    Methinks yes, and even more for Ainslie, at best you can consider it in the "same" event if an event is replaced by another one, which is not the case here.

    Because the super dysfunctional US election system punishes that party which splits first.

    Because "we" eat frogs (although it's not something common. I personally never ate frogs and I don't ever want to try  same with snails)

    We were all issued with hand sanitizers today at work. Considering the shops are all sold out of these, I feel like I have been given a piece of treasure

    Exactly 4 years ago the new Totallympics forum had been opened
     
    Many users remained, some users left and some new users arrived, but overall I think it has been a beautiful journey which is of course always in progress.
     
    Here you can find the first thread and the very first posts of the new Totallympics: Totallympics New Start
     
    Happy Birthday Totallympics!

    Ofc I don't know how it is in USA, but every jewish person I've met in my country (mostly secular ones) cares way more about local politics than about middle east conflicts. Because, you know, this is the country they were born and live in.

    2012 and 2016 RS:X Olympic champion Dorian van Rijsselberghe has announced his retirement after failing to qualify for Tokyo 2020 (i.e. winning only silver at the world championships  ). He said he's just not in the right mindset anymore to give everything for the sport and said a gold medal "is worth a lot to me, but not my marriage", so he's going to focus on family life. He's also said he is going to aid Badloe in his quest to be the new Olympic champion.

    A bad month for Hungary with five deaths including Tamas Wichmann who won three medals in sprint canoeing between 1968-80. He also won nine world titles. Eva Szekely was Olympic champion in the 200m breaststroke in 1952 and followed up with silver in 1956. From a sporting family, her husband Desso Gyarmati won medals at five consecutive games in water polo including three golds. Her daughter Andrea was also a swimmer and won two medals in Munich in 1972.
     
    Alexander Skvortsov was a member of the Soviet ice hockey team that famously lost to the Americans at Lake Placid in 1980. However, he gained redemption when the Red Machine got back on track to win gold four years later.
     
    Last, but not least, the deaths of two athletes who competed at the last Olympics in Rio. Abadi Hadis was an Ethiopian middle distance runner who, although only 22, had been ill for sometime. Braian Toledo of Argentina was Youth Olympic champion in the javelin in 2010 and went on to compete in London and Rio where he finished tenth. Sadly he died in a traffic accident aged just 26.

    Final Standing available here
     
     Dolby  Monzanator   Speedy  
     
    @Dolby was second before the final day of the contest. But by predicting the gold and silver medallists correctly, he took the top spot on the podium. @Dolby wins his first medal of the year and India's second. Congratulation with the gold medal, @Dolby!  
     
    @Monzanator was the leading man going in to the final day, but he had to see the gold medal go to Dolby. This must feel a bit as a disappointment for him. However, a very good contest from @Monzanator's side. He can be proud of his predictions overall. First medal of the season for @Monzanator and Poland's second this month. Well done!
     
    What a month for the Polish predictiors! @Speedy secures Poland yet another medal. 8 correct predicted gold medallists paved the way to a podium place for @Speedy. It's his first medal this season and Poland's third medal this month. Well deserved, @Speedy. Congrats! 
     
    @PakoNatxo was close of winnning his first prediction contest medal. He has another shot in the track cycling WCHs prediction contest where he might end up with a medal. Good contest from @George_D. He was never in the top 3, but was around the top 5 throughout the most of the contest. One perfect prediction wasn't enough to win a medal this time for @Agger. The Dane will seek his luck in the track cycling WCHs prediction contest where he has a decent chance to take a medal.
     
    Lastly, thanks to all who participated! The second prediction contest of the month has been concluded. Now only the third, and last, contest of the month is left. The track cycling contest will also has its conclusion today, so stay tuned for the final standing. 
     
    That's all from me, your prediction contest manager, Wumo.

    The easy thing for the Chinese government is that they don't have to give a crap about human rights, and they don't. That makes it a whole lot easier to control whatever does or does not come out, for example.

    Bailey should win, his biggest threat would be bouldering as I doubt he'll finish any lower the second in lead. The athlete with the best chance to match him points total is Granja, but he'll need to have a better bouldering and lead performance. I guess Duffy also has a chance too
