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...

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.

My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why? Look here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyIOarNAONk

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.

For sure, Visegrad is the shame of Europe :d

Btw, in Dusseldorf is a common criminality

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!

    • Have mercy, I can't last 18 days without sleep.  
    • This might be unpopular but it would allow way more sports and quotas and cities to host at a lower cost. 
    • I think Julia Tannheimer will continue to perform so well on the flatter courses in Ruhpolding and Antholz, which will suit her technique. Oberhof will be more exciting, the courses are very demanding, but quite comparable to the World Championships in Lenzerheide. That's why I'm really looking forward to Oberhof this season. Anyone who can cope well with the courses in Oberhof should also be able to run at the front at the World Championships.
    • My IF THE OLYMPICS WERE THIS CHRISTMAS predicted medal table   17-18-12---47 15-12-7---34 13-8-8---29 11-10-7---28 9-5-7---21 8-13-3---24 7-6-9---22 6-7-6---19 6-6-9---21 6-6-5---17 5-8-6---19 3-2-4---9 2-6-4---12 2-2-4---8 2-2-3---7 1-1-3---5 1-0-3---4 1-0-3---4 1-0-3---4 0-3-0---3 0-1-0---1 0-0-2---2 0-0-2---2 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1 0-0-1---1
    • Thanks for your predictions, they are very interesting.   But here it will be a different format. Combined events - pairs of athletes, one male/female will perform in downhill and other will perform in slalom. E.g. Team SUI 1 Odermatt plus Meillard.
    • Interesting (optimistic) predictions for GB. Don‘t See Them winning 5 golds (more than China and as many as Canada). I think 3 golds are more Realistic (Brookes + 2 in curling/skeleton). Especially gold for Bankes seems To be a rather optimistic prediction, given that Casta is 11 years younger and just beat Bankes.
    • Medal Table (Change from 2022)    - 20 (+4)  - 13 (+1)  - 13 (+5)  - 9 (+7)  - 9 (=)  - 7 (+2)  - 7 (=)  - 6 (-2)  - 6 (-1)  - 5 (+1)  - 5 (+4)  - 4 (+1)  - 4 (-5)  - 3 (+2)  - 2 (=)  - 1 (=)  - 1 (+1)      -5,  -2,  -2,  -2, , -1, , -1, , -1 fail to male the list   On 1st glance 1 feel I have underestimated Canada, Sweden and Finland, and overestimated GB (obviously) and Netherlands.    If the Russians aren't competing then the Norwegians will have a field day in cross country skiing, but it is too early to tell.   World cups and championships aren't always the best measure for some sports but it's the best I can find.      As an overall trend I feel this will be a strong games for the European nations (home advantage) but the Asian nations might struggle, not necessarily at the extent I predicted here but I don't think their results will be as good as Beijing.
