need to work on the celebrations... or just drop them? Btw, these jerseys suck and I remember Zambia playing in all white with red numbers. At least they have orange on national flag but still...

British Columbia in general and Vancouver in particular are awesome and it’s great more people got to discover it thanks to Vancouver 2010.

And of course the British being famous for curmudgeons, there were always plenty of curmudgeons to quote. Then of course from the opening ceremony and the cycle race on the very first morning it was obviously going to be triumph, so everyone just shut up for a while.

Yep, the amount of emergency services I heard at some point was a little extreme (for our little town), so I checked what was going on and saw they were all being called to a specific location. Until then I thought maybe it was part of a parade of trucks and agricultural vehicles that was on it's way from the next town over, decorated with lights and stuff. Since I knew it was on the parade route, I was sure one of those big vehicles had hit people somehow (there were, besides the many vehicles, also two helicopters on the way, meaning it certainly wasn't about a single victim). We picked our bikes and went to take a look, absolutely chaos in the area. Never saw so many services combined together, fire trucks from 20km away, ambulance after ambulance came racing by, people frantically trying to make way for them (the roads weren't really closed yet). While there we heard someone who had been close say that the parade hadn't arrived yet and what seemed to have happened was that a car from the other side came onto the roundabout and simply never turned. "It's a massive drama over there, unbelievable", he said. Quite quickly rumours started spreading of course, the first one turned out to be true: a middle aged (local) woman was behind the wheel and seems to have become unwell. Local security camera showed the car going at high speed right before the roundabout. Plenty of rumours going around in terms of who were involved of course, and people keeping each other up to date to see if they know this or that family and such... Never expected my little town to be big news in the Netherlands, even including some breaking broadcasts, live reporters and everything, damn. By far the biggest thing to happen here in my memory

This is the home town of our very own @heywooduand @brunamoura

For me, these were very good Olympics, and British sport benefited greatly from them, and is still benefiting. I fear it will be much worse here. Canada also benefited very good on Vancouver 2010 – this is very good see in the medal standings of subsequent Winter Games after 2010 and earlier.

Nobody hates Britain more than the British media so… I recall it being quite a pessimistic tone before the London games started.

I'm curious what was written before London 2012? Did they attack their own country, or did they just keep quiet?

Other winners at the PanAm Sports Awards Junior 2025

Very true point. Although I think at this point everyone is just holding their collective breath until the test event. The NHL isn't going to rage anymore until then because it's not like that would make the arena progress go any quicker

Czech

ROBERTO BONILLA - SWIMMING

You look like an objective man, so I will ask you: which beer is better? Polish or Czech?

With all respect to you person but, you're from Africa and probably you haven`t nothing about our continent. You know as much about Russia and Ukraine conflict as I know about the conflict in South Sudan- which is nothing But I don't comment on things, what about I know nothing...

Egypt come back with Marmoush and Salah 2 - 1 Less easy than expected the Bafana-Bafana won 2 - 1

Ivana Spagna - Un Natale Che Non Finira' Elio e le Storie Tese (ft. Graziano Romani) - Christmas With The Yours This song was released as a charity single 1995

Happy to see good names for Brazil, this sport used to be our main strength, it was sad to finish Paris 2024 without any medals.

Do you think Italy deserved to win in 1990?

Well, I think everyone’s glad that’s the case. I also haven’t heard any catastrophic reports about the hockey stadium in the last few days.

After that performance like that, the concert hall will be on fire – we need someone like that, not some nice guys who are forgotten 5 minutes after the song ends. I think that if someone is so good, they don't have to apply, but other people should go to his and ask to can appear.

Wow... kinda limiting your hosting options when you'll only go somewhere with a long-track oval With figure skating often being a cash cow, you'd think you'd want a lot more flexibility in moving it around

@copravolley Apparently he didn't appear at auditions after which our TV was selecting 10 artists competing

Poland has so many great artists with amazing voices, yet it's fielding mediocre singers at Eurovision. Send this guy, he'll be a hit!
