100 days until the world championships.

 

Quote

“Nobody can say today how the situation will develop until the end of February. We are still optimistic, but realistic enough to take additional measures, plan the World Championships with a limited number of spectators and with a very valid hygiene concept”, Stern said in his address to the group. 

I so badly hope that will come true :p

Can the Bruksvallarna races be seen anywhere? If so, I'll avoid the results until I've seen it. If not, I'll just look at the results :d

Meanwhile in Brazil, the national rollerski circuit is coming to a close these days, with today the first of five races in six days - a 5 and 10 kilometer freestyle mass start.

 

The women's win went to - who else - @brunamoura, who fought off Mika Picin basically the entire race. Mika accelerated, Bruna accelerated and on it went until the final climb was done and it was a dowhill followed by a flat with strong wind in the back, where Mika couldn't close the gap anymore. Third place for Duda Ribera.

The men's win went to Victor Santos, who will most likely be Brazil's male representative in the 2022 Olympics. In a final sprint, he beat Yuri Rocha and Chilean Yona Fernandez, also known as @Jesús. Interesting fifth place for one Wilbert Rodrigues, doesn't happen often that I've never heard of a top-5 finisher in these races.

Day two, classic sprints this time.

 

A very convincing victory for @brunamoura, who destroyed everyone (and her own PB) in the qualifying and then finished miles ahead of Duda Ribera and Tatah da Silva in the final.

 

The men's win went to Lucão Lima, after all these years he finally got his first sprint win! He narrowly beat out Yuri Rocha and Victor Santos, who kept the Chileans @Jesús and Martin Flores (a new name for me, he was fastest in qualifying!) out of the podium.

 

Next up: the 5 and 10 kilometers classic with individual start tomorrow.

Day three, classic interval start and the women's overall title has been decided with two races to go (Tuesday and Wednesday): @brunamoura convicingly won the race and with that the overall Brazilian Rollerski Circuit title for the 6th consecutive year :woohoo: 

 

Bruna won the race with a big new PB, half a minute faster than last year when she was in more or less top shape, which she isn't yet now (focus is on the world championships). Second place for Mika Picin, third for Duda Ribera, a day after her 16th birthday.

@Jesús won the men's race with a twenty second margin over Yuri Rocha, whereas Victor Santos was a minute behind the Chilean.

Rest day tomorrow, then it's the final races of the rollerski circuit.

I'm coming to the conclusion that you might be a little obsessed with Bruna. ;)

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
