There are quite a lot of Serbs in Aus, but I don’t know if they occupy crucial swing constituences.

Yeah, I'm well aware of the Balkan diaspora in Australia but I assume the local politicians want to appease the Aboriginal voters more? I have no idea how the ethnicity numbers look like in the urban states (Victoria, Queensland or NSW).

Dont get why Aboriginal or not would play any role in this case. As far as I saw, backlash from AU citizens was almost general (except maybe part of ethnic Serbs in Australia), irrespective of ethnic background.

 

Agree with those who say the main responsibility is with the politicians.

Probably the reasoning was “we need the No 1 to come here and play no matter what, hopefully the rubes will not notice he is not vaccinated”. Well it turned out differently.

Even said that, the martyrology built around Djokovic by some (such as his father) was laughable. His suffering is comparable to Jesus’s, of course LMAO. Wonder when the compulsory Nazi Germany / concentration camp analogy will come (among Covidiots in particular it is fashionable after all with regards to everything Covid)

On the topic of the Australian Open (if we're allowed to talk about this yet :d), it looks like we will have the most Greeks ever at a Grand Slam tournament.

 

We had 5 Greeks across all categories at the 2021 US Open, I think that might have been the previous record until now. As long as nobody withdraws, we have 7 Greeks so far and possibly 8 (if Petros Tsitsipas gets another doubles wildcard :lol:).

 

Stefanos Tsitsipas in men's main draw and Theodoros Mitsakos in boys' qualifying, Maria Sakkari in women's main draw, Valentini Grammatikopoulou and Despina Papamichail in women's qualifying, Michaela Laki in girls' main draw, and Dimitra Pavlou in girls' qualifying.

 

At the 2014 US Open we had zero representatives in any category, so it's nice to see how much progress we have made since then. Also interesting to note that Pavlou is Sakkari's first cousin and this will be her first time at a Grand Slam.

Looks like it's not, as this portal is mostly satirical. But many of the Croatian media reported it, so I also bought it :lol:

Djokovic will be allowed to stay in Australia. Obviously he can afford lawyers that Voracova couldn't. Rich & famous always get the easier life. What else is new?

    • I have reported this again and they said it should be fixed now, please let me know if you are still facing issues.
    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa

    • Mykolas and Rūta are athletes of the year,no surprises there.
