'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)

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.

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.

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.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal.
