Now things are going too far! 
 

Went ahead and made my first “big” purchase this afternoon. I feel like I paid more than the item was worth, but at least the athlete is getting the money. 
 
I’d also be curious as to what you guys think is the appropriate price for a gold medal from the Mediterranean Beach Games? This isn’t the item I purchased, but I have seen one for sale recently.

Because Murica. Anyway, burning flags is childish. Crying about a burned flag is just as childish. People should grow up a little and not treat their flag as if it's their own child  

tbh, I'm more disgusted by the fact that all the weightlifting world is still considered a sport and has full Olympic status than by the things revealed here (which were well known even without this report)...
 
and if we have to consider the fact that Ajan was one of the founding members of WADA and the Cologne Laboratory history, how can we still trust this bunch of cheaters???

I will be cheering for the Hazers. They always seem to get on the podium (Marbula One & ML2019), but can never win it. 

Marbula 1 and Sand Rally are also top tier events.

Yeah, I think so. Marble League starts later this month. I’ll be pulling for the Orangers and Savage Speeders. I used to be a Limers fan, but they disgraced themselves during qualification last year 

Since this was double elimination, the Argentinian advanced to the gold medal match, while Perez “won” bronze.

Exactly.  The other events are just the Marbling equivalent of indoor five-a-side football or pre-season friendlies.  Only the Marble League is the prestige event.

There was some concern about several foreign drivers making it, but apparently it's been solved for all of them. 
 
Also, Indy Lights 2020 has been entirely canceled. Too bad for the 10 drivers registered. 

Just went through yet another Earthquake. They haven’t released the number yet, but I’m going to say it was in the neighborhood of a 4.5. There was a 3.9 very early this morning that I didn’t feel.

I wouldn’t go so far as to call it a sport, but it is an enjoyable mock competition. I am quite invested in it though. Which competition did you watch?

Watched a bit of KBO baseball and horse racing. Also watched @Olympian1010 & @Grassmarket favorite sport Jelles Marble Runs.

For example people who start in Dakar or Isle of Man and so on are old enough to make their own decisions and weigh the pros and cons of their participation. You just can't expect an 11 year old kid to have that same kind of level especially in sports that are inherently more dangerous than for example football, tennis or athletics.

Pretty interesting read/overview with a good number of studies in it.

Anyone knows more about these Australian journalists?

Next time when the US criticizes an authoritarian country about the repression of press freedom, the government/regime concerned will just cynically point to videos like this....

A pretty interesting point on the situation.

It's just mocking the blanket statements I'm seeing all over the internet. Sadly.

Hence my saying you can't be sure if it's real or not with all of these situations and insinuations of who is behind the violence.
