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.
