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

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.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
