There's Danilovic, ffs. She's gonna outshine Graf and Serena! :bowdown: How come you didn't know that?! :lol:

 

Ivana and Nina are irrelevant, on the other hand - they have no famous parents. :lol: 

 

Future GOAT for sure.

At least I believe all of them will make top 100 occasionally with such field.

I can totally see Ivana having a bright future, but her body seems to be quite injury-prone. She's already had a couple of serious injuries and she's only 19. :( 

 

Back on topic. I think Wozniacki deserves a mention in this thread. She was indeed born and raised in Denmark, but still she's fluent in Polish and always speaks in Polish with her father and the rest of her family.

Also, Garbine Muguruza was born in Venezuela to Basque or Catalan father (I'm not 100% sure) and Venezuelan mother, before moving to Spain at age of 3. She was really close to start representing Venezuela at some point of her career, but at the end she decided to keep playing under Spain's flag.

  • 2 months later...

From Mexico there will be one naturalized athlete... Kevin Chavez (little traitor :p) will represent Australia in 3m Springboard... not only Australia robbed us one good coach in that discipline (well to be fair, he was not appreciated by the corrupt federation here) now they steal the upcoming talent...

 

The other competitor that had previously competed for Mexico is Jackie Galloway (USA, tae kwon do)... she wasnumber 3 on the national team, behind Rosario Espinosa and Briseida Acosta in +67 Olympic category, so she opted to compete for her country of birth (she holds dual citizenship).

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
