Apparently the biggest amount of slovaks or peoples of slovak ancestry lives in Pittsburgh, they also organize apparently some annual festival wow :woot:

I makes sense since they would not have entered through the Southern or Northern broader. Most probably went through New York and then mistook the Amish for other folk Europeans :p. I also like how many counties Kentucky has compared to Nevada. 

 

P.S. I’ll give any at least 10 points in the TISC if they find my country on there (legal notice: user not beholden to promise)

Trying not to get to excited, but Biden has dropped to second in Iowa polling! My (technical) party’s candidate has taken the lead! Warren looks to be up by 2%! (Margin of error is +-4%)

Trump spent the morning attacking Joe Biden’s dead son :facepalm:. I’m not saying that his son’s actions shouldn’t be questioned if they were illegal. I just think it’s something that no one wants to see. I mean this isn’t even a story because of the 3 million other shity things that happen in my country daily nowadays. It’s all in response to a bombshell report by multiple respectable news outlets that Trump asked Ukraine to spy on and dig up dirt on Joe Biden or he’d cut off US aid to Ukraine (which if actually proven could realistically get him impeached (It won’t, but I like the thought))

Good Riddance!

Hopefully this actually brings the change people want to see. It would be the first time the center-left has had control of Israeli politics in a long time.

    • It’s just a great weasel word.   We all want  to come back to International sport "when they are in compliance". But there are very differing opinions on what that means.
    • I doubt that.  It will mean only a doping rubber stamp and a promise not to swear at the ice skating moppets in public,
    • So, kind of forgotten about at the end of the summer season, we have two events to go in the World Triathlon Championship Series, the last WTCS regular season races of the year in Weihai , then the Final in  in mid-October.  All to play for because there are double points up for grabs in the last race, so effectively nothing really decided yet.  Races are tomorrow morning  time, so pretty much overnight in Europe.   Races are full Olympic length and apparently a hilly cycling course.  Here's the situation and preview for the Men.     World Triathlon Championship Series Weihai ready for another epic Wilde vs Yee battle | World Triathlon Championship Series   And for the women   Women's World Triathlon Championship Series rankings to heat up in Weihai | World Triathlon Championship Series    
    • "once it returns to compliance" would mean it renounces its claim to Crimea... Can't see that happening any time soon.
    • Maggie MacNeil   She was an Olympic, World (LC and SC) Pan American Games and Commonwealth Games Champion. Highly decorated career. 
    • when I raised the question, I forgot that that there was no U23 medals for women just a couple years ago...
    • it happens when you think too much ahead about the next match (vs Brazil) while you have a tough opponent ahead. they gave up 4 silly goals in the first half and then it was a mountain to climb.  Iran had a last penalty exactly in the last second which hit the bar   have to admit Iran played terrible the entire match and didn't deserve the win but Morocco is also a very ugly team. lots of acting, deceiving, diving and protesting in the 2nd half. putting Iran in 5 fouls very early which made the team playing cautious 
    • Morocco won after almost being stolen the victory by the refs. Those officials should be sent home after calling that joke foul in the last second.
    • and another medal. in Road Race this time.   Bronze despite a face crash in the middle of the race, her 5th medal of the year, 4th from 3 different sports World Championships  
    • Hi  @Griff88, @JoshMartini007, @mpjmcevoy, @vinipereira, @Vic Liu, @Cinnamon Bun, @hckošice, @rybak, @Josh, @avlar, @heywoodu, @rybak@MHSN@Epic Failure, @phelps, @ChandlerMne @Grassmarket, @De_Gambassi, @Olympian1010, @konig, @Monzanator , @dodge, @PHI2019, @Fer GUA Attached is points table based on Top 6 performance in each event where 1st place gets 10 points, 2nd gets 7 pts, 3rd gets 5, 4th gets 3, 5th gets 2,6th gets 1. To measure nations' performance few terms have been introduced 'Quota' is number of participants per country in each event. Qualified but non-participation is not included in Quota. 'Top 6' is the number of events a country finished in Top 6. Conversion = Top 6 / Quota which implies Contingent quality. 'Normalized Points' = Points / (Number of events in that sport). For example, if a country wins just 1 Gold in Archery, they will get 10 points but 10 points/ 9 events = 1.11 Normalized Points. This metric will be high for countries who earn points in multiple sports. Sport' can be defined as set of events governed by same federation   Salient Observations 1) The nations' rank for points is closely related to rank of total medals won 2) Top spot for  is deserved as they have the highest participation, almost 70% conversion and dominate many sports like Athletics, Swimming and Table Tennis 3)  finished 9th despite limited participation 4) Best ever successful edition for  as finished 21st in medal table and accumulated medals and points in Fencing, Table Tennis and Athletics   Please put in your comments and feedback. There might be data errors due to primary data errors, misinterpretation, or less information on a sport ParaOlympics_2024.xlsx
