Finally we have someone after Teja Gregorin. 

The rest of the team could match these performances soon. Polona Klemenčič is establishing herself as a more than decent skier, 15th ski time today, almost getting points while shooting at 7 ... 

Of course Repinc is a star in the making, but when will she make her individual debut in the WC ? Then you have Zorc, K.Vindisar, with Z.Klemenčič doing the job.

All - WOW!  I was able to be at the Pursuits yesterday.  The only way to relate the atmosphere in Le Grand Bornand is a football/soccer match.  I was on the course, and when Julia Simon and Eric Perro

Laegreid and Simon both tested positive on Covid-19. Laegreid will definitely miss the races this weekend, Simon is unsure.

You know,i can ignore our women being god awful on most days,it's really more irritating when you see an Estonian female in the top 20,and it doesn't seem like anyone is coming up from the youth or juniors here either.

I'm plenty optimistic when it comes to the guys[or as of right now mainly one guy],but these are just facts,Our women are just not good at this,optimism does not fix this,one of them is literally the stepdaughter of the federations president,i'm not claiming corruption btw,there's no one even really in the ibu cup level that could be brought up.The situation with the younger guys even if not ultra promising is much better.

Oh well what a race!! I was missing Sola and Alimbekava for this WC and Lampic was the only reason I was excited for today hoping for top 10 or top20. But from Stina Nilsson i was unsure if I am expecting way too much. But yeah after supporting Lampic for cross country skiing it's now time to support her in biathlon. It just makes the world cup more exciting. Lampic will make up for Belarussian absence partly. Hopefully Finland or some other nation can add more spice even a quarter of what Russia used to do would be fine

Alimbekava came second in the russian cup sprint today.

She's in Hochfilzen and will start in the relay. So far Živa is ahead of her in the running order. But she will no doubt get her chance this year. If not sooner than in  Pokljuka at the very least.

Well, I think points with a 7/10 is maybe a bit far-fetched. She impressed in IBU Cup, skiing-wise, that's for sure, but the field was not as strong as usual. It was more or less a very strong Junior Cup. Without the Russians and with most of the Norwegian B-team in WC, only the Germans were fielding their "journeywomen", who are not the fastest out there. 

My call is she will be within 30-50s of the best ski time today. Considering her pedestrian shooting speed (44s in Idre) it's like she's starting with only 9 bullets, so "6/10" would be short of the top 40.

Solid take ...

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

      Fencing FIE World Cup 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.

      Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't.

      Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.

      Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.

      No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal.

      Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?

      Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.

      No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
