btw I would love to know how your athletes do to keep their form during the quarantine ?

 

A brief video of some our athletes after returning from abroad now quarantined in their homes, Matej Tóth, Paulína Fialková, Ivona Fialková, Alexander Slafkovský (Canoe Slalom) :bowdown:that´s what I call working on your force - I mean the thing with the toilet papers obviously :p and Jakub Grigar (canoe Slalom)

'Enjoying' the fact that it's the end of March and so it's off-season and the rest period anyway @brunamoura :p 

 

As for the Netherlands, Olympic gymnastics champion Sanne Wevers (hello @thiago_simoes) has had a 5 meter long balance beam delivered in her appartment, which was a bit of a challenge as you can see in the video in this tweet (if you can't see the video, I put a tweet with photo in the spoiler) :p  She already has a balance beam, the one of the Rio Olympic final, but in Tokyo they'll use one with a bit different layer on top and so she ordered/asked for this one :d (with an extra low part underneath it as to not hit her head on the ceiling)

 

 

 

Spoiler

 

 

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!

Could some Indian user on here explain what the police is doing and why? 

I have this video from an article about how some Indian police officers treat people who don't follow the rules about curfew.

Right.

Daily update from :POL  Today Ministry of Health announced 170 new cases bring total number to 1221, also two more deaths which means now "officialy" 16 people death for coronavirus, there are 3 more deaths but aren't officialy counted for some reason....

Apparently there's a thing going on in the ancient Aachen Cathedral about relics of one, yes, Saint Corona. This Saint Corona is supposed to be, yeah, you wouldn't believe it, the patron of surviving epidemics. Now I know there's catholic patrons for almost literally every single object, every single occupation and every single word and situation one can think of, but it's nearly impossible to find if this Saint Corona thing is actually true. It's easy to find her being patron of butchers and lumberjacks and stuff, but nothing about epidemics, even though pretty decent media (internationally) is mentioning it.

 

So, to catholics here, is there some sort of non-Wikipedia official list of who is patron of which object, thing, person, tree, situation, mountain or something where this could be verified?

Patroness of Castelfidardo and Osimo, treasure seekers, butchers, against epidemics and storms, for stability in faith, money and lottery, the diocese of Belluno-Feltre.

And no Catholic here. :p

Listening to Trump speak makes me want to drink bleach and off myself. He is the worst speaker on the planet. It kills me a communications student.

    • 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
