FAI held an art contest to help keep young people busy during quarantine; here are the winners: https://www.fai.org/young-artists-contest-winners/155483/2020

 

There’s some really skillful and imaginative artwork at that link. My favorites are the winner and runner-up of the senior category, and winner of the intermediate category. I feel the need to tag @Werloc, since there’s even a rare Lithuanian victory in an international contest :p

Sir, that’s Malta, not the Holy See.

Fans of eccentric and slow British sports will be delighted to know that today is the beginning of the World Indoor Bowls Championships 2021.  It’s basically curling on a carpet, not like the vulgar, noisy & hard-to-understand-the-scoring American 10-pin bowling.  :hatoff:
 

Can also be prescribed to new mothers having trouble getting new-borns to sleep.  :sleep:

 

Sadly, because of COVID, this year it is a World Championships in the same sense that the Baseball World Series is a world series, but still at least four nations are represented, possibly even more if any players from the Channel Islands have qualified.


All live on YouTube.  No spectators, who generally represent a cross-section of the very highest-risk COVID percentiles.  :popcorn:
