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.

    • Some notable  retirements:   Elisavet Pesiridou (athletics - 100m hurdles) - She announced her retirement on her 34th birthday. She competed in Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020. She narrowly missed Paris 2024 despite being in good form, the rest of he field seemed to get stronger and her ranking was a bit lower even though she was quite consistent. She struggled with injuries in 2025.   Fani Tzeli (taekwondo) - She was 7th in Tokyo 2020 but didn't qualify for Paris 2024. Still, she is only 24 yo and seemed to be rising up again after winning bronze at the European Championships so it is a bit surprising.   Aikaterini Divari (sailing) - She competed in Tokyo 2020 but didn't qualify for Paris 2024. Only 25 yo.   AJ Ginnis (alpine skiing) - Despite winning a silver at the World Championships he never got to compete at the Winter Olympics as he was always unfortunately injured. A shame as he is by far our best winter athlete ever. Only 31 yo, and I have a feeling he might come back in 2030 based on his last interview...

    • Well.  Having gotten it a bit at a distance a few comments about my experiences   Travel: Very happy. Flying to and from was a breeze (the plane home slighty delayed). The same can be said about getting around in Milano. Getting around outside was of course slightly harder, especially with some delays back from Antholx (but i guess that's not a big surprise when a lot of people leave a place in the mountains)   Atmosphere: Very happy around the venues, but it's also very clear that it's smaller than the Summer games. People weren't following the events wherever you went. Alcohol certainly made a difference between Paris and now. Sadly did experience a few who should certainly have stopped a couple of beers earlier.    The logistics at the venues:  Very easy to see that Santagiulia is new and absolutely not a perfect venue. Seems like some kinks were fixed when I got there, but there's still stuff to work out. The food at the Milano venues were meh and there were quite some lines. Tesero was a chaos when it came to getting food, but the quality was slightly better at the skiing venues.
