Is it the Eastern Orthodox Christmas or something like that.

 

I know that! ;)

 

I wrote "those who celebrate today" only because I'm not one of them (actually, today here in Italy it's the first day after the end of the X'mas/New Year's vacation...the second worst day of the year, just behind the first day after the end of the Summer break :facepalm:)

OK, it was a misunderstanding, then...as I didn't see the question mark...;)

 

however, yes...it's the Christian Orthodox Church (mainly based in Eastern Europe, but with small communities well established also in the rest of the Continent and wherever the Diaspora from those Countries has chosen to live) celebrating their Christams Day (which comes about 2 weeks later than the rest of Cristianity because they still use the ancient Julian calendar and never accepted to adopt the "newer" Gregorian calendar used by all the other Christian communities)...

      We have much more events and there may be no Russia in 2026 so most of the NOCs should improve. But not Poland i’m afraid

      For sure better for  one silver - I think it was Shelly Rudman, Skeleton.  Can definitely improve on that.   Still remember it as a good games, though - think it was the first time I took two weeks off work to watch a Winter Games.
