@Olympian1010 :SVK president Zuzana Čaputová landed in New York for her first visit of the :USA but don´t worry her program doesn´t include any meeting with your "president" or any other USA diplomat. She just wanted to attend the Globsec last night, then will have a speech at the UN, her next program is the climatic summit, a short meeting with UN general secretary and want spend a day to visit and speaks with the Slovak minority in USA

That’s cool. If she would have landed in California I would’ve tried to get a picture of her leaving the plane myself.

 

Also, I just remembered a really unique fact about my childhood for some reason.

 

Before the space shuttle program was shutdown, they used to land in my home town. The sonic booms were unbelievably loud. Seeing that thing just dart across the sky and then slow down was just awesome. All of the landings I saw (2 I think) were successful thankfully.

Ah, so she's the only smart person in the room, digging in before some idiot throws some olives on her actual food?

I’m going to have Bruna sneak an olive into one of the your dinners one of these days. It will be the highlight of the year.

Damn less than 5 Slovaks live near me. At least I get my exotic Slovak experience through @hckosice. I would know zero Slovaks besides Sagan if not for @hckosice

    • Today, maybe there was poor wax servic, but Auchentaller loses in every race at the end, when younger competitors: Grotian, Richard, etc. are already running much faster. Vittozzi is 29 years old but unfortunately she got injured in November - if she recovers, she will still have a big chance for medals. Unfortunately, Wierer can only be a complement to relay teams.
    • Could be the waxing on the last lap fresh snow. Auchentaller, Wierer & Trabucci all fell off on the last lap and basically had the slowest skiing time there? Overall though you have a problem, days of prime Wierer & Vittozzi won't be repeated soon but then I hear the same issues in alpine skiing where there is a huge gap behind Brignone & Bassino (the latter being 28 years old already). And someone claimed Colturi would have plateau'd if she stayed with the Italian federation as well.
    • Could not watch it, despite that I'm definitely not upset :)
    • I am rooting for Team Canada in Ice hockey and Team Austria in Ski jumping
    • Finally at least one condition suitable for the dog shit we wax
    • Slovakia returns to the podium for the first time since Oslo in March 2022. To find a podium in the mass start we even have to go back to Rupholding 2019, before the covid era
    • The truth is that the entire Italian biathlon depends on one Vittozzi, who is not sure if she will return this season and her form is also questionable, because the rest of the Italian team is running poorly. Wierer is old and will never win again - she is running weaker and weaker and what is worse: she is shooting poorly. The rest of our team is running too weakly to count on any successes in the future. I don`t believe that Auchentaller or Comola will suddenly make a big progress in the run track, e.g. to the top 10, since the young French women are already much faster than them.
    • Auchentaller runs poorly, and her last rounds are awful - generally all Italian women have a problem with fitness and this is probably the problem of poor preparation before the season. If you don't run in the top 10, you can forget about successes apart from one individual race. Wierer and Vittozzi always ran in the top 10 during their prime. I don't see such potential in Auchentaller. Generally, both in biathlon and cross-country skiing Italian teams aren`t able to train a few good runners for many years and this is probably a systemic problem - look at France, for example: how many good runners have they been able to train in biathlon in recent years...
    • First winter podium for Slovakia! Amazing. Nice to see us finally on the podium this winter. Feels like a good step forward for biathlon here, hopefully, a sign of better things to come. Solid result, let’s hope for more like this.
