Angela Merkel's living legacy. What a pathetic joke she truly was.

I'm not so sure about it. Of course NATO can send some troops to Baltic states but might concede this a lost battle for the sake of economical safety & pressure from global banks (as it always is). The best thing for Poland is that Putin will undoubtedly go after Baltic states first since there are enough ethnic Russians living there he can sell the old crap of "peace-keeping the Russian-speaking minority". That excuse will never fly with Poland. Western Belarus is no longer within Polish borders like it was in 1939.

Yeah, Germany & Italy block Russia's removal from SWIFT. This is truly pathetic. Let's cut the sanctions nonsense because it will do nothing. Maybe if Russian rockets land in Brussels something will change? EU has clearly thrown Ukraine under the bus and God knows what NATO does when Russia invades the Baltic states. You know it will be Putin's next target. And Poland right after that.

@Olympian1010However the sponsorship deal between Schalke & Gazprom remains in place so it's business as usual.

Polish/Ukrainian border crossing in Medyka:

Zelensky confirms Russia has taken control of the Kiev airport. The writing is on the wall.

Russian forces have captured an airport 20 kms from Kiev. This could unravel very fast indeed. Obviously this was possible since the attack came from Belarus territory.

Whoa! You obviously have no idea what's going on in Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia not to mention Ukraine.

Of course it would have happened. Just for the simple fact they were independent after WWI and avoided the initial bolshevik surge after the October Revolution. Russia hates the Baltic states independence equally as bad as they hate Ukraine.

Apparently FIFA will announce a decision on what happens with the Russia vs Poland playoff match scheduled for March 25th later today. Our former FA boss Zbigniew Boniek said yesterday that Moscow is the safest place to play this match like planned but he might keep his mouth shut today.

EU played this card for years telling everyone that Russia can't afford to start a war with Ukraine because their economy will suffer. I guess it's pretty obvious that this narrative was completely false and Europe being dependant on Russian gas has far more to lose than Russia. Enough with this nonsense. It's obvious Putin has prepared for any santions EU can come up with. The War in Donbas lasted 8 years and EU decided to look away and pretend nothing happened. Former German, Italian, French and Austrian politicians are enrolled in Russian gas & oil companies and you want to tell me their economy will suffer?

First JWC gold for since 2003?

Yes, her name is Xenia and she was born October 1st, 2016 so she's only 5 yo now.

Sivert Bjoerndalen is Dag's son indeed. Ole Einar has posted several vids of his nephew Sivert on FB few years ago.

That is correct. She is their younger sister

Yeah, this looks like some old bus there

Good break for Polish viewers as Polsat Sport News will show the races live.

It's not dead. The pipe has been build. It will go into operation sooner or later. Your former Chancellor Gerhard Schroder will make sure of that.

7 F is -13 Celsius for Europeans. Quite tough weather for the juniors

Yeah, I guess we should all laugh & giggle over a war in Ukraine? Excuse me for NOT laughing

Same trick Russia pulled in 2008 when they recognized Abkhazia & Northern Osetia. Did any of the 'democratic' countries do anything about that? Nope. Nobody will do anything about Donetsk & Lugansk either. I mean War In Donbass goes on for eight years and most Western democracies would like everyone to forget about that one. But the evil Putin just won't let it go! How rude! He'll come after the Baltic countries in 5-6 years time. Modern day appeasement suits him just fine. Germany will do everything not to help Ukraine and protect their Nord Stream 2 investement

Malgorzata Holub-Kowalik (400m) is ruled out of the championships due to a foot injury.

Tennis is my default sport so to speak so I follow WTA more than you realize She drew Sloane Stephens in R1, arguably the hardest player any of the qualifiers could get but maybe this is for the best as she will find out how far away she is from a regular WTA player at this stage. She had a relatively easy Q draw (nothing is easy for a 14yo in her first WTA tournament but past-prime Errani away from clay & Kung who won 5 matches since the start of 2021 are as good as it gets) and we'll hear about the sisters for years to come since Czech Republic does have a good record of setting up established players on the WTA scene for years.
