A short quote from the classics: “Imagine a tribe that is condemned to live in a deep cave. Its members have shackles on their legs and arms that prevent them from moving. Several generations have been born in this cave, the only source of knowledge for which are faint reflections of light and muffled sounds reaching their senses from the surface.

Now imagine what these people know about life outside?

And so one of them took off his shackles and reached the entrance to the cave. He saw the sun, trees, amazing animals, birds soaring in the sky. Then he returned to his tribesmen and told them about what he had seen. Will they believe him? Or will they consider more reliable that gloomy picture of the underworld that they see with their own eyes all their lives?” (Plato’s philosophical parable)

We’re finished! The leaders of the federation began to bring their children’s toys as prizes! And this is not a joke!

Imagine, the champion of Riga got a Baby Boomerang for the first place! Bingo! And the multiple champion of Latvia, hiding her prize behind the diploma in the photo, received it….Attention! – A children’s Scrabble game! This is a fiasco, bro! The leaders of the federation have finally moved on. From the place…. to my childhood

Already out of habit children go to school in the summer. Adults also peek in there. After all, school has become their home, and the gym replaces dumbbells and cycling. Draughts players love school…. and summer.

The Latvian championship among boys and girls in the U-8 group ended without sensations and surprises. All the leaders confirmed their status and won without any problems.

Taking a change of shoes out of habit and enjoying the gym for the 50th time a year, the Latvian draughts players went to the village. After all, according to the management replacement shoes are much more important than the world and European championships.
