Now, whatever happens, you are currently the unshared record player with at least 251,000 points.

 

With that in mind, here's your next question.

As it goes with so many things, Greece and Cyprus are very close connected and in this case also. As the highest point in Cyprus is also named Mount Olympus just like its Greek counterpart. Two different mountains/points, but same name. D is my answer.

I know nothing about Persian textile patterns or textile patterns in general for that matter. :lol: I would like to use one of my lifelines and switch out this question with another. A 50-50 wouldn't help me in this case and I would like to save my expert for later.

Oh alright.

Well, we're talking about the beautiful Paisley pattern here.

Shweshwe is African, Argyle is the Scottish diamond pattern and Herringbone is presumably old European.

    • Johaug will not be competing in Milano-Cortina.
    • Noel- 1st place today after 1 run, Amiez- 3rd place... Vinatzer is a talent similar to Noel, so I ask where are his results, where are the other skiers in the lead of classification? Did they really think they would ride on one Gross and Razzoli until 2026?
    • The problem of the Italian federation is that her system doesn`t work and we can`t afford to lose talents like Colturi. Our slalom does not exist, whether among women or men. We are currently at a level under that Croatia in women and Bulgaria in the men's category. There is no progress, in fact there is regression, because while Vinatzer often didn`t finish runs a few years ago, when he did finish he was able to be in the top. Now he either doesn`t finish or is around 20th place, like now. In the women's category the peak of our abilities is Peterlini, who regularly placed around 20th place in the World Cup... If we can`t afford to invest more than Albania and that with the Winter Olympics in a year at home, so I think we can really dissolve our ski sector and focus on something else... If the federation is satisfied with such low levels, let them continue   Btw. maybe it's better investing in private teams like Colturi, if it works? I'd like have 1-2 Colturi in private teams, who will stand on the podiums of the World Cup, than a national team consisting of 5-6 average skiers, who can take 20th place at most, if they finish the race at all...

    • IMO the Italian federation was right in not giving to that financial and political blackmail - had they accepted it, plenty of more established athletes in snow sports could have asked for more under the threat of changing nationality. It's not like they had a sports almanac from the future saying that that 15yo girl would have won 5 olympic gold medals and 5 overall world cups.
