  1. will try to qualify for 2022 Olympics in this sport. @dcro He is fundraising here. "Hello! My name is Amadou Krubally. I'm dreaming of my country The Gambia to compete for the first time at the Winter Olympic Games 2022 in Beijing. I decided to do Skeleton, which means throwing myself down an ice channel on a small board, head-first. I founded IceGambia, a federation that let's me be a member of the official Bobsleigh&Skeleton organization. The only thing that is missing are the funds for this season. Please help support the crazy idea of a crazy guy doing a crazy sport just to see his country compete. With € 15000 I can do the whole season (Europe Cup/International Cup) and qualify for the Winter Olympic Games. Help me write history!"

  2. Brigid Kosgei just won the women's race at the Chicago Marathon in 2h14mins04secs, which is the new women's Marathon World Record (and this is a real record, not the farce of the sub-2 hours by Eliud Kipchoge yesterday in Vienna, made with laser guidance and 37 pace makers running only just over a kilometer each)...

    From what I read, she likes the Collepardo region and that's where she showed off her success in the Réveille-toi 9a project. Most of the most serious lines in Collepardo are signed with the Italian name. Among the more interesting ones are, among others, such proposals as: Tomorrowland extension 8c +, La Gasparata 8c + / 9a and Sitting Bull 8c + / 9a. Of course, Rogora also has achievements in other areas. She made her first 9a in Sperlonga, Grandi Gesti fell there three years ago. A year later she brought 9a Joe-cita from Oliana. Earlier this year, she defeated Esclatamàsters 9a in the Perles area. I don't know if she finally managed to get Esclatamàsters 9a?

  7. This is the first time since 1993 that neither China or Japan managed to win a gold medal. Very surprising so close to Tokyo.

    @TomJa I'll relieve @Olympian1010 from his promise and do it myself So : - Beach Handball - our girls won with 2:0 (15:12, 19:12) and 2:0 (22:20, 21:13), lost with 1:2 (21:20, 16:22, 4:7), 1:2 (7:16, 16:12) and 1:2 (21:20, 14:18). They took 4th place in group B and today will play in quarterfinal with winners of group A - (didn't lose a single period yet) - Beach Volleyball 4x4 - our guys won with 2:0 (21, 22) and 2:0 (19, 13), lost with 0:2 (21, 15). They took second place in group B and in todays quarterfinal will play with third team of group A - - Open Water Swimming - our only swimmer Krzysztof Pielowski was 6th in 5 km. To the winner ( Guidi) he lost 8 seconds, to the medal 5 seconds. - Aquathlon - Alicja Ulatowska was 7th in women's race. She lost 1:26 to the winner ( Tous) and 0:47 to the medal. Kamil Damentka was 15th in men's competition. He lost 1:45 to the winner ( Vinuela) and 1:24 to the medal. - Kitefoil - Julia Damasiewicz was second in first women's race and Magdalena Wojciechowska was 5th. In men's race Maksymilian Zakowski was 12th. Today our athletes play in quarterfinals in handball and volleyball and start in next kitefoil races (there are planned seven of them for each gender but I don't know if it's possible - some of them are rescheduled from yesterday).

  9. Because he’s an Irish citizen I won’t be getting into the politics of Northern Ireland but people from NI are free to represent either Ireland or Britain. The majority of athletes in the majority of sports from NI represent Ireland Many of the sporting federations cover both sides of the border. Irish Boxing, for example, has had multiple medalists from Belfast. Football (soccer) is the only sport that isn’t run on all-island basis

  10. In Minecraft you will at least learn something, and in Fortnite you will probably only learn the prices of new keyboards or monitors. The fact that Fortnine's only plus is memes.

  13. The Polish elections happened today. First exit poll: PIS - 43.6 % KO - 27.4 % LEFT - 11.9% KP - 9.6% KON - 6.4% Margin of error: 2% This is going to be a really interesting night. PIS would only have absolute majority if they got at least 43 %. Currently, they have only 0,6% more than that, which, if we take the 2% margin of error under account means that they may have celebrated too early. Furthermore, basically noone expected Konfederacja to make it, which means that any increase of support for this party means the other ones (primarily PIS) lose seats. At the other hand, the centre party KO (Civic Platform+Modern+Greens+ basically anything you imagine) is clearly the party that failed. They had more than 32 % in previous election, but they failed their campaign miserably. Who knows what might have hapened had Wałęsa restrained himself from insulting the Prime Minister's Morawiecki late father only one day after he passed away. Noone likes Schetyna either, so it's no secret him stepping down would have benefited the party, unfortunately his ego once again overtook him The Left is a big winner. They did not make it to the parlament in 2015, but now they have almost 12% of support, which is really good result if you consider that one of it's leaders is openly homosexual (which was unthinkable in public a few years ago). They attracted mostly the votes of young people who were tired of constant PO vs PIS battles, and they touched some taboo issues, like abortion or LGBT rights. KP,or the Polish Coalition (PSL+Kukiz) is our agrar party, so they mostly got votes from villages and small towns. Still, they are possibly the biggest winners of these elections, the PSL only achieved 5.1% in 2015, barely passing the electoral threshold, and Kukiz 15 has been considered by many as a dead party. They are centre to centre-right in their views. Konfederacja is the only openly far-right party, and it's a historical success for them. Their leader is Janusz Korwin-Mikke ( you may have heard of him when he performed the nazi salute in EU parliament) and they have some controversial connections and politicians (Robert Winnicki once declared he would not be insulted if he was called a fascist). Still, they are amongs the most popular parties for younger votes. They managed to present themselves as an alternative for PIS, and may very well be the force that causes the ruling party to lose the absolute majority it now holds. I will post an update if there are any late polls.

Shocking news, @Dunadan wins "only" silver this time Got beaten by one point, but nevertheless, congratulation on new silver medal @George_D is on a roll, I already lost count of his medals this season. Very good picking! Congrats on another bronze medal I would like to thank @thiago_simoes on his help in this contest preparation. Thank you all who participated!

  16. The Turkish military (or proxies) shelled a Kurdish civilian convey that was a full of foreign journalists. One journalist confirmed dead, multiple others feared dead, multiple others injured. France 2 was able to confirm their team had not been hit, but was very close to the strike. Also, the Syrian Army is mobilizing North after cutting a deal with YPG/SDF. It seems the YPG/SDF have joined the anti-American alliance in the Middle East, which has grown ten-fold since Trump took office. Turkey has also announced that they will take more territory than originally announced (shocked I tell you, shocked). German chancellor who personally asked Erdogan to stop the attack. Germany and Turkey have been at odds for years, so this will only further the hate between the two. NATO needs to mobilize against Turkey, like we did against Serbia. We can’t have little Russia’s running in around all over the place. Trump has put the US in its worst foreign policy positions since the Vietnam War. China is taking the Pacific, Russia and Saudi Arabia are taking the Middle East, losing our prominence in Western alliances. This isn’t good. I hope impeachment moves fast. Also, I feel so terribly for the Kurds. For my fellow journalists killed today reporting on the true horrors taking place: ???
