LagutaRacingFan Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 If Gorzow win at Czestochowa with the bonus point, the league could get very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BartoszZmarzlikFan Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Woffy bet done for after that race. This could be a cricket score because only Chugunov is going well for Wroclaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BartoszZmarzlikFan Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Heat 8 has to be Janowski & Woffy instead of Fricke & Berntzon and the last throw of the dice for Wroclaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawel115 Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 6 hours ago, RobMcCaffery said: Bear in mind the Russian names are translations from the Russian script, cyrillic, so there is no official spelling in our alphabet. We convert to how we would spell the names and the Poles their way. Their w is a v sound so what we would call Victor would be Wiktor in Polish, and something looking totally different but sounding pretty much the same n Russian. Going back over the years the English translations have varied. Take Grigori Chlinovsky, aka Grigory Khlinovsky. Likewise Grigori/Grigory/Grigorij Laguta. The problem gets more complex with Latvia where two alphabets are in use, Russian and Latvian so an ethnic Russian's name in his own language may be Andrei Lebedev (check the back of his kevlars) or Andzejs Lebedevs in Latvian! In English we have very few accents over or under letters like the e in cafe. Other languages have many. I don't want to wrestle with the keyboard too much but taking the Antonio Lindback case. The a in Lindback in Swedish has a double dot accent over the a, known in German as an umlaut, making his name phonetically closer to Lindbeck. In English we don't use that accent so we usually add an e to the vowel, hence the occasional use of Lindbaeck. The English alphabet isn't flexible to accommodate all these accents, usually applied to vowels to change their sounds. We compromise, and in so doing often get the pronunciation of foreign names very wrong. A y in Swedish is usually pronounced more like ew or a g like a y. The Poles don't just mess with vowels which is why Lech Walesa's name is pronounced Vawensa and Lodz as Woodz. In both cases the l has a bar across it, changing it to w. How do you cope? Compromise. We convert foreign names to our alphabet as best as we can and the pronunciations accordingly. Other nations do the same. I remember being amused at the 1982 Intercontinental Final at Vetlanda announcer refer to Kelly Moron. Well, he as many things, but not that.... It works in reverse. The Russians don't use the letter h so to get close to that sound they use a mix of x and i. I learned this when I covered ice racing n Russia using a programme obviously written in Russian and with the names similarly treated. It took a while to find Jarmo Hirvasoja..... So, it's all compromise in adjusting from one alphabet to another. Our lack of accents being used with vowels helps make English a tricky language to learn. Just a final one, Google Translate can offer some interesting translations. Dawid/Wiktor Leopard (Lampart) , Rafal Innkeeper (Karczmarz), Pawel Month (Miesiac). Oh and speedway to Zuzel, or .....Slag....... Hope this makes sense. Also bear in mind that there is no V in polish alphabet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartoszZmarzlikFan Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Much needed break and team talk needed for Wroclaw. Gorzow could hit 60 at this rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Woffy's gating has been truly appalling for the past season and a half at least.. Miss gate, then blast around the boards is his regular tactic these days.. Great to watch when it comes off, but against top riders regularly hitting the first turn third or fourth wont deliver much success.. I would suggest he is maybe just still in the Top 10 in the world but not in the very top echelon anymore.. Bikes and talent still good enough, but starting simply miles off.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
