Sports or not, the general rule is to mingle with the smarter and the richer. The dumber and the poorer will drag you down or take you wallet, if not life.

@pawian That sounds ungrateful, remember a Pole is meant to either work in the field or fight for it after all :) either with words or glory Poland shall be blessed! :)
I suspect there aren't many people here who watch figure skating, as far as I remember Lenka liked it, but this figure skater has an interesting family history so I decided to put some spotlight on her. I was watching this year's Rostelecom Cup and the moment I saw her hair and costume I turned the sound on because I knew this couple's dance is going to be interesting and I wasn't mistaken. I really liked it, the audience did too and the song they picked for their free dance - "Survivor" - resonates well with me during these pandemic times... Her surname sounded Polish - Tiffany Zagorski (Zahorski in Wikipedia) - so I decided to check if she has Polish roots.
Her great-grandfather was Eugeniusz Fostowicz-Zahorski, a renowned Polish chess player and activist and her great-grandmother Anna Zahorska, a Polish poet. Zahorski family, a house of Belarusian boyars, received the Lubicz coat of arms from a Polish king. You can read the rest (or at least most of it - there's more in Polish Wiki) in English version of Wikipedia:
Pity she doesn't skate for Poland (she skates for Russia), considering she comes from such a patriotic family, but I can't blame her - Polish figure skating is basically in an agonal state.
Either way, those interested in figure skating - watch out for her in future competitions :)
Polish figure skating is basically in an agonal state.
It's the same with other ice sports too. PolAmKrakow talked about this with ice hockey - it's run for the benefit of those who run it, rather than for the development of the sport.
The very limited ice available in Poland doesn't help things.
plenty of Polish riders have come to ride for British clubs in the past.
Usually vice versa these days. I was reading only recently how British clubs struggle because Polish teams can afford to pay riders much more these days.
Yeah. Speedway used to be as big, if not bigger than football in the UK after the war. Even in the seventies I used to go to watch Wembley Lions at the old Wembley Stadium. It is amazing how just four motorbikes can make so much noise!!! But it has really gone down in popularity here and yet continues to be popular in Poland and several other countries.
Lukasz Piszczek - Polish football player and BVB Legend
Yesterday Polish football player Lukasz Piszczek won the German cup with his club Borussia Dortmund. The player who will retire after this season has long won the hearts of his fans who will always remember him fondly for his eleven years with us. He is the last remaining player of the "Polish trio" consisting of Jakub Błaszczykowsk and Lewandowski which played together during Dortmund's very succesful Klopp era. With Dortmund, he won twice the national championship and three times the German cup, and 2013 almost the Champions League.
As a devoted Dortmund fan, I can only sincerely say: Thank you "Pische" for everything, you were an absolute legend!
Tacitus and BB, what do you think of Lewandowski breaking the record of scored goals set by the German player Mueller long ago??? Lewy has just attained it today, though some Germans begged him to show respect for the German legendary record holder and give up.
