Like who's going to believe in European Parliament having any integrity as they're embroiled in a massive corrpution scandal right now? Or is Eva Kaili & friends swept under the carpet already?

So now that´s a pretty disturbing picture. Thomas Bach shows Petra Vlhová where to sign

 

 

No, joking obviously, our Olympic champion visited today the IOC to donate her skis and helmet from Beijing to the Olympic museum

Ya this gives me less than any confidence in the IOC’s understanding of esports. That games lineup is… yikes.

On the plus side, it's good to see they didn't include shooters like Call of Duty, Counter-Strike or Fortnite.

Online chess is legitimately the most popular esports on that list xD

As part of the celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the Slovak NOC, The Slovak Olympic museum opened a special exposition of our Olympic medals won since the independence, almost all our Olympic medalists lent their medals (Only the medal of wrestler David Musulbes who is living in Russia would be now a bit difficult to be obtained and the Silver of Golfer Rory Sabbatini still not arrived at time of the grand opening yet but Rory send it and will be exposed as well)

 

So if you plan to visit Slovensko do not hesitate to visit the Slovak Olympic Museum, this Slovak medals exposition will last to the 21st May.

Including Counter Strike would give this event a whole lot more legitimacy.
