as expected, Japan totally dominated the field in their home K1PL stage...

 

meanwhile, among the other Nations, we had the usual very balanced spread of medals...

 

today wasn't a good day for Italy at all...

after Bottaro very close win over Ono in the women's Kata bronze medal match, first Semeraro threw away a bronze medal, losing in a very stupid and inaccurate way to the Chinese Gong (however, with Zaretska's win, it doesn't change anything in Olympic perspective...unless a real miracle happen, she has to rely only on the continental spot, if she wants to avoid the risk of the final OQT next year...I think she doesn't have any chance anymore to make the Olympics through the OQR), then Ferracuti lost badly to Uekusa (even if it was expected, it's always painful to watch a girl having such a poor outing as Clio did earlier today) and Crescenzo couldn't do anything against his nemesis, Assadilov...when he faces this Kazakh guy, he's absolutely clueless...the Asian is faster and stronger (and today he was also smarter) under any aspect of the game...

results not as good as they might look at a first view for Italy...

 

Luigi Busà, in fact, wasted a big chance to make the final, perpetuating the Italian jinx against the Kazakh fighters (also his sister Lorena lost to Serikova in the repechage round of the women's -55kg)...

 

meanwhile Angelo Crescenzo lost to :MKD Pavlov :facepalm::wall: underperforming once again against people he should beat blindfolded...and to increase the size of this disaster, :TUR Samdan is again in the big final, which he's going to win easily...

at this pace, soon the Turkish guy will overtake Crescenzo in the OQR and Italy will lose one of their spot at the Olympics (and one of the few medal chances we have), as :KAZ Assadilov is also among the safe top 3 round after round and keeps his advantage over the Italian in the OQR...

 

finally, in the women's -55kg, Sara Cardin's struggle continues...since her injury of last year, she's not anymore the same "machine" she used to be...and it's unlikely that she will be able to qualify at the final tournament if she does not find her old shape and skills...

not a day to remember for Italy...all of our guys going out early, except for Ferracuti (eventually 7th in the women's +68kg) and Semeraro, who for the 3rd time in a row lost to :CHN Gong Li in the final moments of a high scoring match that actually ended with tied score, only because of Senshu...:facepalm:

so, she has to settle for the bronze medal match once again...

Iran usually win a good number of medals in this k1 PL events but mostly by different athletes and that doesn't help the Olympic qualification but this K1 event in Moscow was almost perfect. we had 7 athletes close to the Qualification zone and all 7 of them (and nobody else from Iran) made it to the medal round :yikes: 4 for gold and 3 for bronze.

 

Poursheib (84) and Ganjzadeh (+84) will continue their battle with each other for the Olympic spot at +75kg, they both reached the final, Askari at 75kg lost to Aghayev in last 2 seconds, still that will be enough to send him to the top of the ranking. even though he is not in his best shape recently.

for the women's side, Bahmanyar will have her 2nd K1 PL final in a row, with two back to back final (and maybe 2 golds) she is already in top 2 of her weight (and top 4 for her Olympic weight) she will surpass Khaksar for now. Khaksar herself has a chance to win the bronze. even though making into top 2 at 50kg looks easier than 55kg. Rozi Alipour being in the final was surprising, she is still something like 600pts away from the top 4 but she is now the best ranked Asian female athlete. (outside of top 4)

the only disappointment was Abbasali. she lost once again to her archrival Uekusa of Japan. still a bronze will keep her in top 2 (of +68kg) but there are 3-4 athletes right next to her.

You know for some reasons that match was also "somehow" important for Iran :d if I remember correctly she didn't lost by Senshou. the Chinese received a caution in last 15 seconds (which annuls the Senshou) she lost by "Hantei"

 

this qualification system makes things a bit weird. some results in other weights help you in another weight !!! :d for example I want Semeraro to win and Ferracuti to lose :d (sorry I like all Italian athletes, this is not personal I'm sure you know why :lol:) and beside that it was important for Iran to keep the best ranked Asian athlete. Gong going to the final and probably winning the gold is not a good news for that .

