Some great old photos here, equally interesting for fans of the Olympics & tram driving.  I hadn’t heard the phrase  “catch as catch can” wrestling for decades, but according to Wikipedia it is the Olympic ancestor of modern Pro Wrestling.  In Britain up until about the 30s, it was a genuine old-school sport, not showbiz.

:SVK NOC will tomorrow celebrate 30 years of its existence :cheer: 

 

The 19th December 1992, exactly 13 days before the dissolution of Czechoslovakia and the establishment of the independent Slovak Republic.

 

Small opportunity to look at the short but interesting history of my country´s Olympic journey
