Natalia Kaliszek i Maksym Spodyriew zdobyli kwalifikacje na Igrzyska w Pekinie zajmując 12 miejsca na MŚ!

I don't know, but I doubt that in current times an other event which would be counted to Olympic ranking would be held.

I need a help, who knows how points are countitng during Grand Prix? I'm asking because Julia Walczyk was second highest ranked European fencer (not counting countries which already have a team quota) before Grand Prix in Doha. Today she sadly didn't make even Round of 128, but her main opponents from Maria Teresa Diaz and Nicole Pustilnik didn't impressed today as well, Maria lost to another our girl Martyna Jelińska and then had on her road Pustilnik who had bye in first round, Nicole also lost to Martyna. This mean that despite not being in Round of 128 Julia still might stay as second highest ranked European or not?

Entry list for next week European Championships in Moscow http://ewfces.com/finalentrylist.php?id=33&comp=41

Here you can check the results of current Grand Slam in Tbilisi https://www.ijf.org/competition/2233/results Nice to see Chinese judokas there, first time since pandemic stopped everything and already one women, Yang Junxia on -63kg made the final where she lost to Canadian Beauchemin-Pinard.

Yesterday Ruusuvuori made a upset and defeat Alexander Zverev! Also Cameron Norrie defeats ninth seed Grigor Dimitrov. Joao Sousa wins his first match in ATP main draw tournament since October 2019 against O'Connell in three tight sets. Ana Konjuh made a impressive run here and after defeating Madison Keys she beats also Iga Świątek Now she will play against Anastasija Sevastova who didn't played a match today due to Simona Halep withdrawal (right shoulder injury).

I think that not too much people care about it but inaugural American Song Contest is postponed to 2022. Of course Covid-19 restrictions is main reason.

Not too good performance from Natalia and Maksym Highly probably they will finish on 12th place, which still is good, their best place on World was 11st, at previous Worlds.

I'm sorry, I didn't noticed that I didn't tagged you

Kórnik Castle The current look of the castle resembles Gothic Revival architecture, one of the popular historicising styles in the 19th century. The main entrance to the castle is located at the northern side. Its characteristic feature is a four-centred arch at the top of the window above the entrance. Up until the interwar period the castle was entered through the so-called babiniec - a barbican-shaped chamber which was subsequently demolished in the years 1925–1939. The western side of the castle features an expanded terrace overlooking Lake Kórnik. The southern side is dominated by a chaitya arch, which was probably modelled on the Royal Pavilion in Brighton and the Islamic architecture of India. On the eastern side, there is a Gothic Revival tower whose red brick façade clearly contrasts with the rest of the castle. The tower was erected during the remodelling of the castle by Tytus Działyński. Also near the entry to the Kórnik Castle, there are historic outbuildings and a carriage house. The castle is surrounded by Kórnik Arboretum founded by Count Tytus Działyński in the first half of the 19th century - the oldest and largest one in Poland as well as the fourth largest arboretum in Europe covering around 40 hectares and containing more than 3300 taxa of trees and shrubs which includes rich collections of rhododendrons, azaleas, magnolias, conifers, lilacs, apple trees, cherries, meadowsweets, honeysuckles, poplars, birches, and other woody species from all over the world. Old specimens of native and alien trees and shrubs can be seen there, such as lindens, beeches, oaks, maidenhair trees, arborvitaes, spruces, and firs. The first outstanding representative of the Działyński family was Teofila Szołdrska-Potulicka née Działyńska (1714-1790). After the death of her first husband, Stefan Szołdrski, and the divorce from the second Aleksander Potulicki, Teofila devoted her life to the cultural and economic development of Kórnik and the reconstruction of the residence in the middle of the 18th century. Next to the castle, she arranged a French-style garden (now, after reconstruction in the 19th century, earlier mentioned arboretum), established tree nurseries and a zoo with exotic plants and animals, and took care of the city's development, bringing German colonial craftsmen to it. The castle itself was completely rebuilt in the baroque style. The portrait of Teofila in a white dress, painted by Antoine Pesne, preserved to this day in the castle, gave rise to the legend of the White Lady - one of the most famous ghosts in Polish castles.

And we are off! In late February, at the beginning of the TAISC 2021, organizing committee promised take everyone to the trip around Poland and now keeps the word! From today until the day of the Opening Ceremony we will show a beautiful and important places around whole country. I believe that when the world will come back to normal, in some time, many of you will want visit those places personally. Without further ado... We will start with... Monuments of history! It's one of the forms of protection of monuments in Poland, specified in the Act on the protection and care of monuments. It is awarded to immovable monuments of special historical, scientific and artistic value, settled in the public awareness and of great importance for the cultural heritage of Poland. The list of historical monuments is open. It contains objects and areas representing the most outstanding group of monuments, reflecting the richness and diversity of cultural heritage in the country. These include, apart from individual objects, also the Old Town complexes, composed cultural landscapes, works of defensive construction, battlefields, canals, building complexes and monastic complexes. The purpose of establishing historical monuments is to distinguish the most valuable and most important historic buildings in Poland. First monument will be presented in just few minutes...

I wonder why no one (any media in both TV and internet and even no news from our NOC) didn't confirm yet our new quotas from this event, both in women's 10m air rifle and women's trap

Maybe they will "unretire", lately Oktawia Nowacka did it and also 36yo Paweł Korzeniowski will try qualify to another Olympics tomorrow and in Sunday at Polish Grand Prix

So, Belarus will not compete first time since their debut in 2004.

Recently also Agnieszka Cyl joined to our biathlon coach team.

Tbh I didnt know what happened that suddenly(?) we have chances for so many quotas in shooting, but its good surprise, at least for me

They are higher as well than Chinese pair

Very good dance from Natalia and Maksym, so far are second I hope it will be enough for starting tomorrow and for Olympic quota

Tomorrow another Grand Slam will start, this time in Tbilisi, but without French team which was forced to withdraw due to positive covid-19 test among members of the team

Congratulations, your post is now on good way to be among top10 moments of TAISC 2021 just after the one from guy from Slovonia about title of the song and innocent souls
