Oh, I really don't like this "repechage" idea. Why don't they try such important changes in some Tier II competition first? Like European Champs or sth???

And then official results from the second semi turned out to be app. -0.1 sec faster than the first unnoficial ones, so our commentators kept saying that there might have been sth wrong with the timing as well. Hope they are wrong here. Those were too excellent runs by her, both in the semi and in the final.

I haven't watched it live but it looks like Polish TV was so focused on some boring people talking in the studio that they missed Tobi Amusan WR in the live broadcast last night... ehh...

Strange facts: Even though Team Poland performance in Eugene was "nothing special", pretty average tbh, we are still the top European team in the medal table. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_World_Athletics_Championships#Medal_table The stats don't show the real strength here. There's no way Poland will be the top team at the European champs later this summer.

Just checked the sports list for Commonwealth Games. And it looks like I need some YT tutorial "cricket for beginners".

I'll try Commonwealth Games this year. Never watched it carefully before but I have a feeling I will like it. Swimming events with some people who didn't show up at the worlds are the most interesting for me here. I hope there will be some internet broadcast available here in Poland.

Swimming WCH has ended. Wimbledon has ended. Athletics WCH has ended. Tour de France has ended. What to watch now? Any recommendations? I can see only F1 race in Hungaroring this week.

Voting in this one ends on Monday.

I have a day off-work today so here is another poll. These are olympic champions in certain events. Imagine that all these champions are on the top of their game at the very same moment in time. Who would have won gold? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_athletics_(men)#10,000_metres https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_athletics_(women)#10,000_metres https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_swimming_(men)#100_metres_backstroke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_gymnastics_(men)#Horizontal_bar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_gymnastics_(women)#Balance_beam

Poland at the top of the medal table. Let’s enjoy it cause it won’t last long.

Btw, anyone knows how to watch it online in Switzerland without VPN?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN43inpI2lk Paris drive. It is definitely weird, but I must admit I kinda like it, this sort of videos. A nice chill out.
