Cheung wins, first ever WG gold for Hong Kong.

 

And now it's time for the canoe polo.

Finally caught up with the gold medal match in beach handball. Qatari player throwing a hissy fit about not touching the cord, even though the instant replay showed that he definitely did touch it, was just hilarious. Very deserved red card was awarded. Good riddance.

 

We finish with seven medals (2 golds + 5 silvers) in beach handball, boules, kickboxing, karate and finnswimming.

Really an exceptional performance all-around. It all started with those hugely surprising finnswimming medals, and it just kept going.

Closing ceremony was much better than the opening ceremony. Transitions were still rough, but artist segments utilized the space better and we’re just more enthralling. Chengdu 2025 segment was gorgeous in person.

Slovakia at the World Games 2022

 

1 - 1 - 2

 

Slovakia ended its participation at the Birmingham 2022 World Games with 4 medals, one gold, one silver and two bronze.

 

The Gold came in the last day of competitons after Monika Chochlíková

Gold Medal Match

 

Monika Chochlíková  30 - 27  Meriem El-Moubarik

GOLD MEDAL

 

Slovakia will return from Alabama witha Gold Medal. The medal finally came in the last possible discipline with Slovak participation on the final competitive day of the Games.

 

Monika dominated her Under 51Kg class category and earned the Muay Thai Flyweight gold, as she mentioned to the media right after her triumph, the gold was a great satisfaction for her for the unlucky and botched kickboxing from earlier this week.

good, but not exceptional final result for Italy...

 

we failed to reach the 50 medal target (by just 1, but still) and we're down from 16 to 13 gold medals from the past Games in  Wroclaw...

 

very good outcome in Speedskating and Archery, below expectations Finswimming and, above all, Roller Skating (it was an Italian clean sweep 4 years ago)...

 

expecting more also from Karate, Rhythmic Gymnastics and Canoe Polo...

 

I don't know why we didn't even participate in Sport Climbing...

 

unfortunately, no really surprising gold came to help the cause...

 

 

more in general, awful TV/streaming coverage...surely, the worst aspect of these Games...

My sole conclusion of the 2022 world games : these athletes deserve better

[De_Gambassi 1,369]

In France,the World Games just have started on TV. I'm so hyped, I only need to wipe out my memory of the last 10 days.

In which sense exactly? Better coverage?

 

That would have been fairly unrealistic. Quality of sports coverage has really gone downhill since the pandemic started. Remember all those lovely shooting finals in Tokyo where the audience was left literally clueless since there was no graphics? Yeah, for me this was above average, for what it's worth.

Isn't shooting always impossible to follow at the Olympics? Although this time was the worst of all, sure.
