Monika Zakrzewska wrote that Maja Chwalińska is developing her own career and should not be compared to Iga Świątek or compete with her for the affection of Polish fans. She would like both tennis players to compete on the court, as they were supposed to in the first set the previous day. Zakrzewska considered that Świątek's career might gradually decline while Chwalińska's could develop rapidly, and she expressed hope that the players would meet in the finals of major tournaments. She cited Jess Pegula as an example of a player who entered the top ranks at the age of 27 and assessed that Chwalińska has already opened her way to success. She wished her victory that day, triumphs in major tournaments, and happiness, adding that she deserved it on her own, rather than in comparison to Świątek. #tenis #MajaChwalińska #IgaŚwiątek (translated)

In "On Foot Around the World," he wrote that after the previous day's march, his quadriceps were sore, which he attributed to having eaten only nuts all day. The day before, because he slept close to the road and did not want to be visible, he skipped dinner and ate only the cold contents of a can — chakalaka. He reported that over those two days he walked a total of 116 km: 54 km and 62 km. He calculated about 39 km a day from this, dividing the result by three, and wrote that he had to rest that day. He also described a long conversation with a pastor who — as he recounted — boasted about building 17 churches in South Africa and other Southern African countries. According to the author, the pastor was white, came from Johannesburg, and moved with his wife after selling their house and farm. The pastor cited high crime rates and the deaths of many farmers as reasons for the move. The conversation lasted about an hour and a half; the pastor presented him with the history of South Africa, including the last 25 years when — as he put it — black people began to take power. The author added that he later learned that the pastor belonged to the Jehovah's Witnesses. The man had offered him accommodation at his brother's place in Gordon’s Bay if he was in the Cape Town area. "On Foot Around the World" described this town as a southwestern suburb and noted that it was on the way from Cape Agulhas. #marsz #odpoczynek #historia (translated)

Jakub Balcerzak wrote that Ran Takahashi was set to debut in the TAURON League as a member of Bogdanka LUK Lublin. He described the 25-year-old Japanese player as someone who combined recognition among fans and collaboration with major brands with the ambition for further sports development. According to the author, the transfer to Lublin was not merely a marketing move: the club had tried to acquire the player earlier, and this year’s discussions were the third attempt. Balcerzak stated that Takahashi only now believed he was ready to play in Poland, and the prospect of playing alongside Wilfredo Leon was an important argument for him. According to Balcerzak, Takahashi started as a libero, and he became interested in volleyball thanks to his older brother Rui. He gained wider attention as an outside hitter when, in his last year of school, he led Higashiyama to the Japanese high school championship, after which he began studying at Nippon Sport Science University. Philippe Blain called him up for VNL 2021, despite his limited experience in senior volleyball, and he subsequently made it to the squad for the Olympic Games in Tokyo. In his national team debut, he achieved, according to data cited by the author, 50% attacking efficiency, 35% attack effectiveness, and 80% positive reception. Balcerzak wrote that after the 2021 national team season, Takahashi, at Blain's urging, went to Italy. In December 2021, he joined Padwa, and later moved to Monza, with which he reached the LegaVolley finals and the Challenge Cup semifinals in 2024. In the 2024 league season, he recorded 49% attacking efficiency, 35% attack effectiveness, and 53% positive reception. After three years in Italy, he returned to Japan after the 2024 national team season, which — as the author described — was hampered by ankle injuries and a defeat at the Olympic Games. According to Balcerzak, Takahashi became the face of the SV League project, and in the first season he won a double gold crown and almost all individual awards. After his second season in Japan, he chose Lublin, wanting to find himself in a new environment before the Los Angeles Olympics. The author stated that in the 2026 national team season, the player was among the top five volleyball players, recording 53% attacking efficiency, 39% attack effectiveness, and 53% positive reception. He also quoted coach Stéphane Antiga’s opinion, who described Takahashi as a “complete outside hitter,” and pointed out that the player particularly valued defense, precision, and mentality. #TAURONLiga #Siatkówka #RanTakahashi #Debiut (translated)

Saara Huhtasaari assessed that Ukraine could not win the war and that this should have been clear as early as 2022. She considered supporting the war foolish from the beginning and wrote that hundreds of billions had been spent on Ukraine while corruption and abuses in military procurements continued. According to her, the money had disappeared and politicians had become richer. Huhtasaari believed that Trump's diesel agreement would not change the outcome of the war, claiming that Ukraine would lose regardless. She blamed the West for maintaining a narrative for four years that victory would require only more weapons and time. In her opinion, this was a war of attrition, in which Russia was enduring better and Ukraine's personnel reserves were dwindling. #Ukraina #sota #historia (translated)
