Well, since you're here. How do you feel that they screwed up the Italian flag in the protocols? :p 

didn't know that.

 

here nobody would care about things like that in this kind of minor events...actually, I'm asking myself how many people in Italy know that today the Jr. Europeans started? probably only those who read this forum and our main sport website OA sport...:facepalm:

 

however, I hope it was just a mistake...it can happen...

 

p.s. if they did on purpose, instead, they're just a bunch of idiots (but honestly I believe it was just a mistake).

Personally for me it's a huge event. It gives us a glimpse into the future, secures important funding and scholarships for younger athletes, providing them with necessary resources to stay in the sport. The fact that we've sent a record number of swimmers, both our relays are in the finals, it's a huge deal for Lithuania and perhaps we're on our way to become an even bigger threat in the aquatic scene.

Woah, a medal on the very first day, and it's the men's 4x100m Freestyle relay!!!!!!!!!

 

Our mega talent 14yo Tajus Juška was a part of the four. He was taken to the Junior championships, because he was too young to participate in EYOF (2009yob)

a good first day for :ITA 

 

2 relays gold medals (didn't expect the girls to beat :HUN especially after the first not so exciting leg by Curtis)

 

top guys of the day, however, are Regaini (twice mid 1.48 between heats and semis in the men's 200 Free) and Camozzi (1.57.9 in the men's 200m Fly semis).

 

hope they can improve a bit tomorrow, so to be gold medal contenders (even if it will be difficult against people older and with a better PB)

2nd day fairly okay

 

Jazdauskas was very close to the bronze in 200m Free

5th for our mixed free relay

7th for our young backstroke talent

And Plytnykaitė made it into the 50m free final

 

That's already 6 finals and 6 semifinals for Lithuania, which is already better than the entire championships from last year :p

2nd day of the junior europeans not as good as the first

 

results are better than the real situation: very good Regaini, "only" silver over boys 200m free, but with a big improvement on his PB

 

quite good Camozzi (Gold over boys 200m fly), but the clocking is way worse than yesterday, which is unacceptable at this level

 

very disappointing, instead, Sara Curtis (despite the best time in the heats and semis of the girls 50m free, she's way slower than expected...not to mention the tragic relays' legs both yesterday and today) and today's relay in general, when all 4 weren't even close to yesterday's clockings (and in fact they lost to Hungary, despite being the heavy favourites).

 

bad day also for all the other boys and girls (personally, I'm especially disappointed with Del Signore's time in the boys 50m Back final).

 

let's see if tomorrow we can do something more exciting (especially in perspective).

    • Cogne (ITA) has prevailed over Ulricehamn (SWE) and will replace the World Cup in Nove Mesto (CZE). This means that a total of 10 World Cup races are planned in Italy next season.  
    • What's worse there is that it took insanely long for anyone to even go there and try to help her....like, nothing happened, at all. She was crying out in pain in the pouring rain and nobody came to help, that was awful. And then someone finally went there....and just picked up her bike to move it away. Come on.
    • Pointsbet Invitational on this week!    Already a few upsets in the round of 16 with Team McDonald defeating Team Dunstone (not the biggest of the surprises, he took Team Carruthers the distance at the provincial playdowns), Team Asselin defeating Team Carruthers, and perhaps the biggest one Team MacNutt defeating Team Einarson (I will also add that Birchard suffered a knee injury recently and is taking some time off, so Walker is coming in as a replacement)
    • top athletes are still paid well enough to keep them in the country. that also means that they degrade and wouldn't be good enough for any other country
    • Thanks for reporting it! I have installed a new feature where the content of ignored users is "more" ignored than before, meaning it also does not appear in the post feed block. But something is wrong now and it "too" ignored, ignoring the whole threads where ignored users have posted Anyway no worries, no content has been deleted and hopefully it will be fixed soon.
    • @Sindo May apologies for using a wrong thread for it, but lots of threads give me this screen when I try to open them:     That is including the announcements thread and the problems/suggestions thread, where I originally wanted to post this of course, but yeah...the post thing is gone there     There seems to be some error with loading posts somehow. On the front page, this thread here for example is reported as having at least one post today, but the most recent one I see is from a week ago. Something going on?
    • Good morning everyone! Of course I would not let Brazil out of this fun tradition 🤪 so it is for sure a valid reason to find some extra time between trainings and work for.   Well, here is Brazil's choice for this years Contest. I hope that despite of giving it some points or not, you enjoy the message of the lyrics     Perfeitamente imperfeito (Hateen)   Coragem aos que tem valor Que nunca pensam em se entregar Coragem pra poder continuar E não existe nada que você Não seja forte o bastante pra vencer Por que você sabe que nunca está sozinho E eu também já vivi assim Perdido e procurando o fim Só pra fazer toda essa dor passar Mas na vida tudo o que aprendi É que a gente chora, mas também sorri E tudo sempre vai acabar bem Basta acreditar Que todos os seus dias Vão melhorar com o tempo Que todos os seu temores, Erros, faltas e defeitos Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito É assim que deve ser E é assim que eu vou seguir, em frente Se lembra quando você Não conseguia entender? E o seu ódio era o seu melhor amigo? Mas o tempo que você passou Gritando com o mundo inteiro ao seu redor Nunca te fez sentir um pouco melhor São coisas que a gente aprende com o tempo A dar valor a todos os momentos E da tristeza a gente faz sorrir Agora entendo e já parece tão certo Estou feliz e já me sinto completo Por que tenho a certeza De que não acabo aqui Basta acreditar Que todos os seus dias Vão melhorar com o tempo Que todos os seus temores Erros, faltas e defeitos Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito É assim que deve ser É assim que eu vou seguir Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Se lembra quando você Não conseguia entender?
