Very uninteresting WC so far. Not a good haul on centuries for now, Trump gone already and players gifting victories to Ronnie. :whistle:

 

Trump? :p

Yeah, none other than Judd Trump, second-ranked player in the world. :p

His high standard of offensive play got him there but he was injured so couldn't play his full potential. He isn't liked by everybody but I like him. :d

Plus Luca Brecel throwing away a very good chance at a nice upset :(

 

 

 

Yes, that's another thing I've noticed about these Championships. Those with a big lead crumble and let their opponents come back again. :rolleyes:

A 7-1 should really be converted into a victory but what does "should" mean in the world of sports.

I thought I'm the only one here in this forum following Snooker :p

 

btw we could have a player in main draw for the very first time, Vafaei lost a match he could win to Ford in the last qualifier after missing some easy shots in last frames, most probably because lack of experience.

first time I started watching snooker in Eurosport (almost 10-12 years ago) this sport almost didn't even exist in Iran . so having two players in the pro tour is quite a progress in such a short time.

Vafaei is the guy who recently beat Judd Trump? My 'Iranian surprisingly beats Trump' headline on a Dutch website got a lot of views there :d

oh yes he is, in China open

 

looks like he gets more headlines outside of Iran :d he always writes about that in his instagram posts, have to say he is very upset about this.

    • There is a transgender volleyball player here in Brazil; there was even a recent controversy (this year) when a city banned her from playing in a certain competition, which ended up in court, ultimately in her favor.   But the situation is much simpler than that; the reason for this decision is because of the two female boxers who won at Paris 2024 (who apparently are not transgender).

    • there were rumors about it for quite a while, but as I wrote, it was never confirmed so, it might well be just some haters throwing out some shit on her 🤷
    • Where did you get that?   I'm not sure I would have considered her to have dissapeared from out of nowhere, at least since after Tokyo... she did win medals at the next two World Championships. I think it's just recently, she's been struggling with injury which is why she's completely out of form... 
    • Even though I'm not the biggest fan of her, always sucks to see a career ending through injury and not on your own terms 
    • This is going to have an effect on very likely 0 athletes, possibly 1 or 2 we don't really know about yet. It's really mostly the cheapest possible way for them to make a sort of political statement, without having any significant backlash since it won't really affect anyone at the top level of international sports.   Edit: worded a bit wrong, I was thrown off by everywhere 'trans women' being mentioned as the target of this. Of course there is also the somewhat larger category of DSD and the likes, which will certainly affect a few athletes - unfortunately they are often thrown under the bus or mentioned as 'not really women anyway' or something like that, despite, you know, being.
