  1. For that price you can get 2 tickets to see Canada play Bosnia in Toronto.
  2. I thought in cases of existing open sports (Artistic Swimming, equestrian, sailing) there would be no requirement. And maybe this should also lead to shooting going back to being an open competition instead of gender segregated. @StefanMUC This rule doesn't just cover trans, but it does cover the likely inciting incident for all of this in the sports world. The Rio 2016 800m final. The highest place biological female was 4th that night.
  3. I don't mind the thought that the Olympics should be moved forward into January. Have 2030 run January 18 to February 3. Para 13th to 24th.
  4. They'd have to change the IOC constitution to add sports not on ice or snow to the OWGs. I think the winter version has a lot going for it when it comes to venue management. Almost every build is for at least 4 medal events. Nordic Combined gets a lot of flake but it is using venues that would exist anyway and provides for more ticketing. I would leave things generally as they are currently with adding women's Nordic Combined. Work with sliding to replace monobob with a 4 women version. Add in ski cross team. Ice cross. Call it a day. Oh and unify biathlon distances like cross country has. I don't support synchro skating anymore because I think synchro swimming should be cut.
  5. On the whole the sliding sports have good representation across the main regions that participate in winter sport. As for competitiveness. If the sliding sports are out for competitiveness so should diving, badminton and table tennis be as well on the summer side.
  6. Again does not make sense to remove sliding when any and every potential host has access to a track. Norway - Lillehammer Sweden - Lillehammer or Sigunda Germany - pick one Switzerland - St Moritz Austria - Igls Italy - Cortina France - La Plagne Canada - Whistler or renovated Calgary USA - Park City or Lake Placid Japan - Pyeongchang or redevelopment of Nagano China - Xiaohaitou Korea - Pyeongchang Kazakhstan - Sochi Russia - Sochi And those are the only countries that can host.
  7. You look at junior results and the ages of many athletes and there is still potential. If they are supported well.
  8. Does not make sense when the next 3 hosts all have active sliding centres. And the only hosts I have heard as potential backups for when Switzerland falls through also have tracks in place or just in need of renovation. Also the list of places that can host the OWG all are near enough to a track that it should never matter at this point anymore with the exception of Almaty.
  9. CBC use to be the envy of the world with their coverage. It has just gotten so bad.
  10. Honestly the commercials are so bad with CBC now I am about to give up. One section has been interrupted by 2 full commercial breaks and a side-by-side with no sound.
  11. I get that a lot travelling. I don't take a lot of photos and people think I'm weird. I remember how things made me feel and that is enough.
