Polish Luge Federation hires bobsledder Dawid Kupczyk as national coach

The Polish Luge Federation has appointed five-time Winter Olympian bobsledder Dawid Kupczyk as head coach of the senior national team. Athletes are baffled by the decision: "It looks like we'll be teaching the coach luge, which is probably not the point," said doubles slider Wojciech Chmielewski. The choice has drawn widespread ridicule from the sporting community.

Should a bobsledder be appointed as head coach of the national luge team?

Poland's sanitary inspectorate recalls grated cheese after dangerous bacteria found

Poland's Chief Sanitary Inspectorate (GIS) has issued a warning and recalled two batches of grated cheese. A dangerous bacterium was detected in one batch, while the producer voluntarily withdrew the second due to it being made under similar technological and time conditions. The inspectorate's statement did not specify the brand or the exact bacterium identified.

Should the GIS always name the brand when recalling food products?

CI Games CEO: Releasing GTA 6 disc-free is "unfair" but financially inevitable

Marek Tymiński, CEO of CI Games, has spoken out against the gaming industry's shift away from physical media, calling a potential disc-free GTA 6 release "unfair" to players. He acknowledged, however, that from a financial standpoint, dropping physical editions is an obvious choice for publishers. The future of disc-based game releases looks increasingly bleak.

Is releasing major games exclusively in digital format unfair to players?

New Expedition to Create 3D Digital Twins of Scott's and Shackleton's Polar Shipwrecks

A new expedition will create 3D digital twin scans of the wrecks of Robert Falcon Scott's ship "Terra Nova" and Ernest Shackleton's ship "Quest," both tied to the race to the South Pole. Neither Scott nor Shackleton was first to reach the pole — that honour went to Roald Amundsen. The project aims to digitally preserve these historic vessels for future research and public access.

Is creating digital twins of historic shipwrecks a better way to preserve them than physical conservation?

Residents and medical students protest against amendment to Poland's Medical Profession Act

Medical residents and students in Poland are protesting against a planned amendment to the Medical Profession Act. On social media they argue that the Health Ministry's proposals effectively dictate when female doctors should have children, tying maternity to specific career stages such as internships or specialisation. Critics say the law infringes on women doctors' reproductive autonomy.

Does the amendment to the Medical Profession Act violate female doctors' rights?
