Wut? French blue was always darker than EU blue. No wonder nobody noticed.

I was also surprised to see it in our evening TV news. I never noticed that, and I quite follow French stuff a lot because I lived there a couple of years. :lol:

 

Apparently last year Macron suddenly decided to swip the blue to a even more darker "Navy" blue, so now it looks almost like black, even though almost no one in the world has noticed lol, even Totallympics has now the non-existing blue in :FRA:lol:

So apparently this flag ain't new but just goes back to the traditional version. Again, people just don't notice that because everyone probably realizes it's dark blue (and different to Russian blue or Swedish blue).

I like the easily understood wording of the PM.

 

I don't always agree with him, but in this case he is absolutely right. Call them for what they are instead of pretending they're worth some nicer term.

Very tragic night here. :( First there was a fire at a retirement home that killed 9 people. Now, when i woke up, found out there was a Macedonian bus accident, in the middle of the night, with 52 people, 45 of which died, many children of them. :( :(

 

They were 4 buses returning to Macedonia from vacation to Istanbul, when one of them hits the railing, flips over and bursts into flames. Only 7 people manage to escape. Our police/medics said they haven't seen such horrific scenes, when arriving. Macedonian PM and other diplomats are already here as well.

Horrible indeed :cry: 

 

Also yet another reason why I've got so much respect for first responders of any kind, imagine being a firefighter, police officer, medic or whatever and walking into a horror scene like this...how they are able to put it aside for a second and actually help, I don't know.

Meanwhile in Wisconsin a registered sex offender who was released on 1,000 USD bail for running over the mother of his child run over a Christmas parade and killed five people. Oh yeah, the guy is black and all the deceased are white hence why the BLM movement stays silent on the matter. I wonder if this guy will use the race card to escape getting jailed for life?

    • First,  … Oriol Cardona Coll is the favourite in men’s ski mountaineering, with the mixed relay also favoured, and there’s fringe chances for Queralt Castellet in women’s snowboard halfpipe, Lucas Eguibar in men’s snowboard cross, and Ana Alonso in women’s ski mountaineering (she got into a car crash a few months ago, wasn’t serious thankfully but not in great form) depending on the day…    For  Bulgaria one of Zamfirov or Krashniak in men’s parallel giant slalom is what I’m thinking, but maybe Yankov can medal too (although his season has been pedestrian), Zamfirova in women’s parallel slalom also has a decent chance   For  Belgium, I think Kim Meylemans in women’s skeleton, the Crystal Globe winner, and potentially one of the Desmet siblings in short track…   For  Georgia, obviously Metelkina/Berulava in pairs figure skating   For  Latvia it’s all about luge. Bots/Plume and Upite/Kaluma in men’s/women’s doubles, Aparjods in men’s singles, and the team relay. Kruzbergs might also have a chance in short track but don’t see it.    For  Poland, in short track Maliszewska in the women’s 500m, and the women’s and mixed relays have chances, Krol-Walas in women’s parallel slalom, Zurek in the men’s 500m and 1000m. Easiest pick of them all.    For  their biggest chance is mixed team aerials IMO due to the lack of teams competing, Kotovskyi in men’s aerials and Brykina are other chances.    I actually don’t have  Brazil reaching the podium, Rocha Silveira hasn’t had the best results on the WC circuit, Burgener’s scores this season won’t be enough for a podium, and most of their hopes rest on Braathen IMO   Same with  Estonia, Kaldvee/Lill are a strong team but I have four teams slightly above them. 
    • fis basically only cares about alpine skiing (and despite that, they always find the way to make disasters also on it) if it wasn't for the North American tv money, I guess they would even get rid of those "freestyle" events, leaving them to the X Games organization
    • Last Olympics Canada only rejected a quota after they got to 8 female. Hard to say but they will probably take them.
    • A bit shocking to see Brazil with the most votes so far! They do have 3 good medal chances though (Pinheiro Braathen, Rocha Silveira, Burgener) so it's well deserved.   I also originally included  New Zealand on the poll but I must have deleted them by accident although they probably also would have gotten the same amount of votes as Brazil so it wouldn't have made much of a difference.    
    • Korea accepted a halfpipe quota so there will be a total of 22/25 competitors entered in women's halfpipe.   The good news is that women's ski cross will have 32 entries for the first time since 2010.
