Khodabandeh is probably the biggest choker i ever seen. She only and only had to beat a much lighter Filipino girl and she failed . I hope kimia qualifies tomorrow . Today was a big blow. :(:(:(:(:(

  • 1 month later...

European championship started today. Laachraoui Mourad (Belgium) in 54kg, Braganca Rui (Porugal) in 58kg, Romoldanova Iryna (Ukraine) in -46kg and Bogdanovic Tijana (Serbia) became European champions.

 

We saw a lot of surprises today. Tuncat lost in second round, Aziez lost in 1/4.

I'm somewhat cheering for the Belgian guy since the terrorist attacks in Brussels, where his brother was one of the terrorists....it's really great to see he won a European gold today to add some happiness :d

Asemani competes for Belgium at EC

 

So far so good, that's no problem I suppose...I mean, she is a Belgian athlete after all. 

Of course I really hope this doesn't mean she will compete for Belgium at the Olympics as well, that'd be bad.

Mohamed Ketbi (BEL) is having huge troubles for months already to stay under the 58kg limit. Apparently he's growing quite a lot (he's still young) and it's causing more and more problems. Didn't have a fight in his weight class since December and it looks like it's a very realistic option that he won't be going to Rio. Salaheddine Bensaleh seems to be in sight as a possible replacement..

This is somehow a good news, which means he won't be the last athlete in the ranking and Farzan won't face him in the first round. still it's dangerous which means this guy can get good results in Rio and advances to further rounds ! Farzan most probably will face the Thai guy in the first round

    • I really hope Nordic Combined doesn't get scrapped. Actually, I believe the Winter Olympics should keep growing with new sports and disciplines (3x3 Hockey, Ice Cross, Speed Skiing, Ice Climbing), otherwise they won't feel like a true celebration of sports like their summer counterpart.
    • In fact, well, no. Hockey is extremely physically demanding, I even think it is the most physically demanding winter sport of all. I mean keeping more than a minute on ice is just cardiac. The shifts are there for a reason.   25 players rosters are absolutely justified. You must have 4 lines to keep the stamina the whole game.   Hard to persuade people who never watched hockey though, I can understand your point, but sadly, the point is wrong
    • Stats are ok, but the time she losts on the range every time... My point was that she is more likely to make us losing the olympic relay than to make us winning it.  
    • I'll jump on the off-topic with an unpopular opinion - ice hockey isn't so stamina demanding to justify 25 people rosters. And it doesn't have big playing fields like football or rugby for example, where you'd require so many reserves. 15 field players + 3 goalies should be good. Or 18+3 at max. But 25 is too much imo and the constant substitutes are too much as well.
    • But her shooting surely never was horrendous, or even bad for her standards.
