I'm glad that Teršek won, but I hopped for a throw closer to 80m. Still first Slovenian gold medalist after Cankar 30 years ago. Javelin isn't easy and to be able to throw 80m at 17 shows he has promise to go a lot further. Fingers crossed he makes it. 

 

Also good result for Cyprus in men's hammer. Crazy good throw that one.

I don't know if we're taking this championship less seriously? Because our results are terrible... I have a déjà vu from our performances at the senior World Championships 10-15 years ago. It's a bit strange, because among the seniors we attack with a wide bench, the U-18 European Championships this year went great for us, and here we have 1x 6th place and that's it. It's a bit worrying...

it's just this age group...the only star is Furlani, but after the Olympic bronze medal it doesn't make sense for him to compete at junior level once again

 

meanwhile the best cadets are still too young to shine at the higher level...not to mention the 2009 sprinters (Doualla above all), who are not even eligible to take part in the junior competitions

 

in 2 years time, I'm sure we will have a better team, meanwhile this year let's hope that the usual suspects in race walking save us from "0 tituli"

 

tbh, better be invisible at junior level and become medal contenders later among the seniors than viceversa

We have 1 bronze, but it's not even about the medals. 2 years ago we won 2 medals: 1 gold and 1 bronze but we were 12th in the points classification with 38 points. Now, before the last day, we won't have even half of that achievement. Something is wrong, because 2/3 of our athletes are starting badly here and are completely out of shape. I don't understand why, because under the new management of Fidal we did well, which is visible in both seniors and juniors results. This year at the U-18 European Championships we won the medal classification, when I`m surprised by the terrible performance in Lima. And it's not even about whether Furalni would have won an additional gold here or not. The facts are that we sent a large team, which is doing badly for the most part and this is probably the 1st such big mistake since the new president of the our federation.

Same with :GBR, after three other major events this year there was definitely a loss of focus for this one.

Järvinen and Trościanka very impressive. A shame Gräber could not compete. +8000 u20 decathletes tend to fare quite well later so this is a good sign for the future of the sport if this was still needed.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
