So 4 medals for us, (0-2-2) Paulína Fialková - silver sprint, bronze pursuit, Tomáš Hasilla - Bronze sprint, mixed relay (Paulína Fialková/Ivona Fialková/Hasilla/Kazár) silver.

 

no gold this time, Otčenáš failed to become the first ever biathlete to win 3 pursuit summer world championships consecutive titles. Paulína clearly leading our team here with the fastest times but still hardly struggling with shooting,

 

at least she is really improving season by season and after the expected retirement of Kuzmina after PC 2018 she will have to take over the reins of our biathlon, hopefully she will be able to stand the pressure

 

For now before the upcomming winter there still A lot of work to do in shooting...a lot

Pidhrushna interrupted her trainings with the team in France because her asthma came back. She went to Czech hospital again and then to Ukraine. She can join our team in December/January or end her career.

 

EDIT: and Pidhrushna has just posted that everything is ok and she'll be back soon. woohoo :hug:

  • 3 weeks later...

Three former Russian biathletes have been involved in a serious car crash. Sleptsova and Vilukhina seem to have gotten away alright, Olga Medvedtseva/Pyleva/Zamorozova (double Olympic gold, 6 times world champion) is in the hospital with some sort of 'average degree of severity brain injury'. Apparently a bolt came loose from an opposing car, flying through the windshield and hitting her in the head, resulting in the car crashing.

    • Surely they will unless I am missing something. 
    • So, will they appeal to CAS like in Sinner case?
    • https://www.skysports.com/tennis/news/12110/13262332/iga-swiatek-five-time-grand-slam-champion-accepts-one-month-suspension-in-doping-case Cwnt see WADA not overturning this. One month for a banned substance is very low even for accidental consumption. I’ve only ever heard that short for something banned only in Competition and therefore not seen as fully doping. . 
    • big big news regarding Olympic bronze medalist and two time World Champion  Zurabi Datunashvili   https://ita.sport/news/the-ita-acknowledges-cas-add-decision-sanctioning-wrestler-zurabi-datunashvili-for-anti-doping-rule-violations/   to be honest everything was suspicious about this guy, his sudden improvement since 2021, his body, his sudden retirement in 2023 . its great to see him finally getting caught.   they will reallocate the medals later after the end of the process but his Olympic bronze will go to  Ivan Huklek, I think that will be the first ever wrestling medal for Croatia   his 2021 World title will go  Maskevich and the 2022 gold goes to  Bisultanov Bisultanov will benefit more than anybody else, he also gets a bronze from 2021 and  Kessidis will get a bronze from 2022.

    • I am going to use this as evidence for my belief that the only way for baseball to continue growing is to increase the importance of International tournaments.   Because shocassing stars in those environments is how the MLB can grow their viewership abroad.
    • If this were Milan from 20 years ago, it would be a success but currently it`s just a European average team and on top of that it is not in top form. Milan's defense this season resembles Swiss cheese.
    • Bologna is unfortunately is a team for the Conference League, not the Champions League   Juventus are plagued by injuries and are struggling. On top of that they have a terrible schedule in the CL. In their case qualifying for the play-offs would be a success in this season but I'm not sure how many points they will need to do that. Actually they chave 8 points.
    • Four events with medals awarded halfway into the first day, and already six NOCs are on the medal table
