@hckosice Chris Mazder is really enjoying his adventures in Slovakia. Y’all better not be trying to convert his nationality. He’s all we have left (a little bit of a lie, but still, don’t take him).

 

Awesome, do you know where exactly ? in the Tatras I guess :)

 

This remind me, do you know that another 1 USA olympic medalist and winner is regularly spending his vacations in Slovakia, Mike Bryan, well, thanks to his slovak wife :d

Damn! You guessed exactly right. He was in/at High Tatras. He said that is not what he pictured Slovakia looking like (I think he was with your good men’s luger as well). 

 

Alright, Bahrain you can stop taking these athletes. It was funny and fine at Rory Sabitini (I’m so upset I can’t even spell right :p), but now your going to far.

1. what you mean, not what he pictured looking like ? no one tried to torture and kill him for fun in some local old fashioned dubious hostel factory ? :d

 

2. yeah, but it doesn´t always work though...we even tried Roger Federer, but his wife Mirka apparently did not accomplished her mission perfectly :p  same Adriana Sklenaříková with the former french football playmaker Karembeu few decades ago...but, you know, we are working, we have plans :whistle:

Thinking about Niki’s crash got me thinking about watching horrific crashes. I was curious to know if any other users on here have the Georgian Luger crash from 2010. It’s a surreal experience (I watched it like 2 years ago maybe, but can see it vividly in my mind still)

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
