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
