The one thing that deeply irritates me is that it will all depend on one match. Why can't they just have another round-robin with the Top4 teams? That would be by far the best way to decide the last two spots. 

 

I agree, but you could run into a scenario where in the last match one team is qualified and thus doesn't play as hard.

NED for sure, ITA at home will somehow benefit from this as they usually do...

 

but if you ask me who I want to qualify, then there no other option than HUN.

 

I mean there no other bigger much unlucky athlete or country at the Olympic Games in this entire world than the :HUN womens water polo team.

 

For god sake let them win that Bronze ! :lol: I mean yeah Beijing 2008 happened, well hard luck, but it happens in sport, however London 2012 was already the peak of frustration and irony of the destiny...but then came Rio and oh dear that last second Russian equalizer was like a slap to any sport justice, followed by the neverending penalty shootout as the last nail in the coffin :lol:

So maybe this time we qualify but there will be no Olympics? :wall:

Ed. This is how the unlucky streak can continue, haha

Anyone getting FINA tv to watch this?

no real need for that...raisport is covering all the games of Italy, HUN vs GRE, 2 quarterfinals and at least 1 semifinal match (but there's a chance they show also  the 1st semi on another channel like Rai2, if Italy play at 6 p.m. on Saturday)...:cheer:

    • Congrats Diggins, well deserved! 👏   Too bad she fell on the last lap in the last race (as well as Karlsson also did x2).   For the future I would really like them to remove the bonus sprint points suring the race that almost makes more importance to the overall standings than the positions over the finish line. And get back to the same point system as the other FIS events. 30 gets points instead on 50, and 100-80-60... instead of this system. in this case Diggins deserves it and Sweden who of different reasons have missed pets of the season On purpose or not, does not deserve it. But it as it is now it may take 20 wins to catch up for one missed race (if the opponent is 2nd in each). Dahlqvist won the sprint cup without any individual wins (3rd overall) is one example of that.    There must be room to miss a race of any reason. If not, it Will not make people race more events, instead it might make skoters who already missed one weekend feel they are already too far behind so they light as well take less priority on the rest of the World cup season. Also skiiers who in Norway for example would be good enough for a top3 in the overall might not even be selected for many races due to the internal competition. Same for a skiier like Ebba Andersson who most likely would not qualify if she would be selected to go a sprint race. But she would still get a few points probably for rk 31-50, but because she would not make it in to the Swedish sprint team she Will lose a lot even compared to those who fail the sprint qualifications. Frida Karlsson another example, she would also probably have qualified most of the times but is most often not good enough to make the team. With more award to winning and making podiums and also less athletes scoring that would make it better I think. The scoring system in biathlon got some critics when they decided you have to count all races, but they at least increased the value of top positions meaning you could faster catch up a bad race/missed race, by a few podiums.
    • Great to see O’Connor on the podium again! Thats 4 major medals in the past 12 months (World Indoors x 2, Euro Indoors and World Championships).   Her strongest event is the javelin so she is going to continue to be a huge threat in the heptathlon this summer and she is still improving all the other events. Exciting times for her  
    • Congrats to Diggins winning the WC in her final season 
    • Call me mad, but it feels very strange to have made it all the way through a major championships without hearing how the results were going to lead to a slashing of funding for  sport.  
    • Only Fabbri from Italy has disappointed and that's a bit concerning... In 3 of the last 4 major events (OG and 2x Indoor World Champ), he's performed significantly worse than he did on the entire season – he took bronze at the 2025 World Championships, but his result was also nothing special. His performance today is completely incomprehensible  (
