Sport when you were betting on your own life :hyper:

 

In France, we have been traumatized with temporary facilities like this since the Furiani accident (1992)

The face of a Ice Hockey Goalie before the invention of helmets :p

 

the face of 36-year-old goaltender Terry Sawchuck of Toronto. During his 16-year career in the NHL, he "earned" 400 stitches on his face, all inflicted by the puck.

17th June,

 

Today it is exactly 60 years since the last Slovak (and Czech :p) players played the FIFA Football World Cup final :)

 

In 1962, when Czechoslovak national team was heading to Chile there were not a lot of expectations nor hype in the country, people were rather criticizing and mocking the players, sentences like "Just withdrew and do not go make shame there" were the most frequent...

 

but the team under coach Vytlačil completely shocked the whole football planet already in the opening match beating 1:0 Spain by a goal of Jozef Štibrányi and shut-out of the elected best goalkeepr of the tournament Viliam Schrojf, 2 of the 9 Slovak players of the team

and started a completely sci-fi-fairytale journey which ended by a lost Gold medal match to :BRA in Estadio Nacional the 17th June 1962.

 

After 15 minutes they were even leading the final 1-0

the moral of the story....

 

When the players returned home, a overcrowded airport with tens of thousands fans were awaiting them.

 

and the beloved Comunist party leading the country awarded the players by a public praise for the excellent representation of the socialist homeland a full week vacation in Yugoslavia and 5000 Czechoslovak crowns bonus for the players (which was the prize of a TV at that time here :p

1974 World Dressage Championships were held right in the centre of Copenhagen, in front of the Christianborg Castle which holds the Danish government.

1982 World Championships in Lausanne were a swan song for the legendary powerhouse that was Granat. Swiss organizers tweaked some rules to help them out, but Christine Stueckelberger & then 17-year old Granat nevertheless ended up with an individual silver.

    • As a Montreal Canadien fan, I am in agreement. However, he is struggling recently and is demoted to the 4th line this week. Hoping he can turn it around. 
    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
