Irma claimed the lift of Xavier ‘Dag’ Samuels, an athletics coach from :IVB. 

 

"Samuels has guided the career of McMaster, who this year, ran a world-leading time of 47.80 seconds at the Jamaica International Invitational on May 20."

 

:(

And Jose is still on it's way to St Maarten and co, hopefully it makes a turn in the last moment.. (although some forecasts say it will make a very strange 360 degree loop north of those islands and then turn around to Florida)

Everyone are talking about those hurricanes and earthquake, while in the same time in whole Poland we can observe aurora right now :d It's very rare here and especially when is summer.

    • Italian governmanet issued a statement:   The Vice President of the Council of Ministers and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Antonio Tajani, and the Minister for Sport and Youth, Andrea Abodi have issued this joint note:   The Italian Government expresses its absolute opposition to the decision of the Internazionale Paralympic Committee to admit to participating in the Milan Cortina 2026 Paralympics for Russian athletes and four Belarusian athletes with the display of their national emblems, inno compreso.   The Italian government reiterates the dissent already expressed, together with other 33 nations and the European Commission, on the decision of full reinstatement of the Russian and Belarusian Paralympic Committees assumed by the General Assembly of the International Paralympic Committee last September 27, and renews its own full solidarity and its own unconditional support for Ukraine. Ask, inoltre, al Comitato Paralimpico Internazionale to reconsider this decision. The persistent violation of the truce and Olympic and Paralympic ideals by Russia, supported by Belarus, is incompatible with the participation of athletes in the Games, if they do not come as individual neutral athletes.   https://www.esteri.it/en/sala_stampa/archivionotizie/comunicati/2026/02/tajani-abodi-governo-contrario-decisione-comitato-paralimpico-internazionale-sulla-russia/
    • The Canadian who went down with Sighal also didn't advance. There was no advantage for Canada. The only decision was if Sighal would advance, and the official said no. No one advanced. Even if you think it was an unfair ruling, it didn't benefit Canada in any way.    Meanwhile, several Canadians have been penalized throughout the competition, just like every other country. One even got a yellow card. Dandjinou was on his way to a medal, but was bumped in the final and lost. Our women today were bumped by the Koreans and nothing was done. These things happen in short track. At no time did any decision benefit a Canadian, whether you agree with it or not. 
    • I think I'll go with 8 this time. Brazil did very well in all sports, except for the girl in Alpine Skiing who, from what I've read, is a DNF magnet. Even so, it's our first participation in Women's Alpine Skiing in years.   As for the organization, honestly, some things have disappointed me, the way they're handling unforeseen events...
    • The Italian federation has issued an official stance – I hope they finally take a closer look at this Hungarian clown. I just hope it's not like someone wrote here, where the former Canadian skater makes the decisions and that Hungarian just announces them.   https://www.fisg.it/short-track-milano-cortina-2026-presidente-gios-grande-delusione-e-amarezza-per-il-trattamento-del-giudice-nei-confronti-di-pietro-sighel/
    • We lost the gold to Korea, but if we were going to lose to anyone, it was them- the country that is the cradle of this sport, not the Netherlands, which only seriously entered the sport eight to last 8-10 years ago and created serial dominators, like in speed skating, track cycyling, etc. I simply can't like their model, where they create athletes for serial victories in 2/3 selected disciplines. 
    • https://worldcurling.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/2023-The-Rules-of-Curling.pdf p. 45 I think has what you're looking for.
    • By the way, those shot % by position are really interesting.  USA's only standout is their lead, at #1 at the moment, while skip, #2 and vice are 7th, 8th, and 9th respectively among their position peers.   seems USA would hardly have any wins at all without that lead performing so spectacularly.  Maybe that lead should be skip next time.  well, maybe not, I guess it depends on whether his weighted shots are as good as his draw shots.
