Olympian1010 7,659 Posted June 28, 2021 #452 Share Posted June 28, 2021 West Coast (US) heat wave is no joke. The US Track and Field Trials were postponed until the evening because of the heat. NBC showed a measure that had the track surface at 64 Celsius (148 Fahrenheit) Here’s a clip of that measure (might be geoblocked) “Sport has the power to change the world.

Olympian1010 7,659 Posted July 10, 2021 #453 Share Posted July 10, 2021 From my understanding, if today’s temperature is confirmed, it would be the 4th (or perhaps tied for 3rd) hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth. For the record, 130 Fahrenheit is 54.4 Celsius. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

heywoodu 13,819 Posted July 16, 2021 Author #456 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Heavy rain in western Germany, eastern Belgium and southern Netherlands earlier this week. In the Netherlands the damage so far is luckily only material (floodings and such), but in Germany the death toll has gone up from 30 or so yesterday to 81 by now, with 1300 people missing (most of them hopefully just because of the mobile networks being lost and so them not being able to contact anyone), while in Belgium 12 people have died so far. Really unprecedented natural violence in these parts. Whole villages have been damaged, especially those small German towns situated in tight corners of rivers, where something like this sadly was just a matter of time If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Grassmarket 2,983 Posted October 10, 2021 #457 Share Posted October 10, 2021 OTOH, this is good news for Winter sports fans. A group of 87 ultramarathon runners were rescued on Saturday after they were left stranded by snow in a freezing Utah mountain range during the 50 mile race. The runners for the DC Peaks 50 ultramarathon had stopped as the Wasatch Mountains became hammered with 12 to 18 inches of snow, with temperatures plunging into the 20s. Rescue crews were called to the scene and searched for the missing runners for several hours using both on-foot and snow vehicle teams. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10077967/87-runners-rescued-Utah-ultramarathon-hit-18-inches-snow.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,193 Posted November 4, 2021 #458 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Lots of drama here the past few days as Zagreb has been deemed by some to be the 2nd most polluted city in the World ! Only behind Karachi, and in front of any given megalopolis from !! * It turned out to be a hoax, of course. There are 3 air quality measuring stations in Zagreb, and apparently one of them (in a suburban area with minimum traffic!) was giving faulty and incredibly unrealistic readings, what brought the city average to these levels. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,193 Posted November 4, 2021 #459 Share Posted November 4, 2021 ^ Also these pollution rankings were compiled by some Swiss company specializing in air filtering. It's a clickbait world we live in. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
