Thank y'all for following this games! Cheer from !

Ok so I have given it some thought this week and I am willing to try to organise a contest. It is getting quite late in the year so the Grand Final might have to wait until after Christmas and New Year but let’s see how things go.
 
I will probably make it a more stripped down version to make it more manageable to organise but I think having the contest at all is more important.
 
Also I think I’d rather make this the Annual edition since we did not have an Annual contest this year and I think it would be nice to keep that tradition alive. The Open Contest allows us to pick songs from almost any period so there will always be a chance to showcase those songs any year. But for Annuals, it has to be songs released in the last 12 months and those songs haven’t had a contest since the 2024 Annual so I think it’s better to host the 2025 Annual now and then figure out where things go from there.

Ser-Od Bat-Ochir's daughter, Nomin-od, will represent  in the women's 100m hurdles at the 2025 Asian Youth Games.

Looks like streaming will be available on Asian Games Hub: https://www.asiangameshub.com/events/bahrain-2025

Yeah, they were having difficulties.  I watched as the number of viewers dropped as it was happening, and even on the replay uploaded now, it cuts straight from the intro to the Final A into the M 1500m or whatever it was.

It looks like live streaming might be available here (in addition to PanamSports): https://transmisiones.guatemala2025.gt

It was around before then as well, but there was a problem that forced @Sindo to start from scratch (again) a few months before Rio 2016, if I have my history correct?

of course im not a bird.
 
(is also something a bird would say)

I've always been a fan of the Olympics, but it was only right before Paris that I started being turned on to the qualifications process.  (I caught the OQS for Sport Climbing.)  I'm looking forward to seeing who qualifies for LA28 and how.  Obviously we don't have to worry about quota positions because of the host nation spots, and I wonder if that will affect who attends other competitions in the off season.  I also realize that since we always have a large delegation, it is hard to keep track of all of our athletes!  (There's something to be said about being a smaller nation with fewer athletes, as it's possible to more closely follow each one!)  But I am looking forward to diving into new sports, seeing who our stellar athletes are, and seeing how they perform leading up to and into the games at LA28.  

I am a Very lazy guy. More posts like this please 😉

I remember you posting about your son’s birth a little while ago, so the second photo officially makes me feel old @konig
