:cry: Why does it always the Mexican Men's team has to throw everything away; losing 6-2 to Israel won't help their chances, but again, I was expecting a miracle

Quarterfinal - 3Avs2B

Finland - Sweden  4-0

 

Finns outclass Sweden

Semi-finals date with Canada set

ZA6_3156_Channel%20Homepage%20Slider.jpg

 

Finland is playing like it belongs with the North Americans and has distanced itself from the pack in Europe. Tonight's 4-0 win was just another example.

 

Finland overwhelmed Sweden to the tune of 4-0 today to earn another crack at Canada on Thursday. That semi-finals game at 3.30pm will be an elimination game and will give the women's hockey world a better indication of where Suomi stands.

 

Its 4-3 win over Canada and close 5-3 loss to the U.S. within the last few days ago has raised the bar significantly.

 

The Finns limited Sweden to just 16 shots on their own Noora Raty, including just one in the final period, while firing 42 at Sara Grahn. 

 

"Everyone did their job today, and we played well as a team," Sara Sakkinen, one of the goalscorers for Finland, said. "We stuck to our game plan, and we're learning to trust each other and to play with confidence. We've put a lot of hard work into getting to where we are today."

 

Sweden will now play in the 5th/6th placement game earlier in the day on Thursday against the loser of tonight's Russia-Germany tilt.

 

"They have a good team," acknowledged Pernilla Winberg of Sweden. "They played tough from the beginning, and we had a bad first ten minutes. We were supposed to come out hard, but it didn't go our way today."

 

"We were solid for sixty minutes, and now we have so much conifidence getting ready to play Canada," Finland's Susanna Tapani enthused. "We scored the first goal again, and that really helps. We haven't always done that. We feel good in our zone, and now we feel we can play in their zone as well."

 

Finland started like a house of fire and never let up. The first goal came at 4:19 after a Rosa Lindstedt shot went wide of the goal and bounced quickly back to the crease. Sakkinen lifted the loose puck over Grahn for the early lead. 

 

Less than three minutes later, the Finns doubled their lead on a play that also started with a point shot. This time Minttu Tuominen took a low shot that was tipped in by Linda Valimaki standing right at the top of Grahn's crease. 

 

Suomi made it 3-0 just 3:03 into the second on a power play. Jenni Hiirikoski, the best female defenceman in the world, nailed a low slapshot that Grahn couldn't get over to cover. 

 

The Finns were better in every aspect of the game. Their speed off the rush intimidated the Swedes and kept them on their heels, and the Finnish defence was airtight, allowing only shots from the outside and protecting Raty to perfection. As well, the Finns are now a team with some size and physicality, adding another element to their game all over the ice.

 

Finland put an accent on the win with a great goal at 8:53 of the third. Riikka Valila found Tapani all alone in front and made a perfect pass to her. Tapani cradled the puck for a moment, took aim, and drilled a high shot over the glove of Grahn.

 

"Coming in as underdogs, I thought we had a good chance today," Winberg said. "The last couple of years we've been fifth or so, so we were hoping to get past the quarter-finals. Now, we have to aim for fifth again, so that's what we'll do."

Quarterfinal - 4Avs1B

Russia - Germany  1-2

 

Germany does it!

Delarbre's late goal defeats Russia, 2-1

_D4S3055_Channel%20Homepage%20Slider.jpg

 

It's official. Germany is the Cinderella team of the 2017 Women's World Championships. It has defeated Russia, 2-1, and qualifies for Thursday's semi-finals.

 

The hero of the moment is Marie Delarbre who scored midway through the third period to break a 1-1 deadlock.

 

Rebecca Graeve got the puck at the point and made a sensational slap-pass to Delarbre by the side of the goal. She redirected the puck to perfection, beating Nadezhda Alexandrova who was expecting a shot from the point. The goal came at 9:12 and proved to be the winner.

 

"I was standing back door and Rebecca made a great play getting the puck to me," Delarbre said. "I didn't think; I just got my stick on the puck. It was fantastic."

 

The Russians almost tied the game in the final minute with Alexandrova on the bench, but Olga Sosina's shot rang off the post and stayed out.

 

"Sometimes you need to get lucky to win, and my post helped me out there," Harss said with a wide smile.

 

The Germans will play the United States at 7.30pm Thursday night for a place in the gold-medal game. Russia will now face Sweden in the 5th/6th place game.

 

"We seized the opportunity," Delarbre said. "Our coach gave us details to worry about, our game plan, how to think, and that helped us a lot."

 

The result ensures Germany of at least a fourth-place finish, making it the highest placing ever at the WW for a newly-promoted team (Switzerland was fifth in 2005) and the highest finish for Germany in any year (it finished fifth in 2013).

 

The performance is all the more impressive given that last year the team played in Division I and in mid-February of this year the team failed to qualify for the 2018 Olympics. "We were all pretty upset we didn't quailfy," Delarbre admitted, "but that's life. You have to keep your head up and look forward."

 

"We never gave up," Harss enthused. "We kept pushing and we believed in ourselves. We started off well this tournament, and kept going, and we got momentum. We had nothing to lose tonight, but Russia had all the pressure. They had to win."

 

The only time Germany had defeated Russia in six previous meetings was back in 2005.

 

Russia got on the board early, scoring at 2:36 of the opening period off two great plays. First, Alevtina Shtaryova fired a great pass from the left boards to Anna Shokhina in the slot. Shokhina then displayed great hands and patience, deking Harss and tucking the puck in behind her.

 

"I know my team can score goals," Harss said, "so that gives me confidence. After they scored, it felt like no big deal. It was one shot. I knew we could come back."

 

The Russians controlled the period but Germany never seemed overwhelmed or intimidated by the moment. In the second, the Germans came right back to tie the score and really should have had a couple of more goals to boot.

 

Germany had a great chance to tie early in the second when Marie Delarbre fed Nina Kamenik in the slot, but Kamenik bobbled the puck and couldn't get off a good shot.

 

A little while later, Iya Gavrilova had Harss beat but hit the post with her shot along the ice.

 

Russia incurred two early penalties in the middle 20 but killed these off despite some good pressure by the Germans. After killing a penalty of its own, Germany drew three penalties in short order resulting in two lengthy 5-on-3 situations.

 

The Germans didn't take long to capitalize. Julia Zorn fed Kerstin Spielberger with a soft pass that Spielberger ripped to the far side, tying the game at 14:44. But they maintained a 5-on-3 and couldn't do further damage.

 

Teams left the ice tied, 1-1, a score the Germans were happy with, the Russians not so much.

 

And then the improbable happened. Delarbre scored, and Germany is in the semi-finals.

    • 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
