I have to agree with @vinipereira... Russia's first exercise was all about their great technical level, but that performance didn't deserve such a high score. Again "Mamma Viner" threatened to hang the judges if they didn't make sure that Russia sweept the gold medals.

 

Loved Italy (despite their disgusting "tiger" outfits), Bulgaria (with that terrible error in their second routine) & Ukraine (too bad they couldn't be on the podium). Also enjoyed Hungary's "Wonder Woman" exercise :yes

 

As usual, American RG director also bought their girls a better score that they actually deserve;  their 3x-2x exercise was juvenile and rather cheesy from the start; hope judges won't favor them 2 weeks from now in the PanAm championships. 

 

But what really gave another reason to celebrate today (Mexico's independence day that is) is the performance of our group. They have grown so much, and their hoops routine for me is among the best ones in the world, only lacking more difficulty; as for their mixed apparatus, this is probably the first time I've watched them avoid major mistakes and they got rewarded finishing 9th in that routine and in the all around standings. :clap:

Finally gold for Bulgaria at the last day of the championships :clap: I managed to visit Friday and Saturday competition and the atmosphere was great. Time to move now to volleyball. Three world championships in Bulgaria at the same time is a tough program to manage :)

    • Yep. Not sure if it was the NOC or the biathlon federation (I assume the latter) that put him in the Livigno training 'world' with a former Italian biathlete as coach, but they can definitely also be blamed:  almost everyone involved in that shitshow got the motivation just sucked out of them by the methods and shitty atmosphere until they either retired or changed country

    • Lots of injuries, including often just pure bad-luck stuff like a fall from a set of stairs, illness, and of course the Sochi tragedy in 2014: one of her biathlon friends, young Julia Pieper, killed herself with a biathlon rifle early during the Olympics (she wasn't on the team, but was a training partner of both Preuss and Dahlmeier). Obviously a hard hit, which led to terrible Olympics for Preuss, with a DNF, awful results in her other individual races and a relay where she was the first runner for Germany, but fell early on, got snow in her rifle and broke a pole and ended up losing almost 3 minutes, which in turn resulted in Germany being off the podium for the first time ever.   After that came all the injuries and illness and everything. So glad to finally see her have her big individual global gold, that is so well deserved.
    • Dave Ryding's Sixth was the best from a  man since 1934!  We actually have two Women's Golds in the 1930s.
    • first win for the Italian men's relay since 2007      very good Home stage for us   if only the organizers didn't set the finals sessions at 2 p.m. (especially on Saturday), there would have been a lot more spectators on the seats
