Today we will visit another interesting place, it's..... Elbląg Canal Elbląg Canal is a canal in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, 80.5 kilometres in length, which runs southward from Lake Drużno (connected by the river Elbląg to the Vistula Lagoon), to the river Drwęca and lake Jeziorak. It can accommodate small vessels up to 50 tonnes (49 long tons; 55 short tons) displacement. The difference in water levels approaches 100 metres, and is overcome using locks and a system of inclined planes between lakes. Today it is used mainly for recreational purposes. It is considered one of the most significant monuments related to the history of technology and was named one of the Seven Wonders of Poland. The canal was also named one of Poland's official national Monuments of History, as designated January 28, 2011. Its listing is maintained by the National Heritage Board of Poland. The canal was designed between 1825 and 1844 by Georg Steenke, carrying out the commission given by the King of Prussia. Construction began in 1844. The difference in height over a 9.5-kilometre section of the route between the lakes was too great for building traditional locks; an ingenious system of inclined planes based on those used on the Morris Canal was employed instead, though the canal includes a few locks as well. There were originally four inclined planes, with a fifth added later, replacing five wooden locks. Built under the name Oberländischer Kanal (Upland Canal) and situated in the Kingdom of Prussia, it was opened on the 29 October 1860. Since 1945 the canal is now in Poland. After wartime damage was repaired, it was restored to operation in 1948 and is now used for tourism. The canal underwent renovation between 2011 and 2015 and is now again open to navigation.

Yesterday I had idea if it's possible to move diving and artistic swimming qualifications to Budapest, in the same time when European Aquatics Championships will take place, but I doubt that it will happen...

Then good, but with this form she probably will not qualify to Olympics, "disappointed but not surprised"

Thanks God Maliszewska qualified to final, but Oktawia Nowacka failed once again, her Tokyo dream is probably over...

Today we will not visit either church, museum nor palace/castle but something different, maybe bit random, but still worth to see, the place is... Janów Podlaski Horse Stud Janów Podlaski Horse Stud - the oldest state-owned Arabian horse stud in the small village of Wygoda near Janów Podlaski, existing since 1817. The stud specializes in breeding Arabian and Anglo-Arabian horses. Annual horse auctions take place there, attracting breeders and exhibitors from Poland and abroad. The seat of the stud is in Wygoda near Janów Podlaski, in a complex of classicist stables founded in 1817. It covers an area of 2,500 ha, which is approximately 18% of the area of Janów Podlaski municipality. The history of the stud goes back to the Napoleonic Wars, as a result of which the number of horses in Poland dropped sharply. The horses were too valuable to the army and the economy to be overlooked by the rulers of the time. In order to regain the slowly lost position of horse power, at the request of the Administrative Council of the Kingdom of Poland, a government herd of horses was established in 1817 by a decree of Emperor Alexander I, which became the foundation of the later stud. The decision to locate the state herd there was determined by the existence of a large Wygoda farm near Janów and a large post-Austrian stud. The organizer and the first manager of the Janów stud in 1816–1826 was veterinarian Jan Ritz. He created the actual foundations for future breeding - by obtaining, with the permission of Alexander I, breeding material from imperial studs and by purchasing it from private Russian and English breeders. In December 1817 he imported 54 stallions (25 English, 9 Arab, 4 Danish, 2 Mecklenburg, 2 Caucasian and 1 Italian), 100 mares and 33 foals. In the 30s-40s In the nineteenth century, the Janów stud became a serious hypological center in the central parts of Poland. Thanks to the help of a horse lover, Iwan Paskiewicz, the Russian governor of the Kingdom of Poland, the Janów stud was going through a golden period. In 1841, according to the plans of the architect Henryk Marconi, the first brick stable, "Czołowa", was erected, and in 1848, the second "Clock" with a neo-Gothic tower was built, for which a clock was bought at that time for a huge sum of 363 rubles (2400 Polish złoty's at that time). In addition to the government herd of horses, there was also a veterinary school and a practical school of equestrianism and dressage (from 1824). The herd management owned, inter alia, cups and medals as well as other decorations of horses bought in Europe (like silver cups of the famous mare Armida, heroine of the track in the Kingdom of Poland, multiple winner in races held in Warsaw, numerous horse paintings, a hippology library with a number of Polish and German magazines). During this period, the stud was managed by Filip Eberhardt as a government herd supervisor until the end of the 1870s. From July 1861, the titular function of the herd director was performed by the actual councilor of state, equestrian at the imperial court, Janusz Rostworowski (1811-1891). In 1885, Aleksander Nierodka, was built to build a brick stable called "Woroncewa" with 85 boxes. He also bought a number of valuable horses in Western Europe, including English and Arab thoroughbreds. It was then that the first Arabians appeared in Janów. In 1887, the count designated one racing stable for racing horses. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, Janów Podlaski was the most important center for breeding and hippology knowledge in the western part of the Russian Empire. At the beginning of the 20th century, Janów preserved the characteristic Janów horse, as it is described in the professional literature - "with a correct, strong build and a firm and resistant constitution". Two own lines of female families were also educated. All these achievements were ruined by the First World War. In February 1915, the herd was taken to the East and almost all of them died there. The idea of recreating the stud in Janów from scratch was taken after 1918 by a group of Polish enthusiasts and hippologists. In April 1919, pure Arabian mares were brought to the empty and destroyed Janów stables. Already in the 1920s, horses were bought by foreign studs (e.g. Czech and German). In 1924 the Janów stud began to specialize in breeding pure Arabian horses. The heyday of the stud took place at the end of the 1950s, when a man associated with the stud from December 1939, Andrzej Krzyształowicz, became the director. He was responsible for taking care of the horses exported by the Germans, and he also arranged for the organization of the first Arabian horse auction in the fall of 1969. Since then, nearly 1,000 Arabs have been sold abroad, providing the country with many foreign currencies.

