Thanks for all supports and congratulations. A huge result and totally unexpected medal for us, unbelievable success. Congrats to Volko.

 

unfortunately I can not entirely celebrate and enjoy this historic moment. because just at same time as he run the final, we had a huge tragedy in our family and my stepfather passed away tonight. very very sad evening for me and especially my mom...maybe during next days I´ll not be so much online and will not post everything as I did...but I´ll try my best to post at least the essential things when I´ll find a few of time.

Thanks for your comprehension

Akani Simbine became the first south african sprinter to run sub 10 (9.93 s) and sub 20 (19.95 s) at 100/200 m the same day and i think there are not too many guys in history running sub 10 and sub 20 in their career. 18 year old Clarence Munyai from South Africa ran 20.10 s (200 m) recently and is now the 5th fastest U20 athlete ever, only 0.17 s away from Usain Bolt's junior world record. South Africa is extremely impressive in mens sprint (100/200/400 m) and it also shows in mens long jump. I dont know what happened in Rio with their relay, but if they dont completely mess up in London, they should win a medal with Simbine, Jobodwana, Van Niekerk and one of their young guys (Munyai, Leotlela). I think we have very exciting times ahead and the american/jamaican dominance might be ended by Japan/South Africa. GB, Canada, Germany and China also should have pretty fast relays for the next couple of years, so mens 4 x 100 m relay might be one of the most competitive events in athletics and probably all sports.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Did I miss something or is Bukowiecki really saying eating carrots is his new 'thing'? :d 

 

It sounds like our Dafne Schippers and her magical vegetables :p 

it was an irony joke but part of it was deleted although parts of German jokes about Bukowiecki are not being deleted

 

as always here...german provocateur is favorized. No.....by carrot i thought of....sth like in Monty Python...and i`m still sure that also some German athletes like "carrots" :)

    • Apparently this season will be last one in Kamil Stoch career if his results wont be enough good for his standards.
    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba? 
    • europe will arrest Satanyahu except hungary
    • Wooow Canada    Trudeau Confirms Canada Will Arrest Satanyahu Upon Visit After World Court Order   https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv.com/world-news/canada-to-go-uk-way-on-netanyahu-arrest-trudeau-says-will-abide-by-icc-warrant-7086684/amp/1   This is the response of jew lobby : we gonna destroy the canadian economy      
    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
