Vojthas

They made a substition, so that the alternate could play a little (they were leading with England 7:3 or something like that). But the rules say the player coming in has to use the broom of the player he changes, and Nedregotten used his own. So... forfeit against England.

After Norwegian broomgate nothing can surprise me at this champs.

If you mean the phone number, you don't have to put it - I didn't. It is organized by the Polish TV (public) so, besides it's poltically pro-gov, it should be quite safe. About the voivedoship - just pick one, I doubt it does matter to anything, just the regional classification.

One or.. more? I mean, there might be (or should I say there surely are) more collectors among Totallympians, for whom it would be a nice gift.

Great! Did you use Google Translate - it seems it did well - yes, it does mean what you wanted. I have just one team. League: https://menedzerskokow.tvp.pl/pl/league/totallympics code: 50c73b59

Anyone willing to play ski jumping World Cup fantasy? The only problem - it's in Polish. However this shouldn't be very hard, I can help with something, if somebody wants to. https://menedzerskokow.tvp.pl/

While the Europeans are on, in Poland my team made a great debut in the Polish Curling League (third level), winning both games this weekend. We played for the first time in this roster. However, next leg (21-22 December) will be quite interesting, as we play against the other two teams, who have also won their both games so far.

Yes, FIBA seems to break the bank in this cycle. Still all those 3x3 absurds are much worse.

It's one of the medium-level nonsenses in the Olympic qualification systems. Are we not used to them?

That is exactly what I mean - an Austrian who convinced the Germans that he's the one, for whom they should vote and who leaded the anti-semitic repressions in a country of Einstein. Heine or Mendelssohn, won a democratic elections and introduced a totalitarism with little protests... How can you not call him a great leader? A bad man, person, human - that's for sure.

I would strongly disagree with that one.

Oh, I forgot to mention - even though there are those three exceptions when the abortion is legal, the doctors might not do it, because of the "conscience clause". That was a very loud example (and it seems as lodu that they wrote about it abroad): https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-28225793 PS. Don't stick to much to this 90% of Catholics - it's not that religious country, many of them are just Catholics "on paper" or they go to the Church twice a year - for Christmas and Easter. The Church wedding (which often serves also as the civil one - that's the one good thing about our country's law close to the Church) is more and more often the show for the religious family (as well as christening, first communion or confirmation - the latter bitter-sweet called even by bishops as "the ceremony of farewell from the Church" as youngsters don't have any "formal" need to go to the Church anymore after that).

Both. There is a children poem about two dancing Michaels - "Two Michaels have danced, one was big, one was small, when the big one started dancing, then the other started dancing, when the smaller stopped to dance then the other stopped to dance". And that's exactly what happens, when the topic of abortion comes out. I think that we have one of the stricter abortion law in the UE (at least comparing to the other conservative country, Hungary, where it's 100% legal until the 12th week I think) - it can be done only after diagnosis of life threatened by the pregnancy (for mother), hard illness of the fetus (genetic, deformations etc.) or if the pregnancy is a result of a crime (rape). The so-called "pro-life" movements are strictly against this "compromise" (old women, known for their blind devotion to the Church - what I'm saying as a Catholic, stand on the streets with a big banners showing disguisting photos of aborted fetus in blood with the sign "Abortion is a murder") and at least two times a year there is a long discussion about making this law even stricter. Of course, they are supported by the Polish Church, which has a strong influence on many people (less and less, but still), which leads them to be usually heard by right-wing/central politicians (even those calling themselves "liberal"), but even they do not want such a strict law (except for the far-right) and it's strange to see the ruling party protecting the Church everywhere, the tradition and the God on their banners, but listening to bishop saying "they are bad because they don't introduce the full abortion ban". However, every such a discussion (usually backing the citizen's law project which is from time to time brought to parliament) causes the answer of left-wing politicians, who want to make the law more liberal (which in fact means abortion as an "emergency contraception"). These "pro-life" movements (by their opponents called "anti-choice movements") are never about the people - neither the ill, often terminally ill children, whose few-days-long life is only one big suffer, nor the mother, who needs to watch it and live for nine months with a thought that she will suffer at the birth only to give a birth to a child, whose suffer she will watch - it's all about the Church ideology (although they say they "protect" the children - those unwanted usually end up in a trash, lately a homeless man found a new-born in a plastic bag). Of course, no one says about adopting those unwanted children. Lately I read a good thought about Polish Church - "The truly Polish Catholic is a Roman Catholic withouth all that Christian rubbish." My opinion - this song is much more "pro-life" than all those movements and the Church:

- tax-free Church - religion at school financed by the public money - prosecutors not investigating bishops covering pedophilian priests and pedophilian priests themselves - bishops threating with excommunication to the MPs voting the way they don't like

The only thing that would help would be another mass shooting - not in a school, but in a Congress or White House. But they ensured themselves a safety years ago with a CIA, FBI, NSA or whatever three-letters are they called in this abnormal country, giving no shit about their citizens. God Bless American Politicians!

In this thread I feel now like I'm watching one of my favorite films (starring also "The Favorite"s actress) - "Runaway Jury".

I doubt they would. It's the only way to promote this sport in NZL, breaking the monopole of Australia on the continent for more than just this time.

And one more thing - before Fakhrutdinova and Savkin changed from to , some people here were sure of "free" quota for . Well, the first non-qualified NOC is... .

Qualifications in modern pentathlon are for athletes, not for NOC. The "choosing" is only in the case when there is more than two from the same NOC qualified, which surely won't be the case for New Zealand.

Marina had much better competition, but she didn't manage to recover fully after an injury or rather to train her running skills well enough and lost to Jamieson, something I wouldn't have expected with 25 advantage in fencing, 17 in swimming and only 7 loss in riding (altogether 35 secs of handicap). Rebecca will be just second New Zealandian and first female from this country - the other one was Brian Newth, who participated in Moscow 1980.
