Unfortunately, Polish sport is sick in many cases. Recently it was controversial when choosing the composition for the world judo championship.

If you aks me I always treat with reserve every grumble and accusing made online or in interviews by athletes and coaches. Losing place in national team is always very hurtfull, especially for WCh medalist and as you mention Grzegorz is not only Mateusz's coach but also a brother so it's very emotional for him too. And sometimes with emotions we're seeing things what we want to see, not necessary what they really are. I have similar feelings about Karol Zalewski (athletics) who is accusing our men's relay coach Lisowski for not getting him to Doha, about Maciej Sarnacki and Piotr Kuczera (judo) who didn't get to this year WCh or Aleksandra Shelton (fencing) who choose team USA. In all this cases I'm not saying that this people are wrong but I'm also not saying that they are right. Usually the true is somewhere in the middle, very rarely is like one of the side presenting it. And we are masters of inside fighting and quarrels (pol. polskie piekiełko).

It is hard to disagree. With us, every now and then a straw comes out of a relationship, and this is a strange calling for a WCh in judo, and there are no outfits on time for the cycling team. Sometimes I have the impression that we are mentally still 100 years behind other nations.

Maybe not 100 but surely 50. I mean we are mentally still in the era before 1989 ;)

The only thing that separates us from 1989 and earlier is the fact that we have trace cases of doping. And for that praise our athlete that they don't always take an example from those from behind our eastern border.

Great win for the Women K1 team, just beating the Czech and Russia. Can’t remember when we last won it but must of been 7 or 8 years ago. Was very impressed by the ladies, a medal chance next year

The last time on the podium in K1 British was in 2015, and they won in 2009, if I remember correctly.

Guys, anybody know whether there is a live stream of today's heats? Was trying to find something but unsuccessfully. Thanks

Last I checked there should be some on YouTube...

    • 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.
