    Pictograms for the 2020 Asian Beach Games:

    Who ever designed the Beach Woodball pictogram has clearly never watched Woodball (it’s basically Croquet from what I’ve seen). Besides, that the pictograms are pretty generic. The 3D effect is a nice touch. I’m not the biggest fan of the Sport Climbing pictogram either. Surfing needs a better position too.

    Read about this the other day, they still re-rehired over 100 officers from the "dissolved" police and some black people living there still bitch about the chief of the "new" police being white and most of the captains likewise. It's hardly a solution to follow. Moreover the issue in Minnesota is not corruption but the alleged racism and brutality so something completely different.

    No news that painkillers/gout medication is pretty big in football. Sadly

    It has, that one is for the larger/longer one.  I appreciate it.  COVID19 has helped and hurt.  I can not travel anywhere nor can I get anything from other libraries, but is has allowed me to work on what I do have, and can access.  So good and bad.

    I still can't get over how easy they publish lists of class A and B licenses and so on, but how completely secret they are about the incredibly, totally important IBU Qualifying Points List that's nowhere to be found

    I also wonder if there is a thought process in the IBU that goes like this.
     
    We will try a venue with the IBU Junior/Youth Cups ... if successful, we will "promote" you to consideration for IBU Cup/ events... if successful, promotion to WC events.  If successful. World Championships.

    Convenient.  Just in time for the 2040 Olympics.

    And the horse?  We have heard those excuses before from horses.   I never trust ‘em.

    Actually it is not....she had already missed three tests before the last World Championships, so should not have been running there at all, if the rules had been properly applied.

    I know (even though it doesn't mean national federations are not guilty here) but I mean IOC, why IOC never tried to stop him for half century ! this guy was an IOC member !!! IOC is not innocent here. it's impossible to think nobody in IOC wasn't aware of his actions, I mean I knew as a normal person ! how come IOC didn't ?
     
    we should thank German TV, ARD for that report, otherwise this guy was still at power. only death could make him go and I'm not even sure about that, he would found a way to bribe death too !

    a few details revealed by Antonio Urso (current Italian and European Federation's president, the only man who in the last 10 years tried togo against Ajan, but got beaten big time all the times) speaking with Italian media...
     
    the photo of the voting paper reported in the McLaren book was taken by him at the latest IWF Board elections (when he got beaten once again by the Hungarian "devil")...
     
    and he explained that all the voting members were given an anonymous cellular phone with an unregistered Kazakh sim and after the vote they had to make a photo of the voting paper with the preference given to Ajan and send it to a phone number not associated to any known people...
     
    after doing so, they received a sms with the instructions to deposit the amount of money they were promised in exchange for voting for Ajan...
     
    moreover, he added that right now he and a few other IWF members not involved with Ajan's interests are writing a new "Constitution" for the IWF and they hope it will be ready by the end of this year, so to replace all the people and the rules that favoured Ajan's tenure...
     
    by the way, he also looks convinced that despite any effort to fix the IWF's troubles, Paris 2024 will be the last appearance of this sport at the Olympic Games...and actually he wouldn't be surprised if the IOC comes back on their decisions and get Weightlifting out of the Games already in 2024...

    The problem all sports have is that it is impossible to get rid of the guy that controls the money.  National Federations know they’ll get cut off if they vote him down at meetings,

    I read the whole report, this pictures Tamas Ajan as devil himself while I agree with that, I wonder why nobody stopped this devil in past 45 years ?! hard to believe nobody in IOC/WADA/etc knew how corrupt he is. everybody in weightlifting community knows about him. I (as a normal sport fan) am not even an expert in this sport and I know some of his dirty actions.
     
    I really hope they kick all of his friends out of IWF, maybe they even have to destroy IWF and create something new. this organization is corrupt to the core. I think this lady Ursula Papandrea is a good person but she is surrounded by Ajan's friends.
