  1. @heywooduPolish is actually the language with the biggest usage of letter "Z" in the world (mainly thanks to our fancy digraphs "cz", "sz" and "rz" ). "Z" also means "with" or "from" so it's a common preposition too. Second most popular language using "z" is probably Hungarian.
  2. I come from Silesia. The language/dialect is full of German traces but it's not fully German per se.
  3. 2024 NFL Draft happened last night. Top 14 picks are all offensive players which is the most before a defensive player was taken in draft history. The biggest surprise is Falcons taking QB Michael Penix, Jr AFTER they just gave Kirk Cousins a 100 million deal in free agency (albeit he's 36yo coming off a torn Achilles).
  4. Eva Puskarcikova gave birth to a son (father is Thomas Bormolini).
  5. Yukio Kasaya - 1972 Olympic Champion in ski jumping passed away at the age of 80.
  6. Jazmin Sawyers is out for the season with a ruptured Achilles tendon on the take-off leg.
  7. Si Jiahui beat Mark Williams 10-9 in another upset. Judd Trump has the easiest path to SF now since it's R2 vs Tom Ford and then Si or Jak Jones in QF.
  8. Knicks lead 2-0 vs Sixers. Meanwhile Nuggets still own the Lakers
  9. Elena Rybakina won Stuttgart 500 over Marta Kostyuk in the final but she can't drive the Porsche because she doesn't have a driving license
  10. Luca Brecel blew a 9-6 lead vs David Gilbert and lost 9-10 in the first round. Crucible curse struck very quickly this year Neil Robertson didn't even make it from the qualifying.
  11. Katzberg is 9th on the all-time list now. Second among non or (obviously behind Murofushi).
  12. Stumbled on this browsing NFL content but Terry Pegula is selling the Sabres?
  13. I checked back and yeah, this was some national Grand Prix meeting not a junior event so Yan achieved that mark with a standard javelin.
  14. Well, obviously the juniors are using lighter equipment in throwing events so her true ceiling is still somewhat a mystery.
  15. Meanwhile in Hangzhou a 15yo Yan Ziyi has set U-20 WR in javelin (64.28)
  16. The late 90s/early 00s powerhouse Unia Oświęcim wins their first domestic title since 2004 after defeating two-time defending champions GKS Katowice in Game 7 of the Finals (1:0 with the only goal in overtime by Mark Kaleinikovas).
  17. Yeah, it will be very hard to achieve this result in any modern stadium where the grandstand seats or the roof make the wind less effective in throwing events to say the very least. And nobody builds a stadium with one end completely open anymore either.
  18. Yeah, the lack of actual grand stands makes this "stadium" look quite unique. I wonder if it suddenly becomes the new go-to-place for throwers
  19. No real surprise. Attacking the Iranian embassy in Syria was a meaningless act so response should be obvious but Netanyahu relies on the radicals support so he will obey to anything internally to hold onto the power. The 50 year old vendetta for the death of his brother continues
  20. Yes, tomorrow at 11:00 am CET. She is out of the Top 12 in rankings though (currently 16th) so she'd need to improve by minimum 5-6 kg to have a chance.
  21. It seems like will be absent from OG in weightlifting for the first time since 1948 A historical collapse of the sport which is still third in our medal table haul (only behind athletics and boxing).
  22. Yeah, you can always count on frequent name changes because of sponsorship. It sadly happens in the Polish volleyball too. It's like one sport where club names doesn't seem to mean much even to fans who don't really oppose these changes. Anyway, the pink shirts are gone. I don't remember if that was a designated team color or just for sponsorship reasons
  23. Ajax Amsterdam lost to Feyenoord Rotterdam 0-6 Probably the biggest defeat for Ajax in De Klassieker?
  24. VBC Casalmaggiore has been dissolved. Italy surely has the greatest number of clubs that cease to exist even when they are seemingly successful
  25. Shane Bieber is set for TJ surgery and Spencer Strider could follow suit. The rash of pitcher's arm injuries seems to be going up at fast rate so I wonder how long until mainstream media begin to realize there is some connection between this and the push for velocity numbers OR even the pitch clock being introduced last year. Something is definitely going on since I believe those injuries will only increase.
