FIL looking for new Luge World Cup final venue after event in Beijing postponed
https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1101277/luge-world-cup-beijing-postponed

 

”The International Luge Federation (FIL) is seeking an alternative venue for its Luge World Cup final after postponing the event in Beijing in February, which had been due to serve as a test event for the 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The Yanqing National Sliding Center had been set to host an international training week for Beijing 2022 before the World Cup final, scheduled to run from February 19 to 21.

In a statement, the FIL said it had postponed the events because of the coronavirus pandemic.”

I'll never understand these Ukrainian/Romanian/Slovak lugers.

 

Sure, competing at the Olympics is probably nice and all, but collecting 28th and 29th places season, after season, after season, seems dull. :p

Probably a combination of doing what they love and fighting to keep an income :p

Something that would be so much easier with a normal job. :p

 

It seems to be a running theme in luge. Such athletes usually stay around for one cycle in skeleton/bobsleigh. And luge? One 31st place. Great - three Olympics minimum!

      The third day of the Challenge Series (Group B) has just finished. Uganda confirmed their great form by winning by 209 runs against Tanzania. Honestly I think Uganda is the big favourite in the tournament, but anything can happen in three years.     In the other match, the most important one for me , Italy dominated against Hong Kong and won by 155 runs. Some batting was very good, on fielding we can still improve. Compared to the last matches with Hong Kong in the past years there has been a frightening improvement for the Azzurri.

      This is something pretty cool I came across just now, again from earlier this morning.  Classic Boat Race-type open river event on the Rio Guadalquivir in Seville,  featuring the two local Sporting Clubs, Real Betis & Sevilla, and big local crowds.  Women's and Men's races.   world rowing - YouTube

      I would like to make a minor comment on the provisional schedule for @Cinnamon Bun: I just came home from bringing the Brazilian jury to the airport, said jury will be in Sweden during the Grand Final  It makes me wonder if 'local time' should be the local time of the country (Brazil), or the local time of where the jury is in this case (Sweden), to avoid confusion (especially since it's a 1-person jury anyway).

      Trump's physical health may still be quite good, indeed. Mental health is a different story, judging by almost all of his speeches where he just gets lost in his own words.   But yeah, exactly what you mention: he can literally commit crimes and try and raise a coup, and his electorate won't care at all. That is of course besides the millions of people who might not really want to vote for a person like Trump, but simply believe with his policies they will have a better chance of paying their groceries, which - sad as it is - is definitely an understandable reason.
