Even a twelve year old would normally not have the means to plan such an attack. Researching how to do it, getting the acid, actually going through with the plan – that sounds suspiciously like someone older planning it and having the children execute the attack because they'll face more lenient penalties from the law IMO.

First known all-lgtbq+ crew. I'd bet somewhere around the world this already happened but purely by day-to-day business.

I think they still don't have a peace treaty, but at the moment no active fighting

You serious? Did you miss the Azerbaijani-Armenian war?

Which is probably why they now want to ban all non-competing country flags from all official areas including the team booth too.

Tbf the only reason they banned the Russian broadcasters was because a big number of other EBU members were threatening with boycott if Russians were allowed to compete. Which didnt happen with Israel, where only a handful of members wanted to see them banned.

And it's pretty easy to see why it is illogical - because you have 56+ broadcasters on the deciding table, between which key personnel can change regularly.

There is a huge polarization in Georgia afaik, the current government is enacting authoritarian and right-wing policies. Keep in mind that while a huge part of the population wants to be close with the EU against Russia, it's also a quite conservative country.

EU's attention in the region has shifted to Armenia in recent years.

It's really bad and sad.

But fyi from what I have read the suspect was a friend of the model who had gotten into a fight, so the murder most likely it wasn't a hate crime.

research (is) highlighting East African dominance in distance running, attributed to genetic predispositions, high-altitude training, traditional diets, and sociocultural factors.

Or, you know, one could separate athletes into brackets/categories that are better comparable and don't give certain people a huge advantage over others. Make a separate marathon category for East Africans. Make a separate swimming category for people like Phelps. Make categories for boxing based on strength or performance.

Multiple female skiers have called for a different way of doing things for example, because the shorter courses for women bore them and they aren't allowed to compete against men.
