Kickboxing WAKO Central American and Caribbean Championships 2019

Using the season's best of each athlete from the entry list I have calculated a projected points calculation for the 2nd Division.   Obviously this is full of caveats due to the fact some athletes are just starting their seasons, some season's best will have been vastly improved since the entry list was released earlier this week and some strong athletes have no seasons best yet and thus their points will not reflect their true potential. Also I did not include the 3 relay events either. Nevertheless I thought it would be nice to calculate it and share.   Rank  Nation Pts 1   Belgium 407 2   Norway 384 3   Turkey 358 4   Slovenia 340 5   Ireland 333 6   Romania 307 7   Croatia 304 8   Austria 277 8   Slovakia 277 10   Denmark 267 11   Estonia 257 12   Israel 248 13   Serbia 239 14   Cyprus 230 15   Bulgaria 207 16   Latvia 189     Belgium should have enough to take the title and Norway should be comfortably in the promotion spots. There might be a decent battle for the third promotion spot and with Slovenia at home they are likely to outperform expectations and could really challenge Turkey for promotion. On paper Ireland are in the mix too especially as the relays are not included in this projection and Ireland will be among the strongest teams in the relay events. But I think we'd need to be on our A-game to earn a shot at promotion and I think it might be just beyond them this time.  

blew a 13-9 lead in the 5th set to     Why am I not surprised 

2 blocks in a row for  Smrek 

Not too surprising in basketball. Many new girls arrived in both sports, older ones were mainly on bench when medals were won.  Head coach issued a warning that this will happen back in 2021. And it came. Volleyball is another story. Serbia was among top teams regularly since 2006. Even though this still isnt the best possible team, defeats only are very worring.

As long as we don’t get relegated, I’ll be fine with anything.
