Historic day yesterday with  stunning  3-2 in a 7 hour thriller.    After An Se Young lost was not sure about that could happen but both the doubles players were magnificent. So was Sim Yuji

A miracle that we haven't seen a major injury looking at how slippery it is!

First Thomas Cup medal for us. 

 

The thing that impressed me the most yesterday was how close all 8 the teams are. On a given day, any of the 8 teams could defeat the others. I would put :INA as slight favourites but honestly anything is possible. 

 

Another interesting tidbit. We had same QF matchups :INA vs :CHN, :JPN vs :TPE and :KOR vs :DEN in both Thomas Cup and Uber Cup. In 4th QF, it was :IND vs :THA/:MAS. And except :JPN which defeated :TPE twice, rest all QFs were split giving us 7 different medallists.

:INA vs :IND  for Thomas Cup final.. Would you believe it if anyone says this before the start of Thomas Cup

Not sure about the finals but many experts had predicted India as the dark horse in the tournament with semi final potential. I think if the same tournament happens next week a we would see a different set of results, that's how close all teams are unlike uber cup. 

 

Considering we didn't make semis for a long time final felt too much to aim for suddenly . 

 

On last day of group stages I was hoping we don't face China or Denmark especially China. All 3 singles players have been troubled by that Chinese trio recently and Denmark looked very good on paper didn't know that Antonsen has been finding Bangkok so tough. When Malaysia beat Japan I was secretly hoping it would be India vs Malaysia in QF , or at worst India v Indonesia , the 2 teams I was most confident about ; not because of the BWF Preview that mentioned about India-Indonesia being a tie to watch out for if it happens but the fact that Minnions  as a pair weren't there. 

 

So we eked out in QF and SF with MS 2 &3 and MD1.  Would prefer to see Arjun/Dhruv for MD 2 on Sunday unless one of them is injured. Moreover if Sen doesn't win MS1 this should go down as rather disappointing tournament for him and by the looks of it I'm not sure if i should expect anything from him at all.

      Pretty crazy, just imagine if they won the World Baseball Classic (though personally I equate the two pretty closely).

      WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.

      Alpine Skiing FIS World Cup 2024 - 2025

      Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...

      Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
