16 nations with at least a medal is a new record, the previous one was 15. First ever medal for Georgia, and Belgium back on the podium after 71 years.

 

Belgian sport seems very much on the rise. Maybe, 10 medals+ in on the table for Paris ? That would be a first... since Paris 1924.

Reply to Phelps on his take on Women's Foil in 2022 Cairo Senior Worlds:  You said the "not exactly phenomenal [USA flag]Maia Weintraub". Maybe it's your English and what you are actually saying but "not exactly phenomenal" is so far from the truth of the matter.

ANYWAY,

Maia Weintraub is pretty phenomenal -- she is a teenager beating the more experienced Alice Volpi, the professional fencer.  It was such a phenomenal win that even FIE news report talked about it in its article on the winners.  Who reports on a T32 match unless it is phenomenal !! FIE said: In individual women’s foil, Thibus faced Italian two-time world champion Arianna Errigo in the final match, winning with a 15-10 score. Errigo won against USA’s Olympic champion Lee Kiefer in the semifinal round, 15-14, while Thibus defeated Romania’s Maria Boldor, 15-3. Of note, USA’s Maia Mei Weintraub beat Italian world champion Alice Volpi in the round of 32, 15-13.  [BOOM!]

I confirm what I wrote...Weintraub is a good and promising youngster, but she's far from being "pretty phenomenal"...

 

if you look for those kind of fencers, look at Lauren Scruggs (who was not in the US team at this world championship, luckily for all the other Nations)...

 

and among those younger than Weintraub, I can name at least 5 or 6 girls that are way better at the moment (I don't forsee the future...I only talk of today)...

 

the fact that she won against a limited (and poorly performing) Volpi doesn't matter...in fencing, it's quite normal having upsets at any tournament...

    • People keep keep saying that Trump is Hitler reincarnated, but all these Day 1 proposals are sensible & unifying.   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=08IIenrXCRQ     NB video is a parody.  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW.
