My family on my mother's side comes from Poland, we spent a few holidays there when we were kids. At the beginning of the 21st century it was a pretty cool country, but only now do you see how much Warsaw, for example, has developed. Certainly, Poland has always had a rather bad location on the map and hence a difficult history, but the last 20 years have been very good for it. There is still a negative sentiment for countries like Germany or Russia, for example, it is visible during sports games, when these countries are not the favorites of polish fans :P I think that polish-italian relations as positive - I don't even mean politics, but generally in the feelings of ordinary people. If a survey were to be conducted in Italy, Poland would probably be in the top of the most liked nations. In Poland, I have also always been and still am quite pleasantly received as an Italian.

Soviet Union & China were at odds since Stalin refused to give nuclear weapons to Mao and worsened after Khruschev denounced Stalin alltogether. Yes, these countries have the same goal but chose a different path to reach it. And currently China's methods are proving more successful.
 
There's no real 5D chess with Trump, he usually means what he says. It's just most politicians actually don't say what they mean and now everyone is trying to uncover layers to his words when in fact there's nothing to uncover. If Trump says China is #1 'enemy' then - from purely business perspective - this is how he views his priorities.

Swoboda in 4th but I can live with bronze for van der Weken

Yup, this was indicated last year and now it's official.
 
One take about the movie A Real Pain since it was primarily filmed in Poland - city of Lublin to be exact. It's funny since the city major said lately that "Lublin finally played Lublin in the movies" as the city is in relative obscure location on the south-eastern wall and even Poles don't shoot movies there

Not the way I wanted Karalis to win his first major gold medal, and winning with only 5.90m is a bit disappointing but I guess I shouldn't complain 
 
It seems the pressure of being the favourite with Mondo not competing here got the best of him, but in the end the goal was achieved.

gets one over in the end.

Anna Wielgosz wins 800 gold from the front. That's a major surprise!

Johaug would probably only have one individual medal from this championship without the fall from Sundling/Weng in Skiathlon and this.
