Poland winter sports are fricken dismal when it comes to management right now. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Wow, I knew Nordic combined has very tiny depth, but a team with two athletes I've never in my life heard of (and yes, I watch all the World Cups and always check results of Continental Cups) finishing 6th at the world championships says quite something for me Not good of course when 75% of the main team leaves. Edit: wait, Marusarz was not in that team, Pawel Slowiok was and at least he sounds sort of familiar If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
