@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:

  • 4 weeks later...

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)

Yep. They show every detail by the way.

    • need to work on the celebrations... or just drop them?   Btw, these jerseys suck and I remember Zambia playing in all white with red numbers. At least they have orange on national flag but still...    
    • British Columbia in general and Vancouver in particular are awesome and it’s great more people got to discover it thanks to Vancouver 2010.
    • And of course the British being famous for curmudgeons, there were always plenty of curmudgeons to quote.  Then of course from the opening ceremony and the cycle race on the very first morning it was obviously going to be triumph, so everyone just shut up for a while.  
    • Yep, the amount of emergency services I heard at some point was a little extreme (for our little town), so I checked what was going on and saw they were all being called to a specific location. Until then I thought maybe it was part of a parade of trucks and agricultural vehicles that was on it's way from the next town over, decorated with lights and stuff.   Since I knew it was on the parade route, I was sure one of those big vehicles had hit people somehow (there were, besides the many vehicles, also two helicopters on the way, meaning it certainly wasn't about a single victim).   We picked our bikes and went to take a look, absolutely chaos in the area. Never saw so many services combined together, fire trucks from 20km away, ambulance after ambulance came racing by, people frantically trying to make way for them (the roads weren't really closed yet).   While there we heard someone who had been close say that the parade hadn't arrived yet and what seemed to have happened was that a car from the other side came onto the roundabout and simply never turned. "It's a massive drama over there, unbelievable", he said.   Quite quickly rumours started spreading of course, the first one turned out to be true: a middle aged (local) woman was behind the wheel and seems to have become unwell. Local security camera showed the car going at high speed right before the roundabout.   Plenty of rumours going around in terms of who were involved of course, and people keeping each other up to date to see if they know this or that family and such...   Never expected my little town to be big news in the Netherlands, even including some breaking broadcasts, live reporters and everything, damn. By far the biggest thing to happen here in my memory  
    • This is the home town of our very own @heywooduand @brunamoura    
    • For me, these were very good Olympics, and British sport benefited greatly from them, and is still benefiting. I fear it will be much worse here. Canada also benefited very good on Vancouver 2010 – this is very good see in the medal standings of subsequent Winter Games after 2010 and earlier.
    • Nobody hates Britain more than the British media so… I recall it being quite a pessimistic tone before the London games started.
    • I'm curious what was written before London 2012? Did they attack their own country, or did they just keep quiet?
    • Other winners at the PanAm Sports Awards Junior 2025            
    • Very true point.  Although I think at this point everyone is just holding their collective breath until the test event.  The NHL isn't going to rage anymore until then because it's not like that would make the arena progress go any quicker
