Meanwhile, the finale in Valencia is cancelled, as it should be considering the circumstances there (even if racing was possible, they really shouldn't). Question is still where it will be held now.

I'm happy for Ogura. He could have won that title two years ago but needlessly tried to pass Augusto Fernandez when the latter was behind in points and needed to be aggressive.

IIHF prepares Olympic 3x3 proposal   Official bid goes to IOC early next year   From IIHF.com  

Katie Boulter might be the most popular Brit in Hong Kong since 1997 judging by the crowd support. And she's into the 250 final there.

Awful end to the season 

It depends on what you all follow I think, for me it's more or less the same as for you  I've had one real weekend of watching winter sports (last weekend, with shorttrack and alpine skiing), the next one with multiple sports is still a few weeks away     Wengen, Kitzbühel, indeed, then we're well on the way for real.

Bagnaia throwing away basically his last real chances for the world title by going down entirely unprovoked in Malaysia's sprint  (with Martin in 1st)

Elena Rybakina hires Goran Ivanisevic as her new coach for the 2025 season!   Didn’t expect Goran to coach her, so far he’s only coached men. 

Another two WR’s so far in Singapore, and Marchand’s is arguably the most impressive ones of the entire Series (alongside Douglass’s recent one probably)   Leon Marchand smoked Ryan Lochte’s WR (1:49.63) in the men’s 200m individual medley, becoming the first man to swim under 1:49 at 1:48.88.  Noe Ponti went 21.50 in the men’s 50m butterfly, undercutting his previous WR mark of 21.67 from Shanghai. 

Apparently, there’s been discussion on a trade involving  Kiera Van Ryk and  Paola Egonu, that would send Egonu back to Vakifbank and Van Ryk to Milano    Personally I hope nothing goes through for my sake at least… Turkish League matches are free on YouTube while the Italian League is PPV on VBTV. My beach pass doesn’t cover it, and I’d rather eat shit then give them any more of my money
