Grassmarket 2,715 Posted June 6, 2020 #903 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Well, that’s me sorted for the next couple of hours. The 2019 European Tram Driver Championships from Brussels. Geez, not wanting to give away any spoilers, but if I ever go to Stockholm, I’m sticking to the bus. They must have a lot of amputees. heywoodu, dcro and bmo 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember some sports events randomly using reversed coats of arms on flags, and thus leaving us all with the question "Why?". #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the funny thing is that actually this one is the correct one Officially if the national flag is hung vertically, the emblem must be in the middle. basically we have two sorts of national flag in Slovakia the one "normal" used in horizontal position and the other one that have to be used in vertical position. Anyway the white part must be in the left. dcro, Olympian1010 and heywoodu 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,499 Posted June 6, 2020 #907 Share Posted June 6, 2020 What if a smaller event only has a regular Slovak flag, but hangs their flags vertically? Like maybe IBU Cups, where the flags are generally pretty weird. Imagine a Brazilian flag that's at least 90% green and has a tiny bit of the yellow/blue thing in the middle 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!
