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.

      This season? It's a pity that we couldn't try fight for him, especially considering our problems in the sprints.

      Lara Malsinier and Alex Insam are junior World Championship medalists from a few years ago. Maybe it was possible to provide them with private teams then and now they could even fight for a single podium from time to time? I mean especially women because there, for example: Canada or France can be in the top, so why not us? Now Rodlauer from Austria has joined the Italian team but for now there is a huge gap to the top and only Sieff and Lara Malsinier are jumping well. There was success in the Summer Grand Prix but with a weak competition. Even 3rd place in a single competition in winter is worth more than winning the LGP with a terrible squad.   It remains to wait but I fear that the most we can count on is a dramatic fight with France and maybe Finland in the mixed competition at the World Championships. Bresadola probably won't return this season, so only the inconsistent Insam remains.

      And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.

      Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.

      Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.

      Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan.

      There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
