After historic gold medals for :FRA and :GRE , historic gold medals today for :GER and :SLO .

Take Russia and Belarus out of the picture and look where we are now. Amazing!

Wow, Sofia Raffaeli scores a 34.900 in the circle (despite not perfect trajectories)! I think it's one of the highest scores of the season

It's been a long time since I commented about the World Cup series.

With :RUS and :BLR out of the picture, we now have twenty nations with medals at the World Cup/World Challenge Cup circuit. This is unprecedented! And there's still one stage to go where :ROU will host and, in history, Romania has always won medals on home soil. We shall see.

The biggest surprises after my last post were:

1) Gold medal for :MEX , a country which had never earned medals before. And they got a bronze medal too.

2) Bronze medal for :BRA . This was only our second medal at the World Cup series in 39 years.

3) A bronze medal for :ARG , something I thought would not be possible even in one million years. Amazing achievement! This is even more unexpected than my previous take for "most unexpected medal at the World Cup series", the one for :EST in 2018.
