Ivan finishes #11. Covaliu takes the gold, poz the silver. Amazing athletes, notice that Montana seems to be coming back, taking the bronze.

Nice to know that the Northern Rocky Mountain states are gaining favor...
Montano Why sabre? Because you don't take heads with the point.

Even though being West of the Mississippi it should be K---.

Some stations west of the Mississippi have "W" as the start of their call letters. There's a station in Philadelphia that starts with a "K". Can't recall the name. It's a right-wing hatemongering station.

KD and Edew are right...it should be a "K" station, being west of the Mississippi. However, it is a fictional radio station, broadcast from a barnloft, with incessant barking dogs in the background....hence the "WOOF" call letters.

They were rather so in the mid-80s when I lived in Philly. Couldn't listen to more than 15 minutes before I changed the station. WHYY was better on the temperment.

WHYY was better on the temperament. Nope. You're thinking of some other station. I've been listening to it off and on since I was a teenager in the 60s. Though it began in 1921 in Chicago as KYW (which would explain the call sign) and switched to WRCV for a while, it's been an all-news AM station (with very short news bits, traffic and weather, etc.) (and an old-fashioned ticker-tape sound in the background) since 1965 when they switched from call letters WRCV, and was never right-wing; it was paired with KYW-TV and switched from NBC to CBS when the TV station did the same.
Though I agree it's hard to listen to it for more than 15 minutes, because it tends to repeat itself. "Arm yourself, Watson, there is an evil hand afoot ahead." -- Dennis Pierce, 2010 Bulwer-Lytton contest, detective fiction category runner-up.

Serious thread drift here; I'll hijack it back briefly to note that the FIE site has some nice videos of Padova bouts--final between Covaliu and Pozdniakov, semis and team final.
Drift away....
