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 :)

    • It's true, but Colturi still only 1 person and for example in the men's slalom we have tragic results. In giant slalom again we last won many years ago. For example, Switzerland has a complete team, which has not only stars but also wide teams in every discipline + young successors.   Scattolo is an option after 2026. For now, all that remains is to count on Vittozzi's return - apart from her, no one is able to regularly stand on the podium.
    • That was the IBU Cup winner spot, guaranteed for the first two weeks (won by Michelon last year). Galmace Paulin will definitely not get a spot in January. If someone has to be demoted, it would be Chauveau, to make room for Botet. Galmace Paulin is like 5th or 6th in the pecking order at the moment.
    • Maybe Galmace Paulin can take The Spot of Richard, Michelon or Chauveau later this season. In Hochfilzen France Had 7 Spots, not sure What happened. If The french Team can get Back that Spot, then Galmace Paulin should be The First candidate.   Tannheimer, Michelon, Richard, Kirkeeide and Andersson are all more likely than Not To make The Podium this Season in my opinion. With a bit of luck, half The Top 10 in The Overall Ranking at The end of The Season could be athletes born in 2002 or later.
    • Biathlon: I think your Coaches should promote Scattolo.  Alpine skiing: Things Would Look very different if Colturi would Compete for You.  
    • It also appears 1 noc has withdrawn   https://oca.asia/news/5781-harbin-2025-awg-organisers-confirm-record-number-of-entries.html
    • If my figures are correct, I confirm that this is the international debut in top-level competition for Turkmenistan, Kuwait and Thailand. i believe it is also the debut in a senior competition for Mongolia
    • The Youth Olympic Games have used the group format before due to a large number of entries. The 2023 Winter EYOF also used a two group format in the mixed team event.   Still, it's cool to see so many nations registered for the Asian Winter Games. 
    • Stage 10 in Alta Badia (ITA)   Men´s Slalom:   1. Timon Haugan    1:45.40 2. Loic Meillard    1:46.53 3. Atle Lie McGrath    1:46.66   Full Final Results HERE
