A Totallympics user having met more than one other user in real life wouldn't be a first, actually  

 

I know there's at least one user here who has even met 3 other users

Same here, I have a 10 year lasting IRL friendship with one user from here that doesn't visit the forum anymore

 

The story on how we met was wild

Nearly 11 years ago I was participating in X Factor and they do these video intros before every live show performance, to show how you were preparing, asking questions etc. Somehow, one week it came down to hobbies & I mentioned that I really liked sports and the interviewer asked if I liked basketball and I said nah, my favourite sport is actually biathlon and it went on live TV  

 

Low and behold, a few days later after the live I get contacted by a guy from the biathlon federation to do an interview for them and we met up somewhere in the city center, I got interviewed, we talked about biathlon (this was the very first time I met a moving, living person that enjoyed biathlon then). So we kinda kept talking a bit from time to time after that interview about sports and since I knew his name, I found the courage to ask if he was the same Robertas from the forum annnnnnd coincidence - he was :DDDDDDD

 

Nowadays, we talk about sports nearly every day, he is still working as a media liaison for our biathlon federation and is working at COSMA (our best athletics club) too, after having worked for the athletics federation as a liaison for many years too. So I'm still getting a lot of insider tea to this day from him  

 

I wouldn't be too surprised if @heywoodu has seen him too at some biathlon event

Awesome story  

 

I doubt I'll have met him, I've only ever been to IBU Cups (Obertilliach x2, Arber x2, Martell, Lenzerheide), there aren't a ton of people there to start talking to suddenly  (other than some athletes @brunamoura interacted with)

I reallt dont know about nobody who visit Suriname, the 80% of the people live in the coast, in a few days, you can visit all the important places of that country.
