+ what the hell is going on with Kosovo?

I’ve been reading a few stories about their program. Essentially the government/NOC are allocating a lot of their money towards that. Plus, it’s become a cultural thing since they won gold at Rio and then again this year at Minsk.

Zaw Myo Ooo :MYA, who got bronze in the -90kg, was now fighting at the world championships in the +100kg and he was absolutely huge :yikes: (not in the tall, muscled way...)

 

I'd guess he was at the very least 120kg or something, in only four years that is some gain :yikes:

Netherlands and France are collecting medals like crazy...

 

well, actually all the French medals won so far were expected...maybe Malonga's gold is a bit surprising, but for sure she was a medal candidate before the start of the champs...

 

meanwhile Agbegnenou is one of the greatest judo player ever...I'm more surprised when she doesn't win (like in Rio) rather than when she does it...

 

Gahie is also a great talent, she physically dominant and she can also find many "unconventional" ways of winning the bouts (which is quite unusual for French judo players, who normally rely on the most classic techniques from the standing position)...I expected her to win a global title sooner or later...

 

I'm going further...I expected also Bouchard to get a medal...

 

among the men, Clerget already won Bronze last year, so he can't be named "surprising"...

 

the only medal I didn't really expect for them, is Margaux Pinot's (I mean, she's a very good player, too...but a medal...well, not yet...and instead she did it)...

well, also the Netherlands, looking at their Grand Prix/Grand Slams results were expected to collects medals in the middle/heavy classes...

 

maybe Van T End went a little further than expected with the Gold medal, but surely a podium finish wouldn't be a surprise in any case...and they still missed out on the podium with Tsjakadoea, De Wit and Roy Meyer, who had a lot of great results over the whole season...

 

moreover, I think their women underperformed...I expected people like Polling, Steenhuis, Verkerk, Vermeer ending up with a medal...and they all failed...

well, when your leader is basically a National hero, then you can expect that she's gonna get all kind of support, financially and politically...

moreover, they interpretate a kind of judo that I don't like at all, but nowadays it seems to be the most effective to earn global medals...

however, it's just a small group of athletes capitalizing all the investments made on them...I wouldn't define them "a judo school"...they've been lucky to find 2/3 very strong girls in the same period of time, but who knows if they're going to build on that for the future?

Japan already seems to fade a bit, will be interesting to see how many golds they will actually win next year. I expected them to be in a better position by now in sports like gymnastics or swimming. Wrestling and judo are the sports that could still get them a 3rd or 4th place in the medal table.

 

I wrote it here before the champs started...everybody expected them to sweep the tournament, but they are feeling the pressure...and they will feel it even more next year...

and technically, they're always struggling with the physical superiority and the unconventional style of many of their opponents, especially in the heaviest classes...nowadays, perfect technique is not enough to win bouts in the world/Olympic tournaments...

I don't expect them to win more than 3/4 gold medals also next year...

well, when your leader is basically a National hero not only because of her results (Olympic Gold in Rio), but also because she gave up another almost safe Olympic Gold 4 years before, refusing to compete under another Flag (Albania) waiting for Kosovo to be recognized by UN and IOC, then you can expect anything from that group...

moreover, they interpretate a kind of judo that I don't like at all, but nowadays it seems to be the most effective to earn global medals...

Kelmendi actually did represent Albania in 2012.

oh, yes...you're right...

 

I really thought she didn't compete for them, because she wanted to save her chance to go for Kosovo once they were recognized...

 

I didn't remember she was allowed to start for ALB and then switch team later on...:facepalm:

 

changed/fixed that sentence...;)

Yes, her only dream was competing for Kosovo but it wasnt recognised by IOC back in 2012. She had just 2 options. To skip games overall and to compete for natural alternative, Albania. And she picked 2nd option. She was great in that days but she lost to Legentil from Mauritsius, which was huge surprise.

