Summer European Youth Olympic Festival 2023


Recommended Posts

There was nearly a three way tie in the girls 100m hurdles. All three medalists finished with a time of 13.22, but Zajac :POL (3rd) was 0.003 seconds behind Montauban :FRA and Wild :CRO.

:SVK winning medals in judo and swimming as we all would have expected and predicted :p

 

Slovakia is really feeling that Slovenia. Travel there might even be considered a good idea :p

Absolutely amazing day for sure for us. We rarely win 2 medals in a day, so 3 is just a science-fiction

Thanks. Very promising generation on the women's side for GB and Germany. Romania also has a lot of good talents and Italy is doing a good job on the men's side + Jackl of course has to be mentioned. We might see some of them at the olympics next year already. Especially Blocksidge and Jackl aren't far away.

The time isn't terrible for her age, the two girls ahead of her are both 1 year older. She would be 38th in the american all-time rankings for 13/14 year olds. She has until next year to improve on that ranking. For comparison some of the other girls on that list:

2:18.57 Kate Douglass

2:18.42 Summer McIntosh

2:18.21 Kathleen Baker

2:18.20 Sydney Pickrem

2:17.75 Nathalie Coughlin

2:17.64 Maya DiRado

2:17.48 Claire Weinstein

2:17.21 Elizabeth Beisel

2:17.19 Ariana Kukors

2:16.96 Bella Sims

2:16.28 Regan Smith

 

I think her problem is that slovakian coaches don't know how to produce world-class swimmers and by the time that she will be old enough to go to college, it will probably already be too late for her (since she wasted multiple years of development). For her the best would probably to go to Hungary or even GB. Those two nations know how to produce world class swimmers in the IM. Sadly that doesn't seem like a very realistic option for her, unless her parents are rich ...

Very impressive week by Kevric in women's artistic gymnastics. She won 4 out of 6 possible golds and it very well could have been 6 out of 6. The women's team missed gold by only 0.8 points and in the vault final she only missed gold by 0.016 points. Difficult to say where she is at compared to the best talents in her age group, but she for sure is one of the best talents Germany has produced in a long time.

Does anyone (from Italy) know why Italy competed with a completely new women's team here? They had a completely different team at junior worlds earlier this year. Did they want to give their "reserve" a chance to compete at the international level?

Pretty unlucky results for Germany in the tennis tournament. McDonald getting injured cost him a (gold) medal chance in the individual and the double. On the women's side the german athletes were unlucky to run into athletes from the Czech Republic in both the individual and the double competition in the quarterfinal already.

Good battle between :POL and :ISR for gold in women’s skateboarding (street). :POL comes out on top in the end.

 

Overall, the level of the competition was good, but nothing too crazy. Europe still has some work to do to catch up to North America, Latin America, and East Asia.

Got :ATA whacked, though.

Interesting result in women's volleyball. Slovenia vs. Germany in the final, seems rather unexpected. Not sure what happened to Italy, Serbia, Poland and Turkey.

    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
