It has been quite a work behind the scenes to get them to start here, and even under their country's flag, but it did work. If I'm not mistaken they train somewhere in Europe nowadays, I feel like it's Germany but I'm not sure. It's working though!

I believe she and her sister have been training at the UCI WCC for the last few months. Great ride for her today.

Flat tyre for Tarling.

That sir, is a city in :LBN (and a very important city in ancient Phoenicia)

 

I believe you mean "tire."

I was in fact talking about the place where the Carthaginian empire has it's roots after the princess/queen found her way out with a trick. Tarling wants to visit it, but it's sadly flat!

And especially Yulduz is really doing good, this year's she's been finishing midway in the pack in quite strong and good races, whereas usually athletes from her background would finish far, far, far ahead of the pack. If she can keep this progress up, and of course that is always an 'if', I genuinely believe she'll be capable of slowly moving towards things like top-30 results in (mostly flat, for now) World Tour races. Doing that even once would be amazing.

I thought it was Carthage the Romans left flat not Tyre.

Yeah, Tyre got done by other powers, but it still ended :p Carthage was with the Romes indeed.

 

Kind of off topic, but the Fall of Civilizations podcast is amazing, coincidentally the Carthage episode is the second-to-last one I listened.

The Romans had a talent for it. They did the same to Corinth. 

 

One of the best programmes I've seen of that kind was about the fall of the Hittite Empire which covered large parts of Turkey, Lebanon and Syria. The discovery of a library in the abandoned capital, the work done to decipher the language and the consequent revelations about the rise, fall and collapse of their Empire were fascinating. I'm still waiting for someone to decipher Etruscan though.

      Finals are set    An all-Canadian final on the women’s side, as Team Homan looks to win their third title of the season (and improve to 18-1) against a hungry Team Einarson who have had a less than ideal start to the season, they were also the last Canadian team to beat Homan over a year ago (same event coincidentally), while on the men’s side it’ll be a battle between Olympic medalists as Team Mouat goes against Team Gushue!

      yeah I know    I mean it wasn't a different team specific for that sport. it was the same CC team participating in both sports.

      from what I heard , Iran has registered to participate in Alpine, CC skiing, SkiMo, Skating (they didn't mention which discipline ) and ... (this one will be surprising ) ... Curling    Curling is not a sure thing yet, the NOC has to approve it. the team is very new. I mean very very new, only few months ago they gathered few people to start the sport  you can't lose 100-0 in Curling, right ?    anyway it will be first time ever Iran participating outside of FIS disciplines. ( I didn't count Ski orienteering in 2011 which was the same as CC)   nobody cares about winter sports here. therefore finishing last won't have consequences. they can afford sending very weak teams. (which is not the case for the main Asian Games)

      11 medals out of 15 athletes. for whatever reason  we sent an incomplete team of 16 athletes (only 1 left for tomorrow) I wish I knew why  I can guess though   the result is indeed very good in such a competitive sport but lack of talent was never our problem in taekwondo. it was always there probably much more than any other country.    but the problem is the transition to the senior team. most of previous junior world champions never even made the senior team. (the new federation is doing better in this regard though)
