Today is the 44th anniversary of so-called "Islamic Revolution". I'm not old enough to witness those days myself, but the more I read and learn about those days, specially last 10 days, it's clear to me that things could easily go another way, but some small mistakes led us to the current disaster. putting the whole power in the hands of just one person is very dangerous. how the hell he could trick everybody into believing him. he didn't even try to be likeable.

 

 

now 44 years later, we are at a dead end. no light at the end of the tunnel. they are not giving up an inch (because they think if they do, they will lose everything) and people are getting more angry and hopeless. not sure what will happen when this vengeful oldman dies, and we can't even count on that because it seems he is going to outlive everybody on the planet. but we are running out of time, I'm not even sure if the country exists few years from now.

 

 

 All the best wishes for You, our friend, and all Your close ones from ALL of our totallympics community, I guess!

Nicola Sturgeon resigned as the First Minister of Scotland. Any clues what's going on? Is SNP in deep #### now? :coffee: @Grassmarket

There are a couple of theories. Officially, it’s because she made a complete mess of a Gender Reform Bill which, as literally everyone with common sense foresaw, ended with a newly convicted rapist being put in a Women’s Prison just a few weeks after the Bill passed.  
 

Unofficially…..there are persistent rumours about a large sum of money which mysteriously disappeared from SNP Party accounts a few years ago.

Lucky lady ! she got Nela Lopušanová stick and jersey for free (In a couple of years it will cost thousands of Euro and who knows maybe even more) :d

 

Nela even was asked by our president to show some skills. so she tried something in this video :d

Another tragedy with migrants today here... Two days ago 52 migrants (all young men from Afghanistan of course) jumped the border fence with Turkey with a common ladder. Skipping the part, where this group hadn't been spotted from authorities and/or regular people, until they were found in an abandoned truck in the woods, all the way nearly to Sofia.

 

All 52 people were stacked in secret compartments at the bottom of the truck, under the load of timber. Those compartments weren't fully compact though and the fumes from the truck were going in. End result is 18 dead migrants, while the other 34 are transported to the hospital. It's assumed, that the traffickers were getting 2500 euros per person, just to transport them inside Bulgaria, which makes 130 000 euros from this run alone. And then people wonder why traffickers are only increasing. I am sure the EU politicians will be very "saddened and concerned", even though this tragedy (and all such prior ones) should be on their conscious.

I need to be at work tomorrow. But some of my colleagues/friends will be there in Warsaw to observe Biden's speech.

Not much expectations though. But hopefully we'll be surprised.

 

Anyway, after today - we think he'll be running for a 2nd term, if he's healthy.

Biden is an old, senile fool whose master plan "peace for land" backfired massively so now he has to drag his 80-year old body to Europe and actually convince everyone in Ukraine & Poland he & NATO want Ukraine to win the damn war. Buckle up for this clown show...

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
