well I guess it makes sense for US people to learn Spanish, especially if you live in the South

I’m going to be clear about this one, never refer to my beloved California as the South. Broader state is what call ourselves. The South means something else in the US.

California is called a 'broader state' because of all the fatsos or what?

It’s called that because my stupid, fat, fucking hands can’t type on this tiny ass keyboard.

It’s worth noting that one of my thumbs is super messed up. Essentially my “friend” bent my thumb back so far in the wrong direction that he tore both sides of the ligament in my thumb. Luckily, We have a very good surgeon in town, and he did a wonderful job on the surgery. However, I never recovered to normal usage of that thumb because I didn’t do enough to help it heal properly. It functions at near 100%, but it’s still pretty delicate. I also now enjoy thumb arthritis at only 18, so I’m looking forward to many more years of that. So sometimes when I make mistakes it’s because the thumb isn’t always working the way I need it to, but hey 19 days of daily blogs should a great thumb workout routine :d

When the Dutch aren't there I tend to cheer for Italy, France and, when they're competing, Senegal. They are all countries I have great memories in from vacations and internships abroad. I have fond memories of the people I met and the experiences I have had there.

    • Italy will boycott the Azeri stage for protest against the international federation.
    • Likely for Tannheimer, quite unlikely for Galmace Paulin. She's far from being assured to even start in the WC before turning 20. Basically she'd have to get a spot this season, which could actually happen if she takes the extra-ticket at the JWCH. Anyway I don't see her making her way to gold in Oslo. Tänglander has a few seasons to do it, we'll see.       Quite surprisingly so, indeed. Barring her horrendous finish Richard would have made it 2 in one go. We should have some more names in the list in 2025.
    • There are some of Slovakia's finest young squads at the World Juniors in recent years
    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
