I am not sure how many care about this, but I think it will be interesting how this European medal table will go without Russia.    European Championships + Aquatics European Championships m

Oh, wait... Hosszú is OUT in 400 IM. :yikes: Welp, that's that, hopefully Mihályvári or Jakabos can win 400 IM now that they eliminated Hosszú. 

don't worry, it's an easy 1-2 for HUN in the women's 400m IM...

 

for what concerns Milak, it's not a problem, as the 100m fly semi is after the 100m free final...and Milak would qualify for the final even with just 1 arm...I mean, with a 51.5 the top 8 is more than safe...

I am amazed at how much the Hungarian broadcast is like during the Summer Games. I mean, they are completely all-in on this event, to the point where they randomly start airing live a table tennis women's doubles match in the Round of 64, after which they showed para rowing. These are matches/events you would NEVER ever see live on Hungarian TV if they wouldn't have combined the European Championships into this multi-sport thing.

same here...you never see sport climbing or triathlon on our tv...but this time they get a lot of TV time...

 

still, I'd like to have a better organization (and most times better broadcasters) by our tv, they always make a mess in their coverage...

I rarely watch rowing so it kinda shocked me that there were only TWO boats in the non-Olympic lightweight event. We could have entered a Hungarian boat with 4 random lightweight guys and we would have the bronze. :d Wtf is the point of this event if almost no one wants to participate?

by the way, I have to say that maybe our friend @heywoodu is really right about the rules in the sport climbing's lead...

 

they should really use the time as tie-breaker...

 

you just can't have 4 people tied and determine the 2 going forward to the final based just on the previous round's result...

 

as I wrote earlier, I know why they're doing it, but it's too unfair to the athletes...they must change the rules, especially now that they're an Olympic sport and have more media coverage and average audience than before...

well, a few years ago it wasn't like that...all the lightweights categories used to have a decent number of participants (and there was a full 6 boat program, Eights included)...

 

right now, instead, 99% of teams only focus on the olympic classes...and if they really screw the LW doubles from the olympic games, the whole LW category is going to die (except for singles and double sculls, only ITA and GER still have some depth in the LW category)...

 

I think in the next few years they're just going to cancel these events, as they did with others, which aren't in the program anymore...

It’s all about funding. The national federations have to focus everything on the Olympics to justify the grants they receive 

 

The singles is used as a rep for the third choice double sculler but the pairs and fours that used to have quite a few entries are now effectively done

I guess my "plan" wasn't as smart as I thought. Only the Italians are getting medals for this event, so we couldn't have entered some randos to win the bronze.

It’s basically the leftovers from the lightweight four.  Some nations :DEN :IRL make the LW 4 a big focus.

      Pretty crazy, just imagine if they won the World Baseball Classic (though personally I equate the two pretty closely).

      WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.

      Alpine Skiing FIS World Cup 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...

      Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
