I think it's all over the world that firefighters have the biggest respect out of all those services.

 

I work at school (the one I graduated from) as a secretary - it's an afternoon part-time job and I'm barely doing things for the school itself, rather for the foundation that is governing it. We are organizing a contest for our region from Polish&Literature and Maths and that's a lot of job to do, including requests for financial support from local authorities, mail, selling the book with the examples of tasks and solutions... besides we rent out our gym in the afternoon and we are closed from inside so I let those people in, I need to take payments from them, the same for people who are sending their children out of our school to our afternoon classes... But usually I have enough time to watch Eurosport Player (like ski jumping today), at least with the "picture-in-picture" mode.

“Picture-in-picture” got my through lecture classes in high school. Nothing like watching cross country skiing while learning about how members of the state senate are chosen (which should be common knowledge really) :p

I was studying before the era of PIP so... we watched the FIS World Champs in Lahti during our classes from Finnish. Yes, that was my idea, but our teacher was also a fan of ski jumping.

I’ve always wondered what jobs people have on here. Anyone care to share?

No job at the moment. I'm hopefully going to finish my BSc in Political Science in June. The plan afterwards is to study a 1-year Master's programme at the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia. I have applied for a Master's in Police Analysis and Public Administration and a Master's in Political Theory. Hopefully I will be accepted into one of them.

That reminds me, I need to apply for study abroad in London this fall. Political Science was another route I looked into, but no one was able to convince me to join. I enjoy politics (I know, shocking), but I just couldn’t see myself doing something I love in political science, as where I could in communications (emphasis in Public Relations, Social Media, and Journalism). From what I’ve seen Ljubljana looks pretty nice, I hope you get accepted.

Thanks :) By studying abroad, I hope my chance of working in a European or International organisation increases. The dream at the moment is to work at an embassy in a Balkan country.

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
