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

    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
