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.

Yep, the one car in all of Papua New Guinea drives on the left :p

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:

    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
