Beaumont did 21 miles and 1,619 yards, missing the world record by a mile.

In Uruguay, Cristian Rodríguez is nicknamed Cebolla (onion), Maximiliano Pereira is nicknamed Mono (monkey), Carlos Sánchez is nicknamed Pato (duck), and of course Sebastián Abreu is nicknamed Loco (crazy).

Brazil voted for the Morocco bid! Russia voted for the North American bid!

I have 39 degrees Celsius of World Cup fever!

In 1987, Los Angeles Lakers scored a 40-4 in the first quarter versus the Sacramento Kings. In 1977, the Milwaukee Bucks scored a 41-11 in the last quarter versus the Atlanta Hawks.

Does American high school basketball count? https://www.sbnation.com/lookit/2017/12/6/16741394/montana-high-school-basketball-102-0 According to this, there has never been a shutout in a quarter in the history of NBA: http://www.nba.com/history/records/regular_points.html In 1972, the Buffalo Braves scored 58-23 versus the Boston Celtics in the last quarter (and still lost 126-118). In 1991, the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated Miami Heat 148-80, with a fourth quarter of 42-13.

Spain finished 11th in points, above all European countries except England. Scotland, Wales and France had a terrible season.

Uruguay got just 14 medals at the 2018 South American Youth Games. I'd happy even with no medals at the Youth Olympics.

Justified won at the Belmont Stakes with a time of 2'28.18, becoming the 13rd horse to claim the Triple Crown.

We defeated Bolivia, yeah!

I don't think that Mexico can beat either Canada or the United States in either men's or women's tournament.

There's only 10 entries for the Belmont Stakes. It seems ridiculously low to me, I would expect around two dozens of horses.

Ireland finished 3rd, after defeating Spain, United States and England.

In IndyCar, a Chevrolet executive crashed the pace car just before the race start.

Uruguay has 14 medals so far, not too bad, but worse than hosts Bolivia.

Yeah right.

I also dislike race walking, but because they walk awkardly. I don't find it interesting at all. Instead, the Olympics and other games should have half-marathons and 4 x 5km mixed relays.

Next weekend it's the London Sevens at Twickenham Stadium. The wildcard team is Ireland.

Thread bump!
