Well shit, another major earthquake hit basically the same area 15 minutes ago :yikes: 

 

Yes, another. Not just an aftershock, which is usually weaker, but one of basically the same strength....7.8 was the first one, 7.7 is the one of a few minutes ago. That is very, very bad.

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!

No no no no no don't go posting super moron Frank Hoogerbeets :lol: 

 

He comes up with hundreds of predictions for terrible earthquakes, based on planets X and Y being in some angle with the sun or some pseudoscience bullshit like that, and now that he finally 'hit' one, he is just basking in the dopamine rush that the likes and retweets are giving him today...

 

Several times a year he comes with some nonsense prediction for a civilization-ending super earthquake and nonsense like that.

 

As the old saying goes: even a broken clock is correct twice a day.

I didn't know he is one of that kind...I thought he was a somehow reasonable scientist...:mumble:

 

it looks I was wrong big time, so...he's just a catastrophist looking for worldwide attention...:facepalm:

It works for him though, I guess he went hard on the dopamine from his 124 thousand likes, 53 thousand retweets and 35 million views of his tweet :p

For the last few days I have seen some info (some posts) from totallympics.com almost copied/pasted in Polish sport press & websites.

 

Well, maybe I'm a lunatic, but I believe that my effort in promoting this forum among Polish journalists, coaches, official and athletes can bear fruit...

 

And among some lawyers who specialize in sports law :-)))))

Sports law?

 

Yes, exactly. And believe me, you can make a lot of money here if you know sports law. As an attorney-at-law or sth similar. Endorsement deals, doping cases, CAS, sport meetings organization, sports events transmitions in TV or internet etc., etc...

 

Which things are translated?

 

Generally speking, BLRUS in Paris or not, boycott or not, doping issues and match-fixing are the hot topics here now. Some people use this forum to prepare their texts, some of them even in the most popular Polish websites and press, and i think this is good.

 

Hopefully one day they will mention totallympics.com as their source as well...

To be fair, BLR/RUS in Paris is one of the main overall topics in sports at the moment... :p

    • There is a saying to never trust a Russian in gymnastics. Well, ex-Russian turned Bulgarian Elvira Krasnobaeva is transferring now to Armenia.   The "official" reason is for personal, family matters, but in reality it's most likely because she wasn't selected for Paris, which angered her parents. Even though she is only 16, had her breakthrough just this year and started making mistakes, when they amped up the difficulty.   Our Federation's President Iliana Raeva said today, that she received calls also from France and Azerbaijan about Elvira's mother basically auctioning her. Raeva mentioned, that Krasnobaeva was going to be a vocal point in the next Olympic cycle, but now she can hit the road and missed her chance to ever compete for Bulgaria, even if she wanted to in the future.    We are also going to make a new Group from next season. After the disappointment in Paris, 4 out of the 5 girls announced their retirement.
    • true, but was expecting India to get troubles from Australia, not from New Zealand, and specially not by being bowled out. Makes the group phase interesting though 
    • The 4th best team in the world beating the 3rd best team in the world is not a huge surprise though.
