My brother was here this past weekend on a karate competition. Unfortunately he managed to sprain both his ankles before actually having a match (was warming up and landed badly) so we got to make fun of him for being a cripple etc.
But I also got to impress Sander by introducing him to the reigning World Champion, a friend of my brother's and a fellow Estonian all in one person.
There's a weirdness with Estonians and sports. Meaning that Estonians tend to be good at some individual sports like cross country skiing, chess, karate, judo, sumo-wrestling, decathlon and so on. I suppose it has to do with the difficulty of finding a certain number of really GOOD sportspeople of the same sport from a population of 1,3 million...
