2 gold and 2 silver for Orange 14's neighbour's daughter. Wikipedia page for Katie Ledecky describes her as the greatest female swimmer of all time.
Bethesda must be very proud of her.

I noticed she finished 2nd in the 400m and knew she is Orange 14's neighbour's daughter.
Yes she is!! She won the 800m free last night. They had a watch party at the school she attended which is right down the street.

Guys, a friend of mine has just moved to Holland. He has a job, but he's finding hard to rent a place. Do you know if somebody in here or in the Dutch section could help?

Pffffff, yes. Finding a place to rent became hard in recent years.
In which city is he searching?

He's working is in Nieuwegein. So anywhere near the Hilversum - Utrecht - Nieuwegein area would be ok.
Thank you very much!!

Only a bronze in the 400m womens freestyle for Miss Ledecky. Hope she gets a gold so Orange 14 and his neighbours can celebrate.

She did not appear disappointed in the result as the first two are clearly faster than her at this distance.

Just watched Katie Ledecky win a gold in the 1500 freestyle .She is in a class of her own and the others were a distance behind her after only 400m.Not sure anyone else is going to win a gold quite so convincingly .
Orange 14 will be very proud of her .Still the 800 and 4x 200 for her to get more golds.
Apart from her I am cheering on Brits .

One of the commentators said that she now owns the best 20 times on this distance
ever. Talk about dominance...

Henderson has just paid 5.5m cash for a house in Blaricum ,just a few miles east of Amsterdam and an up market area with expensive homes. My cousin lives in nearby Huizen and I have cycled around Blaricum with him . Bergkamp lives there also.Weghorst actually rented a villa there so maybe Henderson plans to stay another season.

That's a great sign for us. Hopefully he stays for another season.

Priske fired by Feyenoord today. Odd timing with their CL game this week against Milan and having won the weekend game 3-0.

I saw an article on VI saying Priske was “the new ten Hag” a few weeks ago.
It’s nuts the way these clubs fire managers. At least Ajax have resisted the urge to do it halfway through the season this time, which is a nice change.

Stupid decision but I heard that he lost control of the players for some reason.
