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...

    • Italy will boycott the Azeri stage for protest against the international federation.
    • Likely for Tannheimer, quite unlikely for Galmace Paulin. She's far from being assured to even start in the WC before turning 20. Basically she'd have to get a spot this season, which could actually happen if she takes the extra-ticket at the JWCH. Anyway I don't see her making her way to gold in Oslo. Tänglander has a few seasons to do it, we'll see.       Quite surprisingly so, indeed. Barring her horrendous finish Richard would have made it 2 in one go. We should have some more names in the list in 2025.
    • There are some of Slovakia's finest young squads at the World Juniors in recent years
    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
