I'm always amazed how completely mental some of the biggest athletes become.

 

Some grind and struggle 4-5 additional years just to compete at one more OG, while others just drop everything a few months before the Olympics, while still even on top.

I am expecting a lot of MP athletes will retire after introducing the Obstacles ..not all athletes can adapt with the new sport.

Story about that here, by coincidence.  Most of Team GB including Joe Choong are knuckling down.

Looking at Team GB opportunities after adding Obstacles I would say it's very rarely to find Jo, Myles, Charles, Kerenza or Olivia compete in a very high level. I like Jo's personality, I met him once before COVID in Bath University and his enthusiasm for winning was very obvious (he made the Gold later in Tokyo).

 

maybe we have a girl in U 19 who finished 4th in the last U19 WCh (Zoe Spokes). But no shining names in men event.

 

on the other hand, my other Country :EGY are very focused (since 2021) to introduce obstacles to their team members, I am in doubt if El-Gendy can be the top athlete but we have 4-5 athletes in both men and women who can easily be on the podium in LA 2028 including El-Gendy junior.

    • Add 1 strong pair from Russia and Cizeron, who will return with a new partner and this medal isn`t so certain. They will definitely have to refer to their life form from 2023, and so far, they have been recording worse results every year.

    • First, they lost the medal in the short dance, where their performance were also the worst in the season,   Second, since they had a good free dance, with which they won silver and bronze at the World Championships in previous years (with the result from 2023 it would be another silver today), why experiment and invent something new? You don't change what works well - better is the enemy of good,   The facts are that the Italian pair achieved a worse result at the World Championships than at the European Championships and generally had a weak season, and assuming the return of strong Russians, to win a medal they will need to score around 216-217 points, or maybe more.
    • LIIGA Playoffs   1st Round Results (Best-of-5 Series)   SaiPa Lappeenranta (5) b. TPS Turku (12)  3-2 (1-2; 2-6; 3-0; 2-1; 3-2 OT)   Sport Vaasa (11) b.

    • That dance crap, which is a sport of robbery, this year confirmed that it is a mafia. The Italians have dared so much by presenting a programme very different from the classical standards (and I don't like it) and the judges are harshly and rightly beating them up. Fabbri and Guignard have already announced that they will return to classic programmes next year (and magically they will be back on the podium). A discipline decided at the table.     Do you want bet something?
