Don’t think we’ll see any medalists from today’s events from Division 3. A couple might be able to sneak onto the podium from Division 2.

This is it peeps, simulation after Day 1

 

Place Nation Sim Score Score change
1 HUN 423 -4
2 UKR 405.5 -1.5
3 SLO 379.5 2.5
4 ROU 346 2
5 LTU 330 17
6 CRO 295.5 -6.5
7 SRB 281 -15
8 SVK 278.5 10.5
9 LAT 274 -3
10 DEN 274 -16
11 EST 268 -4
12 CYP 262 -16
13 ISL 244 2
14 BUL 242 25
15 LUX 185 4
16 MDA 128 0

 

 

:BUL almost out of relegation position! Big improvement by  :LTU:SVK , Underperformances by :DEN:CYP:SRB - all driven by DQs/NMs/Falls

You mean to tell me that Serbia is only -15 after today's disasters in the projection? :p

 

As for Lithuania, I think our first day must've been our worst, so to see that we're doing better than "expected" is already good enough.

 

Since Morauskaitė is probably half of this score change, I assume that Matusevičius with his 71 meter SB could be another positive change if he were to throw an 80+

Yep. Scoring 0 in TJ haven't done much damage to Serbia as they were meant to finish 12th anyway :raspberry:

Lithuania's biggest hit will be day 3 as 4/11 podiums expected that day. Anyway, let's not get excited, you know that TeamLTU will collect bunch of 0 after our relays get's disqualified once again :d

In the Pole Vault showdown of the ex-:YUG:MKD DNS:MNE NM, so I’m calling :MNE for the win.

:MKD got put in the sin bin for that one. Link: https://results.european-games.org/pdf/EG2023/ATH/EG2023_ATH_C67_ATH------------------------------22.pdf

 

In fairness to the organizers, pole vault/triple jump isn’t one of the more common doubles for an athlete to attempt :p

Only athletics and beach handball are scheduled for today. I postponed my trip to the Silesian Stadium for the first day of athletics. I will drop by when the Poles start (June 23-25).

    • 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.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
