Hey, A bit late to the show here my mini-collection, I have also Albertville 92, Lillehammer 94, Sochi 14 and Rio 16 from the missing ones in the picture when I was younger (dumber and less handsome than now ) I was collecting for some reason also the FIFA World Cup books...seriously, no idea why I was doing that

Dinner ready, I helped a lot this time, I swear 1. sour & sweet cabbage soup with sausages and mushrooms (Top right) 2. christmas baked carp on lemon and tomatoes with traditional czechoslovak mayonnaise potato-eggs salad (right to the carp) 3. traditional slovak baked sweat bread balls with poppy seeds and sweet milk (Top left) Bon Appetit and Merry christmas once again

Christmas tree and decorations prepared and done. Also Baby-Jesus "our Santa" already arrived as you see, sometimes he is too impatient now on to the dinner preparations

Merry Christmas to all Totallympians. Wish you all pleasant and beautiful Christmas holidays moments among your beloved ones and your families

Pairs are always counted as individuals here. In our former Canoe Slalom C2 triple olympic chanpions Pavol & Peter Hochschorners were Best individual Slovak Athlete of the Year winners as well https://sk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Športovec_roka_(Slovensko)

Andre Onana announced his retirement from national team, claiming he achieved his childhood dream to represent Cameroon at WC and now he can leave and focus on his club career

Reigning Olympic Champion in the Weightlifting -81kg Lu Xiaojun is currently provisionally suspended for EPO until the resolution of his case. I do not think it is true though, it is a weightlifter, those guys are famous for not doping :/

As usual my biggest focus is going to be for the surprise of nobody on Ice Hockey. The whole season IIHF WCH program, I just love to follow all the different tournaments in all categories, international tournaments, different national championships, NHL and all this marathon will again lead to the Seniors Top Division World Championships in May. and what concern the rest of sports, there Plenty of things, hard to select only some, basically excited about following the whole Paris 2024 Qualifiers cycle, mainly the Wrestling world champs and Paris qualifying tournaments are going to be strongly followed here this time just like the Canoe Slalom worlds and eventual internal olympic qualifiers. Among the interantional major sport events, certainly the Athletics worlds at our southern and the European Games at our northern neighbors are my most awaited events for next summer, plus obviously the Tour de France one of my most beloved tradition. but to start the year it is almost all about the winter sports season. all winter sports world cup races, and upcoming world championships in February and March.
