Something for @hckošiceApparently Slovakian crime mob is dumping bodies on the Polish side of the border. The death of the policeman from Nitra was ruled a suicide i.e. the guy closed himself in the back of the trunk and shot himself in the head there :coffee: Even our journalists & locals suspect there's something fishy going on here :p

Not as elaborate a suicide as the Hong Kong cop back in the days of British rule who shot himself six times, though.  :smoke:

Do you have some "fever" sport in your country?

 

Since last year looks like everyone is playing Beach Tennis.

 

In my City, 400km far from the sea and with about 80k people i can easily count 10 new sand courts (actually complexes with many courts) opened here in the last few months lol

 

Before this "fever" ive never heard of this sport

Not really here, we tend to "rediscover" sports that were previously abandoned due to lack of success for years.

 

Can't really say 3x3 basketball became a "fever" sport in the last couple of years but maybe I forgot about something...

The miniature racket sports have really taken off since the pandemic. Pickleball has become crazy popular recreationally and somewhat professionally in the United States. Padel has really taken off in parts of Europe and the Middle East as well. I guess Brazil’s chosen pursuit is beach tennis :p

Punxsutawney Phil, the world's only marmot meteorologist, saw his shadow today, meaning there are six more weeks of winter.

If you put this in a film, it would be a racist stereotype & you’d be arrested by the Woke Inquisition, but this is real life.

 


A convicted Italian mafia killer on the run since 2006 has been caught in France, having hidden in plain sight as a pizza chef for at least three years

Americans don’t know that marmots brought the Black Death to Europe. We don’t interview them on TV.  :bones:

    • Disappointing end of the race, wanted to see history this year 
    • A lot of sports have been ruined with rule changes, modern pentathlon has actually better with these rules I think. I would never watch something span over 2 days. Short and quick finals is what most audience want.   Obviously can be optimised further, but this is definitely an excellent job and that's how a sport should be.
    • World Cup 1     Cairo, April 7-12       Women: Gold: Blanka Guzi - 1,488 pts (New World Record) Silver: Anastasiya Malashenoka  Bronze: Viyaleta Hureyeva    Men: Gold: Moutaz Mohamed  - 1,608 pts (New World Record) Silver: Mathis Rochat  Bronze: Mihaly Koleszar 
    • Felt the athletes didn't give it their all in swimming, it was slow
    • China was not at the Olympics. You played Japan.   Taking any conculsions after 1 match is too early and premature. Norway is definitely by any mean not a punching bag, They are a team relegated from the Top division. Nobody is going to blown them. In the opposite China yes, they were piss poor today, totally harmless, this is not China from the pre and Beijing era, any naturalized player is not in the team anymore, only local girls who had issues even with normal skating and puck control, Was quite embarassing to watch this, but kudos to China they decided to go this harder way and reform their team with local players.   Italy is still the number one favorite for promotion, 3 points against Norway are the first and very important step. Your main games will still be Hungary and France as scripted.
    • Italy today beat Norway only 2-1 (and also was a draw in the all shots stats: 28- 26). It doesn't look good for us– our form has probably arrived in February, not now. In my opinion, Slovakia will be the favorite tomorrow – they won 7-0 against China today – and they'll probably were a peak of the form. Personally, I wasn't expecting Italy to advance and I think I was right – it's good that the minimum goal – no relegation – is almost certain. Certainly, today wasn't the same form as in February at the Olympics in the matches against France and China.
    • looking at the video and knowing Australia, I think the wind reading was wrong, it was surely a lot more windy than +1.7, but we all know that sometimes these things happen (you're so young, I don't know what you know about the 1988 Olympic Trials in Indianapolis and Florence Griffith Joyner records -still standing )
    • I call bullshit on the performances from this race    20.01 to 19.67 would be one thing, we all know how good Gout Gout has been hyped up to be, even though it feels like ridiculously impossible with how steep of an improvement it is… but almost everyone from the race has had ridiculous PB’s, I mean Murphy who’s a 20.41 guy at best is now 19.88. McHugh broke 21 seconds for the first time a month ago, and now he’s going 20.23.   Either an extremely fast track, wrong timing, favourable headwind, not sure what it is. 
    • This also kind of showed, like last year, the biggest flaw of Pogacar: technique and bike control. The way he was wrestling himself through curve after curve where natural talents like Van Aert and Van der Poel (cyclocross greats, no coincidence) were flying through.
