Colin Heathcock now competing for the US is a massive punch in the face for german fencing. He currently is the biggest talent in men's fencing and possibly the biggest talent Germany ever produced on the men's side. He realistically could medal in Paris. I will wait with my final judgement until i found out why he switched nationalities, but what is the point of investing tons of money in young athletes if they then just switch nationalities first chance they get without paying back their "debt"?

Very weird final in women's foil. It was 6-7 and when i looked again 1 minute later it suddenly was 6-15. I hope that Ebert didn't get injured. Still a very good result for someone of her age (finishing 2nd in a competition full of grandmas).

no injury...she just lost her focus and went from a 6-3 lead to a 6-15 loss in 55 seconds.

 

p.s. among the top 16, Volpi is 30, the Korean Oh is 37...all the other 14 are 28 or less...

and among the top 32, there are only 3 more women just over 30.

I wouldn't say it was a competition "full of grandmas".

Another victory for the Italians today, Volpi :clap: Let's hope in the Italian triple with Curatoli...

and don't forget the women...we have an all-Italian affair in the first semifinal (Criscio vs Mormile), which means we have at least a girl in the final for the second WC stage in a row.

    • Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA    Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball
    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • There is no snow in Lillehammer 
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
    • What good is it to us if we took 4th place and lost an important match? If Constantini was sick, I forgive her, but I'm afraid that the Italian team will not exceed a certain level. Yes, they have made progress since 2022, but they lack that one decisive step to become a class team. Here we lost all important matches with teams at our/higher level: Sui x2, Sco x2, Swe. We only won with the one we were supposed to win with. I don't believe in a medal for this team in Cortina. After 2022, it seemed that Constantini could dominate women's curling, but it didn't happen that way. After Sinner's recent successes, I opened my eyes a bit and started to demand more from our athletes, coaches, and officials. I have no intention of being satisfied with 4th place, because with this approach, you won't achieve anything great.
    • play their best, but only get 1, so  get bronze 6-4!  
    • Oh dear, once again a 50% shot from Constantini when she needed 100%.   blank the end & go into the 10th with the Hammer of Thor.
