Even as a huge X Games fan growing up, I still think the judging is super biased

Does anyone know where I can find the Marc Holder Trophy standing for the Junior Nordic Skiing World Championships?

Winter Youth Olympic Games 2020 Lausanne (SUI) - 9 January 2020 - 22 January 2020 Official Website

Anyone else watching (or keeping track of) the Rolex 24 today/tomorrow. Always the traditional start of motor sports in America.

Just me and a new friend tonight

So all’s good (figuratively) in the Balkans then?

I had to read this like 15 times to get my mind to understand it. And here I was thinking it would be hard to beat the Trump, Maduro, and Syrian governments

What?

This is a qualification event for the 2020 YOG by the way. The qualification system is pretty legit and allows up to 3 entries per nation per event (with a maximum of three entires in this sport)

I read that track cycling and canoe slalom would make appearances as well

It’s supposed to be quite a lot bigger than the one’s in 2018 from what I’ve read. I would like to know though, if you want to post them.

That means they all about qualify for YOG 2020

It exists and is on schedule, very un-olympic

Three digit distances and marathons are so 1896. I need you two to be more youthful and urban minded.

Welcome @O_faiax!

I’ll see what I can do. I don’t have time today, but I’ll look around tomorrow

In other non-Venezuelan news, Kamala Harris announced her plans to run for President in 2020. She will be the candidate I’ll support in the primaries, and against Trump. I think she’s the right direction for our country to move in. (Plus, she’s a woman of color from California, so everything Trump hates).

I think Boliva is his ideal spot

The real question is who emerges as the next leader of Venezuela

For some reason I don’t see this turning into a civil war, though the conditions required are definitely present

The list of countries recognizing Guiado is growing fast, up to at least 15 by my count.

For the first time ever! I agree with Trump’s decision to recognize Juan Guiado as interim President of Venezuela. I also saw the Canada and Brazil have announced recognition as well. Things might get interesting in the next few days.

I know it’s crazy how some smaller federations are making ground right now
