3. Zuzana Hrašková

 

The 400m Bi-Fins World record holder arrived to the games a bit disappointed to not have her strong event in the World Games schedule, but still ended by eventually winning a surprising bronze in her less prefered 100m race.

In the lane 1 she had not the best start possible being 7th after 50 meters but a really strong finish catapulted her to the bronze medal position behind the two Hungarian girls and only 0.06 ahead of Antonina Dudek from

 wining gold and bronze in Standard Dance  There were full expectations for all 3 Lithuanian couples to compete in the final, but our third pair finished 9th in semifinal. Anyway, Sodeika/Sodeikiene finally got their golds, after they were robbed in 2017 and left with the bronze as World Games gold were the only title they were missing.

 

Some chances for podium in drone racing and low chance in orienteering.

Silver medal for A. Kvesić and no medal for I. Kvesić in karate. Not an exceptional performance, but not a disaster either.

We are now up to three silvers. Beach handball is likely our only chance of a gold medal.

Pretty bad first day for Denmark but yesterday the bowlers secured two semi finals. Should be at least one medal there.

Just a heads up, IRF (Raquetball) is streaming games up to the semifinals on their Facebook, and IFA (Fistball) is streaming preliminary games on their streaming service.

Oh, nice to know! I want to watch the racquetball matches so I can root for Bolivia!

I love that the road speed skating events are taking place on public roads this time. It’s true to the way I practice the sport 

[Olympian1010 7,470]

What an entertaining race that was! I’m not sure athletes will and officials will like the course, but that created phenomenal racing. What an endorsement for roller speed skating!

 

 gets a gold @hckošice

Breakdancing has sold out of tickets. It will be interesting to see what people think of it.

Refreshing to see Colombia lose (in a non-DQ-galore race).

 

I have no problem with the course. Road cyclist have to tackle road furniture all the time. Same should apply for inline skaters if they wish to compete on the road as well.
