And more good news - seemingly the BBC are streaming at least some of the Oslo Impossible Games from Bislett on Friday, which probably means there will be other streams as well.

 

Actually the Impossible Games are on BBC Red Button 19:00 on Thursday.  Probably somewhere else as well.

  • 2 weeks later...

There was a meet in Dresden, Germany last night.  A bit low-key, sprints only, but it’s all on YouTube and non-geoblocked.  You’ll probably want a remote control with FF.

 

 

 

There’s another couple of things this weekend, will post the links later.

We've kicked off the athletics season with quite a few competitions, though mostly for children, U18 and U20 categories, with some bigger events starting in two weeks.

 

I spend a fair amount of time analysing the state of our athletics and from what I've gathered so far, quarantine is taking a toll on the results.

 

Of course, everyone is extra rusty, so the real situation is only going to be clear after athletes get to start a bit more and a lot of competent athletes have yet to start in any of the competitions. 

 

On the other hand, both sons of Virgilijus Alekna seem to be throwing the discus fairly far and have already secured their U23 and U20 unofficial qualification marks.

Watching the Swiss meet now.  Lots going on, they are running multiple heats of all events to give as many people a race as possible.  Athletes are mainly Swiss, but quite a few Germans & even Chinese who presumably are based somewhere in Mittel Europa.

 

Feel a bit sorry for the athletes who false start!

    • Besides, I think Eitrem will be better than Ghiotto. You can see it after 1500 meters. He is younger. The whole Norwegian team is also in great shape. You just have to look at the team Norway has, how many new and young skaters there are and in our group A there is one Trentini, who takes last place. In every winter sport we invest too little money to be counted.
    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event
