Sorry not being so often on forum. I watched every single match from this championships. The only thing missing was a 9 - dart finish, other than that it was very exciting, especially between MVG and RVB, final also was not bad, but Gary was too weak on doubles in the middle of the match. Anyway, I can't wait for next one in December. :)

Van Gerwen with back problems, missed last nights premier league and withdrew this morning from the UK Open. @heywoodu is it serious, do you know anything about it?

Not much more than you I think.. I'll see if they say something about it in the broadcast of the UK Open today, depending on which 'expert' they have in the studio :p

The stars are aligning for Snakebite to finally take his first major. :) If he f's things up again when there is no MVG, Ando, Taylor, Lewis in his way, i don't know....

 

It'd be sort of fun if Van Barneveld takes him out, 3 days after being all depressed and saying "I'm done with this, I don't care anymore, I'm done, it's been enough" after losing in the Premier League :d

I think it's good for Wright that they meet in the 1/4 and not tonight when the pressure would be huge and we know how he handles pressure. :d Of course there is a chance Barney brings in the magic and fireworks but still i'm banking on the scot. :p

Smart idea, the only time I'd bank on Van Barneveld bringing the magic and fireworks is at the world championships :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.
