Dutch 15 year old swimmer Liesette Bruinsma broke the S11 50m freestyle world record yesterday in Dordrecht (NED). Her swimming in S11 means she is blind...what did she get as reward for breaking the WR? A coupon for the local cinema :mumble:

As I am into horse dressage, I have been taking care of a 10 year old boy named Orlando for the past couple years or so. He is great with disabled riders and used to train with  Sophie Christiansen who won a silver medal a few years ago. Wishing her the best of luck this year, glad to have been part of it even though it was a small one :)

Six nations win gold in Downhill on Day 1 of the Para Alpine Skiing World Championships

160801075950975_Tarvisio.JPG?itok=ExQoXN

 

Six nations (Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain and USA) won gold in the six Downhill classifications in Tarvisio this morning.

 

In the Women's Visually Impaired Great Britain's Millie Knight won gold, leading home multiple Paralympic champion Henrieta Farkasova from Slovakia, with Eleonor Sana from Belgium winning bronze. But this event was a bittersweet victory for the British team, as Kelly Gallagher suffered serious injuries during her Downhill training run, bringing an early end to her competition.

 

In the women's standing class, ever dominant Marie Bochet won gold for France, with close rival Andrea Ruthfuss having to settle for silver. In a close North American battle for bronze, Canada's Alana Ramsay pipped USA's Stephanie Jallen, sparking a rivalry that is likely to continue in the races to come.

 

Anna Schaffelhuber delivered yet again on the biggest stage, beating Austria's Claudia Loesch by 0.2 seconds to win gold for Germany. As is common in the seated events the Japanese were yet again a strong force, winning bronze through Momoka Muraoka, but she was still some 4 seconds adrift of the top two.

 

In the men's visually impaired Canada's leading man Mac Marcoux continued his success at world championships by winning gold ahead of Yon Santacana of Spain and Miroslav Haraus of Slovakia, with less than a second separating the top 3 the men's visually impaired class will be hotly contested over the coming races.

 

In the men's standing the largest field of all for the speed events was seen, with 18 finishers. However, topping the pile was Austria's Markus Salcher, who led from start to finish in this closely contested category. Canada's Kirk Schornstein won silver with Jeffrey Stuut winning bronze for the Netherlands. But with just 3 seconds separating the top 10 skiers the future races are likely to be very tight.

 

Finally, Andrew Kurka of the USA made up for a spat of 4th place American finishes by winning gold in the sitting event, sending New Zealands Corey Peters and Japan's Akira Kano into silver and bronze medal position.

 

At the end of Day 1 Canada lead the medals table, with 3 medals and 1 gold, with Austria and Germany close behind with both nations on 2 medals and 1 gold. Tomorrow the Super-G events will take place with broadly similar fields, many of the smaller nations and less experienced skiiers will join in the Slalom and Giant Slalom races early next week.

I would be SHOCKED if Slovakia failed to win a gold off the back of a season of very impressive performances so far. In the women's VI I reckon every race will be close between Knight and Farkasova (if they both finish), I can see Knight with the edge in the speed events and Farkasova in the technical.

 

The men's VI is basically wide open in every event, so you could be 1st or 5th really easily! Hopefully Marek Kubacka can perform well in the technical races and maybe pick up a gold or two!

    • We don’t even have a broadcaster or streaming platform for the games ! IOC couldn’t get any deal for the Indian viewers and we can’t watch this games live ! 
    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
    • Dunno if this is geoblocked, but this is from our weekly comedy show Saturday Night Live
