Maria Sharapova has announced her retirement

 

She is a great player, feel sad her career ended up as this way. Personally I would forgive her for the drama doping case.

The series of Rafael Nadal’s rituals

 

- Nadal takes a freezing cold shower, 45 minutes before the match.
- He wears both socks at the same height.
- He carries one racket onto the court, and five rackets in his bag.
- Takes off the jacket while jumping, facing the audience.
- He always places his bottles in the same exact position.
- Jumps at the net during the coin toss.
- Runs to the baseline for warmups
- He places his hair behind his ear and fiddles with his shorts or underwear before each serve.
- Crosses the sidelines with his right foot only and avoid stepping on it.
- Nadal uses a towel after every single point.
- He ensures his opponent crosses the net before he does during a changeover.
- He sips his energy drink and then his water, always in the same order.

    • It's waaaay too expensive & inconvenient. Basically WOG minus the bobsleigh track & indoor arena for figure skating/hockey(which is the easy part of Olympic bid). Just won't happen anytime soon. Winter sports are too facility dependant and the entire alpine skiing requires a separate venue.
    • The ISU is looking into a combined World Championships for its 4 disciplines.   The FIS tried this and it appears the progress there has stalled.
    • had a penalty saved in the first half vs   
    • It means that our pair will miss Olympics for sure. But I am happy for your pair. They won it fair and they deserve it. It always sad to see when your own sports bodies destroys dreams.

    • Also a first: never before has a Dutch pair participated in the games, according to media rapports.
    • The Technical director of the Dutch Olympic Committee has, using his discretionary powers, decided to include them in the team. He cites “extra-ordinary circumstances”, but has not stated what they are. The use of these powers is quite rare. They were used in 2022 to nominate an alpine-skier.
