Bit annoying to see:CAN breaking into :GBR‘s monopoly of pointless sports.

 

 

Madcap contestants are showing off their bizarre styles for a hair-freezing contest in Canada taking place in -20C temperatures.

 

The annual competition is held at the Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs in Yukon and is open until March 25.

 

Participants jump into the waters, formerly known as Takhini Hot Springs, where the temperature is 42C (107F), before sculpting their wet locks into inventive shapes.

Personally I think we should only allow cults with human sercrify on here, or else what's the point? In other words, @Sindo, pick up the broom and hammer :d

:SVK in Slovakia, school final leaving exams have started this week and the authorities revealed interesting informations. :d In Slovakia you have to pass the final exam in 2 forms, first a written one and then an oral one.From the 37 000 students going to pass their final leaving school exam 1600 of them decided to pass it in Hungarian language (Yes, it is allowed in Slovakia, if you want you can graduate in Hungarian, but you have to do it only in a Hungarian speaking school)

 

apart of that: Students are also required to choose one foreign language for their final exam.

 

and here are the results for this year

 

1) Most often, students chose the English language, almost 35,800 students will graduate from it at all three difficulty levels.

2) The second most picked foreing language was the German language (1,068 students)

3) and 443 students selected the Russian language lol...

4) 14 high school graduates picked French :d,

5) four students chose Spanish :d

6) and one (1) student chose the Italian language.(Imagine preparing the tests and teacher´s committee for One student) :lol:

What are the topics of this exam? I mean, we had an English exam only for English, but not for the other subjects :p 

 

Props for that one student choosing Italian :d

For the written one: you have to pick one of these

 

-In winter in the countryside (Artistic description) :p

-Safely on social networks (Interpretation)

-Does it make sense to run for school parliament? (Discussion Post)

 

For the foreign language it is a classic written test which consists of three parts and you have 100 minutes for it:

listening with understanding,

grammar and vocabulary (use of language),

reading comprehension

 

 

The classic graduation exam is then the oral one,

you will draw a question in Slovak Language & Literature (available also in Hungarian language in HUN speaking schools as mentioned above), in Maths (usually only at the lyceum), in Foreign Language and depending of your school also in the main technical stuff (for example in engineering industrial school you have mechanical engineering, in apprentice schools you have your special subject etc...) In every one you draw one from 25 final-exam questions

    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
    • Thursday December 11th, 2025 - Round-Robin Day 4 Schedule (GMT +1)   12:30   Austria vs Ukraine 16:00   Norway vs Kazakhstan 19:30   Slovenia vs France
