Nata Dubovcová/Andrea Štrbová lost in the round of 32 to the 16th seeded Betschart/Huberli of :SUI  after a huge drama 1-2 (21-16, 16-21 and 14-16 !!!) :( hard luck for the girls once again..they rae really one of the most unluckiest sports pair in the world IMO, really.

 

They are one of our athletes I really hope the most to qualify for the Olympics.

3/4 brazilian women's pairs advance to Round of 16. Pity for Maria Elisa/Carol who are our third best pair. Ágatha/Duda and Ana Patrícia/Rebeca closer to Olympic qualification.

 

Kinda shocked by Ludwig's elimination, although Kozuch is not really on her level. Sweat/Walsh Jennings early elimination is also a little surprising, but not that much when we see their poor results in the preliminary round.

Only one Brazilian pair in the quarterfinals in the women's competition. Disappointing performance, especially that was our worst pair who managed to qualify. :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

 

 

Hopefully we will win a medal at least because I do not believe in a medal in the men's competition.

Today was terrible indeed. In women's only our 5th best pair remains (4th if we only count the teams here); in Men's, only our 2nd and 4th best pairs. I seriously believe we won't win a single medal this time

It is very strange to see Brazil without a medal in beach volleyball. Disappointing, but natural, bad tournaments happen for everyone.

:)

 

Anyway nothing has changed for Tokyo. 2 medal chances in the women's tournament and, for now, 0 medal chances in the men's tournament.

    • Selina Grotian is the 6th youngest World Cup winner among women (20yo 8 months).   Elin Kristiansen remains the youngest at 19yo 6 months (Anterselva 1988 sprint). Magdalena Neuner is the only other athlete to win before turning 20yo (19yo 11 months). Uschi Disl (20yo 1 month), Svetlana Davidova (20yo 3 months) & Martina Glagow (20yo 4 months) were also younger.
    • Today maybe there was poor wax servic, but Auchentaller loses in every race at the end, when younger competitors: Grotian, Richard, etc. are already running much faster. Vittozzi is 29 years old but unfortunately she got injured in November - if she recovers, she will still have a big chance for medals. Unfortunately, Wierer can only be a complement to relay teams.
    • Could be the waxing on the last lap fresh snow. Auchentaller, Wierer & Trabucci all fell off on the last lap and basically had the slowest skiing time there? Overall though you have a problem, days of prime Wierer & Vittozzi won't be repeated soon but then I hear the same issues in alpine skiing where there is a huge gap behind Brignone & Bassino (the latter being 28 years old already). And someone claimed Colturi would have plateau'd if she stayed with the Italian federation as well.
    • Could not watch it, despite that I'm definitely not upset :)
    • I am rooting for Team Canada in Ice hockey and Team Austria in Ski jumping
    • Finally at least one condition suitable for the dog shit we wax
    • Slovakia returns to the podium for the first time since Oslo in March 2022. To find a podium in the mass start we even have to go back to Rupholding 2019, before the covid era
    • The truth is that the entire Italian biathlon depends on one Vittozzi, who is not sure if she will return this season and her form is also questionable, because the rest of the Italian team is running poorly. Wierer is old and will never win again - she is running weaker and weaker and what is worse: she is shooting poorly. The rest of our team is running too weakly to count on any successes in the future. I don`t believe that Auchentaller or Comola will suddenly make a big progress in the run track, e.g. to the top 10, since the young French women are already much faster than them.
    • Auchentaller runs poorly, and her last rounds are awful - generally all Italian women have a problem with fitness and this is probably the problem of poor preparation before the season. If you don't run in the top 10, you can forget about successes apart from one individual race. Wierer and Vittozzi always ran in the top 10 during their prime. I don't see such potential in Auchentaller. Generally, both in biathlon and cross-country skiing Italian teams aren`t able to train a few good runners for many years and this is probably a systemic problem - look at France, for example: how many good runners have they been able to train in biathlon in recent years...
