Here are some of the better ones. Should have made a bigger effort to keep my camera still. :p

 

Earlier in the stage while they were passing through the southern Zagreb.

Geez, this isn’t good.

 

 

A professional cyclist has detailed a harrowing attack during which he was knocked off his bike by machete-wielding thieves on motorbikes. 
 

Alexandar Richardson, 31, was training in Richmond Park on Thursday afternoonwhen four attackers gave chase, with two of them on motorbikes.

Stupidest woman in France goes on trial tomorrow. Short-sightedly, the French closed Devil’s Island back in 1953.

….and the Women’s TdF also.  Finishes on La Planche des Belles Filles, setting up an obvious newspaper headline.

    • Bulgarian team is out for the upcoming ECH. There are some good news in that after a year of scandals, some of the biggest names are once again included in the National team and will participate. The issues have not been cleared by any means, but both sides said they have made compromises for now, so that the best wrestlers compete.   @MHSN   By the way, wasn't there some UWW rule about the number of foreigners you had to field per style? As far as i see, we are using almost all of our Russians  Guess this rule was set for any new naturalisations and all previous ones are disregarded, which practically makes this change useless for 6-7 years down the road.   Men's Freestyle:   57 kg - Ivailo Tisov 61 kg -  Erdal Galip  65 kg - Shamil Mamedov (  ) 70 kg - Mikyay Naim 74 kg - Mihail Georgiev   79 kg - Aykan Seid 86 kg - Engin Ismail  92 kg - Ahmed Bataev (  ) 97 kg - Akhmed Magamaev (  ) 125 kg - Alen Khubulov (  )   Men's Greco-Roman:   55 kg - Stefan Grigorov 60 kg - Borislav Kirilov 63 kg - Nikolay Vichev 67 kg - Abu-Muslim Amaev (  ) 72 kg - Dimitar Georgiev   77 kg - Stoyan Kubatov 82 kg - Svetoslav Nikolov 87 kg - Semen Novikov (  ) 97 kg - Kiril Milov   Women's Freestyle:   57 kg - Olga Popova 59 kg - Viktoria Boynova 62 kg - Bilyana Dudova 68 kg - Daniela Brasnarova 76 kg - Vanesa Georgieva  
    • Unfortunately, our best striker- Mathilde Fantin, was injured today. Without her we don't have much of a chance against Hungary and France Hopefully, it's nothing serious. As for Slovakia it's still a very young team. Years go by, but these girls are still so young I don't know if there's anyone over 30 there? The Slovak goalkeeper also played bad today.
    • It's hard for me to understand Russia's popularity in Bulgaria. I understand that there was propaganda during the Soviet era, but there was also propaganda in Poland, for example, and Russia isn't popular there. And in Bulgaria, immediately after World War II, the communists carried out terrible repression- a more worse than in Poland or Czechoslovakia. Considering the scale of these repressions, only Albania was worse in Europe under Hoxha. For example, Russia's popularity in Italy can be explained by the fact that these countries have never been neighbors and Russia has never done anything bad to Italy - in the sense of repression, murder, ethnic cleansing in history.
    • Yes, PP is the most pro-European party there currently is. Before Radev stepped down as President and joined the running, PP was leading the polls after the big protests last December, as they were seen as the only real alternative to the corrupt status quo.    After Radev joined, PP lost around 10-15% of the votes, as those people were never true PP voters, but more anti GERB / DPS ones, so they gladly jumped ship to Radev.    The thing which led to the downfall of PP was that they thought they could rule with a strong European policy on the budget and wanted to reform many sectors, which people of course were against, because they wouldn't be able to leech off the system anymore. Plus they started ruling in the worst possible time, as it coincided with 2 major crises, the second year of Covid and the start of the Ukraine war.    There are many reasons why PP unfortunately lost support, but it is hard to explain it for non-Bulgarians. 
    • The Stoevi sisters are just amazing. It's a shame their accomplishments will always be in the shadows here, just because they are in a sport without much coverage, tradition, interest.    This is their 7th European title (5 ECH + 2 European Games) which is just one shy of Carolina Marin's all time record of 8th titles in a specific event. Plus it was their 6th consecutive final with only one loss in 2024 in this streak.
