One third of the Hungarian population became minority in 1920. Most of them in blocks on the other side of the newly and 'wisely' created new borders. But the Hungarians were ignored there too. This is still hurt us! The benes doctrines, the 'reslovakiasion', the language restriction, etc.

Of course the Hungarians cannot speak about these things. We have to shame ourselves!

Belarus' minister of foreign affairs (who was seen as potential successor of Lukashenko one day) has, to quote the official announcements, 'suddenly died'.

Presumably he said something wrong or something, who knows, that tends to be bad for your health in the Russian sphere of influence. Maybe he stood too close to a window, you never know.

    • to me, every TT and Diving event is just a free gold for   it's time to cut down the number of those events...and not by only a few
    • until Sport Climbing became part of the Olympic schedule, the "combined event" didn't exist and it was quite an oddity to see the same people being at the top of both boulder and lead, even if boulder was basically invented as a form of (indoor) training for the lead specialists   in the last 10 years, with this "combined event" included in the Olympic program, many things have changed and of course the strongest specialists in both disciplines started to develop also the skills required by "the other one" to be competitive in the new event   actually, also the design of the boulder and lead walls has changed to allow all the top athletes to become better all-arounders than true specialists of a single event   but, despite that, there are still a very good number of those and if you're not Janja Garnbret, it's very difficult to be a medal candidate in both disciplines   most likely, with boulder and lead being now separated also at the Olympics, I hope everything will be back to basics, with boulder and lead walls being way more complicated for the non-specialists, requiring different skills (and physical characteristics) that can't easily match one with the others
    • despite the finals are still running, it's certain that  win gold & silver and  win bronze in the mixed air pistol competition 
    • it's the configuration of the building: there are a lot of outdoor spaces (more than usual), with the wind gusts going left and right, which is very tricky for the shooters (especially those used to different conditions where the scores are normally higher)
