We lost the americup after leading by 20 pts against a USA team with majority of D-League players :facepalm:

U.S.A won this Cup, for me is positive thinking in the future, what should think all the others teams which was defeated bad for this team?

Argentina introduced some new players. They are not in the level of the golden generation ones but i think they will keep Argentina in a satisfied level in future world competitions

Despite every single problem in the last 20 years, and our best player being absent because he's a diva, 3rd place for Mexico is not bad at all :d

Who is that stupid player?

Gustavo Ayón, who plays with Real Madrid Basket and also played in the NBA... he was the team leader; but shortly before Olympic qualification tournament last year he started to behave like he was the only capable of making the team work, even managing to bring the arrogant a***ole that is our National Sports Comissioner to beg him to play; he had some goood points for not joining the team at that point, but after that, he's just using the lacm of proper planning to avoid being called to the team.

    • Yep. Not sure if it was the NOC or the biathlon federation (I assume the latter) that put him in the Livigno training 'world' with a former Italian biathlete as coach, but they can definitely also be blamed:  almost everyone involved in that shitshow got the motivation just sucked out of them by the methods and shitty atmosphere until they either retired or changed country

    • Lots of injuries, including often just pure bad-luck stuff like a fall from a set of stairs, illness, and of course the Sochi tragedy in 2014: one of her biathlon friends, young Julia Pieper, killed herself with a biathlon rifle early during the Olympics (she wasn't on the team, but was a training partner of both Preuss and Dahlmeier). Obviously a hard hit, which led to terrible Olympics for Preuss, with a DNF, awful results in her other individual races and a relay where she was the first runner for Germany, but fell early on, got snow in her rifle and broke a pole and ended up losing almost 3 minutes, which in turn resulted in Germany being off the podium for the first time ever.   After that came all the injuries and illness and everything. So glad to finally see her have her big individual global gold, that is so well deserved.
