Damn, missed this live, but here’s the highlights.  From :FIN it’s the big one in the world of Wife-Carrying, the annual World Championships.  NB make sure you have the CC enabled, unless you speak Finnish.  The sport us somewhat misnamed, as the pairs need nit be husband & wife.

The 12th korfball world championships were played in Taiwan, with all matches played in Taipei I believe. After 11 consecutive :NED - :BEL finals - with Belgium taking a legendary world title in 1991 and the Netherlands winning the other 10 - Belgium was actually knocked out in the semi's this time....by Taiwan :yikes: (which has been the 3rd country for a while already)

 

Today was the final, Netherlands - Taiwan, in which things went back to normal and the Netherlands took an easy win after a bit of a rough start: 27-11. Belgium finished in 3rd after beating :CZE 26-11.

15th place at WCh is I believe very solid result for a country where I literally find the word Korfball in a media only last week for the very first time in my life

 

So well done, Team :SVK whoever you are folks

Mercy rule is for children's sports :d 

 

I'm surprised Slovakia was there, but even more positively surprised that it was actually even mentioned in the media there (no matter how small it is, it's interesting that it's mentioned) :cheer:

Yep, a day to remember. 23.10.2023

 

I found this article with 3 sentences, but still better than nothing I guess :d

 

Korfball - WCh: The match with the Czech Republic was fatal, Slovakia will not play for medals :p

 

Slovak national Team in korfball will not compete for medals at the WCh in Taiwan. They lost to the Czech Republic 13:21 on Monday in a direct battle for advancement to the quarterfinals. On Tuesday, Slovakia's next match against Catalonia will determine the final position in the super-round Group I. If successful, they will fight for the final 9-12. place, a loss will condemn them to the fights for 13.-16. the place.

      Many things, probably they thought it is already over and the win will come itself... but also Nitra improved their play a lot, they outplayed us in physicality in the last 2 games, they won almost every duel. Was hard to watch. Anyway I am still persuated we will finish the job at home with success on Tuesday

      If you look at their results this season and on the Super Series, it’s not really that surprising.    I’d consider them to be medal contenders.

      At one point it seemed we were making good progress in this sport, but in the past 1-2 years things seem to have hit a standstill..   Ivaylo Ivanov is still our only elite judoka, but he is passing 30. There were/are some promising youngsters, but they haven't been able to make a jump to the senior level. At this Euro we barely had any first round wins (not including Ivanov). In fencing and taekwondo the results are much more visible for us.

      yes, but that's only an (important) episode... I mean, what's up with your team more in general...it looks like they got the classic "fear to win", they're not as brilliant as they were in the early games of the series

      after a few leagues ended well before the true climax, now we have both leagues from the good, old Czechoslovakia going to game #7    shame that both games will be at the exact same time
