Weird stuff going on. Friday somewhere in the Netherlands a body was found (probably, they didn't know/say whether or not it was a body until today) and now apparently they identified it as a 43-year old Albanian male. According to Albanian media, it's the self-proclaimed president of Chameria:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chameria

 

No idea that existed. Another news outlet says his body was found in another place this weekend, but there police says it was a Polish man. So it's pretty sure two bodies were found (most likely unconnected to one another) and this Albanian dude is dead, but it's sort of a mystery who's who.

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!

A 69 year old (bulgarian) woman, who is living in England, got an appointment date to see a doctor, for after 51 weeks for a brain tumor.. :facepalm: With this paradox, she returned to Bulgaria and on the next day they removed the tumor. I feel sorry for all people in England (and Western Europe) that have to endure this abysmal health system..

The worst is their health systems are better than ours...

Pretty sure you won't have to wait a year if you've got a brain tumor here.

Well in some countries you would have to if it isn’t life threatening. I think that’s what happened here, or she wasn’t a British citizen and didn’t qualify.

It wasn't life threatening i think, but still it's a brain tumor and they can't say come in a year. Until then it could very well be life threatening..

Scheduling months in advance a regular check-up is one thing, even though i don't think that is normal too.

    • Dove into my results archive again...   I thought it might be fun to look at a single event from the same multi-sports games over time, so here's some comparative rankings from the Pan American Games (2007-2023).   Men's Shot Put (Winners) - Athletics 2019 Pan American Games: Darlan Romani  - 22.07m 2015 Pan American Games: O'Dayne Richards  - 21.69m 2023 Pan American Games: Darlan Romani  - 21.36m 2011 Pan American Games: Dylan Armstrong  - 21.30m 2007 Pan American Games: Dylan Armstrong  - 20.10m   Women's K1 500m (Winners) - Canoe Sprint 2023 Pan American Games: Michelle Russell  - 1:51.25 2019 Pan American Games: Beatriz Briones  - 1:52.552 2011 Pan American Games: Carrie Ann Johnson  - 1:54.243 2015 Pan American Games: Yusmari Mengana  - 2:00.656 2007 Pan American Games: Jill D'Alessio  - 2:01.977   Men's Sprint Qualification (1st Ranked Riders) - Track Cycling 2023 Pan American Games: Nicolas Paul  - 9.574 (75.203 km/h) 2019 Pan American Games: Nicolas Paul  - 9.808 (73.409 km/h) 2011 Pan American Games: Njisane Phillip  - 9.977 (72.165 km/h) 2015 Pan American Games: Hugo Barrette  - 9.978 (72.158 km/h) 2007 Pan American Games: Julio Cesar Herrera  - 10.772 (66.839 km/h)   Women's Jump (Winners) - Water Ski 2023 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 52.2 2011 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 50.60 2015 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 49.1 2007 Pan American Games: Regina Jaquess  - 43.70 Note: The 2019 Pan American Games were scored differently, thus not included on the ranking. Regina Jaquess  was the winner.     I didn't chose the above events for any particular reason, just thought I'd be interesting to look at the results. If there are any other events users would like to me to do this with, just tag me below. 
    • Canoe Polo World Championships are coming to the end.
