That was the excuse our politicians came up with after the USSR ambassador in Poland wanted Kozakiewicz to be stripped of the gold AND banned for life for "offending the Soviet nation" Ain't communism fun?

This race shapes up to be a major shitshow! Everyone but fucking Stroll for the win!

Moscow 1980 was also the hottest Summer OG based on average temperature IIRC. This was a disappointing Games for Poland. We "only" won 3 gold medals and a bucketload of silvers and bronzes (14 + 15). At least Wladyslaw Kozakiewicz told the comrades to fuck off in a stylish way after winning the pole vault gold on July 30th.

Marquez looks hurt. If that's a broken collarbone he will probably miss next weekend's race and that will really open the door for Quartararo in particular in terms of the title.

Well, if he wins then he's the new world #1? I suppose he will get nervous around the 12th hole

I actually don't admire Merkel at all. Her politics would have made me vote for SPD if I was a German even though I never vote for left-wing parties, she's that bad

4th birdie in a row for Jon Rahm and he leads by two.

It's still alive and doing very well in the Polish Ekstraklasa!

Tony Finau was up by 4 and now he's one behind after some double bogeys. I only recently found out my latest Canal + upgrade unlocked the Golf Channel

That was the typical English football of the era. Didn't like Ireland play England both at the 1988 Euro and 1990 WC? It's been years since I watched this but I remember one of these games was particulary boring, probably the 1988 Euro tbh.

It seems like Charlton blamed Sheedy for a poor pass that eventually had Aldridge losing the ball? And Townsend (#13) really should have cancelled that play with a foul on Baggio long before Bonner had a chance to even make a save.

This is the goal. Bonner kinda left the net wide open there

I admire Gerhard Schroeder more than Angela Merkel given how he gave up politics to boost his account with Russian gas money rather than Frau Merkel trying to "fix Europe" for all those years. Even independent media can't do anything about big politics joining forces with big money. Doping scandals come and go, big money always stays

Meanwhile the US Federal Government has resumed putting away inmates on death row. Three convicted murderers have been send packing in the last few days, all of them child killers. With COVID and BLM running wild I guess the usual outrage defending serial killers has been stuck on idle this time

Yes, they are but there are smoke signals to be observed. Bradley Wiggins has completely fallen off the face of the Earth after his "mysterious jiffy bag" case became public, British Athletics is cleaning house like crazy to cut ties with the Salazar/Farah NOP era and even Chris Froome has been released by the Ineos Evil Empire. In normal circumstances they'd do anything to get Froome that 5th TdF victory that would tie him with the legends but apparently juice is not worth the squeeze and Team Sky/Ineos seems to be living on borrowed time for a while now. Shit might yet hit the fan and I won't be surprised by it one bit.

That's exactly my point. There are far more suitable whipping boys like Russia and Kenya for the Western world to spend their money on the anti-doping crusade

I'll wait for another ARD investigation to find the answers you're looking for

Everyone seems likeable when not spoiled by media attention. Somehow I feel like Schippers was far more liked when she beat her 800m PB by 7 seconds to win that heptathlon bronze in Moscow 2013 IIRC?

Yemen's support for Saddam Hussein during the Persian Gulf War made them a complete pariah in the world's geopolitics The civil war goes on there for over 25 years tbh. No wonder the so-called West doesn't give a damn about them.

Nick Kyrgios has a new girlfriend.. other than that, Katerina Siniakova lost to a 13 year old girl in Moravia Open... sigh... the mental midgets always stay the same. It remains to be seen if this Fruhvirtova girl takes off in the future... from 1h 47 mins mark.

Robert Shwartzman & Nikita Mazepin take 1-2 in the Hungary F2 Feature Race after some crazy tyre wear strategy that favored those who started towards the back of the field. Shwartzman won by 15,5 secs. despite starting 11th and that's unheard of on a track like Hungaroring. Dare I say the Russians didn't have so much success in Hungary since 1956 It's Shwartzman's second win of the season and he seems like the most successful driver wearing a Ferrari badge this season so far!

VeeKay will use a back up car tonight. This baby is junk!

It's not like Netherlands has one event they own (like Poland in hammer throw ) so I suppose if Bol becomes a force your country will quickly become a fan of 400m hurdles (like Norway on the men's side ).

Makes me wonder how long until Femke Bol replaces Dafne Schippers as the new Dutch #1 in athletics? Good thing she's not Russian, otherwise we'd have doping accusations running around now

Racing Point would like to have a word with you, sir! @heywoodu
