Yeah but those schedules were just...odd. Having the bronze medal match after the final means really nobody gives a flying fuck anymore (maybe outside some people in the two countries) instead of only a few people :lol: 

 

Weird request as well, I get USA wants the final at their best possible time, but that shouldn't be much of a problem while still having the bronze medal match before it.

It's extremely odd.  But that's the concession they chose to make to have the game on in primetime in North America.  The other option would have been to play the men's bronze medal game the same day as the women's gold medal game, but I guess they didn't like that one as much.

what would happen if yuesey lost by some accident the semifinal (I know not very realistic, but hypothetically), will they rechange the schedule in that case or it is definitive ?

if the USA don't make the Gold Medal match, there's no problem with their TV as they would never show on TV the national shame of playing for a minor placing...:rofl: :lol: :whistle:

it's extremely odd (actually, it's crazy, a shame if you like)...

 

they could and should have scheduled the Bronze Medal match the day before (if they don't really want it at 9 a.m. local time in the same day), considered that the semifinals are set 2 days earlier...

Verys strong. But some better options could be Théo Maledon and Adrien Moerman?

    • There are currently no grounds to consider Ghiotto as a favourite for the 5000. He has never won any important 5000 event while dominating the 10 km at the same time. Roest always won the same pattern, with Ghiotto losing all his advantage in the last 2 laps. We will see what the Italian's form will be like now and how tactically he wants to play it. I would also not forget about Eiter from Norway, who is much younger and has a lot of room for development.
    • Some good news: Matt Gaetz is out from his position as attorney general, basically two months before he'd even start.
    • Maybe small but this is our worst performance at the European Championships since the post-Covid period and that's a fact. Germany and Norway surprised with their form here. However, only in Italy are things like this possible, such as changing the head coach of the team with less than two years to go before the home games...
    • In my opinion we can lose to Argentina, if it's 0-1 in a moment. This Davis Cup format is a lottery, especially with the shortened doubles. It's no coincidence that all the favorites can/will can be eliminated in the quarter-finals. The second thing is that Argentina has a very solid team: 2 players in the top 30 + a strong doubles. If you sure to will win with them, you would have to have 2 Sinners in great shape.
    • Both Edin and Retornaz at 6-3 just like rank 2 and 3. Just very small margins on h2h and DSC
    • Godun has been training in Italy and Hungary for over 2 years. It's strange that she didn't take a Hungarian passport. Our predecures are so long that it probably wouldn't make sense.
    • Our worst European Men's Championship in this cycle: no promotion to the 1/2. Retronaz has been in poor form since the beginning of the season. The change of the head coach in the Italian team last spring may have had an impact. Unfortunately, the closer to the games, the worse it gets for us and it should be better because we are the organizers.
    • Sport climbing qualification system: https://images.ifsc-climbing.org/ifsc/image/private/t_q_good/prd/a0ga7v4gwmamb3gxouni.pdf
    • Daniel Huber picked up a kee injury during training at Lillehammer.   Piotr Żyła will skip the season opener because of a knee injury too.
    • Agree with you on this. The only missed category was Long Track Speed Skating where Cornelius Kersten and Ellia Smeding have done a good job getting us involved in this event again after many years absence. He won a Bronze medal at 2023 worlds but both are realistically fringe contenders and main goal is to grow the sport here.   As for our general chances by British standards we tend to do well at the various world championships before a Winter Olympics to raise hopes and then several dont quite deliver when its time. Would prefer the reverse to happen where we save our best for 2026 and help boost our Winter sports growth.
