But yeah, anything is safer than Goggia I would find it awesome by the way, Ghiotto is a fantastic fighter. A dream would be to have Ghiotto vs Roest in the last pair, that would be fireworks phelps 1 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!

rafalgorka 1,386 Posted December 26, 2023 #15 Share Posted December 26, 2023 (edited) A small question to the speed skating fans (US fans maybe): Conor McDermott-Mostowy - he may have some Polish family? Mostowy may be a Polish surname. Andrzej Gut-Mostowy is a Polish politician from Zakopane, he opted for the winter olympics here if i remember correctly. He's doing (or he used to do, I don't know, whatever) bussinesses in hotel, tourism and skiing facilities sector obviously.

heywoodu 13,562 Posted January 5 #16 Share Posted January 5 13:17.53 for Jordan Stolz in the US championships just now. Which, for those who aren't really into speed skating and times and such, is absolutely and utterly bizarre given the fact he is also able to skate a very low 34 second 500m. That range is astonishing beyond words.
