 I mean the last meters he was trying to overtake him in the line, Doll clearly had to made one more higher effort and it helped Doll to win these 0.7 seconds. simple maths :evil:

If Doll wasn't so good, JTB's coaches wouldn't have motivated him to keep fighting for gold, this made JTB go faster, so he should thank Doll for that, simple maths :teacher:

Tomáš Hasilla finished 16th today, He achieved his careers result with perfect shooting :thumbup: the 50th skiing time placed him on final 16th place. Clearly the best seasons mens result. Congrats Tomáš what a moment to achieve careers best and do it at the world championships :cheer: After yesterdays 8th place of Kuzmina and a relatively good 12th place in the mixed relay, we can say it´s a very nice strat of the world championships for us.

Unfortunately the goal to try to qualify all 4 guys for the pursuit failed only Hasilla and Otčenáš managed to qualify. Šíma missed it by almost nothing and Kazár was very fast today 37th skiing time only 65 seconds behind Fourcade but throwing everything away once again in the prone shooting range...

 

In the Nations Cup we are still 16th but only 3 points ahead of Slovenia, 18th Romania is some 450 points behind. and for the olympics 21st Latvia  608 points behind still 8 qualifying races to go

Well, I didn't believe that I would have something to write about during these championships on Lithuania, but I was pleasantly surprised. Basically, all of the team except one athlete came back home from mountain training and got sick leaving them with no training before these championships. Both Kaukėnas and Strolia were amongst those unfortunate with sickness, but they still managed to put a smile on my face and keep me entertained. When I saw Tomas only 3s, 5s off from Fourcade on the first splits, I was honestly petrified what that would mean to his shooting (he's not a very reliable shot) and to see him leaving the 1st shooting range in 1st position was an amazing feeling of excitement that I've lost for some years after miserable performances. Although he couldn't keep up with what he did on the first part of a race, having the 6th loop time is something promissing.

 

And another thing that happened is that it's the first time when Lithuania qualifies two people in the same pursuit race on the men's side. Vytautas Strolia, former cross-country skiier finally got everything together in the shooting range and achieved his personal best result in Biathlon.

 

Hopefully, this won't be the last good news from team Lithuania.

 

Also, very happy for Doll's first victory and someone else to have denied Fourcade the 1st position, nice to have the Boe's reunited, a very solid performance from team Bulgaria, now hoping Schempp and Peiffer could advance in the pursuit. As for the women, I am not a big fan of Koukalova (I like her personality though) and I guess that comes from the fact that I usually cheer for her competition, so nice work for Laura Dahlmeier, the fight for the crystal globe is very entertaining this year and reminds me the wonderful Henkel/Neuner/Ekholm/Makarainen/Berger/Domracheva fights. I always support team Italy, although it wasn't Wierer, I am very happy for Vittozzi and Sanfilippo. Also, I hope to see Oberhofer back as soon as possible in top condition. Happy to see a stronger Sweden and of course about tomorrow, KAISA MAKARAINEN for the gold!!!!! :yes

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
    • Dunno if this is geoblocked, but this is from our weekly comedy show Saturday Night Live  
    • I don't buy that she's doing this just to start the race if she thinks she won't be competitive.  We'll probably know more after the training run and far be it from me to know how that's going to work with a torn ACL, but if she knows she can't do it, she'll give that spot to another skier
