WS R32 Polcanova 1-3 Odo (-11, 3, -7, -9) Odo is fortunate to have gotten G1. FEE and CT are two different animals.

The yen has just hit a 38-year low today (1 USD ~ 160 JPY). Now, Tenergy costs less than its 2015 list price in Japan (still 1000 yen higher than its original 2008 list price). Just when I came back from Japan...

Moregard has been losing left and right since 2023, even worse for the first half of 2024, that it's hard to imagine he is currently the highest-ranked player from Sweden.

人/jin here means human/person. It is a homonym for 神 as well, which means divinity/deity, and is also a surname, e.g. 神 巧也/JIN Takuya. 外/gai means foreign/outside.

She will still get a ZPP for the late withdrawal from WS on the 3rd one. She should be fine for now.

What I find the most interesting is the 0-4 loss to Hirano at Zennihon Takkyu 2024 that led to the change of coach, style and equipment.
