So what exactly is your point and what does it have to do with my previous comment?


I find it interesting that

a) You admire Schröder for giving up politics to earn a shitload of money (although Merkel killed his political career before that)

b) You admire Merkel

c) You think that Merkel is actually trying to „fix“ Europe

None of this has anything to do with athletics, so maybe we should wrap this up.

 

I actually don't admire Merkel at all. Her politics would have made me vote for SPD if I was a German even though I never vote for left-wing parties, she's that bad :p

Holy crap.

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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

In the 400 meter competition in Bern two of our youngest athletes posted personal bests: Femke Bol 51,13 and Lieke Klaver 51,39. With Lisanne de Witte (PB 50,85) we now have three very promising 400 meter-runners. Such a pity the best one, Madiea Ghafoor, is in jail for drugs sale. Otherwise we would have a really competitive 4x400 relay team.

Looks like a very good meet coming up on Saturday from Trieste.  Lots of big names in action, some for the first time this year.  International events start 17:30 Euro 16:30 UK

This Saturday/Sunday, the Baltic U18 and U20 championships are going to take place in Estonia, the best Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian athletes born from 2001 to 2004 are going to fight against each other and themselves to make their PBs and show who will be more than capable to qualify in the European Championships U18, U20, U23 in 2021.

 

Usually most of these Baltic events are scheduled after the big event of the year for that age group, this year though, it's the most important start for some of the athletes, perhaps barring the Lithuanian Championships that are held next weekend.

    • Selecting the best health insurance plans involves several key considerations. First, evaluate your medical needs, including any pre-existing conditions or specific healthcare requirements. Look for plans that offer comprehensive coverage, including hospitalization, critical illness, and preventive care. Compare premiums, deductibles, and co-payments to balance affordability and coverage. It's also important to check the insurer’s claim settlement ratio and the network of cashless hospitals. Consider waiting periods for pre-existing conditions and any exclusions in the policy. Additionally, look for extra benefits like wellness programs or annual health check-ups to maximize value from your health insurance plan.
    • Rather negative     Both towards Vollering and towards the coach, who has been making a mess of this for years now (like Tokyo). Vollering literally said "it was not good for me that Markus and Vos were still in the front towards the end"     One of the most well-known journalists (albeit a bit of a drama queen, but in this case, he's right): "Absurdly bad race by Vollering. Unbelievable."   An entire analysis titled "Vollering only thought of herself and threw away and almost certain Dutch medal": https://www.wielerflits.nl/nieuws/demi-vollering-dacht-alleen-aan-zichzelf-en-verspeelt-vrijwel-zekere-wk-medaille-voor-nederland/   Vollering: "They were all riding just to make me lose"   https://www.gelderlander.nl/video/productie/vollering-mij-laten-verliezen-wk-zurich-772648?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F   The 100th time Vollering shows she should simply not be in a team like this. It is always trouble, every single time. We need a team with like 6 Marianne Vos clones, she has the experience, she can read a race like absolutely nobody else in the world can and she plays her role, whether that's the team captain or working for someone else, without complaining and to the fullest extent.   Vollering is the exact opposite of Vos. Vollering rides for Team Vollering, which consists of Demi Vollering. No matter what.
    • What did Dutch press make out of it? It was one of the worst "teamworks" I have ever seen in cycling.
    • There is a ton of evidence, even if you don't believe the Bible is real,  that israel is our ancestral land.  And we simply took what's ours.  And in fact there was never anyone named Palestinians there.   Simply a name given to the region by the Roman's.  But the actual people is just a collective of individuals from different Arab countries where they were kicked out from.  And we are expected to cater to them.   There are plenty of other countries that should take them.   Iran, qatar, Iraq, Kuwait, Yemen, Algeria,  libiya, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco to name a few.   
    • Completely lost track of when the other final, but I just finished watching the pre-recorded version of it.   Team “Magic Mike” McEwen defeated Team Gushue 8-3 to win his third title (and in a row) of the season. 
    • Massive win indeed, a 80+ kilometer solo in the world championships, damn  (I mean, Sivakov jumped with him to try and help him of course, but couldn't do anything but sit in his wheel until he got dropped )
    • If even Erdogan calls you a psychopath, you're probably been....bad.    
    • Meanwhile:         https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maher_al-Assad
    • Sure, some things are simply historical events retold with a kind of fantasy layer over it, to make it more appealing to read and/or - most importantly - to put some lessons into it, which is fine (and which is the main way to read most religious texts, as 'lessons' and messages by the writers instead of actual historical facts). But let's not pretend that things like Moses splitting the sea or the entire exodus have a significant historical basis, based on actual evidence. Anyway, like I said: I'm well aware people who believe the religious book of their choosing is a historical book aren't going to ever believe otherwise, I grew up in a town full of similiarly minded people
