How are the :POL doing?, because to be honest I didn't have time to look at sporting events on the weekend. @Olympian1010

Good wouldn’t be a word I’d use for their performances so far. Your girls made the Beach Handball quarterfinals, and your men are still in the Beach Volleyball 4x4 tournament. Besides that, it’s been a games to forget for Polish athletes. Maybe they were too concerned about the election, or something else? Who knows? Just not good performances though.

Looking at the frame we sent there, it was my greatest hope in beach handball.  Most of the staff that went to this event are anonymous for the outside viewer.

There are actually quite a few big names in every sport. This event just isn’t big internationally yet. I recognize quite a few of the athletes from the World Games 2017, African Beach Games 2019, and Mediterranean Beach Games 2019.

:BLR becomes the first country without beaches to win a gold medal at the World beach games (they also pick up a bronze).

 

Sliver for :FIN

I honestly don't follow these beach games with great interest.  I know a few names from The World Games 2017 in Wroclaw

    • The last time this happened - all three athletes on the podium had zero podiums before - was Les Saisies sprint in December 1990: Uschi Disl, Elena Melnikova (future Sergei Tchepikov's wife) & Kerstin Moring. The latter two never finished on the World Cup podium again. This was also the race where Disl became the second youngest World Cup winner ever (currently down to third because of Neuner).
    • In general almost all Fisi sports have been doing terribly this season. One debacle after another and the Colturi case completes the scale of embarrassment. Apart from single star like Goggia, Brignone or Pellegrino, only the alpine snowboard looks good.
    • Unfortunately the Italian men's team is poorly prepared for the season. Everyone is in terrible shooting form. Somewhere a mistake was made in the preparations. We are recording a big regression compared to the previous season. It`s becoming more and more likely that we will not stand on the podium even once this season (I can't remember the last time something like that happened). In the Nations Cup we are in 6th place and we may lose 6 starting places in the World Cup from next season. I`m increasingly worried about what will happen in the Olympic season. Without Vittozzi returning to top form, we completly will not count.    In general our entire winter season looks very bad: biathlon as above, cross-country skiing - still only Pellegrino, luge - poor form, alpine skiing without Goggia and Brignone doesn`t exist.
    • how is hell , 3 dead they say ..i dont believe it  
    • A few updates from the IFA after last month's Board of Directors meeting.   Looks like there will be no host quota for  China at the 2025 World Games. This is surprising after the IFA went to Chengdu last year to put on a clinic. No doubt that given a year  China has the resources and athletes to field a team that would be competitive in the placement matches.    Namibia will replace  China on the women's side. While  will replace  on the men's side.     Namibia finished 8th at the last Women's World Championships, while  New Zealand finished 11th at the 2023 Men's World Championship.     
    • Once again our snow luck holds!  Rain & melt yesterday turn into a beautiful fresh fall overnight!  
    • WR track cycling quotas MTP, MTS, WTP: WTS:   Now  is unlikely to use them, so we shall see.
    • This will be dangerous for qualification of 2nd man and 2nd woman to the Olympics?
    • medal avalanche 24-25 continues!  Bronze today.
    • My first girlfriend was Brazilian, and I already had an interest in winter sports...then I kind of started paying attention to Brazilian winter athletes and long story short, a few years after the relationship ended I started dating a Brazilian winter athlete and here we are, more than 7 years later, living in our home and figuring everything out towards the Olympics
