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics thread to see who qualified there.

Yep. I remember my political disagreements with you, as well as, the song you entered in TISC. Plus, your username is rather easy to remember.

No I’m there from the 24th-2nd (my last event is the Equestrian Cross Country). The 50km is a week later.

As far as I can tell (and I’m 95% confident), those quotas are for sure Brazil’s
