Didn't like the comment of MF about Pidruchnyi on French TV ...

When asked about the winner (the interviewer raised obvious doubts, shame on him) he responded "congrats to him, until proven otherwise" :mumble:

1) He shouldnt have said it publicly.

2) I think we all feel the same about Pidruchnyi.

3) He will never get caught, considering how IBU is dealing with doping.

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

Like none of these athletes care about the politics. They couldn't recognize Odessa from Omsk anyway.

 

 

It could have been worse if we had a male Kuzmina out there so a Russian competing under a different flag with those kind of results. Since Shipullin has retired I guess MF needs to find a new punchbag. Might as well be Loginov and/or Pidruchnyi. It doesn't surprise me a lot.

Wasnt Loginov banned for 2 years before? Would make it a completely different story imo ...

Yes he was but if Justin Gatlin got a third chance then why we should object to Loginov getting a second? :mumble:Lifetime bans after one-time offense isn't gonna happen no matter what MF says.

Problem is Justin Gatlin should never have gotten his 15th chance :lol:

Just noticed in replay that Garanichev threw his chances for medal by doing two penalty loops after final shooting, but only missing one target. Maybe wouldn't have gotten a medal, probably wouldn't, but he'd still be there with QFM and Tarjei Boe.

 

Brain fart? Or perhaps he actually has missed twice then, but we got wrong indicators in coverage?

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • 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.
