Games of scandales : Syrians have been kicked from the games just like Iran , some athletes from Kenya, and South Africans blocked in Italy cause they didn't got US  visa 

 

no one critisize all that cause the host is usa 

Btw 3 of our athletes were also denied visa. A couple in dancesport and a  female Sumo wrestler ,which would have been our debut in the 2 sports.  And got to know that visa issues for US is pretty bad. They reject visas without any reason be it in sports or education leading to various issues .

I was told a highlight of wushu competitions will be shown on the daily highlights, patiently waiting 17 minutes before being able to see the wushu pictogram only to find 10 seconds later the video suddenly skips to the TV opening sequence before showing the second part of the highlights. Amazing luck indeed for wushu fans.

 

And IWUF just busy showing Olympic Champion 1976 flirting with the athletes.

 

 

Might as well go outside and slap people for no reason to join the madness

Team Day 6 Results

Wednesday 13th

 

KICKBOXING:

-52kg W

 

Quarterfinals

 

Monika Chochlíková  4 - 5  Klára Strnádová  

Eliminated in Quarterfinals

 

 

The day started with an Enormous shock and incredible disappointment.

Our biggest star of the whole World Games team lost already in the quarterfinal to stop in the least convenient moment the like of million matches undefeated streak...

Huge disappointment.. Chochlíková lost to the Czech Strnádová after the decision of the judges, the game ended 4-4 after one of the judges assigned the win to Monika and the other one to the Czech girl, the third judge had the result tied, so all 3 judges had to meet again and decide about the winner, After a quite long period of deliberation they designate Strnádová as the winner of the match...

 

Monika Chochlíková will try to improve her mood in the Muay Thai, where she is also considered as one of the biggest favorites

 

 

-70kg W

 

Quarterfinals

 

Alexandra Filpová  3 - 0  Polina Grossman  

Qualified to the Semifinals

 

Semifinals

 

Alexandra Filpová  2 - 1  Dajenka Meijer  

Qualified to the Gold Medal Bout

 

 

After the shock of the elimination of Monika Chochlíková our delegation however enjoyed the rest of the night, when Alexandra Filipová secured the 3rd medal of the games by advancing to the Gold Medal Bout, where she will face her well-known rival from Aleksandra Krstič.

In the quarterfinal she won over Polina Grossman of 3-0 (15:8, 16:6, 8:3) and later in the night she won also in a dramatic semifinal over the top favorite Dajenka Meijer 2:1 to qualify for the Final and thus assure at least a silver medal for herself and her country.

 

Tough day for Alexandra Filipová with 2 games and 2 wins yesterday in the ring, first she beat Polina Grossman from (in the picture) to later win also in the semifinal

Gold in boules. Well done Jelovica. Funily enough, we performed better here than at the Mediterranean Games.

 

Also, another medal is secured as Anto Širić made the final in heavyweight kickboxing. Exciting stuff.

 

These will be, quite convincingly, the best WG to date for us.

Flag football isn't entirely an exciting sport but it's still watchable. That thriller between   was great to watch. Got me on the edge of my seats.

Kickboxing should be kicked out of the games. What a boring sport where score increases and decreases live. Assume it's 3 judges scoring the game live and it changes live but displaying live 3-0 which changes to 0-3 in few seconds! What rubbish is this

It's based on accumulated points from each judge...

 

 

3:0 just means that the judges are (currently) unanimous, and not necessarily that one fighter is clearly leading. For example, a lead of 1-0 early in a match on one judge's scorecard can quickly change to 1-2 or something, which then changes the overall scoreboard as well.

OK guessed it was that way but showing live scores would be better. Maybe if 2/3 judges score a point
