Nrk made an article on Ukrainian athletes and my heart is breaking. Apparently 272 members of national sports team have been killed 😔🤍
(I want to precise that this is a sports blog for most of the year so that's why I'm speaking of this topic in particular. Any person killed by this horrible war whether they're young/old, athlete or not, they're all irreplaceable)
WHAT IS GOING DOWN IN ZERMATT RIGHT NOW
while i am the biggest alpine skiing fan, both in watching races and practicing the sport, what is going down in zermatt right now is absolutely horrific. not only are they actively damaging glaciers to build a slope for a race in early november (!!) they also don't seem to realize what's wrong with it. climate crisis and hotter temperatures are already a massive threat to our glaciers so actively digging into the glacier* with excavators to realize a event whatever the cost is just short of absolute madness.
so my dear friends of glaciers and winter sports, if you have one minute to sign the petition below, would be great :)
*as of now they have to stop work at some parts of the slope but not the whole thing which just continues with the theme of stupidity
