Another attack... this time in Turku, Finland.


I wonder when Europe will decide enough is enough of this and actually implement steps to preventing it.

The leaders of the EU have no time for it. They're working on the punishment of the V4 because we refused the migrant quota...

Apparently Finnish police doesn't consider the incident in Turku as a terrorist act so far.

Also rather hard is that killings, including stabbings, happen quite often. In these days though, every single smaller 'thing' becomes big news whereas a few years ago nobody would have given two fucks about someone in Finland or the Netherlands or Germany being stabbed in a random place.

That's true (  few years ago in Poland some crazy idiot tried to run over people in Sopot and I don't remember any major outlets actually reporting that) however I think the reason why people talk about the incident in Finland is because of the terrorist acts in Spain.

Exactly. It's sort of what you see on a 'terror night' like in London a while back: every fart is suddenly being brought onto Twitter and everything as 'explosion reported'. Now that might be true if someone had a particularly bad dinner, but most of the times the extra reports in such a night are nothing out of what you might ordinarily see in any given night. 

 

With which I don't mean to say there's no problem, obviously, there definitely is and it's not getting any better at all.

Do you mean EU? Yes, we are scapegoats!

But your politicians also fed up by the migrants. And Austria is fed up with your policy. Hypocrites are everywhere!

    • Italian governmanet issued a statement:   The Vice President of the Council of Ministers and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Antonio Tajani, and the Minister for Sport and Youth, Andrea Abodi have issued this joint note:   The Italian Government expresses its absolute opposition to the decision of the Internazionale Paralympic Committee to admit to participating in the Milan Cortina 2026 Paralympics for Russian athletes and four Belarusian athletes with the display of their national emblems, inno compreso.   The Italian government reiterates the dissent already expressed, together with other 33 nations and the European Commission, on the decision of full reinstatement of the Russian and Belarusian Paralympic Committees assumed by the General Assembly of the International Paralympic Committee last September 27, and renews its own full solidarity and its own unconditional support for Ukraine. Ask, inoltre, al Comitato Paralimpico Internazionale to reconsider this decision. The persistent violation of the truce and Olympic and Paralympic ideals by Russia, supported by Belarus, is incompatible with the participation of athletes in the Games, if they do not come as individual neutral athletes.   https://www.esteri.it/en/sala_stampa/archivionotizie/comunicati/2026/02/tajani-abodi-governo-contrario-decisione-comitato-paralimpico-internazionale-sulla-russia/
    • The Canadian who went down with Sighal also didn't advance. There was no advantage for Canada. The only decision was if Sighal would advance, and the official said no. No one advanced. Even if you think it was an unfair ruling, it didn't benefit Canada in any way.    Meanwhile, several Canadians have been penalized throughout the competition, just like every other country. One even got a yellow card. Dandjinou was on his way to a medal, but was bumped in the final and lost. Our women today were bumped by the Koreans and nothing was done. These things happen in short track. At no time did any decision benefit a Canadian, whether you agree with it or not. 
    • I think I'll go with 8 this time. Brazil did very well in all sports, except for the girl in Alpine Skiing who, from what I've read, is a DNF magnet. Even so, it's our first participation in Women's Alpine Skiing in years.   As for the organization, honestly, some things have disappointed me, the way they're handling unforeseen events...
    • The Italian federation has issued an official stance – I hope they finally take a closer look at this Hungarian clown. I just hope it's not like someone wrote here, where the former Canadian skater makes the decisions and that Hungarian just announces them.   https://www.fisg.it/short-track-milano-cortina-2026-presidente-gios-grande-delusione-e-amarezza-per-il-trattamento-del-giudice-nei-confronti-di-pietro-sighel/
    • We lost the gold to Korea, but if we were going to lose to anyone, it was them- the country that is the cradle of this sport, not the Netherlands, which only seriously entered the sport eight to last 8-10 years ago and created serial dominators, like in speed skating, track cycyling, etc. I simply can't like their model, where they create athletes for serial victories in 2/3 selected disciplines. 
    • https://worldcurling.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/2023-The-Rules-of-Curling.pdf p. 45 I think has what you're looking for.
    • By the way, those shot % by position are really interesting.  USA's only standout is their lead, at #1 at the moment, while skip, #2 and vice are 7th, 8th, and 9th respectively among their position peers.   seems USA would hardly have any wins at all without that lead performing so spectacularly.  Maybe that lead should be skip next time.  well, maybe not, I guess it depends on whether his weighted shots are as good as his draw shots.
