That was the match of the night without question. Evans throws ridiculously fast, like at one time i think i blinked once and he was thrown all 3 darts. :lol: I don't know in the big picture if that helps him or not, but it was very interesting to watch.

Yeah, i got fed up with it by the end, but realistically the guy knew there was no way he'd win, so why not do some shennanigans. :d

 

Van Barneveld's biggest problem was with the beginning. "Every player who qualified could suddenly surprise and win the first set and trust me, if you do that, Anderson is gonna get nervous, but Frost didn't even seem to be fighting in the beginning." 

 

Don't forget he actually qualified on merit, he's a good player. Van Barneveld said he was shocked to see him like this today, because normally he's apparently a much more serious player with a good level :p

Besides Van Barneveld, the other analist happened to be Vincent van der Voort (you know, Fast Vinnie). He said some interesting stuff about players like himself who throw fast: "If it's not going well, you have a problem, because it's even harder to take a breath and calm down for a minute. But when things are going well, you feel like you're unstoppable." Evans showed that last year, when it wasn't working at all against Whitlock, but suddenly...damn, everything that Evans tried worked and he destroyed Whitlock :d

Time for day 2 in 25 minutes :cheer:

 

Jerry Hendriks v Warren Parry (P)
Gerwyn Price (19) v Jonny Clayton
Steve Beaton (27) v Devon Petersen
Peter Wright (3) v Hendriks/Parry

 

I'm going with Hendriks winning the preliminary, Price beating Clayton, the Bronzed Adonis beating our South African dancing friend and Snakebite beating the qualifier.

Agree with those picks too. Hopefully they have a TV screen with Sly sports in the hospital ward where I am visiting but I somehow doubt that :d

Only option is to record it and catch up.

    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
