Wish I could participate in the climate strike today. I have midterms though... (currently in one). 

 

Good that you're at least making exams instead of striking. I read that in Belgium children of certain schools are obligated to go to a climate march, which I think is not good at all...give them the choice if it's for one day, fine, but obligating it? No way.

Right, people shouldn’t be forced into a protest. The point of the protest is to show solidarity and the amount of people who actually care about climate change.

1 hour ago started the presidential elections.

 

4.450.000 peoples are alowed to vote in their respective 5940 Elections districts, which are open from 07:00 to 22:00 today (yes in freaking Slovakia we votes only during the weekend, because yes, you know during work days, you work...), for the first round, if no candidate succeed to gain absolute majority, there will be a 2nd round between the top 2 ranked of this opening round in 2 weeks the 30th March.

 

13 candidates are competing for the 5th ever Slovak presidents spot (3rd time by popular voting)

 

Favorites (Hopefully) Zuzana Čaputová, Liberal, environmental cases lawyer and activist.  if win will became the first ever female president of Slovakia

Halfway in the elections, right now...Enormous attendance and interest are the main surprises of this ballot so far. Experts saying they are expecting the biggest voting attendance in many many years.

 

Really uncommon in a country where for example in the European elections the participation was around 16 % and generally the peoples elections interest is traditionally one of the if not the lowest in Europe.

 

Some pics from the elections so far :p

    • It's true, but Colturi still only 1 person and for example in the men's slalom we have tragic results. In giant slalom again we last won many years ago. For example, Switzerland has a complete team, which has not only stars but also wide teams in every discipline + young successors.   Scattolo is an option after 2026. For now, all that remains is to count on Vittozzi's return - apart from her, no one is able to regularly stand on the podium.
    • That was the IBU Cup winner spot, guaranteed for the first two weeks (won by Michelon last year). Galmace Paulin will definitely not get a spot in January. If someone has to be demoted, it would be Chauveau, to make room for Botet. Galmace Paulin is like 5th or 6th in the pecking order at the moment.
    • Maybe Galmace Paulin can take The Spot of Richard, Michelon or Chauveau later this season. In Hochfilzen France Had 7 Spots, not sure What happened. If The french Team can get Back that Spot, then Galmace Paulin should be The First candidate.   Tannheimer, Michelon, Richard, Kirkeeide and Andersson are all more likely than Not To make The Podium this Season in my opinion. With a bit of luck, half The Top 10 in The Overall Ranking at The end of The Season could be athletes born in 2002 or later.
    • Biathlon: I think your Coaches should promote Scattolo.  Alpine skiing: Things Would Look very different if Colturi would Compete for You.  
    • It also appears 1 noc has withdrawn   https://oca.asia/news/5781-harbin-2025-awg-organisers-confirm-record-number-of-entries.html
    • If my figures are correct, I confirm that this is the international debut in top-level competition for Turkmenistan, Kuwait and Thailand. i believe it is also the debut in a senior competition for Mongolia
    • The Youth Olympic Games have used the group format before due to a large number of entries. The 2023 Winter EYOF also used a two group format in the mixed team event.   Still, it's cool to see so many nations registered for the Asian Winter Games. 
    • Stage 10 in Alta Badia (ITA)   Men´s Slalom:   1. Timon Haugan    1:45.40 2. Loic Meillard    1:46.53 3. Atle Lie McGrath    1:46.66   Full Final Results HERE

    • Curling will have 14 participating nations, with the men's and mixed doubles events have a group stage (surely a first for an international MSE event? @Olympian1010?)   Mixed doubles   Group A:   I believe this is Turkmenistan's (and possibly Thailand and Kuwait) international curling debut.   Group B:   Women's:   Men's:   Group A:   Group B:
