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" :)

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
