That was an awesome competition by the way, Naasz destroyed S Croxall/the field but the course was really cool :d 

I liked the course, it needs to go olympic. There’s some natural tracks, I can link for examples of an “Olympic” (inexpensive) Track.

Trump will declare a national emergency. WOW!:facepalm:

 

 

I’m going to become President one day just to retroactively declare his presidency a national emergency. Then I’m going to get the U.N. to sanction his companies. This Is America :wall:

Made a little visit to the Utah Olympic Park in between races today (I’ll posts later). I’ve now been to and seen 2 bobsled tracks in operation. The Salt Lake/Park City is awesome, totally recommend coming here in the winter for world cups. I’m in love with this area :wub:

So proud  !

 

The Slovak alpine skier Henrieta Farkašova bags the Laureus World Sports Award 2018 ! The vision impaired athlete was the most decorated at the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games with four gold medals in the downhill, giant slalom, super combined and super-G(she is now 9 time paralympic champion), plus silver in slalom.

 

With her longyears guide Natalia Šubrtova, she also won this season-long Overall World Cup.

Yay a tennis player winning the men's award, so inspiring and new and creative.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

    • Out of curiosity, I listened to a few podcasts about Turkmenistan today. This country has very large deposits of natural gas. In the 1990s, a simple a ordinary people lived quite well there. In the early 21st century, Turkmenistan signed several unfavorable gas deals with China and has practically gone bankrupt since then. 1/3 of the population (about 2 million out of 6 million- mostly young people) emigrated, mainly to Turkey, India, etc. The future of this country is blacka and uncertain. I don't know what other options they have? Russia, Turkey, the EU? Of course, in terms of selling gas. Perhaps sanctions of Russia's and isolation due to the war in Ukraine would be a chance for Turkmenistan to establish economic relations with the EU, but the new president would probably have to loosen and a little liberate up his country's domestic politics.
    • A friend of mine who visited 97 countries of the world be in Turkmenistan (with Kunshamara, are the onlyones i know) and he tell me something that never see in another country: his presence was enough to make nervous to all the people, in restaurants, markets, etc, the presence of an "outsider" generate that.
