Weird stuff going on. Friday somewhere in the Netherlands a body was found (probably, they didn't know/say whether or not it was a body until today) and now apparently they identified it as a 43-year old Albanian male. According to Albanian media, it's the self-proclaimed president of Chameria:

No idea that existed. Another news outlet says his body was found in another place this weekend, but there police says it was a Polish man. So it's pretty sure two bodies were found (most likely unconnected to one another) and this Albanian dude is dead, but it's sort of a mystery who's who.

A 69 year old (bulgarian) woman, who is living in England, got an appointment date to see a doctor, for after 51 weeks for a brain tumor.. :facepalm: With this paradox, she returned to Bulgaria and on the next day they removed the tumor. I feel sorry for all people in England (and Western Europe) that have to endure this abysmal health system..

The worst is their health systems are better than ours...

Pretty sure you won't have to wait a year if you've got a brain tumor here.

Well in some countries you would have to if it isn’t life threatening. I think that’s what happened here, or she wasn’t a British citizen and didn’t qualify.

It wasn't life threatening i think, but still it's a brain tumor and they can't say come in a year. Until then it could very well be life threatening..

Scheduling months in advance a regular check-up is one thing, even though i don't think that is normal too.

    • Was an interesting competition...as I was watching, I was thinking that the boulders seemed a bit simple for this caliber of athletes (and also a lack of more dynamic moves).  Glad my suspicions were confirmed when Oriane and Janja stated that they wished the boulders were harder at the end.  We'll see what this looks like if this happens again!   (Biggest complaint: SF1 and SF2 was immediately followed by the Small Final, so the loser of SF2 wasn't as rested.  They could have switched genders to the other SFs first.)
    • He missed all 3 attempts at 2.27 to finish in second place. Merlos cleared 2.27 on his first attempt to equal his PB from a few weeks ago and will go for 2.29 now.     Another 2008-born athlete, Evelyn Mitropoulou, got 6.45 in the women's long jump  The U20WL is 6.46, so she was very close. She also smashed her own indoor U20NR of 6.25 today 
    • Oh how I don't like the Falun stadium and its courses 🙃
    • 17 yo Charalampos Alivizatos in the men's high jump with 2.25 at  National Championships  His previous PB was 2.19, he equaled that today, then cleared 2.21 on his first attempt,  2.23 on his third, and 2.25 on his first!   He is trying now for 2.27 and missed his first attempt. He is currently in second place as Merlos also cleared 2.25 but with less attempts.   He is improving rapidly. His PB after 2023 was 1.90, then 2.07 after 2024 and 2.15 after 2025
