Indoor U18 and U20 Baltic Team Championships are ongoing, Lithuanians broke six age group records today:

 

Adas Dambrauskas - 60m - 6.82 - U17 record

Danielius Vasiliauskas - 60m - 6.99 - U16 record

Lukas Sutkus - 400m - 49.29 - U18 record

Nikodemas Laurynas - Pole Vault - 4.75 - U18 record, U18 & U19 indoor records

 

Also, Lithuanians won all four sprints, might be a rebirth of Lithuanian sprinters, which has been very much missed since Sakalauskas, Grinčikaitė and Tamošaitytė era.

 

The second day is on Saturday with 200m, 800m, 3000m, high jump, triple jump and a mixed 400m relay.

Balkan Indoor Championships commentator was calling Slovenian athletes "Slovakians" :d @hckošice

Still nothing to the shock I got once surfing on the web and read about the new Slovak basketball world super star, you can imagine my surprise, so I obviously tried to learn more about that Slovak named Luka Doncic I do believe, sadly he looks never played for his native country though

 

Have not unfortunately enough time to find that news now :(

 

so just a random video, when you click on google Doncic - Slovakia

It's funny because Kobe was a long time teammate with Sasha "the machine" Vujačić. He even learned some slovenian words because of him.

Will Piotr Lisek not be nominated? According to the Road to Belgrade tracker on WA, he achieved the entry standard last year. Of course I don't know if there is an additional requirement from the Polish athletics federation for him to have jumped at least 5.81m in the 2022-season?

He said today, after winning gold medal in national champioships, jumping 5.61, that he doesn't want go to Belgrade just for being a "tourist" as he feel that he doesn't have form yet, with hope that in summer everything will be back to normal.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