    • She has competed for Brazil some 20 days ago...OAsport writers must have taken long holidays and needed more time than usual for their "copy, paste and add a clickbait title/intro" article 
    • it looks like  will have soon another biathlon member in their ranks    born Gaia Brunello is going to switch to her mom's native Land...good luck to her!   p.s. just don't give a f*ck to the clickbaiting comparison to Braathen in the title of the article    https://www.oasport.it/2025/01/anche-litalia-ha-la-sua-braathen-gaia-brunello-sceglie-il-brasile-nel-biathlon/

    • my problem isn't that*...it's that I just can't stand the test match format    I'd rather watch T20 or ODI...I don't like even the T10 format   *I just discovered that we can watch the 7+ ott also here in Italy, just need a good  VPN and a bit of patience to register to their portal (it's completely free, and the app on the amazon firestick works way better than the regular website on my PC)    for those who like to dare, there's a chance to subscribe to Kayo Sports, too, but I didn't take the risk yet...you know...   meanwhile, for those who are more into "a certain kind of stuff"  there's always the magical app Sportsfire (it works basically only on the amazon firestick, though)...and you have a whole world at your feet  (when it worls )
    • Meanwhile, a bit of a request for help: I have been trying, but if anyone can find the qualification rules for the world championships in Trondheim, specifically the requirements to be allowed to start in all races, that'd be great, I can't find it anywhere yet..   Edit: of course I found it right after asking for help     Only remaining question is: does 'current' mean what at that moment is the current list (the 6th FIS points list) or the one that is used for the eligibility for the WSC 2025 as listed on the 'Dates of the lists' document (5th FIS points list)?    
    • Happy New Year to you as well!   So, we got back from Oberwiesenthal Sunday night, after an adventurous drive in the snow and a long road back home. It went well there: the classic sprint on Saturday resulted in 314 points, which improved her own position towards the team sprint in the world championships (being in the team sprint is potentially very important towards the Olympics). She beat her main rival by a whopping 11 seconds, so that was awesome.   20k mass start classic on Sunday wasn't that good: in the first of six laps, some athletes around her fell, one of them hit her left foot (the one that got injured in the accident 3 years ago) and that resulted in quite some pain. I was waiting with my drinks in the coaching area, but after the field passed there in lap two, she didn't appear, so I knew something was up. Walked back and saw her walking towards me, then she explained what had happened. The pain after being hit in the foot was too much to keep going for 16km, especially in a race that wouldn't count for the Olympic ranking anyway and was only meant for 'racing rhythm', continueing could do more damage than good.   That's a shame, but no problem, the sprint went well and that was WAY more important. Also: the day before the race we went to the Polish wax cabin to ask for help, because she does always need someone to wax her skis and 'Team' Brazil isn't really an option. The Polish very gladly helped (and were paid with a nice 12-pack of beer we brought for that occassion) and the skis were really good, so that was fantastic. Even better: after the mass start, and explaining why being hit in the foot was such a problem and so on, the wax guy - without us even asking - offered to also help at the world championships, and invited her for a training camp with the team in the summer     December had gone very well as well, right now (with still this entire season and half of next season to go) she is leading the Brazilian Olympic ranking by a nice margin. Of course many races to come for everyone, but so far, so good!   Next option is 17-19 January, FESA Cup in Falcade. Financially it's a bit tough, since that is yet another 2300km with the rental car (with which we already did 1600 now, and we only have 2000 on the contract, so every km outside of it costs 20 cents), plus another accomodation needed. We're looking into the options, because Falcade has a classic sprint AND a 10k freestyle, which is the absolute perfect combination considering those are the things that count for the Olympic ranking. We're trying to scrape enough together, so...we'll keep you updated

    • Heraskevyvh is very good in this season. He did worse last season. Our team is unfortunately doing much worse now.    In luge, unfortunately, it`s difficult to break the dominance of Germany, Austria and Latvia. The USA has also made a lot of progress. I have also read that Russia may return under a neutral banner, so I don`t think we will win a medal in Cortina 2026. The only hope is that we will use our knowledge of the new track in Cortina and then maybe we will win a one medal, maybe in the women's doubles. Unfortunately, we don`t have a star like Armin Zoeggeler as before.
