@heywoodu ya bunch of bullies !

Fun Fact was released by our Olympic Committee on its site today. I had no idea about it as well. It is exactly 50 years since last time a European player was in the W Singles World Championship Final, and believe it or not it was a Slovak player (under Czechoslovakia at that time obviously) Photo (Courtesy of SOŠV Slovak NOC website): In 1973 at the Sarajevo World Champs Alica Grofová faced Chinese Hu Yulan in the W Singles Final, Who would have thought at that day that for the next half of Century it will be the last European appearance in this discipline Gold Medal Match at the WCh.

Yes, it should be fine this time... but due to the experience from the previous Olympics, well, we will still remain in alert if you do not mind until the very end. He also had Tokyo basically during the entire qualification in the bag but somehow finally lost that quota in the very last race by a couple of silly places in the semi-finals

Jakub Borguľa confirmed today his incredible start of his first career Junior season finishing 5th in the Sprint in Ridnaun and believe it or not, but the kid is really still leading the whole World Cup ... I do not understand, is this some sort of intergalactical coincidence of circumstances in this season first trimester or do we really actually have some hopes in this sport for the future ?

Points Points for ,would never have believed that I would hear it this year Miracles apparently does not happens only during Christmas It was also the first career WC points of Ema Kapustová, Congrats, something nice for her after finishing 41st just a couple of seconds behind points Thursday right on her 21st birthday, was her new PB but rather bittersweet on your birthday I mean lol
