For being a arab and a muslim lady, i am generaly more intrested in sports, but i dont think many times i choose right intrests, because of al injuries i had.

I have broken my left hand scafodium bone twicce, ones i had in cast fire 22 week. I played  handbal thenl. I was 13 years old then.

Less than two years later i broke the same bone again. This time the arm was in cast25 week..

The only time I had a serious injury was from being an idiot at school. I was teasing a friend (by hiding his phone), and he bent my thumb back so hard/fast that one tore a ligament in two places, and got the ligament stuck in between two bones. I had surgery that week (right before the track season :p), and then recovery for 12 weeks (I had to learn to write with my right hand). 
 

My surgeon was really good, and actually took pictures of the injury and surgery for me. I’ve put them in the spoiler below. Don’t look if you can’t handle seeing blood, bones, muscles, open wounds, etc.

Only time I've had an injury was when I fractured a rib while drag racing.

Spent a few days in hospital.

Other time I was injured at a sport event wasn't even related to the sport.

Got hit with a rock while watching long jump and had a mild concussion. I had assumed I was hit with a shot put :roflmao:

This is a very big mistake, probably the biggest in ME since 2003. It could be an open proxy-war.

I need to read more about it before I can really comprehend what will happen. From what I read, it hasn’t been confirmed that the US was responsible (and don’t have many allies left in the region...).

Sounds like everyone is blaming everyone else in typical Middle East fashion...

Trump doesn't want a war, this will kill the 2020 elections. Probability it was a choice of the Pentagon

    • yeah, however, Zorzi is a good name for Italian sportsmen   we had the top scorer of the '90s Volleyball NT (he is from Noale, Venice...the same place of the Motorbike factory Aprilia) and we have more to come, as there are 3 brothers playing Kitesurf, 2 of them being youth European and World medallists in the last years   and there's also a TV presenter with that Family name, but that's another story

    • Ok, that's interesting. So often winter sports are village sports & so everyone with these rare patois names are family.
    • AFAIK, no they're from 2 different regions (Christian is from Trentino, Edoardo from Lombardy, Bergamo province) Zorzi is not an uncommon Family name in North-East of Italy
    • I will definitely vote on Sunday evening as well. This time for real.  Need to fill my final ranking, as i have a couple of clashes, but will be traveling on the weekend, so will finalize things when i get home.
    • I guess, it´s normal. If you look at it from the international federation view Relay quotas goes usually to powerhouses of the sport, countries where the sport is popular, followed by TV viewers etc... means money back, while a bunch of single quotas given for countries which will not even notice the athlete and almost majority of inhabitants do not even know there such sport at the Olympics may be a waste at the end   Not saying I am in favor of it obviously. But I can understand the point, me personally, I will be surprised if I will have time to catch a minute of live watching Shorttrack in Milano for example, quite sure our TV will not make it in its main channel live screen. I guarantee you that already 
    • Biden had no idea, and neither does Trump. Each for different reasons: Biden feared World War III, while Trump wants to do business with Russia. It would take someone like Reagan to put more pressure on Russia, and that would also be a strategy for years, not 1-2.
    • Maybe they should but they clearly don't based on how the document is written, D.2.2 makes it clear that the fifth relay quota (for teams w/ 8 or more starting position) has pririty over individual quotas.   The fact that there is a gender imbalance in how the quotas are allocated is weird, but it does sort of make sense because of how D2.3 is written. Quotas are handed out in rotation, and it just so happens that if you go through the process the three missing quotas are all in the women's 1500m. It's a badly written document (like every single ISU Olympic qualification document always is >.> ) but I don't think there is another interpretation of it that could be valid. You award quotas in this order, going from 1st to 32nd (or 36th) in the ranking until you hid 112: Men's 500m Women's 500m Women's 1000m Men's 1000m Men's 1500m Women's 1500m They would not have included both genders on the same rotation if the intent wasn't to allow an inbalance in gender quotas after completing D2.3.
