Ah yeah, talk about 'national sports' :d Although again, it's not national, but mostly comes from that weird northern province and it's actually called fierljeppen :p 

 

Some footage of Dutch championships, although I've got no idea what their saying half the time.

 

 

@Jinzha @CCB Any fierljeppenfans here? :d 

Oh no, I'm not from Friesland, so no fierljeppen or skutsjesilen for me. You became national champion fierljeppen @heywoodu? :-)

Nope, I'm in total agreeance with your first sentence :d I know as much about fierljeppen as the average Dutchman: they try to jump across water with a pole, as far as possible. That's pretty much it.

Luxembourg is about to have both free universities and fully legal weed. Why haven’t I moved there yet?

 

I did actually check out attending European universities by the way. I had my heart set on Germany, but none of majors offered in English at the time were mine. The same was true for Denmark and Luxembourg (I checked because their schooling is free too). Iceland didn’t either, which really made me sad because I want to immigrate there. It’s my dream to live in Iceland and it’s near impossible for an American to qualify to be a resident :(.

I went on this ride last summer with my niece and brother when we were at Universal in Florida. My niece and I were in the front row seats (same seats as Jimmy Fallon and Kevin Hart in this video). It was awesome.

    • I mean, the program of these games is always very lopsided for Venezuela. Colombia without the skating this time took a big blow but normally it also favors them.  We compete in every sport while they don't bother with anything on water for example.   We didn't even have those sports when we hosted because these northern countries don't send anyone to reach the minimum number of athletes required for competition.        
    • The weather yesterday was brilliant at the start.   Wonderful to kickstart something that's appearing internationally for the first time in over a decade.    I do think the programme can be expanded to include more events with a 200m track as well as combined events.

    • great week for the  crews!    3 wins, 5 medals, a few good placings and Tita / Banti coming back just as good as they were in the Nacra 17, ending up in 4th place only because of a technical fail on their boat (which led them to abandon a race and to a DNS in the following one, when they were comfortably leading the overall standings )   sailing is slowly becoming one of our strongest Olympic sports
