Rowing WR World Championships 2023

Really interesting split in endurance sports. GB and the Netherlands super strong while New Zealand and Germany fell off. Germany should up their doping program or cut their funding for endurance sports and focus on more technical sports. Trying to compete in endurance sports without doping is like going to a war with nothing but slingshots.

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

Germany’s pretty succesfull in endurance swimming events. Perhaps the German doping authorities have overlooked those athletes?

 

There is of course an alternative explanation to the one you keep hinting at. Possibly the German Rowing Federation is just not very good.

Not such a disaster world championships for the :GER rowing team .  @EselTheDonkey
They qualified 6/14 boat , can add to that at the Final regatta.
Got a world champion in olympic class boat as well. 

 

Yes, it was less bad than feared, particularly because many of these crews were young athletes. Of course it's far from what German Rowing aspires to be, but miracles weren't to be expected. Hopefully, they will improve in the upcoming years.

So Finn Florijn (M4x) and Karolien Florijn (W1x) are both world champions. Imagine if they repeat this incredible achievement in Paris, has there ever been a family where father (Ronald Florijn, gold in Seoul 1988 and Atlanta 1996), son and sister are all Olympic champions?

 

Very historic world championship for :NED all around. It is starting to feel normal how dominant the Dutch rowers are, but after so many silvers and bronzes I have to keep reminding myself that a gold medal in rowing is still not an easy feat at all.

:IRL 1 / 0 / 2
:GER 1 / 0 / 0

have to repeat myself...this domination by :NED:GBR and :ROU doesn't look good (once again, sorry my friends :p)

 

however, the :ITA disaster does look even worse :facepalm: :hairpull:

Yes, you are the alpha and omega of rowing

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

Given that this was the first time ever the Dutch team won more than 1 gold medal in Olympic events at Worlds, we nearly doubled the number of world titles won in Olympic events from 7 to 12, and for the first time a Dutch Olympic event world champion managed to retain his/her title, that conclusion is premature. It will probably all come to very little in Paris next year.

    • Stage 14 in Semmering (AUT)   Women´s Giant Slalom:   1. Julia Scheib    1:56.46 2. Camille Rast    1:56.60 3. Sara Hector   1:56.86   Full Final Results HERE
    • Stage 13 in Livigno (ITA)   Men´s Super-G:   1. Marco Schwarz    1:10.33 2. Alexis Monney   1:10.53 3. Franjo Von Allmen   1:10.58   Full Final Results HERE
    • I won't write about injuries (Fede) and non-sporting matters (Colturi), but the fact is that Italy has its worst start to the season in alpine skiing in over 10 years... Just one victory, and podiums- if any, they're mostly 3 places. We're also not leading in any of the season standings, no in the women's or men's categories. This isn't be it should be in an Olympic year in your country, where you're having your worst season in many years.
    • Plaisier blew 3 match darts and Ratajski comes back to win!    
    • Yes, she was unlucky, but it could just as easily have happened during some training, like with Gut, etc. Brignone has been essentially injury-free throughout her long career, which is very rare in this sport. It's unfortunate that this happened after her best season ever and just 1 year before the Olympic Games in home, when she just missing of win the Olympic gold medal in her great career. With the gold in Cortina, she would have become a legend of Italian skiing, on par with Tomba. Now she's still the best Italian woman in history, but the miss of Olympic gold will likely haunt her for the rest of her life. 
    • It sad to see this season, as I remember, that Fede last year was winning everywhere, when she competed and finished and now we haven't even managed a single podium in the giant slalom, and it'll probably stay that way until the end of the season. Without Fede and Bassino, unfortunately, we're out of good cards in this event. For me Goggia should probably skip the giant slalom at all, becouse she has no chance of a podium and she risks further injuries. If even Goggia finish 8th or 10th? What difference does it make? If she couldn't get a podium finish today with so many DNFs at the top skiers, she probably never do. Della Mea is OK this year, but let's be honest, she's not World Cup podium material. Overall, it's a sad picture, and we have a 0% chance of anything in Cortina unless a miracle happens in Brignone return.   We have two chances for Goggia in DH and SG + maybe a dark horse in Pirovano/Curtoni in SG. That's all. In technical events, we have a 0% chance for medal and that's sad. Our federation also lost Colturi in this situation... In any normal country, the head of such a federation should be dismissed for disciplinary reasons and this case should be investigated by the minister, or even the prime minister, but not in Italy...
    • Mikaela Shiffrin  off the podium today (Edit: Oops...I thought this was slalom, not Giant Slalom.).  Nina Astner  entered the 2nd run in 30th place, but had the best second run, jumping up 18 places to 12th.
    • Maryna Gąsienica-Daniel with a 5th place PB in Semmering GS! 
    • Today RDC will defeat Senegal  and Tunisia 0-0 Nigeria
