Which is always annoying, because the Australian GP (MotoGP/2/3) starts at 03:00 CET, but I'm always confused if that's summer or winter time, considering at 03:00 the clock goes back one hour, so to be safe I generally either just don't go to sleep or wake up 2 hours in advance :p

Oh I thought you meant add one hour to the time during the night (like going from 02:00 to 03:00 immediately) :p

Happy 100th Anniversary Československo :cheer:

 

Exactly 100 years ago the 28th October 1918 was officially established Czechoslovakia, peoples may not know that it was a world powerhouse at that time, in the late 1920s Czechoslovakia was economically the 10th most developed country in the world, but everything was f...ed up by the Second World War and later by the incompetence of Communist leaders.

 

Also some fun facts, in Czechoslovakia the riders used to drive in the left :d this changed during the WWII, and Czechoslovakia was one of the first countries to grant women right to vote

 

 

A huge military parade is expected in Prague today and hundreds of different celebrations actions are organized in both nowadays independent countries today 

 

Happy Birthday Czechoslovakia

I have reduced the number of the latest replies threads from 15 to 10 today because there are not many sports events going on right now. The Ice Hockey threads opened on the same day were just a coincidence :p

@hckosice I remember reading a book about the Czechoslovak President during the Second World War, and how he struggled to gain his countries freedom and his governments recognition. I don’t remember the name of the book, but it was fascinating read.

    • got a bronze medal in baseball on the final day, which means  are the only NOCs to leave without single medal in the end.    It'll be a busy year for them though, so plenty more chances at the Central American and Caribbean Games and South American Games. 
    • it's great that some top regional talent took part too. It's a nice way to open up the outdoor season, honestly.

    • Wrestling in the USA is strong thanks to its universities, but surprisingly, they are not very strong in judo. I wonder why?
    • Women's wrestling has been at the Olympics for first time in 2004, just like women`s boxing, so it used to be a men's sport on the all world, maybe without Japan. But Russia retains the culture of the former USSR, where women could always participate in almost all sports, unlike Iran under the ayatollahs, etc Sure, Russia has its various Islamic republics: Dagestan, Chechnya- but the 50 years of the USSR and its ideas and propagandas about life and sport still had a significant impact for people. However, the cradle of women's wrestling is and always has been Japan-, but judo has probably always been more popular there, so I'm sure a lot of talented girls go there, not wrestling.
    • Russia was never a super power in women's wrestling, they are just another decent team.   why ? that's simple. most of top Russian freestyle wrestlers are from Dagestan. probably 7-8 from the current team in Albania. and I assume in that region women are not encouraged to take this sport. if you remove Dagestan from Russia, their men's freestyle team will do more or less the same.   I'm not familiar with the Russian culture in general but I assume even nation-wide (and not only Dagestan) this is considered the men's sport.    of course in the World Championship those 3 teams you mentioned can go toe to toe with Russia or even do better. from this Russian team I only see Sadulaev to win the gold at worlds. (+ Sidakov if he returns and maybe Uguev depending on Japan's squad )   still the depth of Russian freestyle is unmatched. they can send their #5 guy and be still competitive for a top 6 finish, can't say the same about any other team.
    • In the women's, however, Russia took a strong beating from Ukraine, but surely there wasn't a all top-tier Russian girls here? Judo, in my opinion, is developing better and more countries are at the leading countries, than wrestling. Situation is slightly better in the world than in Europe, because we do have the USA, Japan and Iran. Unfortunately in Europe, this sport is a joke and is becoming a second table tennis, where people from other countries are naturalized and win medals for others, even though they have nothing in common with them.
    • You are rigth, i dont discuss that, Panama is "Colombia junior", and they have only one year for organize this event, a particular edition without doubt.
