out in the quarterfinals Bankes was looking really good for most of it. -
You know that we could get back Vilnus and for example not have this "German" lands. The people who decided about Europe and World there have different plans for this. Believe me 99% has problems with Vilnus being Lithuanian and Lvov in Ukraine Do not judge Poland by "football fans", most of Polish did not like this hooligans too. They can devastate even things in Poland and create many dangerous situation... Fortunately mostly in league matches -
Bozzolo crashed in his race, and somehow they still advance? This should not be possible

No anti Russian and German vibe is really strong, but half of nation could admire German change after 2 world. We respect that they try to be over the past and not letting this happened again. Anti Ukraine feelings are really strong now, because they have a Bandera as a Hero, and not let for exhumation in Volhynia. This hits for our relations so strong. We are really cool with Belarussian. Really neutral with Czech and Slovakia. Lithuania too. I think even Polish People are into Baltics country more.

To be honest? Polish People nowadays like Lithuania. The main bad feelings are for Ukraine, Russia, Germany. Rest neighbours we are cool. I was in the Lithuania and have nice chats there, they react nicely when I told them I am Polish. If we speak about Lithuania it was a Little hard moment when Lithuania has a problem with polish language and schools and treat badly polish minority. If we speak about short Polish-Lithuanian war after I world or our Republic before it is not sth harmful and shameful for both nation. Vilnus was strongely connected with Poland.

got the 2 quotas because a skater can't get more than 16 points in the free skating even if they finish lower than that. With the other one being in the 12th position, Switzerland got exactly 28 points needed to qualify 2 skaters via the World Championships. -
My theory is that there were not enough ice rinks for all figure skaters and ice hockey players in USSR, so only those who had a bigger chance for medals could properly train. Since there were good pairs and dancers (and ice hockey teams), why bother about women?
