Women's Volleyball FIVB Nations League 2026   Multi-Stage Event - 3 June 2026 - 26 July 2026     Official Website Programme Results System Facebook Page Discussion Thread

I'm on the wrong side of 40 (Ben Stiller vibes) so yes, I remember Hip Hap Hop haha. I don't remember the presenter's name but I recall his blonde mullet  I live basically 90-120 minutes car drive to the Czech border (and yes, I've been to to old CSRS where I ordered a beer in German to say the very least alas I've also ordered  a beer speaking German in Hungary so we're all in the same sphere anyway  )

I keep writing about it – about the wasted opportunity in 2006 and now. The government should have started doing this in 2019, when we were awarded the Olympics. And it should have been a bipartisan program, because we've had probably 3 prime ministers since then? Did you see what it looked like? The bobsleigh track was built literally at the last minute. Of course, they had a brilliant excuse: it was Covid, but I'm not convinced of that. 5 years have passed since 2021. Work could have started then and you're right that there's simply a miss of political plan and interest. But why apply to host these Olympics if you don't want doing anything?

It doesnt's take a genius to figure out ice hockey is popular in Slovakia hehe (for someone living in Poland where 95% of ice hockey clubs are based in southern Poland  (Tatra region) with the exception of the now defunct Stoczniowiec Gdansk or TKP (Towimor) Toruń. And it does help Jaromir Jagr was the ultimate star when I left my adolescent days (Jari Kurri was before my time but an active veteran) and probably Robert Svehla and Petrovicky were the first two I realized were Slovakian than Czech). Then again I remember Drahomir Kadlec and Bedrich Scerban and Lubomir Sekeras more than anything. Only the last one was Slovakian.   Overall from our 7 neighbors Czechia, Slovakia, Belarus get the positive vibes. Ukraine a solid 4th. Lithuania also a positive median. Germany and Russia are down the order to say the very least for historical purposes 

no, we don't, because we lack the most important thing of them all: the interest    our people living in the mountain territories are only interested in making money with tourism and our politicians and 90% of the Country don't give a damn to Winter Sports because they all come from places where they don't even have a true Winter   Winter Sports here are marginals, especially the competitive side   until you realize that, you will never be able to understand why Italy has the history they have and why we will never put those sports under the spotlight

sure! for me, all the medals we won in "artistic activities" (Summer and Winter, it doesn't matter) are up for grabs  to me, it's like we never won them 

In all seriousness, I'm pretty sure you can be considered a powerhouse. There aren't many countries that regularly win multiple medals at the Winter Olympics while also sending more than a hundred athletes each time.

Franco Menichelli (Artistic Gymnastics, 5 Olympic medals between 1960 and 1964, when he won above all the gold medal in the Floor exercise) dies at the age of 84
