Is their loss really that surprising? I find it hard to believe that someone can be ridiculously dominant in beach volleyball (as in, winning 50 straight matches or something). :p

 

yes, as in the last 12 months they won 8 of the 10 tournaments they entered (and made the top 4 in the remaining 2)...

at the moment, they are are ridiculously dominant...

but what feeds my regrets more than anything, it's the fact that our Olympic silver medallists Nicolai & Lupo beat the Germans Thole/Wickler in the preliminary stage of the world champs and then they came up meeting the no.1 seeded Norwegians in the quarterfinals (losing badly), meanwhile the Germans could keep far away from then until the semis (which they eventually won)...:facepalm:

EDIT: nevermind about last part...I was still sleeping and I made a mess of the previous rounds...:spank:

What exactly do you mean by that? As far as i can tell those 2 teams haven't met in this tournament and before yesterday Thole/Wickler hadn't lost a set.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

    • big big news regarding Olympic bronze medalist and two time World Champion  Zurabi Datunashvili   https://ita.sport/news/the-ita-acknowledges-cas-add-decision-sanctioning-wrestler-zurabi-datunashvili-for-anti-doping-rule-violations/   to be honest everything was suspicious about this guy, his sudden improvement since 2021, his body, his sudden retirement in 2023 . its great to see him finally getting caught.   they will reallocate the medals later after the end of the process but his Olympic bronze will go to  Ivan Huklek, I think that will be the first ever wrestling medal for Croatia   his 2021 World title will go  Maskevich and the 2022 gold goes to  Bisultanov Bisultanov will benefit more than anybody else, he also gets a bronze from 2021 and  Kessidis will get a bronze from 2022.

    • I am going to use this as evidence for my belief that the only way for baseball to continue growing is to increase the importance of International tournaments.   Because shocassing stars in those environments is how the MLB can grow their viewership abroad.
    • If this were Milan from 20 years ago, it would be a success but currently it`s just a European average team and on top of that it is not in top form. Milan's defense this season resembles Swiss cheese.
    • Bologna is unfortunately is a team for the Conference League, not the Champions League   Juventus are plagued by injuries and are struggling. On top of that they have a terrible schedule in the CL. In their case qualifying for the play-offs would be a success in this season but I'm not sure how many points they will need to do that. Actually they chave 8 points.
    • Four events with medals awarded halfway into the first day, and already six NOCs are on the medal table 
    • First day of sporting action today. There's livestreams available on the official website: https://www.bolivarianos2024.pe/envivo/   PanamSports Channel should be broadcasting events as well.
    • Pretty crazy, just imagine if they won the World Baseball Classic (though personally I equate the two pretty closely).
