Seven Russian athletes have appeared in Syria National team squad at Pan Arab Games and some of them have changed names and birthdays. Russian officials in federations claimed they even didn't know about it. Russian ministry of sport claimed that only two of them Milana Mugu (Mrad) (judo) and Alexandra Maximova (gymnastics) changed their citizenship officially and the information about the others on the official Games website is a mistake.

Nikita Klevchenya (Speed Skating) will compete for :wKAZ: too. 

Judging by his results, I doubt he'll ever really be visible internationally, but the name is very interesting! Son of? If so, that would explain the Kazakhstan move as well, I believe the big Klevchenya has been Kazakhstan's coach at least for a while.

Yes, he is the son and the big Klevchenya is training Golubeva and Silaeva in Kazakhstan too.

Diana Davis and Gleb Smolkin (figure skating) will compete for :GEO since the new season.

Lol, rumors was they would represent :USA. Guess that would have been too much a betrayal for Eteri’s daughter.

 

(Davis is an American citizen, Smolkin has a green card and they both live in the US. Their link to Georgia is… one of Davis’ grandparenrs is from there.

      GSOC Kioti National (I usually determine if I’m watching right before), NHL/NBA/NFL (same teams as usual), club season volleyball, BPT Challenge Nuvali, UCI Track Cycling Nations League, and winter sports galore    Wednesday (November 27) 4:30 PM: NHL - Canucks v. Penguins 7:00 PM: NBA - Warriors v. Thunder   Thursday (November 28) 8:30 AM: Club Volleyball - Vakif v. Vero Volley Milano   Friday (November 29) 12:00 or 1:00 AM: ISU Speed Skating WC Beijing - Day 1 10:00 AM: UCI Track Cycling Nations League Round 2 Apeldoorn 12:00 PM: NHL - Canucks v.

Suns (maybe not…) 9:00 PM: FIS Freestyle Skiing Big Air WC Beijing    Confused because CBC Sports says it starts a hour later than on the FIS site? Probably will watch some luge in between.    Sunday (December 1) 12:00 or 1:00 AM: ISU Speed Skating WC Beijing - Day 3 (two screens, lesser priority) 12:30 AM: FIL Luge WC Lillehammer - Men’s Singles 2:00 AM: FIS Snowboarding Big Air WC Beijing  8:00 AM: GSOC Kioti National - Women’s Final 9:30 AM: NHL - Canucks v. Red Wings (… seriously, I don’t have the energy to be watching NHL games at 9am) 12:30 PM: GSOC Kioti National - Men’s Final 5:20 PM: NFL - Bills v. 49ers   Monday (December 2) … absolutely nothing    Tuesday (December 3) 5:00 PM: NHL - Canucks v. Wild 7:00 PM: NBA - Warriors v. Nuggets (split screen, but hoping it gets delayed due to another game going to OT or ending late)   Wednesday (December 4) 2:00 AM: BPT Finals Doha - Day 1

      Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything

      Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on
