Politicians & police in Poland are scared of the ultras starting riots in the stands. Nobody will stop a football match over breaking social distancing rules here

Danish Nascar Oh well, The Danish omnium championships coming up (well, if the weather allows)

Woohoo, am officially, legally going to , next week - with a brief transit via . Hope they haven’t drunk all the Westvleteren 12°…

He is focusing on the snort..... i meant sport, sorry still think that taking cocaine as an athlete is a mind *blowing* decision

Alrighty, I went ahead and created a watch group on Discord. Here’s the invite: https://discord.gg/mWkeM5c Myself and @Vojthas are going to watch the Marble League live tomorrow if anyone wants to join (maybe @bmo @Grassmarket @Fly_like_a_don)

finally we have a decision... and as expected, Cortina will host their World Champs in 2021, as originally scheduled... https://www.fis-ski.com/en/international-ski-federation/news-multimedia/news/fis-alpine-world-ski-championships-2021-in-cortina-confirmed

So basically we can already give the title to Mercedes and cancel the season?

Sure, since now I'll change to steel.

British weather has not changed much. Shame they had to abandon the tug-of-war as an event, but people kept getting their arms torn off.

UWW wants to have World Senior Championship this year , 12-20 December, in Belgrade, Serbia. https://unitedworldwrestling.org/article/executive-board-develops-plan-remaining-2020-events but only if this is funny, 2019 WCh was the Olympic Qualifier, we always have more countries for the Olympic Qualifiers, even without COVID-19 it was possible to see less than 70% teams comparing to 2019 Worlds !

That still 5 more than in the whole Slovakia

No it isn't blocked.. It worked this time

Since it's America he can win that lawsuit IMO. Not a laughing matter at all. California court ruled OJ Simpson innocent so anything can happen.

Just like it should be. Amen to that

Why only till 2036? Maybe he wants to retire just after hosting the Olympics for a last time?

It's plural for a reason.

A sport where cocaine is only going to help you hit the ball over the roof of the stadium & into the street.

Sidney Cross, 94 - Athletics Jozef Grzesiak, 79 - Boxing (1×B) Karoly Wieland, 86 - Canoeing (1×B) The total number of former Olympians who passed away in June was 40, just short of this year's high of 42 seen in April. This included six Olympic champions with the sport of water polo hit particularly hard. Two triple gold medallists from Hungary Gyorgy Karpati and Tibor Benedek died within a day of each other. They were from two different generations but both contributed hugely to their country's domination of this sport since the 1930s. Aleksandr Kabanov of the former Soviet Union had an equally distinguished career in the sport winning two gold medals as a competitor before coaching Russia to consecutive titles in Sydney and Athens. In a sad month for Hungary they lost a third Olympic champion with the death of fencer Istvan Kausz who won a gold in the team epee in Tokyo in 1964. Pete Rademacher of the USA was the Olympic heavyweight boxing champion in Melbourne in 1956. Finally, at Munich in 1972 John Cuneo of Australia won a gold medal in sailing's three man Dragon class. Noel Vandernotte of France was one of the few remaining pre-WW11 Olympians at the time of his death. As a 12 year old he coxed both the pair and the four to bronze medals at the 1936 rowing regatta. Marlene Ahrens won a silver medal in the javelin in Melbourne in 1956 and remains the only Chilean woman to win an Olympic medal. Pieter van der Kruk of the Netherlands was a national champion in both weightlifting and shot putting. In an unusual occurrence he qualified for the 1968 Olympics in both sports but ultimately decided that he would concentrate on weightlifting. Lastly it it is particularly sad to note the death of Bobana Velickovic of Serbia who becomes the fourth competitor from Rio to leave us this year.

new day, new disaster ! pretty normal these days ! still not much information, we just know that's a clinic. (not a hospital with lots of patients ) and probably gas explosion. still no report on causalities they are fighting to stop the fire right now. btw that street is where I used to go to college.
