Good taste in the social media world? 😂 You old dog you. 

I meant "good taste" in terms of men by Jutta herself. :p

 

I gave up on any social media positive opinion already a long, long time ago...;) :facepalm:

Yeah, social media is a thing that has plenty of good stuff to offer, but you do need to be picky in choosing what to follow and what not :p

 

For major and quick-moving news events, for example, it's often the number one way of gaining information rapidly instead of waiting for the news on TV three hours later.

Our NOC (urban as it is) ranked the different federations according the popularity and followers of their FB and IG accounts.

 

and to No surprise to anyone, Ice Hockey ate everyone else alive. :p

 

Ice Hockey won both categories by large margin ahead of Football and surprisingly Volleyball :yikes:

In the other side of the ranking, we can find funny amount of 17 followers of Modern Pentathlon federation :roflmao: behind Speed Skating and Fencing federatuions

 

 

Here the different Olympic sports FB and IG accounts followers amounts (9 federations have no Instagram account at all)

“So what you are saying, Professor <puffs pipe> is that, ultimately, we are all French?”

 

:drama:
 

Humans are the ultimate apex predators on planet Earth. No matter how large-sized, sharp-toothed, razor-clawed, pointy-horned or venomous a creature may be, humans have hunted it for food. Moreover, according to a study led by the University of the Witwatersrand, they have also done so no matter how slow, small and slimy.

 

Giant African land snails (Achatinidae) were systematically brought to the Border Cave site in eastern South Africa, roasted and consumed, starting from 170,000 years ago, in a practice that continued for 100,000 years.

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
    • You can do the  same thing with trump:   Trum , Trumpet ,Trumeau ,Trauma ....