 

another funny thing is I realized there is a chance for Iran to even qualify at 67kg ! how ? we simply have to hope Oceania and America qualify their continental quotas at 75kg (there is an Uzbek athlete in top 10) in that case our 67kg athlete only needs 500-600 pts to catch up 60kg Uzbek Saymatov (and also hoping for Kazakh athletes at +75kg to not get good results) isn't this extremely weird ? Australian results at 75kg will directly affect Iran's chance at 67kg :d

 

--------------------

PS:the link doesn't work for 61kg results. I just know Giana Lotfy's opponent for bronze is :SRB Jovana Prekovic

    • Only 3 teams are qualified after the 2nd round :      Today starts the 3 round : will play 2 matchs at the same time ...a true war on the field
    • Barp and Pellegrino OK today. Graz was in the top 30 until the 8th km, but weakened significantly and now has no points – not good. Carollo's performance today was completely incomprehensible for me, but it's typical for Italians skier in recent years, apart maybe from Pellegrino, sameone can finish 9-10th in one day and then 50th the next day. De Fabiani? I don't think he'll ever return to even a decent level.   Korostelev has probably already received some new vitamins? Maybe Cramer could get us something too for us, to be able to scare Nor more seriously
    • Assuming Bergsma is pre-nominated for the mass-start (place 1 in The Matrix), there are currently 7 names in the matrix.   If everything goes according to expectations, this will grow to 9. In the 1000 metres the favorites are De Boo/Wennemars/Nuijs/Prins and in the 1500 metres the last three riders. It could even be limited to 8, in the unlikely event that van de Bunt qualifies in the 1500. There is precedent there: in 2001 OKT Uytdehaage won the 5000/10.000 metres as an outsider, and also qualified for the mile, as the favorites choked. He was dismissed as a lost opportunity on the very fast Salt Lake City track, but to everyone’s surpise managed to win a silver medal. But from his interview yesterday it’s clear that van de Bunt does not expect to qualify for the games in this event, it’s his ticket to the coming All Round championships (qualification based on 1500/5000 metres times).   But it could get very messy, when 1 or 2 outsiders manage to qualify.

    • The Colorado Springs Athletic Center will be closed to foreigners in 2028 to protect Americans at the Olympic Games Michael Phelps disagrees with the decision   The US Olympic Committee will no longer allow foreign swimmers to use the Colorado Springs Athletic Center, but only in 2028, to protect the interests of American swimmers ahead of the Olympics.   CEO Kevin Ring revealed that there is a rule prohibiting foreign swimmers from entering the high-performance center starting in 2028.   This is due to several reports and complaints received by USA Swimming, highlighting how US coaches are working with foreign swimmers to beat Americans on their home turf, at their own Olympics.   In 2029, after the California Olympics, the doors of the athletic center are expected to reopen to foreigners, but with much higher rates than the current ones ($125/night).   Michael Phelps, who had previously criticized the US Swimming Federation along with Ryan Lochte, has also intervened in the matter.   During the World Championships in Singapore: "What are our real goals? I grew up training with all athletes, including foreigners. We've never discriminated against anyone in our team."   Phelps was coached by Bob Bowman (who recently completed a 24-day training camp with his team, composed primarily of foreign swimmers), and therefore defends his mentor and the team's philosophy.   USA Swimming also emphasized that other high-performance sports centers (such as the one in Flagstaff, Arizona) will have no difficulty hosting training camps for foreign national teams who request them.   The issue of foreign swimmers in the US is becoming very sensitive in light of America's dominance, which has significantly weakened in recent years (recall when in Omaha, during the 2008 and 2012 trials, Dave Salo secretly coached Japan's Kitajima, at different times than the American swimmers on his team).   Is the "America first" philosophy a new form of protectionism in swimming too?   Meanwhile, foreign athletes help colleges win and make money in the NCAA system.   Colorado Springs's view, therefore, seems hypocritical, opportunistic, and arrogant.     from an Italian Swimming blog, related to a Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper's journalist
    • Dutch track championships these days: - Tokyo BMX Olympic champion Niek Kimmann at the start of the sprint event, making a rookie mistake in the 200 metres qualifying, by misjudging the finish line: - Lorena Wiebes winning the Keirin, beating European champion Steffie van der Peet. She has no plans to add this number to her international program, but it shows her immense sprinting abilities.
    • The unanimous opinion is that Leerdam will be nominated for the 1000 metres, apparantly even among the coaches.   As I understand it, this means she will take Kok’s 1000 metres spot in the matrix (place 5), Kok will take the Schulting place (7, but of course she’s allready in through the 500 metres) and Schulting will be relegated to Verkerk’s spot, number 15 and last. This will only be a problem if there are 9 skaters before her, which seems unlikely. Currently there are 7 names in the matrix. If the last two races will go to form, at most 2 names will be added (possibly Rijpma-De Jong in the 1500 metres, and less likely In t Hof or Kerkhoff in the 5000.) Only if the last two both qualify, we will get to 10 names, and then Schulting is out. There is a chance that it will remain at 7 names. That would need for Kok to qualify for the 1500 metres, which seems unlikely where it not for the fact that she owns the track record for that distance. In that case expect Rijpma to be added for the team pursuit and Kerkhoff for the mass start.
