@bmo Roman is doing some nice coverage of the match on the live if you want to hop over there and read some interesting facts for a few minutes.

Eh 26-15 not the worst lost today. In fact it’s the closest game :p. I’d say our ladies have improved a bit, even if they’re fighting for 4th-7th

I have been checking it every so often.  I have also been watching Yankees vs Twins for the past hour or so as well.

I have to be honest with you. Baseball is in my bottom 5 sports around the world, but I guess I still appreciate the good games. Thank You for reading our blog every so often too, it means a lot. It will get more useful and better when there’s like 12 sports running at the same time.

Pretty easy game for the women. We’ll win the pool I think. We’ll see if we can go farther than the quarterfinals.

After 5 games, the U.S. men’s doubles bowling team is in 3rd place with a score of 2211.  They are behind Mexico & Puerto Rico 

In all honesty as long as we’re no more than 250/400 points behind the leaders we will still be very much in contention for the gold in the second block.

@bmo I didn’t expect the Trinidad and Tobago pair to be that good. That was a fun game for the men. That sky serve is wild.

    • Italy will boycott the Azeri stage for protest against the international federation.
    • Likely for Tannheimer, quite unlikely for Galmace Paulin. She's far from being assured to even start in the WC before turning 20. Basically she'd have to get a spot this season, which could actually happen if she takes the extra-ticket at the JWCH. Anyway I don't see her making her way to gold in Oslo. Tänglander has a few seasons to do it, we'll see.       Quite surprisingly so, indeed. Barring her horrendous finish Richard would have made it 2 in one go. We should have some more names in the list in 2025.
    • There are some of Slovakia's finest young squads at the World Juniors in recent years
    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
