I think Moussambani’s pool was smaller 

Yes, Nike is excellent in making people believe they care about important stuff....with the sole actual goal of making more money. It's rather obvious they're not doing it out of the good of their hearts, but it's smart marketing for sure  

I told you before I'm a cynical realist. Take it or leave it.
 
As for this thread I said before, it's gonna be late May at earliest when Japan makes some kind of decision. Yeah, Japan, not US Track & Field or whomever else. If you wanna waste two months on dabbling what the decision will be, it's your choice. Shinzo Abe has said the preparations for the Games will continue despite the virus outbreak. That kills any sort of discussion for now. Everything else is pure speculation and unneccessary drama I prefer to ignore.

Luckily Totallympics (and whatever other communities you're active in online) is still working to offer some distraction. Some dumb virus ain't gonna take Totallympians away or we'll all take our pitchforks and torches.

Célia Aymonier (biathlon) is ending her career too, I wasn't expecting that :O Although it's quite understandable.

Our Slovak charmer flirting with the few female users on here  Let's get the tequila rolling  

Hi

I think my issue comes from the “mascots” being dogs. I hate dogs, they are not wonderful/loving cats.

Great to have yuesey in my team..now feeling a bit stronger
 

Finally a teammate 

no, here the lockdown isn't even close to the Chinese method...and in any case, here a total lockdown like Wuhan's wouldn't work...
 
different Countries, different culture, different attitude even toward an emergency like this one and above all, Italian people are a lot more indisciplined than people from the Far East...
 
by the way, we should start separating the bad situation in Italy from the dramatic, awful situation in Lombardy...
 
of today's 4800+ new positive tests, 3251 are here in Lombardy...
 
and also 546 new deaths out of 793 are here in Lombardy (the most of them in Bergamo province, today's worst in the Country)...
 
frankly, if this virus doesn't kill me in the next few weeks, my "regular" gastric problems will do it...thanks to this stressful situation, they have started to get worse and worse...it looks I'm going back to the very difficult days of the early 2000' when I was really in trouble because of them...

Happy Birthday ? 

Always knew @heywoodu was a sheep shagger...

I'm not picking for anything, I'm just here lurking cuz it is my birthday

19, not 8. I’m a hot mess (as always) this morning.

Well, I’ve been up at 1 lately, so might not be an issue. 

I would suggest we're not in the USA and so we can assume people here don't get spontaneous heart attacks from seeing slightly interesting words  

As the resident virtual lawyer on the forum, I highly advise you @OlympicIRL that you politely, but firmly and promptly remove this minor canine from the scene.
 
 

 
 
It's PG schedule and @Olympian1010 parents or legal guardians might try to cancel the contest.

Too much information....  

No, Snooker (pronounced the correct way) is definitely a sport 

Clearly you didn’t see my elbow bump as a good enough indication 

Different culture, different habits, you´ll never understand ours I guess

To all the doctors in this group..... 
 
Hats off to you guys........ Where many of us are working from home where the worst may be watching a bad netfix episode... This is world War 3 and you are in the trenches in blood and grime..... 
Stay strong..... Without a doubt this will turn

Sure, you are welcome to do that here
