Well I was wondering because I’ve been skating on basic inline skates for a few months, and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good pair of inline speed skates?

From what I’ve read admission to all venues will be free with an electronic wristband. P.S the opening ceremony is happening at the oblesk and not in a stadium

Good Results for Casey (Eichfield) this weekend in Canoe Slalom. He managed to qualify for the final and finish 7th 2 seconds behind the winner. Great season opener

Does any one inline skate?

Not last anymore

He honestly looked like he was jogging, McMaster also looked good as well

Under your format I don’t see as many nations qualifying for the YOG. I also don’t think events should cut, but that quotas should be increased to 5000. Lastly, I would keep the universality spots and format and the games would be hosted by the previous Summer Olympic Games host as part of its venue legacy

I view the YOG as a more relaxed and fun Olympics, with opportunities for smaller nations and big nations to do well. I rather enjoy watching them. I am mildly pleased with the format of qualification, besides the one team rule.

I think some people are especially dumb

No, but I know she’s from the East Coast area. She’s also a very outspoken athlete about political and, more importantly, Federation issues. They had to put a gag order on her, after she revealed that our federation did not intend to fund female athletes. And the US population wonders why we aren’t able to win every sport.

Not a great day for one of our US athletes, Ashley Nee. She said that the capitol gazette shooting got to her and impacted her performance.

If anyone needs a good motivation, workout, hype, or opening ceremony song, here’s a great one:

I would imagine four-man to 25 and women’s to 25

Well, I know it will be streamed in the US on ESPN 3, but I am curious to know about other live streams since ESPN 3 won’t show everything.

I like the person who commented Watersolo, lol

Interesting, and they could be hosted in two separate places

Has anyone found out anything about live streaming for the games?

I would like to see expanded Olympics, with multiple host cities or even countries. Ideally they would last the current 19 days or longer/shorter if needed. My games would be flexible to allow them to be sustainable. I also realize that an Olympics the size and scale that I want would probably be impossible, but hey a totallympian can dream.

Well, I wasn’t counting demo sports, and is actually a rather established sport compared to jet ski

I think it was more an unwillingness of a fifth nation out a fear of being beaten badly more than finding athletes. I also think that many countries, although the Americas and Asia are far ahead of others, had or still have sexist attitudes towards women in sports. It’s a shame because women’s competitions can just as competitive or exciting to watch as a men’s competition. I would that in this case however, it is more of lack of resources for women’s programs that kept these events out. Waterskiing is also pretty expensive for low GDP and developing nations.

Now the program will include a total of 436 events, 218 for men, 195 for women, 24 are mixed
