Good to know there will be a women's hockey wch in Budapest this year.

Admittedly I was out of the loop for many sports recently (only followed the winter sports world cup circuit prior to the Olympics and not everything from there even)

According to Wikipedia the first day of the competition will be Election Day (12 April)

Hopefully this will not be a bad omen for any of the teams involved....

According to our bookmakers, Orban could lose after so long time, but I've read that there may be electoral fraud. What do you think?

Fraud hopefully not, it's true that everyone says it will be like 50-50% as far as the winner is concerned.

Hopefully the moron (ov) loses but honestly don't know what will happen.

My main concern is that it was said about the 2024 US election that it will be very close and then what happened... (I mean hopefully these opinion polls are more reliable than the American ones)

In my opinion, the maximum period in power should be 8 years. Next to, it's already too long, especially since Hungary's economy is much weaker than earlier. Just as Italy has too many changes of government, Orbán's 16 years in power is definitely too long for me. Perhaps only Erdogan and Putin have ruled in Europe longer, but those are semi-dictatorships.

In the USA, just about two weeks before the election, bookmakers were betting heavily on Trump, from what I remember good. They were more wrong in 2016 with Trump and Clinton – then, Clinton was expected to win clearly until the very end.

My pre-Games prediction of USA and Canada doing exceptionally well is going to dust. :lol: It's so uncharacteristic for USA to be losing so many of their "secure" golds. I thought they could beat Norway, now I don't know if they could reach even 9-10 golds.
