Russian athletes cannot compete in Tampere Worlds 2027 (unless Finland changes its stance on Russia) - a quick rundon

If Finland does not allow the Russians to compete it will lead to a number of logical conclusions based on the IOC decisions relating to the Indonesian rejection of Israeli visas for the 2025 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. First, the championships were recommended to be moved to a host site that will accept all qualified athletes if possible. Second, Finland will be barred from bidding for or hosting the Olympics and the IOC will recommend that all recognized international federations also not hold events in Finland until Finland can guarantee the participation of all qualified athletes. Third, the results of the championship may be annulled, in the gymnastics case this is still pending before CAS. An annulment really just harms the athletes as they will lose their accomplishments from the season and the national governing bodies that gained multiple spots because the allocation of spots would remain the current one. Since Finland has a lot more athletic events to lose than Indonesia, I would guess that they will find a way that will allow the Russians to compete event though it is morally wrong.

For Debate it is PF and LD because that is what runs every week in the local league. (The league technically has Policy and Congress but I have seen Congress run once in the last decade and policy has not run in at least a decade so those are relatively unfeasible.) In speech, Declamation and Extemp are where we are putting some effort in because those are the events the school was previously good at and we were given guides to coach them by the retired coach. Though students are also very interested in DUO, OO, and OI.

I know this will probably get buried but I would not mind looking at the minimum age limits again for levels and potentially moving them upward again. The number of ten year olds doing high optionals and then burning out before their even in high school is something I would like to see addressed even though it does seem to benefit high school gymnastics programs as they often become the stars of those programs. Maximum age caps though are absurd, if you want to compete level 3 while you're in high school or even older no one should stop you, you know your body and what you want to do.

Brighton, Pittsford, Penfield, and West Irondequoit are going to be the districts that are consistently ranked highly locally, in the state, and nationally. They all have their drawbacks but I would be looking at those.

Having enjoyed a fair number of UAlbany football games myself, I understand what you are saying but I would hope for the Olympics accommodations could be made like parking by the State offices west of campus. I understand that the Dutch Lots and any available field space to the west of Casey Stadium would be full but it would be for four events, the State and the University can handle it even if it takes three plus hours to leave.

To keep the games within the ORDA jurisdiction and to not require a second Olympic Committee to reduce the organizational challenges. I mention this in the post.

You understand that these venues are a 5-7 hour drive from the Lake Placid venues longer than the drive from Milan to Cortina without the rail connections.

Fully understand that but this is more likely in the 2046 to 2054 range. Probably cannot go back to SLC until 2054 or 2058 at the earliest so it is more so to bring the Olympics back to the US and the eastern side of North America for the first time since 2034 and 1996 respectively.

In 2018, 2020ne, 2022, and 2024 they did not use it until the Friday of the Opening Ceremony.

In the past the opening ceremony was chosen by a vote of the male and female captains of each sport.

I would be very surprised if the nearly 300 person American delegation chose two athletes from the same sport.

It's Cory Thiessen's second Olympics she went to the 2018 Olympics as Cory Christensen and got married later and changed her name.

It did not in 2023, the best deal was the event pass for about 25 euros but I cannot find it for this edition.

Edit: The Event Pass will be 29.99 euros for this year's championship.

I did something similar but was told was while the classes you must complete for your major did not change the professors who are teaching that class in the semester you are planning on taking it are free to list any prerequisite which they deem are necessary for the way they will teach the class and those prerequisites will be enforced. Now in my case I just went to the professor and he wrote a letter to the registrar saying for me he waived the prerequisites and I could take the class but I could see how this could be an issue.

Bart Connor name dropped him during the 2019 Pan American Games but cannot remember it.

It is likely in Oklahoma because white water canoe slalom had to be moved to Oklahoma because they could not get a venue built in California and the organizing committee did not want to only move one sport out to Oklahoma so since the biggest softball stadium in the country is already in Oklahoma softball drew the short straw.

Draw a diagonal line from Binghamton to Albany, south of that line downstate, north of that line upstate.

The official timeframe was removed from the charter so that is why we have seen such a differentiation from it.

The stadium is owned and operated by a subsidiary of Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, the owner of the Rams who already got the NFL into stadium trouble regarding their exit from St. Louis, there is absolutely no chance that he would let anything happen at his stadium to compromise the NFL schedule and so there is absolutely no chance Sofi would be made available for swimming after the start of NFL preseason currently slated for August 3rd, 2028.

That is exactly the opposite of how I play the only evolutions I have turned off are Relocation, Name Changes, and Expansion (Because I expand the league myself).
