I don't think he's a bad guy, but he has some weird stands. Few years ago he didn't want to take a surgery, because he said he doesn't believe in them. Eventually he did it, and it was obviously a good move looking at the results he made after it.

Okay, being an anti-vax person is one thing, but not believing in surgery :yikes: I don’t even get that at all. I hate to say it (because he is a good guy), but he cancelled :redcard:

Well, he has that "all-natural" attitude, or whatever it is called. I remember reading an interview where he talked about believing that his body can heal naturally.

Yeah we have a lot of people like that in California (more North than South). I have respect for people who believe in natural healing/medicine, but people should vaccinate their kids (since there are no side effects) and listen to doctors.

Djokovic is one of these gluten free diet maniacs too. Same BS as Tom Brady's avocado ice cream stuff.

 

The anti-vaccination morons made hay from the false autism links in the 90s and there's no way to get rid of that. Even lobotomy was flunked faster than this but of course the social platforms to spread lies are much bigger now than they were in the 50s.

At least convincing others to go on a gluten free diet has a bit less effect on your and my health than anti-vaccination bullshit..

Seriously, I’m not worried about vegans living their life, but I am worried about anti-vaxers putting our people’s lives in danger.

    • In my opinion we can lose to Argentina, if it's 0-1 in a moment. This Davis Cup format is a lottery, especially with the shortened doubles. It's no coincidence that all the favorites can/will can be eliminated in the quarter-finals. The second thing is that Argentina has a very solid team: 2 players in the top 30 + a strong doubles. To be a sure thing with them, you would have to have 2 Sinners in great shape.
    • Both Edin and Retornaz at 6-3 just like rank 2 and 3. Just very small margins on h2h and DSC
    • Godun has been training in Italy and Hungary for over 2 years. It's strange that she didn't take a Hungarian passport. Our predecures are so long that it probably wouldn't make sense.
    • Our worst European Men's Championship in this cycle: no promotion to the 1/2. Retronaz has been in poor form since the beginning of the season. The change of the head coach in the Italian team last spring may have had an impact. Unfortunately, the closer to the games, the worse it gets for us and it should be better because we are the organizers.
    • Sport climbing qualification system: https://images.ifsc-climbing.org/ifsc/image/private/t_q_good/prd/a0ga7v4gwmamb3gxouni.pdf
    • Daniel Huber picked up a kee injury during training at Lillehammer.   Piotr Żyła will skip the season opener because of a knee injury too.
    • Agree with you on this. The only missed category was Long Track Speed Skating where Cornelius Kersten and Ellia Smeding have done a good job getting us involved in this event again after many years absence. He won a Bronze medal at 2023 worlds but both are realistically fringe contenders and main goal is to grow the sport here.   As for our general chances by British standards we tend to do well at the various world championships before a Winter Olympics to raise hopes and then several dont quite deliver when its time. Would prefer the reverse to happen where we save our best for 2026 and help boost our Winter sports growth.
    • British Sports Journalist Awards.   Man of the Year goes to Alex Yee, Woman of the Year to Keely Hodgkinson.   Alex Yee and Keely Hodgkinson among SJA British Sports Awards 2024 winners - Sports Journalists' Association
    • Alistair Brownlee, double Olympic Triathlon gold medallist.   https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/c4g7y7ly266o
    • I suppose Lithuania qualified for women's world championships for the first time. Skip Virginija Paulauskaitė will debut at the age of 53 after she won silver medal in senior world championships. Incredible example of sport longevity
