EuroBasket and AmeriCup are now scheduled for 2022, but no big change for Asia and Africa

 

which means teams like Iran have to play the continental Championships right after the Olympics ! there are only 9 days gap between those 2 events, :yikes: probably one extra week for teams being eliminated in the first round .

Donar Groningen, Dutch champion three times in the past five seasons, has a new coach: Ivan Rudez of Croatia. @dcro @crovitlaci Is he any good? :p Also, he apparently used to be national team head coach for....Slovakia :d @hckosice

 

 

I thought Rudež sounded familiar, and yes, apparently his brother Damjan played on the NT. :p

 

Other than that, I don't know much (or anything, rather).

    • So, will they appeal to CAS like in Sinner case?
    • https://www.skysports.com/tennis/news/12110/13262332/iga-swiatek-five-time-grand-slam-champion-accepts-one-month-suspension-in-doping-case Cwnt see WADA not overturning this. One month for a banned substance is very low even for accidental consumption. I’ve only ever heard that short for something banned only in Competition and therefore not seen as fully doping. . 
    • big big news regarding Olympic bronze medalist and two time World Champion  Zurabi Datunashvili   https://ita.sport/news/the-ita-acknowledges-cas-add-decision-sanctioning-wrestler-zurabi-datunashvili-for-anti-doping-rule-violations/   to be honest everything was suspicious about this guy, his sudden improvement since 2021, his body, his sudden retirement in 2023 . its great to see him finally getting caught.   they will reallocate the medals later after the end of the process but his Olympic bronze will go to  Ivan Huklek, I think that will be the first ever wrestling medal for Croatia   his 2021 World title will go  Maskevich and the 2022 gold goes to  Bisultanov Bisultanov will benefit more than anybody else, he also gets a bronze from 2021 and  Kessidis will get a bronze from 2022.
    • After the 1st day only Dominican Republic has not win a medal.     G 6 - S 2 - B 0 -T 8  G 1 - S 4 - B 2 - T 7  G 1 - S 0 - B 0 - T 1  G 0 - S 1 - B 2 - T 3 G 0 - S 1 - B 0 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1  G 0 - S 0 - B 1 - T 1
    • I am going to use this as evidence for my belief that the only way for baseball to continue growing is to increase the importance of International tournaments.   Because shocassing stars in those environments is how the MLB can grow their viewership abroad.
    • If this were Milan from 20 years ago, it would be a success but currently it`s just a European average team and on top of that it is not in top form. Milan's defense this season resembles Swiss cheese.
    • Bologna is unfortunately is a team for the Conference League, not the Champions League   Juventus are plagued by injuries and are struggling. On top of that they have a terrible schedule in the CL. In their case qualifying for the play-offs would be a success in this season but I'm not sure how many points they will need to do that. Actually they chave 8 points.
    • Four events with medals awarded halfway into the first day, and already six NOCs are on the medal table 
    • First day of sporting action today. There's livestreams available on the official website: https://www.bolivarianos2024.pe/envivo/   PanamSports Channel should be broadcasting events as well.
