Shooting inside a Texas church, two injured, gunman was then shot because it’s Texas there’s more idiots with guns inside the church :wacko:.

I’m glad they shoot the guy before he killed anyone, but on the other hand, if we are to the point where (multiple) people have to bring guns into to churches and houses of worship for their own safety, we’re fucked as a nation.

Somehow their are four major arguments, about four completely different issues, in four completely different threads right now. What is happening to Totallympics:hairpull:! It’s going to be a long night for the mods I’m afraid...

You're the one who wants politics mixing with sports so you should be extremely happy with this :dunno:

Really cool (very well made) documentary about the history and story of St. Helena Airport. The airport is not vitally useful to athletes on the island, so let’s hope it stays in use for a long time to come.

Also, why just not have “Judo Discussion Thread” instead of “Judo 2019 Discussion Thread” and “Judo 2020 Discussion Thread”. Personally I’d find it more useful just to have to read through one thread to find information.

@dcro I’d like to send you message about an equestrian story I’m looking into. Where would be the best place to contact you (you can PM me the answer).

      Fencing FIE World Cup 2024 - 2025

      By Illya · Posted

      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.
