Jokes aside, I’m largely in the minority that can locate more than 5 countries on a world map, or even name more than 10-15 (and know the difference between states and countries, and not call Africa a country) “Sport has the power to change the world.

We do: żółć (that yellow liquid from liver). That is bile in English. Bile or bilious also means bad-tempered.

Monzanator 3,600 Posted November 30, 2019 #55 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Speaking of "żółć" the other classic break you tongue Polish word is "źdźbło" (culm in English) Man, this biathlon season can't start fast enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, Egan has a higher upside than Dunklee. I agree with you. Give her some more time. Olympian1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No if they retain that, I have no idea. But for just a moment in their lives, they should know the difference between Slovenia and Slovakia. hckošice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it's not controversial. At all. Egan is 32 years old, which is why I doubt she'll prove to be significantly better than Dunklee. There's not a lot of time to improve. 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!

There's not a lot of time to improve. From what I understand both Dunklee and Egan are done after the next Olympics. I am glad that the US finally has three decent to good female biathletes. You have to go back a long time before you find this again. Too bad the relay is 4 women . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobtheAggie 340 Posted November 30, 2019 #60 Share Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) @dcro What are your expectations for the relay today? I really do not know much at all about Croatian Biathlon. Can they beat Slovakia or Romania? Edited November 30, 2019 by RobtheAggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
