If Starcraft is a sport, then bitchslapping should be on Olympics

Watching the snooker semi-final between David Gilbert and John Higgins. So far in tonight's session, they've been fighting to beat each other at who can play worse. Higgins leads that contest, Gilbert leads the session 2-1 and the match 12-7 ...
 
No Nicko, I guess he'll be there for the final.

And Higgins improved in the last half session, the day ended with Gilbert two frames up (13-11). Higgins made a 143-break (highest of the tournament so far) in frame 21!
 
We got a Trump v Higgins final and for a while, it looked like it would be an exciting one. Two frames into the 2nd session it was tied at 5-5. Then ... Judd Trump won eight in a row :eek:

Bloody hell. I haven't been watching it this time but Trump looks to be on absolute fire. Higgins has had some amazing shots though
 
And with the afternoon session ending 4-4, it was only a matter of when Trump would secure the victory tonight. He took the first two frames and that was that.
 
The Netherlands won the medal table at the 2021 European Athletics Indoor Championships in Toruń, Poland!
Best results before this was in 1989. Amazing. There has been a lot of progress since a year or so.

The 4 x 400m relays were awesome. Femke Bol is a super talent.

What we need is more of bandy.
I rely upon global warming making Europe cold enough* to allow playing bandy in southern countries as well**.

* Screwing up the Gulf Stream, in case you're wondering.
** There's a Swedish girl doing her best to protect her country's dominant position in that sport, I hear.
