I think here we could vote at the train station as well earlier this month. I think it's quite convenient actually. Personally I didn't vote there, ever since I could vote I did so in my old elementary school, but since this year that was not a location anymore :( So this time it was the old people's home nearby :p

Once again the interest is really unusually high considering our standards. people also come from abroad only because of the elections. Yes, the Slovak presidential election cannot be elected from abroad. So if you are our citizen and living abroad you have to be in Slovakia the day of elections to be able to vote :wall:

 

A moment ago I saw a report about a man who is living and working for years in Argentina, he had to buy a airline ticket and ask for a vacation at work only to be able to come and vote, the same with one girl that arrived yesterday from Australia. One boy studying in the Czech Republic went nearly hundred kilometers by bicycle to the firstvoting station behind the borders this morning just to vote. :d

btw there also options in our betting companies to bet for this election, one guy already won 17 500 euro in the first round (he had the guts and placed 9 999 Euro on Čaputová´s 1st round win with odds 1.75) https://ekonomika.sme.sk/c/22077477/za-vitaztvo-caputovej-v-prvom-kole-volieb-zinkasuje-tiper-takmer-17-500-eur.html :d

I hate when news outlets bring something as 'big winnings' when in fact someone just had high stakes :p 

 

If I bet one billion euro on "Will Russia win at least one match at the ice hockey world championships?" at odds of 1.01, I win 10 million euros, but risked quite a lot :p

51.2 % of votes counted

 

e156a124-ab02-4d8f-b4b0-00a407844adb.png

 

She is leading in 7 of the 8 regions so far, In Bratislava region it´s not even a fair fight after 44 % of the votes counted, so the biggest stations of the capital are not even counted yet lol

Interesting difference also in Košice region after 48 % of the votes counted

      What are the odds WTA/ITF has Kostyuk vs Potapova AO R1 just to see if the hand shake happens?

      Malinin  opted for the 4-Axel in his Short Program, but faltered, landing him in 3rd thus far (and only 0.05 away from 4th!).  Surely he has the tools to rise back up in the Free Program.  (Also, perhaps this will serve to show him that he is in fact beatable.)

      I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->

      Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)

      That's what I'd plan as well (except for MelFest), but I also know I am hypocritical enough to still want to watch the show and have a fun evening

      Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.

      Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
