Definitively the best possible outcome from a sporting standpoint. No disrespect to Spain or South Africa but neither are baseball nations, unlike Taiwan and especially Nicaragua.
Oh yeah, and we can be recognized by a big banner with "Nunspeet" (our hometown) on it, and I'm carrying a Dutch-Brazilian flag, which I'll hold in a certain way to let Bruna know how she's doing when she is halfway
Excellent! The two teams I wanted to qualify qualified. Both Taiwan and Nicaragua live and breathe baseball and it would've been disappointing to see either of them miss out.
I have nothing against Spain itself but having their team qualifying would've been a joke. Only ONE player on the team was born in Spain. The rest are players from the DR, Venezuela and Cuba who had some great grand parent who came from Spain.
On one hand yay the old german fossil is finally no longer president,and Rob Stull.....is an interesting pick to be the new federation head but just by his current age i'm gonna assume he's not gonna be there 30 plus years so,i guess it's fine.
on the other hand,oh boy this new obstacle concept is already flopping,Elzbieta adomaitytė didn't score any points from it.....and made the semis anyways...the least they could of done is do what they did with riding the whole time where it wasn't in the qualfication and semifinal rounds,Elzbieta[no offense to her at all,she's young,she can get to the elite level] isn't among the bestwomen in the sport,if she can manage to fail this part and advance,then i can assure you plenty of top names[the older athletes] will be able to do the same[some might even do it intentionally] 'm still mad this was there idea of an alternative,they could of inserted long jump and it would of done the trick instead of this childish waste of time.
I prefer Italian way than Dutch way. Due to it, Italy has more chances to fan athletes in many sports and disciplínes than Netherlands.
Moreover it makes possibilities for public to discover and start to do sport which they want or in which they are good at.
Medals are not everything.
