Bit off-topic, but that looks super impressive! Is it a purely commercial project, or is it the official center of the Slovakian NOC (like 'Papendal' in the Netherlands which is a similar center, although a bit smaller and older by now)?

Commercial Project, but from 2016 with NOC partnership became also the official Slovak Olympic Training Center.

 

Now it is open for everyone, Proffesional athletes or just tourists, families to enjoy the leisure park, holidys, athletes from all over the world can train there and have training camps. Last week a Special Judo bubble camp for many Olympians was organized there, now there already some other sports athletes preparing there

 

The website in English https://www.x-bionicsphere.com/en/

 

and btw this year The resort will be one of the 11 cities around the globe (together with Amsterdam) the place for the Olympic festival during the Olympic Games. Entrance for free, people can stay there watch live the Olympics on big screens have fun, watch concerts of our famous music bands and artists, try many sports themselves and play many other fun games or grab a autograph here and there from famous athletes and our Olympians who will return from the games there

 

This year the get the official permission from IOC to organize this during the games, to use the Olympic symbols etc... and show the Tokyo events on their big screens.

 

It will start right with the Opening ceremony at 13:00 the 24th and end the 8th August. Website with informations and schedule in slovakhttps://www.olympic.sk/festival

Thanks for the info!

Yeah we've got an Olympic festival here as well. On the beach in The Hague actually, not Amsterdam as far as I know. I was just thinking about going there during the Games actually.

 

Apologies for the spam in the Diamond League thread!

Dobek 6th place, he will not gain the medal at Tokyo. 

It will be superhard for him to get a medal, but let's keep the faith!!! If he gets to the final, everything is possible. 

The same with Lewandowski in 1500m.

[Monzanator 4,531]

Lewandowski will have a bigger chance due to lack of pacemakers so strong finish will decide all regardless of time.

 

Gateshead meeting on Tuesday. Natalia Kaczmarek will be the only athlete present.

[Cinnamon Bun 896]

Great battle between Giles and Heyward in the mile, Giles winning by 1 hundredth.
