What a match :d 

 

Brilliant legs, horrible legs...this was exciting :p 

 

I'm hoping for Wright - Van Barneveld in the final, although when purely looking at a quality final I'd go for Anderson - Van Gerwen..

First time there won't be an englishman in the 1/2 tonight. Hoping Barney repeats from last year, but it will probably be redemption for MVG. He will come out blazzing. 

Agree with you on all fronts there :p 

 

What's your thought about Anderson - Wright? In my opinion Wright has deserved it more this year and he's definitely playing more consistent than Anderson even in this World Championships. Anderson on the other hand has way better "peaks": he can suddenly come and win 2 sets with 5-6 12darters, I don't see Wright doing that..

 

Basic, consistent level: Wright beats Anderson

When playing on their absolute best: Anderson beats Wright

If Wright doesn't crack under pressure like he usually does, i think he has a very good chance. I would say 51-49 in his favour. :p But Ando at the Worlds is just something different, he has a great passion and digs very deep when it matters the most, which i think will help him even if he doesn't play at his best. Can't wait for the matches. :clap:

In terms of wanting a spectacular final I'm hoping for Anderson and Van Gerwen, because both can produce insane fireworks that I don't really see Wright and Van Barneveld do :p 

 

Apart from that, I'm just hoping for Van Barneveld and we'll see who he plays in the final :d

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
