Skeetskytte udtaget til OL

Den tidligere verdensmester Jesper Hansen skal repræsentere Danmark i skeetskydning ved OL i Tokyo. Varmen bliver hans måske største modstander.


Skeetskytten Jesper Hansen er klar til sit tredje OL i træk. Den tidligere verdens- og europamester er blevet udtaget af DIF’s bestyrelse efter en indstilling fra Dansk Skytte Union, og han skal dermed i aktion på Asaka Shooting Range til juli næste år.

Det bliver utvivlsomt en varm fornøjelse for ham. Temperaturen risikerer at komme op i nærheden af 40 grader, og da luftfugtigheden også vil være høj, så har Jesper Hansen allerede nu defineret sin farligste modstander.

”Når der kommer sved på geværkolben, bliver den som sandpapir. Kolben skal glide meget præcis op over skydevesten, så måske skal jeg have noget tøj, hvor ærmerne er længere, for fugtig hud er som en sugekop på geværet. Måske skal jeg også have udviklet en kasket, som er endnu bedre til at optage sved. Det skal vi alt sammen kigge på i den kommende tid,” siger Jesper Hansen.

 

Mentalt godt rustet
For at vænne sig til de udfordrende klimatiske forhold planlægges en træningslejr i Australien i et område, hvor temperaturen og luftfugtigheden minder om Tokyos. Jesper Hansen er dog fortrøstningsfuld i forhold til at kunne håndtere vanskelige situationer, når det går løs i Japan.

”Til OL i London i 2012 væltede hele korthuset for mig. Til den officielle træning, lige inden vi skulle i konkurrence, udbrød et kæmpe tordenvejr, og jeg fik jeg ikke lov til at skyde. Jeg syntes, at alt gik mig imod, og jeg magtede ikke komme videre rent mentalt,” siger Jesper Hansen og fortsætter:

”Sådan ville jeg ikke reagere i dag, for i mellemtiden har jeg være så meget forskelligt igennem. Jeg har haft fiaskoer og succeser, så jeg har en helt anden rutine at trække på. OL er et kæmpe cirkus, og det skal man kunne forholde sig til. I Rio ved mit andet OL var det meget nemmere for mig at holde fokus i forhold til London-legene, hvor jeg hele tiden blev bragt ud af kurs.”

Jesper Hansen blev nummer 26 ved OL i London, mens han blev nummer 5 ved OL i Rio fire år senere.

 

Bor tæt ved skydestadion
Der er blevet arbejdet hårdt på at finde de rigtige rammer for skytterne Tokyo. Det har resulteret i, at de kommer til at bo i nogle lejligheder lige ved siden af skydestadionet. Dermed sparer de cirka to timers daglig transport i forhold til, hvis de havde boet i den officielle OL-by.

”Jeg glæder mig over, at den første skytte nu er udtaget, og jeg er sikker på, at vi har fundet en løsning, som giver skytterne de bedste betingelser i Tokyo. Danskerne kan se frem til nogle spændende konkurrencer fra skydebanen, og forhåbentlig kommer Jesper Hansen til at spille en hovedrolle,” siger Søren Simonsen, der er DIF’s OL chef de mission.

Hos Team Danmark, der samarbejder tæt med Jesper Hansen frem mod OL, arbejder man med at få skabt de bedst mulige betingelser for et godt resultat i Tokyo.

”Jesper har i en lang årrække placeret sig i toppen til internationale mesterskaber, og han har niveauet og erfaringen til at præstere blandt de bedste næste sommer. Det bliver varmt i Tokyo, og det har vi naturligvis fokus på i forberedelserne. Vi arbejder blandt andet med ernærings- og væskestrategi og det tøj, Jesper Hansen har på under konkurrencerne. På den måde forsøger vi i fællesskab at håndtere de klimatiske vilkår i Japan og måske endda gøre dem til en konkurrencefordel for Jesper,” siger Team Danmarks direktør, Lone Hansen.

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
