How’s the weather in Courchevel/Meribel this weekend???

Where are you then???

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_bombing_of_Yugoslavia Yes, ofc I know NATO 1999 bombing wasn't related to Bosnia war at all in time. But in my opinion, it may have prevented another Sarajevo / Srebrenica situation in Kosovo back then. That is why I mentioned Srebrenica & Sarejevo here. Ofc you are right that other sides in those wars commited crimes as well. And that thankfully I haven't experienced war myself, only martial law back in 1981 and after. I hope you will never experience war again and wish you all the best. The only thing - regarding to all of this ban staff - is that we must never forget that it was Slovenia, Bosnia and Croatia who invaded Serbia back in the 90s, it was Kosovo who invaded Serbia after that and it was Ukraine who invaded Russia in 2022, all of them to gain their people and their territory. Apart from that, I 100% agree that this is sports website so I will try to avoid political stuff in the future. I will do that if you stop insult some of us with words like "they all think that their opinion is only relevant and that they represent the entire world."

Exactly, combat sports and shooting… how wonderful

And tbh, i really don’t care about Paris 24 that much what i care is how to stop this war and if not allowing BLRUS to perform in Paris may help to stop the war somehow i am for it 100% but i don’t know how not-allowing could help to stop it ofc THE PROBLEM IS i am sure that allowing them to participate will not help to stop the war at all, as things stand today

If i have seen NATO bombs falling on my head, i would probably share your point if view. the thing is majority of Polish people in my generation haven’t done or supported anything what could make anyone think about throwing bombs on their heads sorry, but after Sarajevo and Srebrenica we will not find common stand here and obviously i know when NATO bombings in Serbia happened, but I wonder if they happened earlier the war in Bośnia would be shorter and less cruel or not???

RUS-POL would be M volleyball, W tennis, M tennis, W team epee… BLR-POL would be W tennis, W kayak… i don’t know how strong RUS and BLR are in M hammer throw these days or how strong they are in W sports climbing (speed event)

I wonder what sports / events are most possible rivalry for medals between RUS&BLR and UKR assuming all NOCs competing in Paris???

Anyone knows if M and W alpine combined events in 2026 Olympics are confirmed now???

Artur Partyka is promoting athletics meet in Łódź on Saturday. Maybe it will be a good one but i haven’t checked the start lists yet

Alpine WCH starting on Monday! but what to watch this weekend? Chamonix and Willingen are probably the best choices for me but what else?

https://tickets.wabudapest23.com what tickets would you choose from the available ones? The most expensive ones at the start line or some other in a different part of the stadium?

@Vektor thanks, i will go there to see this place. when asking about best foods&drinks in town i obviously didn’t think about fancy restaurants, michelin stars etc. 😉 i thought about nice places where locals go… hungarian cuisine is definitely one of my favourites!

We will take a train from Katowice. Now we are looking for a płace to stay at airbnb. we would like to go for full 9 days that would be my 4th time in Budapest. But first time since Imre Nagy monument has been sadly moved away from that square close to the parliament… anyway, i love this city and we have plans for these few days when there are no morning sessions at the stadium
