I'm just curious....what do you expect someone like Prokopenko to do ? she's been in this sport for over 20 years,should she just retire because of what's going on ? ,this is someone who had to wait 9 years for her olympic medal from Beijing and won world championships late in her career do you expect her to just try to flee her country for.....where exactly ? here in Lithuania  ? sure,i wouldn't mind her finishing her career under our banner,many people would,so that's not really even a possibe option... 

Well I’m that like for biathlon & CC which we see on YouTube, there is still an active Modern Pentathlon Tour within Russia & they are probably making as much money as the international athletes are.  My theory is that when they come back they will have a generation of stars, because right now the Juniors are in the same competition as the Seniors every week

I don't really know the reson, she no longer enjoys the pentathlon and her goal is to finish the Olympic games and stop.

it's not exactly the most lucrative sport out there,it's also not really an easy one,despite everything done to shorten it up,actually that might be part of the issue,she  debuted when laser guns weren't even yet a thing in 2009,for sure the sport could of changed too much for her to enjoy it anymore,not sure what her take on the whole horse debacle is,i know she hated the ride early on in her time because fear of horses,but obviously she got over that later on.

What information do you need ? i'm asking you what  do you think she should do,since clearly you have an issue with her[or any belerussians] competing right now the way things are at the moment

It’s an imperfect world, but no, I don’t want them doing anything in Paris except taking a boat trip.

Meltdown for the ages for  Bence Demeter - came into the last shoot with a 5 sec lead….finished fifth.
 

 

 Olympic selection going to be a nightmare - Elgendy won today, Shaban third, Hamed fourth.  

 

 Balasz Szep got the Silver.

Don't know how they are going to do it.  Just say winner take all at the World Cup Finals in Bulgaria, but it will be cruel for somebody.  Too late to switch to !
