    It's been a while since we had driver in F1. Gaston Mazzacane in 2001 IIRC. Obviously Sargeant was a sitting duck and the latest practice crash at Zandvoort which ruined all the new updates they brought in was the last straw.

    After leaving Juventus Wojciech Szczęsny has decided to retire from professional football. That's quite a shocking decision given he's "only" 34 years old.

    Maria Sakkari with another R1 loss in Grand Slam. This time she retired injured after the first set. I don't remember a Top 10 player losing so many R1 matches in Grand Slam tbh.

    Not really but the official Upper Silesia colors are blue & yellow so the blue elephant had to wear yellow pants

    25 year old McCartney Kessler - a former NCAA product - who only made Top 100 two weeks ago wins her first WTA title in Cleveland over Beatriz Haddad Maia. Kessler hasn't won a WTA tour match in her entire career before this week (one win at Australian Open which is ITF event). She also won Landisville 100k which earned her a MD wild card to US Open where she plays Marta Kostyuk in R1.

    Daria Pikulik said she will take a two year break from track cycling and *maybe* decides to return after that IF the situation in our cycling federation gets better (hint: it probably won't). She will focus on road racing going forward. https://infosport.pl/aktualnosci-2024-sport-zawodowy/kolarstwo/daria-pikulik-zrywa-z-kolarstwem-torowym-winny-zwiazek

    It's like the old joke about sports newspapers in Denmark. 9 pages about handball and 3 pages for everything else. A former football keeper once told that story in Polish press, they won some big game and he thought it would be on the first page but it wasn't because it was all handball

    Trude Dybendahl (cross country skiing) passed away at the age of 58.

    Ons Jabeur had the audacity to withdraw 2 hours after main draw was published

    They probably wanted to avoid Muslim outrage in a country where terrorist attacks are quite common compared to the mean

    I live 10 kms from Chorzów. I speak Silesian for 30+ years but it's a mixed dialect of Polish & German tbh. It's been declared a language for political purpose only. Funnily enough some years after the Silesian Autonomous Party has completely lost meaning in the voivodeship council. It was a much hotter topic in mid 00s to mid 10s

    Looks like had their big welcome party yesterday

    Must be the shortest silent ban in tennis history. Clostebol is the same thing Dorota Borowska got provisionally suspended for before the Olympics before it was revoked (so the massage cream for her dog).

    Silesia is obviously the region and the meeting is in Chorzów I presume that name Silesia is easier to pronounce so that's why they advert it like that.

    No dobra, przecież systemu nie zmienimy. Nasz sufit to będzie te 11-12 medali, a złota trafią się przy jakimś wyjątkowym talencie lub skorzystamy na niskiej konkurencji w jakieś dyscyplinie. Przecież w młocie całe lata korzystaliśmy na tym, że nawet w LA to jest dyscyplina ze stosunkowo małą wymiennością nazwisk. W poważne inwestycje w jedną medalodajną dyscyplinę nie wierzę.

    I guess not everyone uses the screen at default 100% width setting. I also use some websites at 80% or 90% width for better reading. I use TO in 100% and the sidebar isn't a major distraction for me (on my laptop, I don't use my phone for that).

    Sadly her biggest chance was in Rio where she should have went with the Dutch break but didn't react and stayed with Deignan which was a big mistake. Even 8 years ago it was clear Holland is the team to stick with in these kind of situations.

    Ridiculous populism sausage from PM Tusk. Can't take it seriously whatsoever

    Anastazja Kuś has been withdrawn from the Polish squad. Doing European U-18 and Olympics in space of four weeks was arguably enough according to the coaches.

    This is truly a wishful thinking of a thread. Like @Josh said, I'm glad none of you are IOC members

    Zhang Shuai using her PR to beat Vince Spadea's legendary losing streak record Zhang still has one or two PR left before she finally won't be allowed to even make 250 qualies on her current ranking. But she turns 36 in January so I expect her to retire once those PR finally end. She's only collecting GS and 1000 pay checks now.

    Węgry już całe dekady temu postawili na sport niszowy czyli kajakarstwo i koszą tam worek medali. Polska nie ma takiego luksusu. Co do Włoch, to akurat oni zdobywają medale w szerokim spektrum. Sporty drużynowe, szermierka, żeglarstwo, pływanie, lekka atletyka etc. A i tak w Paryżu wypadli poniżej oczekiwań w LA i szermierce właśnie.

    FIS created a wild card rule for this new skier Hirscher who won't have to start with bib #75 or whatever but with #31. Not like that would mean anything come January once the FIS points eventually appear on his ranking but some Swiss guys criticized the idea already https://www.bluewin.ch/en/sport/absolute-cheek-ski-cracks-annoyed-about-star-bonus-for-hirscher-2311053.html
