man, at least it was quick.

 

I know people who have suffered so much through a very long period (years) because of that terrible disease.

There's a British documentary about an English rugby player who has ALS / MND / Lou Gehrig Disease (if you want to know all the disease's names).

It's brilliant TV but it's very tough to watch it.

Was a member of the 1991 Grand Slam winning team, who are legends of Scottish sport, hugely more famous than any other rugby team.

    • They may have to put Russia in the Calgary group to avoid any political issue in Czechia.   A group with Canada, Russia and the United States would be deadly. I'd feel sorry for the 4th team
    • Well, I'm sad and happy at the same time. I'm happy because I expected it and we're not taking a spot away from a country that deserved it more.   But, we used to be one of the leading basketball countries, we were world champions and Olympic runners-up. Now we can't even qualify for a world tournament anymore, always losing to teams like Puerto Rico, a declining Serbia, an ascending Germany, and now being left out by the hardworking Czech Republic and Mali...   The worst part is that there won't be any improvement. Nobody cares about losers, nobody cares about women's basketball here. The national league is terrible, there are no young players, the national federation doesn't care...
    • This also seems to have the update Athletics schedule, too.
    • Alpine Skiing   Asa Ando    Figure Skating   Carolane Soucisse/Shane Firus  Wakaba Higuchi 
    • Besides the radical new football schedule, there was a bit of clarification of the tennis schedule.  The women's singles medal matches will be during the day on July 27, and the men's doubles in the evening.  July 28 will see the men's singles during the day and women's doubles in the evening.  Bit of an odd schedule there, actually.  
    • New schedule  posted.      https://la28.org/content/dam/latwentyeight/competition-schedule-imagery/uploaded-march-16-v-3-0/LA28OlympicGamesCompetitionScheduleByEventV3.0.pdf
    • Well, let be real for a second here and not fly on parallel universe  the ONLY chance for Slovakia to take part to this is when Russia will not be invited.    And Seriously, I would not bet a single leaky penny on that to happen.   Imagine a tournament run by the most greedy businessemen on earth NHL lords, with the right to invite whoever they want and make whatever rules they want... and not inviting to their own tourney Russia who has more than 50 NHL stars in the league right now including the likes of Kaprizov, Vasilevskiy, Kucherov, Demidov, Malkin or Shestorkin.  Come on ! Not gonna happen, Russians will be there and will make the semis where they will lose to one of the 2 North-Americans before the Canada-USA scripted final.   Do not fall into the trap, this is all just for money.   And since Germany is a bigger and obviously more interesting market than us and have the superstars Drai and Stutzle to bring they will be picked as 8th over Slovakia on any day. Switzerland being the clear seventh for their bigger amount of NHLers is obviously as well.

    • He will transfom Cuba to Epstein Island 2      Donald Trump ranted to reporters that he had the right to do “anything” he wanted with Cuba, claiming that the island nation is a failed state and promising that the country was next on his list of adversaries to confront after Iran.
    • Look at that    Trump says he’ll have the ‘honor of taking Cuba’ and can do ‘anything I want with it’ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-cuba-military-invasion-b2939753.html
