1978 World Eventing Championships - Lexington, Kentucky
This event has a cult status in the history of eventing. Partly because it was well-documented, and partly because it belonged to a time when three-day event was so hard-core that it was basically an entirely different sport compared to today. Therefore this film is indeed quite a gem, since already in the 1980s cross-country courses became much tamer... This 1978 track had some enormous, solid jumps, incredibly deep water sections and an Irish bank (called "Fort Lexington") which honestly looked more like a freakin' castle!
The event produced a legendary individual champion, and one of the most random team champions in history...

Olympian1010 reacted to MHSN in [OFF TOPIC] Coronavirus Pandemic
If I'm not wrong here they already released more than half of prisoners, probably something like 60/70% , even though that was 2-3 months ago, now they are calling them back. no more holidays for at least some of them.
we had two cases of "prison break", one of them was kind of funny, apparently someone left some doors open and they just ran ! we had videos of prisoners running into the streets with underwear or things like that
very unlikely here, because there is death penalty for those crimes. this is probably not a popular opinion here in this forum but that's one of the few rules here that I completely support. human right is for humans, not for those kind of criminals.

Somewhat similar. We’re been releasing non-violet criminals who are near completion of their sentence from my understanding. It’s the right thing to do. We need to try and help our incarcerated populations as well. Some of the worst Covid-19 outbreaks are in prisons.

The American website Bloomberg writes an article where it highlights how Slovakia manages so far the fight against coronavirus. In the article, they evaluate that the significant key was the speed of implementation of the measures, according to the epidemiologist from Vienna, Slovakia acted correctly.
you don´t see articles about Slovakia in foreign medias often and positive ones almost never

Sadly you're right. I already have 32 deaths to report including those already mentioned in this thread.

Quite a saddening statistic from @Dragon here. I fear @Nickyc707 will have a long list this month

Americans are weak willed, uneducated, strongly opinionated, and have a tendency to go against science. This literally doesn’t shock me one bit. We honestly have more in common with Brazil or Indonesia than the UK or Germany at this point.

Because Lidl is 95% grocery like someone else mentioned.

Yeah, I realize some food chains are only operating in some states and are completely unknown in others. Lidl is just about scattered all over Europe though.

After this whole bullshit of Larson being thrown out due to Murica being Murica, his replacement for the remainder of the season is a pretty interesting one....48 year old 2003 champion Matt Kenseth Did not see that coming!

Ideally all approved games/activities will be free. Virtual Regatta is the Sailing app, and it will most likely be an event. Giovanni has suggest World Golf Tour as the Golf program.

Since OCA is still tight-lipped on Asian Winter Games, it looks like we can expect there won't be AWG in super congested 2021

Yeah, month-day-year makes zero sense. It's like naming the time in a minutes:seconds:hours format or something.
Then again, it's the US, we shouldn't expect better
