so far, the usual suspects I'd say...if it wasn't for that Gold & Silver for Great Britain :yikes:

 

1) Germany winning medals in women’s epee and women’s Sabre is very „unusual“.

2) Germany winning as many individual medals as Italy is very very unusual.

3) Russia only winning 1 individual medal might be the biggest surprise in the history of sports.

 

From a german perspective: The gold for Heathcock was expected, he is the biggest German talent since Leonie Ebert (who has been very disappointing for the past 2 or 3 years).

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

1) c'mon! Germany winning medals in women's epee is not that unusual, maybe it doesn't happen as often as in the past, but it's still pretty regular...

however, I meant only that there were no new/surprising Nations winning the most medals, except for GBR (not looking at all at how many medals the "usual suspects" -ITA, FRA, RUS, HUN...even GER- won)...it wasn't an accurate analysis wepon by weapon...

 

2) considering what happened to our youth sports programs (especially in "contact sports") since the beginning of the pandemic, unfortunately that's gonna happen very often in the future...:cry:

Italian perspective in Fencing has really changed in the last few seasons...right now, we're not even close to the talent factory we used to be...

 

3) considering the current situation, I'm more surprised they're competing at this event rather than they're not winning that much (and in general, coming the current generation close to an end and without Cerioni and his crew not working anymore for them, I expect Russian Foil -especially the women- to get results not even comparable to their golden era of the last decade)...

tell me this is a joke! :yikes:

 

that must be a joke! :hairpull:

 

OK...that's beyond my resilience...I just give up...:stop:

Reportedly, other countries'federations had also agreed to not show up if they were to face Russia. And then Russia retired in the middle of the competition, just before the semis. :rolleyes:

    • 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.
