FIRIFIRICA WITH 66.07,CURRENT EUROPEAN LEAD . 

It's Firfirica, actually

Kristjan Čeh and Kanter part ways. This is the 2nd time that Čeh has "lost" his coach in an Olympic season. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't medal again.

I could accept the ''his first coach was an asshole'' story.Splitting off with Kanter out of nowhere.....yeah,no something is rotten in denmark,i'm getting the sense he's egotistical beyond it being justifiable.

Rumor is that his girlfriend is the cause. It was her fault that he split with his first coach (because he didn't want her to be present during training, and she wasn't having it so Čeh decided a few weeks before OG to break their contract), and she was the one that introduced him to Kanter.

I'm aware that the estonian girlfriend was the cause of the issue with the first coach.Can't see her having anything to do with this split.Gonna be really interesting to see how Ceh's season continues on,i saw someone suggest wolfgang as a coach for him on instagram,doubt it's gonna happen,especially with Ceh's record of doing what his coaches want him to do.

Lampič has done alright,i can't see Ceh being as good at hammer,he  would be too skinny for it
