It'd be interesting to see some numbers to back that up. Out of curiousity by the way, not out of 'I don't believe you'.

Well off the top of my head; since I have class in hour, so I can’t give you concrete numbers until tomorrow; we gained 25 Twitter followers in the last week and a half (most are non-Totallympics members, mostly people who follow @Dragon), I’ve seen increased interest on here, and I do have people in my other social circles telling me they read the articles.

 

I’m going to take a look at the analytics tomorrow, so I can give you a better idea. Even if our growth is small, I do feel like the international sports community is taking a bit more interest in our organization.

I am a proud sinister.... not just as a driver, but as a left-handed writer too.  :p

I'm surprised Hungarians don't use the left side, because they have everything the other way - they turn on the light with klicking the switcher up (although in Poland it also happens), they have surname before first name, their date format is yyyy/mm/dd (still better than the abnormal US mm/dd/yyyy)... even the ancient writing - "rovásírás" - is read from right to left.

To be fair, I think still using imperial measurements (and whatever Myanmar is using) is a bigger issue. :p

I hate when my fellow Americans throw their dumb inches, ounces, quarts at me :spank:

No, that is the one thing we’ve done right. You sir, are no friend of mine :mad:

    • really sad when you win a olympic medal 3 years later and no one cares Of course it will be registered and so on, but all those moments of joy etc are gone. Yes its first Croatian wrestling medal since independence, but there was a medal won for Yugoslavia by Croatian.

    • Surely they will unless I am missing something. 
    • So, will they appeal to CAS like in Sinner case?
    • https://www.skysports.com/tennis/news/12110/13262332/iga-swiatek-five-time-grand-slam-champion-accepts-one-month-suspension-in-doping-case Cwnt see WADA not overturning this. One month for a banned substance is very low even for accidental consumption. I’ve only ever heard that short for something banned only in Competition and therefore not seen as fully doping. . 
    • big big news regarding Olympic bronze medalist and two time World Champion  Zurabi Datunashvili   https://ita.sport/news/the-ita-acknowledges-cas-add-decision-sanctioning-wrestler-zurabi-datunashvili-for-anti-doping-rule-violations/   to be honest everything was suspicious about this guy, his sudden improvement since 2021, his body, his sudden retirement in 2023 . its great to see him finally getting caught.   they will reallocate the medals later after the end of the process but his Olympic bronze will go to  Ivan Huklek, I think that will be the first ever wrestling medal for Croatia   his 2021 World title will go  Maskevich and the 2022 gold goes to  Bisultanov Bisultanov will benefit more than anybody else, he also gets a bronze from 2021 and  Kessidis will get a bronze from 2022.
