Aries Posted Monday at 09:55 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 09:55 AM (edited) Must admit my heart skipped a beat when I read the word “fatal” there!! Edited Monday at 09:56 AM by Aries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PersonalResponsibility Posted Monday at 09:57 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 09:57 AM (edited) 4 minutes ago, TTT said: As in me or the person that's written the Polish article? Fatal has a different meaning in Poland, and obviously when it's translated it's even more stark. It's probably best to edit your post to avoid any alarm when everyone first reads it. The article/update is quite concerning it has to be said. Hopefully Tai can pull through with 'just' broken bones, but the fact they won't be releasing an update is in itself worrying.

Correct foreverblue, I used Google Translate to post the Polish article on here for those that don't follow news from the Polish Speedway sites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelinho Posted Monday at 10:00 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 10:00 AM 2 minutes ago, TTT said: As in me or the person that's written the Polish article? The polish article yesterday used the word "fatalny", which doesn't necessarily translate to "fatal" in English. That's where the alarm came from. People always need to be careful with translation, and I think Polish is quite tricky to accurately translate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted Monday at 10:01 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 10:01 AM 29 minutes ago, Tinker said: Beat me to it Steve. British Speedway takes a fair amount of criticism including the state/condition of certain tracks etc but as you say, most of the bad accidents happen in Poland. Chasing the dollar and under pressure to perform on big fast tracks. Also seem to be a lot of inexperienced young riders on rocket ships too eager to mix it. Think a lot of inexperienced young riders on rocket ships is big factor in a lot of bad crashes in Poland.Unfortunately. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted Monday at 10:05 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 10:05 AM (edited) I've now edited the article, Let me know if you want me to adjust anymore of it as I'm more than happy to do so. Also I wouldn't recommend anyone to use Google Translate when keeping an eye on Tai's recovery as it's clearly not a good app and it could leave fans fearing the worst.

LagutaRacingFan Posted Monday at 10:32 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 10:32 AM (edited) The good news is that this doesn't appear to be as serious as Ward's tragic accident. I remember that fateful evening, we were told immediately by Polish media that Ward had lost feeling in his legs, and my heart sank. Thankfully, this doesn't appear to be the case with Woffinden.

PersonalResponsibility Posted Monday at 10:45 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 10:45 AM There's a further 'update' on Sportowefakty.wp.pl. https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/1180927/mamy-najnowsze-informacje-po-koszmarnym-wypadku-w-nocy-zawodnik-trafil-na-sale-o Most importantly - if accurate, hopefully - is this: From well-informed sources, we also know about several broken ribs, a fractured elbow in many places, and fractured vertebrae in the spine. Fortunately, the head and spinal cord were not injured. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it similar to people who feel the need to declare they aren’t a fan of a certain rider before wishing them well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just trying to manipulate a distasteful pile on instead of realising the obvious. I too was feeling sick to my stomach after reading the translation as I don't understand a word of Polish so I ask for all articles to be translated by Google and those were the words that it produced for me. As a British person, I wasn't to know that some Polish words have different meanings to them, Only someone who speaks fluent Polish and English would know that. After I was made aware, I then altered the article and said that I'd be happy to make any further adjustments if needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
