One hint: skin color

 

Ah yeah, equal votes between two potential flag beares, so as per the pre-established rules (!), a coin was tossed. He didn't win and so got angry and started about skin color. Too bad that thing happened, but still it didn't and doesn't make me like him less :cheer: 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

This was announced in December but technically it happens this year.

 

:DEN Caroline Wozniacki will retire after the Australian Open. She won this tournament two years ago and finally cracked the Grand Slam code that eluded her for years. Since she's ineligible for the Olympics, it was almost a no-brainer decision to anyone who follows tennis like myself.

Well, she is a big Liverpool fan, so plenty other reasons to be happy.

:POL Luiza Zlotkowska announced her retirement at the age of 33, exactly 10 years to the day of the Vancouver OG team pursuit bronze medal (which was a major shock).

 

She basically didn't compete internationally after the Pyeongchang OG anymore and works as TV expert.

Wow, I feel like I was still in school when I heard the name Zlotkowska last :yikes:
