Here's the direct Olympic qualification schedule. Overall up to 71 events will offer direct quotas to the Olympics (in archery, diving & tennis it depends on the results). I did not include trampo

Hi folks! Here I'm at Santiago de Chile.   I've been to athletics, gymnastics and field hockey. Sadly I saw not a single Uruguayan competitor.   The Estadio Nacional has a white co

I wanted to watch the basque pelota finals, but they aren’t being shown by PanamSports or the domestic broadcasters :(

 

TYC Sports Play might have it, but their player isn’t very stable for me.

Guess I won’t be watching the softball final either :dunno:

 

It almost feels like having 1/4 of the sports program on a single day isn’t the brightest idea…

Games fatigue is hitting me hard today. It's been fun following these, but I am ready to close the curtains on this thing.

Commentator calling the skaters “riders,” which is one of the easiest ways to get under my skin. 
 

We have a specific word in English for this activity! You ride a horse. You ride a bike. You skate on wheels (or ice)!

 

Normally not a stickler for language, but this is my hill (linguistically).

1000m is a great event for showing off the sport. I’m glad World Skate/PanamSports added it to the program. 
 

I still prefer the distance races myself, but of the sprints, this is the best format without question.

:HON wins bronze in wrestling, the 35th NOC to win a medal here. Unlikely any of the others will. So my prediction from earlier came true lol. All 4 countries that did not medal won medals from that post, from the sports I suggested. I should do the lottery :p

2 more bronze for independent athletes (:GUA) in Karate Do, first time ever to reach double digits for bronze, 11 so far. 

 

Honduras (:HON) with bronze in Greco Roman. Only Belize without a medal in Central American.

 

With 6 gold, 10 silver and 22 bronze, 38 total medals, new record for Central American countries, for total medals.

      Fencing FIE World Cup 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      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.
