It was the 49'ers in 2008:
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-08/18/content_9480185.htm
"The Danish team were protested by the Race Committee for sailing the medal race in a boat borrowed from the Croat crew, who were not competing in the medal race, after the mast on the Danish 49er snapped shortly before the start, according to the International Sailing Federation (ISAF).
[...]
"We're happy about how it turned out. Our mast broke 20 minutes before the competition and we thought we weren't going to make it. We were lucky in that we borrowed the Croatian's boat and got to the start line five seconds before the horn," said Jonas Warrer."

Belive me. Czech sounds really funny to Poles. Russian (and probably other east slavic languages) and Croatian also (Croatian is my second language so many years back i didn't spoke Croatian). Now for me (as born and raised in polish society), Croatian is very Normal, Russian mystical and interesting and Czech is... still funniest :) but when I listen to Nohavica i understand it's also normal and really interesting, "deep"(?) and beautiful. All slavic languages have their own spirit. Sorry for my english.

just a tip: probably the telenovelas shown in your country aint spanish but from Venezuela or Mexico, no spanish telenovelas as far as i know
so, if you wanna learn spanish, you will learn it with south american accent : PP
entendiste mi amol? :PP

In Poland people called those telenovelas "Brazilian telenovelas" never mind is that in portugese or spanish. Only sentence i remember from telenovelas which describe all of them is: "porque"..."porque Alehandro?" sayin this sentence i feel all emotions typical for "brazilian" telenovelas... love, hate, intrigue, death, sex... you know, crazy DRAMA thing from South America with big boobs, asses, guns and money :P
yeah, this are both series from Spain. But as PoljskiHrvat said, telenovelas is a kind of serie in wich you can see a lot of love drama mixed with really beautifull chicks. Like :here you can see the problems of millionarie people xD
For me is Croatian most understandable. Russian and Polish are to quick.
I just had my vacantion in Jordan two weeks ago.
