:ITA secured +1 in women's competition. Before the last day :AZE:GRE:NOR:IRL:DEN:ALB:ISL:CRO:LAT:MDA:BEL:LTU:NED:EST:GEO all failed to qualify.

 

Battle for remaining 5 quotas:

 

:GBR can get 7 extra points

:POL can get 9 extra points

:GER can get 9 extra points

:FIN can get 10 extra points

:FRA can get 28 extra points

:HUN can get 24 extra points

:SWE can get 38 extra points

:CZE can get 34 extra points

:ISR can get 42 extra points

 

that all can interrupt the top6 (with most optimistic counting)

 

And here is the fictional top 10 standings if the last ladies event would end up according to the entry list weights:

 

:POL 98 points

:ITA 98 points

:GBR 98 points

:FRA 93 points

:GER 87 points

:ESP 85 points

----

:FIN 78 points

:SWE 75 points

:AZE 74 points (no chance)

:HUN 73 points

Silver for Stanulis :clap: Sadly he won't even compete in Olympics. Even if Lithuania wins quota in Euros it will go to Didžbalis (famously disqualified for doping before London 2012) who is not even bothered to compete in E CH.

Because our federation decided to send A.Didžbalis and no one else can even try to replace him. Pretty much why our federation send only 5 guys to Euro Champs so there won't be possible for team quota and Didžbalis would qualify through rankings with "less drama".

Talking about corruption and prefential treatment, I thought that things don't happen in Europe... so unfair for every other Lithuanian weightlifter

I know, it's sad. This situation was happening for almost 20 years now in Lithuanian weightlifting, which pretty much stopped the progress of this sport in country. Plus those specially selected ones by federations always end up in doping scandals... Yet we still get to see some talents shining in some of the competitions while others chose powerlifting or kettlebell-lifting.. :(

    • Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.
    • Ya but the replacement is Pat Bondi, a choice that is only better in so far as Pat Bondi isn't credibly accused of having had sex with multiple underaged girls.   Also, you might recognize this name: Pete Hoekstra has been nominated to be the US ambasador to Canada.
    • Camila Giorgi has a new BF Ramiro Marra. Apparently he's some politician/journalist from Argentina. One of Milei's supporters dare I say? @LDOG@konig            
    • Skeleton Tour moves on to Yanqing  this weekend.  Asian Cup races tomorrow, then the World Cup on Saturday, and then possibly more Asian Cup next weekend before everyone moves over to Altenberg for the start of the full Skeleton / Bobsleigh tour again. 
    • 2-1.   But it's good to have a great champion in the squad. I've been waiting for this my whole life. I wish we had such stars in every sport.
    • But he beat Mouat, who seems to be almost unbeatable 
    • Argentina has a really solid lineup, especially if they have prepared seriously for this event. Of course they don't have a champion like we do, but in this format it is enough to win 1 match to play the decisive doubles.
    • Today we must to beat Argentina. It looks like Sinner will have to win all the singles and doubles for us to defend the title. So far, the 2nd and 3rd favorites before the tournament have already been eliminated: Esp and USA.
