I've heard about Caravaggio long before wikipedia was invented   I wonder how would these modern kids learn about stuff without the luxury of internet?

I'm sure that someone would eventually find a youth and urban way to make them learn what they need to know...

Still Textbooks in California at least. I remember him from me college level European History course (talk about a hard class, and that’s coming from someone who’s favorite subject is history)

Haha yes,

 

but yep, made some quick reviews, and It was always about womens in our alpine skiing, this is in fact really the very very first time ever when Slovakia will field 3 male skiers in one World Cup race

Well, the Jasna complex has to provide some depth   Poland is like back in the stone age compared to Slovakia. Hell, every single infrastructure or renovation is funded by the Slovakians on our side of the border already

Ski jumping is exception from the rule in Poland. However when Stoch, Zyla  co. hang up their skis we can drop to the levels of Finland where any Top 30 placing will be a reason for success. We've wasted one generation already as our B team is errupting in flames. We don't have any staying power from boys born in the late 90s. Okay, this isn't a ski jumping thread but it's a really low-hanging fruit compared to alpine skiing.

 

We have ONE senior member in the alpine skiing team (Maryna G-D). The men's team has been disbanded and we have a bunch of no-name juniors. Maciej Bydlinski was told he's too old to be provided for by our fed and retired at age 28. He's an Eurosport expert now. Our most famous slalom piste at Nosal hasn't been renovated since the 1980s. We're lucky it hasn't been closed down despite various rumours over the years. Jasna is like a Rolls compared to this joint
