No idea about this. And I would not be able to be sure even if I had to choose between 2 of these. So I use my gift to "JUMP" this question.

Let's jump this.

Croatian mercenaries were famous for their neckties. You also call them cravats in many countries. The French "à la cravate" means Croatian-style.

Thanks to Totallympics I became an expert of world time zones :d  This is a tricky one and I was going to answer Brazil because I was sure of Netherlands (UTC +1), Norway (UTC +1) and China (UTC +8) time zones. But then I am also sure Brazil can not be UTC +1.

 

The Netherlands also owns Aruba, whose time zone is UTC -4. So I will go with A. Netherlands.

Brazil has four timezones, from UTC-2 to UTC-5... but the Caribbean Netherlands was the catch, so A is right. :d

    • Surely they will unless I am missing something. 
    • So, will they appeal to CAS like in Sinner case?
    • https://www.skysports.com/tennis/news/12110/13262332/iga-swiatek-five-time-grand-slam-champion-accepts-one-month-suspension-in-doping-case Cwnt see WADA not overturning this. One month for a banned substance is very low even for accidental consumption. I’ve only ever heard that short for something banned only in Competition and therefore not seen as fully doping. . 
    • big big news regarding Olympic bronze medalist and two time World Champion  Zurabi Datunashvili   https://ita.sport/news/the-ita-acknowledges-cas-add-decision-sanctioning-wrestler-zurabi-datunashvili-for-anti-doping-rule-violations/   to be honest everything was suspicious about this guy, his sudden improvement since 2021, his body, his sudden retirement in 2023 . its great to see him finally getting caught.   they will reallocate the medals later after the end of the process but his Olympic bronze will go to  Ivan Huklek, I think that will be the first ever wrestling medal for Croatia   his 2021 World title will go  Maskevich and the 2022 gold goes to  Bisultanov Bisultanov will benefit more than anybody else, he also gets a bronze from 2021 and  Kessidis will get a bronze from 2022.
