yeah, but she's been raised in and has always represented (she won a few medals among the cadets/juniors with our team)

I might be biased, but I like them way, way, way, way, way more than those of the last few Olympic Games, especially those of the Paris Games

those are only rumors based on a Turkish journalist's tweet I think Egonu will never go back to Turkey if she wants to leave Milan, she might end up in a blockbuster trade with Scandicci, exchanging her for Antropova, but no chance she leaves Italy once again

the LA Dodgers celebration... top of the year! https://abc7.com/live-updates/dodgers-parade-in-downtown-los-angeles-celebrates-world-series-win/15494063/entry/15497490/ @ 1:34:00...top of the Century! great Kikè!

they're just a bit late... all of the big fishes at the top of the food chain have high mercury levels since the previous Century...and not only those coming from the industrial activity (canned or not) but we're still here (I say "we" because I'm myself a big lover of tuna, swordfish, salmon and all the other big fishes people can find in a sea product market), despite those jinxes

my wintersport season starts mid August with the Hlinka-Gretzky Cup and goes through mid June with the Stanley Cup Finals but the core of course it's only the November through March period, when all the snow & ice sports are in action at 100%, otherwise it's only about hockey

unfortunately, NO iPlayer nowadays works only in the UK

they just wasted years and built up a lot of bad press, haters and controversy (even with the IOC) before doing what should have been done from the beginning now the construction work is on, the track in Cortina will be ready even before the more optimist would think: March 2025 the mandatory safety verification, Autumn 2025 an International Training Week and a test race (basically, the same timing of Beijing 2022 and their track) and according to Armin Zoeggeler, it will be a wonderful, demanding track, where a few training runs before the official opening for the International audience would have been very, very useful...and instead all this kind of advantage the Italian sliding sports teams could have had, are gone thanks to the usual Italian way of (recent) life, wasting time behind local useless, senseless protestors and political games that never go to advantage of anybody

it's the other way round, my friend... Verani won Today's race ahead of Guidi

I'm a bit surprised that nobody reported the Mexican Baseball legend Fernando Valenzuela's death a few days ago https://www.mlb.com/news/fernando-valenzuela-dies Fernandomania still lives and will do it forever

as usual, there's no Italian commentary, only environmental sound (they say there's also an English speaking audio track, but it's mute, there's the ambient sound also there)

will they be brave enough to impose the original Gabba renewal plan or will they have to come down to some kind of compromise and go for a plan B?

meanwhile, in the KIA Tigers are leading 3-1 the Korean Series against the Samsung Lions and therefore they're just 1 win away from the championship rings now they have 3 consecutive chances to clinch the title, always at home, starting from Monday @ 6.30 p.m. local time (10.30 a.m. CET)

yes, and it happened in game #696 however, as the Italian philosopher Giovan Battista Vico stated already 300 years ago, history repeats...therefore I knew it was coming... a) the Dodgers down by 1 at home in a WS game + b) a limping lefthanded going to bat = deja-vu Vin Scully's soul just pushed that ball out in that part of the standings and the comeback win was served

Julio Velasco has been confirmed as the head coach of the women's Italian National Team until the 2028 Olympic Games meanwhile, Karch Kiraly has switched position and now he's the new head coach of the US men's National Team (always looking forward to the 2028 Olympics in LA)

not sure they will be able to keep their stream unlocked for those games DAZN is very good at whining against their events being broadcasted for free elsewhere in any case, I'm well covered with my Japanese IPTV (which I'm using for the NPB playoffs) p.s. earlier Today, I made a nice discover...with a free dazn account and my vpn (express vpn), I can have access to all the free content of the international versions of dazn, too (excluded those in the European Union, because of some stupid rules which lead to see always your local version in all the EU States ) so, I can watch all the free content from the Canadian and/or Japanese dazn, for instance
