It goes to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado!

Nominated by Florida's governor Rick Scott, the first decent thing he seems to have done so far.

Scott is currently U.S. Senator, was Governor until 2019.

 

Sorry, I didn't see your subsequent post.

Next Wednesday we have parliamentary elections here, again :p Not sure yet who I am going to vote for, although some parties are quite easily crossed out for me, so only a few realistic options are left. If I am not mistaken, @Gianlu33 might be happy to know my frontrunner so far is Volt :p

I couldn't be happier :p Whatever you vote for, it is still a beautiful gesture of democracy, which cannot be taken for granted in our world! Although I fear a new government full of Sinterklaas...

      Likely Del Bosco. If you take into account all the freestyle disciplines, there are definitely 16 men that have a better chance at winning a medal than he does.

      Very likely not. German women had 6 quota places to begin with, so the additional one would be the 7th. Only Dürr, Aicher and Weidle fulfilled our national standards. I guess they will nominate a 4th one for the team combination. But even using the 5th and 6th quota place would be a surprise. If they do, it will be for the team. Not to mention the 7th.   They will, however, for sure use the 4th male quota place and probably the 5th as well, if we should get it.

      Sweden Will most likely not send more than one man, maybe not even that.

      Because of Del Bosco or Wallasch? I know that Del Bosco got only 5 WC points this season. But he is probably the oldest one so may make the last Games in his career. Wallasch made 18 points this season .....
