  1. Next big sport event and next pathetic and below expectations results from our athletes.... I can't with this anymore.
  2. The first team, which will be introduced to their base before next week Grand Final, which will take place in Kraków is... Baltic Cods The team consists of four countries Moldova Lithuania Croatia Slovenia There are at least two populations of cod in the Baltic Sea: One large population that spawns east of Bornholm and one population spawning west of Bornholm. Eastern Baltic cod is genetically distinct and adapted to the brackish environment. Adaptations include differences in hemoglobin type, osmoregulatory capacity, egg buoyancy, sperm swimming characteristics and spawning season. The adaptive responses to the environmental conditions in the Baltic Sea may contribute to an effective reproductive barrier, and thus, eastern Baltic cod can be viewed as an example of ongoing speciation. The western Baltic cod consists of one or several small subpopulations that are genetically more similar to the North Sea cod. In the Arkona basin (located off Cape Arkona, Rügen), spawning and migrating cod from both the eastern and western stocks intermingle in proportions that vary seasonally. The immigration of eastern cod into the western Baltic management unit may mask a poor state of the populations in the western management unit. Without further ado (because I believe that most of us know what cod is ) let's go to presented the town where "Baltic cods" will prepare to Grand Final. Selected town is Władysławowo. Władysławowo is a town located on the south coast of the Baltic Sea in Kashubia in the Eastern Pomerania region in northern part of country. This city is also commonly called "Summer Capital of Poland" since in every summer thousands of tourists arrive there for their vacations. The town have an extensive tourist infrastructure. One of the tourist attractions is the location by the open sea and the Puck Bay, as well as in the vicinity of the Coastal Landscape Park. The city has a seaport located on the open sea, part of which is the western breakwater which also functions as a tourist pier. Five seaside bathing areas have been organized here. In Władysławowo we can found the promenade named "Sport Stars Alley" with pavement stars with the names and surnames of famous Polish and three foreign sportsmen. Here you can check which athletes have their stars there... In Władysławowo there is the Olympic Preparation Center "Cetniewo". The resort has clay tennis courts and a court in the hall, a football fields, a swimming pool, it has a sports equipment rental. The center is well liked by Polish athletes, annualy in summer on the center is organized an athletics meeting, the center also saw Weightlifting European Championships in 2006. On May 30, 2012, the only "Ocean Park" in Poland was opened on Żwirowa Street in Władysławowo. The greatest attraction of Ocean Park is the reproduction of the 34-meter blue whale. There you can also see dozens of other marine and ocean mammals and fish, such as: sperm whale, whale shark, great white shark, giant squid and so on. All exhibits are life-size. One of the attractions is Dom Rybaka (Fisherman's House) - public building, built in the 1950s, originally erected for hotel purposes. Currently, it is the seat of the Władysławowo City Hall and other institutions. It is the architectural dominant of the city. Part of the building is an observation tower, which allows you to observe a fragment of the Gdańsk Coast. In connection with the plans to build a large fishing port and a fish processing center in Władysławowo in the 1950s, on the initiative of the Minister of Shipping Mieczysław Popiel, the construction of a large hotel for fishermen and sailors was started on the coastal slope. The process of erecting the building took place in the years 1953-1956, and it was put into use in June 1957. It had 150 hotel beds. Due to the person who initiated the construction, the building was originally called "Popielówka", and the tower dominating the building (ironically referring to the famous building in Kruszwica) was called "Popiel's Tower. It consists of a 4-story main body and a high, 8-story tower; both parts of the building are connected by an arcaded connector. There are two observation decks in the tower: one at 45m above sea level, the other at 63m above sea level. The tower houses a private Butterfly Museum with over 3,000 exhibits To finish presentation of the team and city I recommend you also to watching this video.
  3. Later today I will introduce first city/town of one of the teams.
  4. Thank you for great news Yes, the Armenian guy wasn't too focused on lifting 227kg when he knew that is winner already and happened what happened
  5. Damn it, with "help" from judges Michalski finished without medal despite lifted 226kg in CJ At least Kasabijew have a small silver medal. But still those championships are pathetic for us, without medals in total, just third time in history of European Champs.... Anyway I hope that Michalski's 396kg in total will be enough for Olympics, what do you think @MHSN?
  6. Yesterday, due to draw we didn't visit any place in Poland, but today we will catch up on by visiting... Kwidzyn Castle Kwidzyn Castle is a large brick gothic castle in the town of Kwidzyn. It is an example of Teutonic Knights' castles architecture. Since 2018 it's a Monument of History. Throughout history, the castle has been rebuilt many times, depending on various factors, it was expanded and partially dismantled. During its greatest development (between the 16th and 19th centuries), it was a four-winged, regular complex with an internal cloister courtyard. Regular four-sided towers, crowned with soaring hip roofs, were extended in the corners. The exception was the high (59 m) tower located in the south-eastern corner. In 1798, the castle was partially demolished by the Prussian authorities. As part of the work, the eastern wings (adjacent to the cathedral) and the representative southern wing (located on the side of the old town) were demolished, which included, among others, the bishop's refectory. Since then, the castle has lost its closed, regular form. The only room from the Middle Ages preserved in the castle is the so-called chapel / scriptorium, in which painted figures placed on the vaults of the northern span were discovered, which are uniform in style and can be dated to the last quarter of the 14th century. A characteristic element of the castle is the largest sanitary and defense tower in the Teutonic state - the dansker tower - located 55 meters from the west wing of the castle on the lowest terraces of the Vistula valley. Dansker is connected to the main body of the castle by the world's longest porch supported by five high arcades, several meters high. From the north there is a well tower connected by two arcades with the castle, commonly known as a small dansker tower.
