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

    • 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.
    • 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.
