Grassmarket 2,757 Posted September 1, 2023 #271 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) Damn, missed this live, but here’s the highlights. From it’s the big one in the world of Wife-Carrying, the annual World Championships. NB make sure you have the CC enabled, unless you speak Finnish. The sport us somewhat misnamed, as the pairs need nit be husband & wife. Edited September 1, 2023 by Grassmarket phelps and Josh 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,560 Posted October 29, 2023 #272 Share Posted October 29, 2023 The 12th korfball world championships were played in Taiwan, with all matches played in Taipei I believe. After 11 consecutive - finals - with Belgium taking a legendary world title in 1991 and the Netherlands winning the other 10 - Belgium was actually knocked out in the semi's this time....by Taiwan (which has been the 3rd country for a while already) Today was the final, Netherlands - Taiwan, in which things went back to normal and the Netherlands took an easy win after a bit of a rough start: 27-11. Belgium finished in 3rd after beating 26-11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_IKF_World_Korfball_Championship Josh and hckošice 1 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

They lost to the Czech Republic 13:21 on Monday in a direct battle for advancement to the quarterfinals. On Tuesday, Slovakia's next match against Catalonia will determine the final position in the super-round Group I. If successful, they will fight for the final 9-12. place, a loss will condemn them to the fights for 13.-16. the place.
