Team rules are rules, I suppose, no favourites. Will keep the race interesting till the end, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,866 Posted December 2, 2020 #372 Share Posted December 2, 2020 @WerlocYou made no spelling errors in Szczurek & Szwajnos names! Highly impressive! Jakiela comes in since Piton will do the relay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werloc 3,152 Posted December 2, 2020 #374 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Our relay is really gonna feel the absence of Tomas Kaukėnas. Hopefully we get him back for stage 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stvrtecky is easier to prounounce than, say, Roeiseland. heywoodu 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try pronouncing my cousin’s daughter’s name - Caoimhe. 95% of Scottish people can’t do it. (It’s Kiva - Кива) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,866 Posted December 2, 2020 #378 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Feels like off-season on steroids! Irish names in a biathlon thread However my name would be more difficult to pronounce than this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, Scandinavian names and surnames are easier for me to pronounce than Eastern ones. Perhaps it's because those languages have germanic roots and are somewhat similar to English.

Grassmarket 2,997 Posted December 2, 2020 #380 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Actually Slavic names are easy to pronounce once you’ve learnt the basic spelling rules for each of the dozen or so languages. Only takes about eighteen months of work, but it’ll serve you for the rest of your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
