I don't think so...

 

Tsunoda is a great player, Scutto is the future...and a couple of big names (Tonaki included) had a bad day, which made the bottom half of the draw look "easy" for people who normally don't make the podium in the global events.

 

But the overall level wasn't cheap at all. ;)

 

p.s. the fact that some medals weren't easily predictable is only a plus for the sport, it shows that also the stars of the game can lose against mid-ranking players if they are not at 100% (or don't take them too seriously).

 

There are always two strong japanese in 48kg and I don't doubt your opinion about the italian but compare that to the depth of the previous olympic cycle.... 

 

I mean, Menz taking a silver? The chilean making it to a medal match?

no real surprise today among the medallists...

 

and also the expected super-fight between Hifumi Abe and Maruyama was somehow disappointing, with Abe always in control and his rival never showing any true chance of upsetting the Olympic Champion.

if it wasn't for the beautiful counter that decided the fight, I'd call the match "modest" (especially compared to the previous matches between those 2).

Menz (and Vargas Ley) this time were just lucky to take advantage of an unbalanced draw and of Tonaki's bad day (and not only hers).

 

But this doesn't mean that this specific weight class is so different from the recent past.

 

I mean, outside Japan, there have always been 3/4 competitors above the average (in the last few years they were Pareto, Krasniqi, Galbadrakh and Bilodid...now they are Boukli, Scutto, the new Kazakh representative and partially Nikolic, Costa and Figueroa) plus a bunch of 2nd tier girls that on a given day could win a not so predictable medal...and now it's more or less the same, most likely we even have more depth at the just-below-the-top level than before, we only lack a bright talent like Bilodid as the main opponent of the Japanese domination.

Very inconstient Shido Call since Day 1 ... 

 

I'd say biased if not truly "political" calls (and not only of "shido")...

 

in particular, Mrs. Babiuc isn't absolutely making a single call fair to the athletes from certain Nations (what she did to Giuffrida against Krasniqi yesterday was just not acceptable at any level...she shouldn't be an international ref anymore*).

 

*ps let's make it clear...Krasniqi is stronger and most likely she would win in any case, but at least we deserved to watch a good match between 2 Olympic medallists...and that lady made it impossible.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
