i don't think you've actually watched seb race at all because he ran people off the track and crashed into them just as much, if not more than max does now.
2023 WORLD SILVER MEDALISTS: HAEIN LEE + JUNHWAN CHA
First South Korean Senior World Medalists since Yuna Kim
”This season the first half of the season was very rough to me but I really tried not to give up and to bring back myself. This is my first time coming to Japan, to Saitama. So I really want to come, And I achieved that, and I achieved more than I expected. I brought everything that I wanted to bring to the audience and I’m really happy about it.”
- Haein Lee
“I’m very happy about the medal today and also I’m very happy with what I skated, what I did today. I really trained hard and I really wanted to enjoy today and I think I really enjoyed it. And I give everything so I’m very happy about that.”
- Junhwan Cha
“I want this test to mean something. I did a test in the middle of 2013, which ultimately set up my seat in 2014 with the team. Ten years later I’m kind of in that same position again.”
In 2013, Daniel took part in the Young Driver Test in Silverstone. He would set the fastest time of the day in the Toro Rosso and the third fastest time in the RB9, which he would beach on his 7th lap.
He’s done this before, he knows how to get this shit done.
“I know if I put a good showing in, it won’t go unnoticed. It might not be laptime at the end of the day. It might be like ‘Oh sh*t, by the end of lap 2 he was already flat out’.
“By the end of the test, I just want them to be like ‘Oh f*ck, this kid still has it. He’s not just cruising around. He’s not a test driver’.”
He was a semi-openly gay man within professional wrestling. Publicly, he was secretive about his sexuality. He had a poor, sad, lonely upbringing until he was more successful his father accepted him more. But he didn't have much support from his family when he came out to them as a teenager in the late 50s. Had to leave home at 16.
He's been the subject of rumors and erroneous stories because of homophobia in wrestling and in society.
He was a talent and a genius for wrestling and helped so many wrestlers over 45-50 years throughout the 80s, 90s, 2000s, and 2010s all the way until his death in 2020. He was like 'required reading' for anyone dreaming to wrestle, he put on shows and matches that today are still unbelievable.
Please save me, I'm reading a reddit thread about Seb vs Max(bcs Tost said he thought Seb would win out), and none of these people know how good Seb was in his prime
Wanting to collect my thoughts on MCC29 as a women’s history month event
• Dodgebolt coming down to False vs Gee is a big one, so cool to see how everyone — regardless of which team they were rooting for — cheered them both on
• Jojo coming first again is massive, as she’s the only woman to ever do so (the first time was MCC25)
• also screw you, nonbinary people count, Ranboo making top 5 makes the list!! Especially considering the only other time we’ve had two non-men in the top 5 was Hannah (2nd) and Ranboo (4th) in MCC27
• This event had had 15 non-men contestants, making it joint 3nd for the highest of any canon MCC to date!! (MCC27 had eighteen, MCC10 had seventeen, and MCCs 3, 23, and 28 had fifteen)
• There was also only one team (Orange Ocelots) that was exclusively men, which has only occured a couple times!!! (MCC10 had at least one non-man on every team, but two of them were viewer teams; MCCs 3, 19, and 23 also had 9/10 teams with at least one non-man on them)

FORMULA ONE: A HISTORY
1950 INDIANAPOLIS 500
The Indianapolis 500 was the race 3 of 7 in the 1950 World Championship of Drivers. The event, however, did not attract any European Formula One drivers for 1950. Giuseppe Farina originally planned to enter, but his car never arrived. The race was originally scheduled for 200 laps (500 miles), but was stopped after 138 laps (345 miles) due to rain. During the month, Clark Gable and Barbara Stanwyck were at the track to film scenes for the film To Please a Lady. Stanwyck was on hand in victory lane after the race for the traditional celebratory kiss to the winner.
POLE POSITION: Walt Faulkner (Kurtis Kraft)
WINNER: Johnnie Parsons (Kurtis Kraft)
2ND: Bill Holland (Lou Moore)
3RD: Mauri Rose (Howard Keck)
2023 WORLD CHAMPIONS: KAORI SAKAMOTO + SHOMA UNO
First Japanese Singles Skaters to Defend their World Titles in Figure Skating
”My strength for this season was my experience up until today. Before the Grand Prix Final I struggled a lot but the week into Nationals I was able to bring my condition back up because of the experiences I had before, I remembered how to overcome that, so I was able to do that. Today in my free skate I was nervous but I was able to minimize my mistakes because of all the struggles and tough experiences I had, so I can say my strength is from my experiences.”
- Kaori Sakamoto
“Looking back at my career, I’ve had several similar experiences and there’s always people around and close to me to support me through the hard times. I had this with injuries, bad condition, in the past it was my family that was there for me but now there’s Marin, Stephane and coach Demi, all the managers and everyone involved, I’m really grateful for the support and presence to my team.”
- Shoma Uno
