Not that well known athlete, but former president of Polish NOC Andrzej Kraśnicki has died today at age of 75 after long battle with disease. 

 

In the years 2010-2023 he was the President of the Polish Olympic Committee, a member of the Executive Committee of the Association of European Olympic Committees (EOC), one of six European representatives on the Executive Council of the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC), a member of the Foundation Council of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), and the President of the Polish Olympic Foundation. In past he was also president of Polish Handball federation.

 

RIP

Lot more detail here about this long and remarkable career.  Really an insight into a bygone age of athletics.

      Taekwondo Discussion | Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028

      By Flippy · Posted

      Most people know taekwondo from watching the Olympics. However, only sparring is recognized in the Games - poomsae (forms) is completely left out. It's time for the Olympic program to acknowledge poomsae and give taekwondo's artistic discipline the recognition it deserves.   Sign this petiton: Make Poomsae an Olympic Sport

      Meanwhile Trump is - again - at the edge of legality by threatening a journalist/media company with jail time if not giving up a source for information around the US airman rescue in Iran. Nice and public on live TV.
