Yeah, he's pretty famous here in Poland. He's a household name and a minor national hero. Mostly because he's one of the few Poles that are on the top of their sports.<br /><br />I don't have a TV here (or in the US) so I watch stuff online. It's streamed usually by a British bloke, so I see the Eurosport and BBC feeds, which are quite good.<br />In 2008, the only bit of the Olympics I got to see was some Pole getting bronze in fencing, and they played that clip about fifteen times within an hour.<br /><br />Justyna Kowalczyk has won a couple of medals (half of what the Polish contingent has come up with; Malysz has the other two.)<br /><br />I'll be posting a thing on this later, but there is something I'd like to address in Polish sports. Most Poles are avid soccer fans, but the Polish national soccer team rarely gets anywhere (they did well in the World Cup some decades back.) It seems Poland doesn't really invest very much in its sports (although, their handball and volleyball teams always do well. Also, there are Poles on other countries' teams (most notably, Germany) which is something of both a painful and prideful point.)PolishMeKnobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00113146896861359404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7665473493240617077.post-72275237823255579892010-02-23T16:56:37.068-05:002010-02-23T16:56:37.068-05:00Good to see you posting again.

Noticed a Polish guy got second in the ski jumping and the crowd was very pro-Polish, or at least the Polish fans were making the most noise. The guy's last name was Malish (spelled phonetically because I'm horrible with all those consonants).Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04401716626327927856noreply@blogger.com
