And you can even play along with an app :d 

This is the greatest thing I’ve ever heard for a quiz show. They should all have apps. If HQ Trivia proved anything it’s people would love something like that.

Speaking of quizzes, sport scientist Ross Tucker (some of you might now him from The Real Science of Sport Podcast) did a sports quiz on youtube last Friday. He says he will probably do another one again soon.

I don't really buy it. I just read the full CNN article, no substantial source at all, mostly by imagination and typical fake news. The only seemingly reliable source in it is from South Korean media Daily NK, he conducted surgery in 12th April and back to Pyongyang in 19th April, but not mentioning grave danger.

Yeah, I see CNN has already been called out in the US too. I shared it mostly because I wanted to see people’s reactions :p

 

We’d know if Un was really in trouble. He’d disappear for a few days, and the South Koreans would break the news; not the US.

Yes. I would rather believe the news from South Korea and I think they must have some kinda secret connection and information sharing system.

Like during the coronavirus situation when he was invisible for weeks?

 

If there's one situation where "we'd know" does not apply, t's about Kim Jong-un's health :p

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • 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.
