Thank you for broadening my horizons ;)

 

I'll broaden it even more - the second girl who did this shoot (Marta Wojcik) later married :HUN Viktor Knoch ;)

I didn't want to jinx it before the final by saying that Shaoang almost never loses from lane 1. :d

 

1 gold and 2 bronze medals, truly an amazing Winter Games for us. 

Hopefully :HUN will be able to develop a competitive short track team after the Liu brothers retire. I'd imagine they have increased the profile of the sport in Hungary quite a bit.

During today's short track finals I saw on TV that there was an Italian guy in the stands with writing on the huge paper card:

 

"FORZA RE DI POLONIA CONQUISTA L'ORIENTE!"

 

@phelps @Dunadan @Gianlu33 what was it? what does it really mean?

 

Because I kind of think that... I sort of lost it in translation.

I watched this live (did not see the 2018 gold live and after the other Liu being sort of robbed in the 1000m I promised I will stop watching short track), but finally he did!

As it is said "Fate plays for a draw" - 1 gold (sort of) taken away, 1 gold won.

And few days before the OG it wasnt even sure that Liu Shaoang can compete - now he goes home with 1 gold and 2 bronze...

The first part means "Go, king of Poland" - not sure who they refer to (I assume its a Polish athlete)

And the last is something like "take over the Orient" or "capture the Orient" - i.e. "take Beijing by storm" meaning perform exceptionally well

I am not native Italian speaker just trying to find out by logic.

Maybe native Italian speakers can add something which was lost to me

    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW. 
    • Roki Sasaki has been posted for MLB transfer. Dodgers vs everyone else Part 175?
