It seems like the end for Tessie Savelkoul's Olympic dream: her leg was in a very, very weird position and she had to be stretchered off.

and finally the Judo World Tour is back...:cheer:

 

the first big tournament after the covid-19 break is the Grand Slam in Budapest, HUN

 

and this is the list of Day #1 Champions

 

Men's -60kg: :RUS Yago Abuladze

Men's -66kg: :RUS Abdula Abdulzhalilov

Women's -48kg: :KOS Distria Krasniqi

Women's -52kg: :FRA Amandine Buchard

Women's -57kg: :CAN Jessica Klimkait

 

not surprisingly Russia had a lot of success, as they really never stopped their home activity during this off period of the international action...

 

the second highlight of this day #1 is :UKR Daria Bilodid fighting in the -52kg class instead of her usual -48kg...unfortunately for her, she couldn't go beyond the bronze medal after losing against :ROU Andreea Chitu in the pool final...

Why did she participated at -52kg?

She's huge (for the weight) and probably has a lot of problems to stay under 48. I already said in a post 2 years ago that she would have problems with the weight post-adolescense. 

 

I don't know if it's already definitive switch or not (I don't think she would throw all the 48kg ranking points out of the window with Tokyo next year), but I'm 100% sure that she will have to go up to 52kg in the future.  

Krasniqi probably will have to do the same when Kelmendi retires as she's big too (I read an article about how she always has to lose 3kg before a competition and how awful it is for her).

yeah, you're right...

 

however, I'm pretty sure she's going to be in the 48kg class in Tokyo next year (if the Games are held, which at the moment is a big if, considered the develpoment of the covid situation all around the world)...

 

she's not ready to win in the -52kg yet, but it's clear that she's gonna need to move up at least a class, maybe after Paris 2024 even make another step towards the -57kg...:mumble:

 

Krasniqi was aready a -52kg competitor...she decided to go down in this 4-year span because she felt that she wouldn't stand a chance against Kelmendi and because Kosovo already have Gjakova in the -57kg class (going up a weight class was also an option, but in that case she would be quite small within the class other than the internal competition just named)...

 

in any case, after Tokyo there will be quite a good number of weight class changes, as usual...;)

      There were probably prime ministers in Israel in the 90s who wanted to negotiate peace. I don't remember the names but I remember them from the TV news at the time. There were negotiations between Arafat - Clinton and someone from Israel. Then Sharon came and everything went to waste.

      I'm having a bad day and I don't want to watch this. Only a decisive victory for Ghiotto tomorrow can reassure me that these 2026 games won't be a complete failure.

      Alpine Skiing FIS World Cup 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      https://www.fantaski.it/news/2024/11/22/tommaso-sala-si-rompe-il-crociato-in-allenamento.asp   Now the entire Italian team will be hanging on Vinatzer, who will finish maybe 30% of the races in the season. Tragedy. Sala was not an outstanding skier, but he could have made it to the top 10 several times. The biggest debacle in slalom in decades is coming  This winter seasons haven't even started yet but I'm fed up with him. We have regression in every discipline, Vittozzi disease, disaster in men`s alpine skiing, what else? Unfortunately, we have been much better in summer sports than in winter sports recently.

      Violette Braun is the first  woman in a World Cup since 2009. Today she obliterated the NR in the 1500 by 3 seconds (2'04) on a rather slow track. Second 1500 ever for her, first was in Inzell a few weeks back (2'07) with what seemed like very good conditions.   It means a lot of room for improvement and a good sign for the 3000 which is her real strong event at the moment - she lacks basic speed but had one of the fastest final laps today, 10th over Div A and B. Faster last than penultimate lap must be quite unusual too.
