promising day for :ITA with very disappointing finish :dunno:

 

Parlati is an idiot, that's confirmed once again...one of the greatest waste of talent in the Italian sport system :facepalm:

he just doesn't have the right attitude :pope:

 

Pedrotti did what she could, she won 2 not so easy matches and then raised the white flag against 2 stronger fighters...

7th place is better than the early expectations

 

Polling is the second big disappointment of the day...

she started well, she beat strong women like :CRO Cvjetko and :SWE Karlsson, but then she lost badly against :FRA Gahiè

actually, the bad thing isn't that she lost, but how she did it

finally, the actual disaster came in the repechage match vs :AIN Taimazova...that was a really bad loss

7th place for her is definitely below the expectations

 

Bellandi...this is a good case of study for some psychiatrists

basically, she owns the French players (and not only them) but at the same time she just can't fight Wagner, nothing works against the German

however, she had once again a great run despite not being at 100% of her shape (it was clear from the early fights that Today she wasn't as effective as in some other tournaments)

a world silver medal is still a great achievement and I hope (I think) she'll have some surprise ready for Wagner in Paris

She is a favorite for the medal but not for the gold. Someone here wrote earlier from Italy that Bellandi and Lombardo are favorites for gold in Paris. I don`t agree with that. The favorite could have been Riner at his peak.

I confirm my opinion...

 

Lombardo to me is a lock for Gold, he can lose only if he makes mistakes (or he's injured)...he's definitely better than any other 73kg fighter, except maybe for the Russian Lavrentiev (who however lost to our guy both times they faced each other, despite always giving him a big scare in those 2 matches)

 

and Bellandi is also a true gold medal contender...Wagner is a problem for her, but I'm pretty sure she has a few tricks left in the bag that she will throw out in Paris, should they meet (and if Wagner has to face Takayama before the final, I'm not so sure she's gonna be in the Olympic decider)

p.s. Takayama is not so scary...she won (quickly, too quickly) the last time she faced Bellandi, but her history is not like Abe or Tsunoda's...she's everything but unbeatable

 

however, the Olympics are a different beast...don't expect that tournament to be "logical", the history of medal favourites flopping because of the pressure of that given day is so long...

Polling is of course no longer at the top of her game. Also, she was very successful at Europeans, but somehow never at Worlds. On her day she can go far in Paris, but there is a reason she’s now starting for Italy: she hasn’t been the Dutch number one for years.

obviously she's nopt anymore on top of her game, but, as I wrote, I was disappointed by how she lost to ahiè, I knew she was going to lose, but not like a beginner as she did Today

then, I didn't expect her to lose vs Taimazova the way she did...in this case, she had the fight under control and made another stupid mistake I never saw her doing in the past (and not even at the Europeans or in Astana 2 weeks ago)

that's disappointing, not the placing in itself

I hope she'll do better in Paris (if she has a good draw...not being seeded, she might even get Gahiè in round 1 and...good night!)

I think that main pretendent in 73 kg is Heydarov from Azerbaijan: actually World and European Champion and number 1 in ranking. Lombardo lost in 2023 in final World Champ with Stump from Switzerland. For me it was quite a disappointment. I agree that both Lombardo and Bellandi are candidates for medals but there are a bigger favorites to win gold: current world champions: Heydarov and Wagner + possibly the Japanese in the Bellandi category.

Polling came mainly to strengthen Italy in team tournament. When it became clear that neither Italian would qualify in this category: Pedrotti and Esposito, it was decided to took for Polling, who at a similar time lost her chance to qualify in the Ned squad. No one is counting on her individual success and I believe that if it weren't for Martina Esposito's injury, the transfer of the Dutchwoman would not have happened.

Smart. She did not mention that in the interview I read.

 

You should not count her out; she’s not a clear medal favorite, but if she has her day and with  a little bit of luck with the draw and how the tournament develops, she could go far. 
 

in the early part of her career she really was a whirlwind, ending fights within seconds. But somehow she never managed to win a big medal.