Next place which we will visit at our journey around Poland is... Rogalin Palace Rogalin Palace - a historic palace in the village of Rogalin in the Greater Poland Voivodeship. Branch of the National Museum in Poznań. From 2018, the palace and park complex has the status of a historical monument. The palace in Rogalin was built in the years 1770-1776 by Kazimierz Raczyński, who was the writer of the Crown, and then the general starost of Wielkopolska and the royal court marshal. On his initiative, a late baroque palace complex in the entre cour et jardin type (between the courtyard and the garden) was created, which has survived to this day in its original shape. The author of the project was probably an artist from the circle of Saxon architects active in Warsaw at that time. During the construction works, Kazimierz Raczyński commissioned Dominik Merlini and Jan Chrystian Kamzetzer to implement a partially classicist facade and interior design (hall and parade stairs). Behind the palace there is a French garden with a mound that closes it, from which there used to be a view towards the Warta River. In the years 1817-1820, Kazimierz's grandson, Edward Raczyński erected a church-mausoleum dedicated to St. Marcellinus, modeled on the Roman maison carree temple in Nimes, France, and extended the establishment to a landscape park. In the palace, he rebuilt the ballroom into a neo-Gothic armory to celebrate the former military achievements of Poles. In the second half of the 19th century, the present form of the courtyard was created, with a lawn and chestnut alleys. At the end of the 19th century, Edward Aleksander Raczyński and his wife Róża née Potocki renovated the palace, transforming the former baroque dining room into a neo-baroque library designed by Zygmunt Hendel. In 1910, the gallery building was erected, in which a collection of European and Polish paintings of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries was available to the public, considered before the Second World War as the best collection of contemporary painting in Poland. After World War II, the palace was taken over by the communist authorities and in 1949 it became a branch of the National Museum in Poznań. Edward Bernard Raczyński established in 1990 the Raczyński in Poznań and handed over to her the palace and park in Rogalin, the Rogalin Gallery at the National Museum, of which he remained the actual owner, and his rights to the land property surrounding the palace and the Rogalin park. The palace and park in Rogalin remained in the hands of the National Museum in Poznań.

I wonder how all their quotas will be reallocated.

I believe that Turkmenistan and several small Pacific nations will miss this too.

Thank you for good analys Yes, Michalski will compete here, in 109kg, Zwarycz is here as well. I'm hoping for those two quotas, it would be enough number considering fact that we don't have good juniors + doping problems before covid.

I'm now asking the same question like Dragon, how many Polish athletes have chances to qualify, 1 or 2 or more? Łochowska already lost her decent place by not defending the title and being just 7th...

I will be there of course

I'm picking as always and as second country.

End of the voting! The deadline, of sending the votes has now officialy passed and succesfully all 37 nations have submitted their votes, which means that we luckily have avoid disqualfications on both stages. After all troubles, I want say thank you to everyone who will participate at this edition of TAISC and will visit Poland. Now it's time for host nation to prepare everything carefully related with Voting Order Draw and Team Allocation Draw which is scheduled for Friday, April 9th at 19:00 CET (GMT+2) and later for Opening Ceremony and for Grand Final for which everyone are waiting for. Organizing committee will continue presenting next Monuments of History around whole country and other interesting places in following days. Right now we also opened the window of Festival of Music where everyone can presented songs from non-pariticipating countries at the TAISC 2021. You can start pick the two nations right now. Rules about selecting the songs for festival are the same like for the contest, which means that selected song have to be released after January 1st 2020. Let's the Festival of Music begins!

The second and last dish from Easter table which I selected is... Sałatka jarzynowa Sałatka jarzynowa or sałatka warzywna (vegetable salad) is always vegetarian salad, consisting of peas, hard boiled eggs, and the mirepoix, always cut into small cubes, seasoned with mayonnaise, salt, pepper. Recipes usually vary by region (tart apples or pickles can be added) and even by household, sometimes even adding meat (for example ham). One such notable exception is "szałot", a Silesian variety which may include not only boiled potatoes, carrots, peas and boiled eggs, but also bacon, sausages or pickled herring. Personally at this Easter I was eating sałatka jarzynowa with parsley, corn, eggs, sausage from żurek, leek, cucumbers and mayonnaise
