Vojthas

What else can I say - just thank you for now and:

The the Wojcianiec-Karaevli battle is for nothing as Ukraine will get that spot after losing the team quota, right?

Tito Rabat? Tito Villanova?

In jumping the MER is until the 1st of June (at least according to the document I have, maybe they've changed something).

Well, Ukraine has an experience with that (vide - Logutenkova 2016)

Rule 5.1: "If an NF finds it impossible for its Athlete/Horse combinations to reach the Minimum Eligibility Requirements as above, the FEI will upon request of the NF, send a Foreign Assessing Delegate at the expense of the NF to assess the level of performance, at a FEI approved Competition conducted in accordance with the protocol established in FEI Jumping Rules, effective as of 1 January 2019, Annex VIII, paragraph 8. This Competition will consist of one round with the dimensions as laid down on a course plan provided by the FEI. Athletes/Horse combinations scoring eight (8) penalties or less in this round will be considered to be eligible. The FEI Foreign Delegate will advise the NF and the FEI on the granting of eligibility (Minimum Eligibility Requirements). If an Athlete/Horse combination has more than eight (8) penalties but shows a very good performance otherwise over the course, the Foreign Assessing Delegate may let the combination repeat a similar course. But in no case may an Athlete/Horse combination become eligible if they scored more than eight (8) penalties in the second round. The NFs of the eligible Athlete/Horse combinations will be informed by the FEI immediately."

Swiss people are the only native German-speakers I'm afraid to talk in German with. Even the citizens of Berlin, who are said to be terrible in that matter, are not as scary for me as the SchwizerDütscher.

It's not qualification, it's eligibility

Then you're not a sportaholic

The worst days for a sportaholic

Alpine Skiing will be on 12th and 14th on Eurosport and... that's all for Eurosport at least until 17th. Maybe something more on Player...

Even those who don't really believe go, because of "what would family say?" thing.

300th medal in the Olympic history of was very special to me. (It's not 300th anymore as our athletes got some medals after doping DSQs later on).

Male sportsperson of the year: Johannes Thingnes Boe Female sportsperson of the year: Mikaela Shiffrin Team of the year: men's volleyball NT Junior sportsman of the year (under 20 years old at 1/1/2019): Kristóf Milák Junior sportswoman of the year (under 20 years old at 1/1/2019): Magdalena Stysiak Greatest moment of the year: Selfie with HSH Prince Albert II of Biggest idiot of the year: The one responsible for DSQ of K2 500 m at their home Worlds.

Because of 2010 being part of the decade or because of the result of the match?

I do not have anything from the Yankee brand, but about a one single name: "Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you. Ooh-ooh-ooh!"

No, THE plate is not for a "hungry", it's for a sinful "gluttony".

Tight battle between Stoch, Włodarczyk and Kowalczyk. Stoch - triple Olympic Champion, leader of the Polish Ski Jumping after Małysz. Włodarczyk - double Olympic Champion, absolute domination in women's hammer throw with her 80+ throws. Kowalczyk - double Olympic Champion, once with a broken foot. Kowalczyk had no rival in the Sportsperson of the Year plebiscite in the first half (five consecutive wins 2009-2013, so four in this decade), Then it was all between Stoch, Włodarczyk, Lewandowski (whom I do not mention as he gets his position thanks to popularity and results in clubs, with a totally understandable lack of successes in the NT) and in the years of volleyball Worlds golds Wlazły (2014) and Kurek (2018).

My favorite tradition which is only at my home is "the plate". I'll post it here in the evening, when it will be ready, by then just get curious. BTW - lately I felt my sentimentalism being killed in me when I realized, that I'm happy not for the Christmas itself, but for a few days of not going to work. Call me "Grumpy Old Man"

SO HERE IT IS - MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!!

@Olympian1010 - Do not worry, if you go the same way in life I do (which seems you do so far), you won't cross it at least until the 25 years, so still a lot of idealistic time for you.

Lausanne 2020 has now an official app.

Congratulations to all of the participants. It was the first year I was so active and I think I made all of my plans - starting in all of them, getting an individual medal (and it happened to be gold) and get to the team (also with a medal in the end).