    • Yes, we have learned the story of how this great musical event The Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2025 came into being and it's true we know that it is to take place in the Rock of Cashel. But dear audience you have another journey to make. You are bound by your physical realm where all these years of Celtic myth and glory are but a distant memory listed in the great annals of history. Ériu-Ceol invites you to her secret world, a plane where myth meets reality. By the time this music video has played, your very spirit will inhabit both worlds and you will have made your way to TISC Annual 2025!       Secret World - Ronan Hardiman    
    • So now you know the story of how this great musical festival came into existence, it's time for Ériu-Ceol to extend her welcoming embrace and reveal to you to the location for this year's TISC Annual 2025.   Beneath the Rock of Cashel did she sleep one thousand years and it is to this great monument of Ireland we are gathered to bear witness to this beautiful celebration of music!     The Rock of Cashel       The Rock of Cashel in county Tipperary is one of Ireland's most iconic ancient monuments. It served as the seat of many of the great High Kings of Ireland, the most famous being Brian Boru, who was crowned high King of Ireland in 990 in this ancient kingdom of Munster.   It is also said that on this spot, St.Patrick converted the pagan King Aengus to Christianity.     Some long-time TISC fans will remember this was also the venue for the TISC Open in 2015 and it holds a special place in my heart as it is where we found our mascot Séamus all those years ago and who has been by my side ever since on our TISC journeys
    • For centuries, while Ériu-Ceol had been in her slumber, her sister Fódla kept watch over the wild, the quiet places of the land. It is from this calm and serenity of the wilderness that Fódla first senses the awakening of her sister.     No war, no reckoning, no judgement does Ériu-Ceol embark on her re-awakening. Instead she stands upon the Hill of Tara, her voice amplified by the wind, calling forth the musicians from all corners of the globe to descend upon the Emerald Isle and create music so great and pure so as to deafen the noise of machine, the destruction of war and banish the silence of despair.     She declares a great music contest shall commence and the victor shall bear the Ór geal (the crown of gold) and the very wind itself will carry their melody across the land for another millennium until Ériu-Ceol will next return.     Fódla follows the whispering winds of Ériu-Ceol and is led to the Ór geal and sets forth to announce news of the great Song Contest across the land and overseas.         
    • Over the years, the Irish dreamt of the great occasion when their great goddess Ériu-Ceol would awaken from her slumber. One prophecy recorded in the Book of Inis Mór recounts that a great tremor beneath Ireland, known as the "Awakening Chord", will signal the return of Ériu-Ceol, and the island will begin to hum with melodic vibration.     Generation upon generation speculated as to what seismic event would bring upon the awakening. However, just as they sung Ériu-Ceol to her slumber, it would be the Spioraid Ceol who would awaken their goddess, not through earthquake or cataclysm, but by invoking her return through song, and just as Ériu-Ceol had foretold, she would awaken on the 1000th winter's thaw....       Invocation:       The Awakening:    
    • For centuries, the Spioraid Ceol maintained a tireless vigil over the mountains to pay homage to their goddess Ériu-Ceol until the day that her sweet soothing music will return to the valleys once again and restore the serenity that once prevailed.   Generations of Irish men and women, upon walking the hills in early morning and late evening, would recount stories of hearing the distant harmonies of the Spioraid Ceol, a most beautiful choir who sang their goddess to her slumber and will one day awaken from her long sleep.          
    • Introduction   In the mist-shrouded peaks of the Slieve Bloom Mountains, legend tells of Ériu-Ceol, the Celtic goddess of music. While her sisters Banba and Fódla claimed sovereignty over the soil, Ériu-Ceol claimed its spirit - the Amhrán Beatha or Song of Life. Along with her choir, the Spioraid Ceol, they filled the air with harmonious melodies that nurtured the land and all that inhabited it began to flourish.       The Great Slumber:   In the ancient days, when the Tuatha Dé Danann walked the land, the lilts of Ériu-Ceol and her choir were deafened by the din of iron and conquest. To preserve the pure meoldy of the land, Ériu-Ceol retreated to a hidden chamber beneath the Rock of Cashel. There, she instructed that her choir, the Spioraid-Ceol, cast a spell declaring that she would sleep for exactly one thousand years.   Before closing her eyes, she whispered into the earth, "When the thousandth winter begins to thaw, my heartbeat shall beat once more like a drum and the winds shall summons musicians from every corner of the earth to herald my return".
