Acho que o que dá pra destacar mais nesse fim de semana é o título do Felipe Wu no tiro esportivo. Tão deixando arrente sonhá, hein.

Gideoni Monteiro também, apesar de ter ficado atrás no Omnium do Mundial. E as instalações do Rugby 7s sendo testadas em Deodoro, ainda sem as arquibancadas.

E eu não posso deixar de falar da trave maravilhosa da Flavinha em Baku, garantindo a nota de 15.150, o que daria o vice-campeonato mundial pra ela em 2015 (e o título mundial em 2014).

Comentei com o Felipe ontem, inclusive, que esse ouro do Wu na Copa do Mundo levou ele a outro patamar. O cara é muito novo, ainda mais para o tiro esportivo. E o esporte também é bem imprevisível, vai muito do dia.

Ou seja:

Ana Cláudia Lemos pega no antidoping, não divulgaram ainda a substância, será que é mais uma que rodou por usar meldonium? Se for grave, fudeu de vez a pouca esperança que tínhamos com o 4x100m feminino chegar longe na Olimpíada.

Nice thing about the Brazilian Paralympic cross-country skiers:

(They don't mention it, but for example Bruna Moura was there to train a blind Chilean girl, which was pretty cool :) )

Acho improvável que seja o meldonium, no atletismo brasileiro costuma ser mais furosemida e EPO. O Demétrio escreveu sobre uma relação interessante: link

 

No mais, parece uma pá de cal mesmo nessa geração que tinha tudo para fazer história, mas que teve mais marra e brigas internas do que resultados...

  • 2 weeks later...

For the Brazilian's over here, I've written a season review and next season preview for the biathletes (Bruna and Gabi mostly), so if you're interested, here it is :) (it turned out to be quite a long story, so I've placed it in a spoiler)

 

Spoiler

Time to look back at the season of the Brazilians and look forward at the off-season and the 2016/17 season :) 

 

Idre and a tough start
After a summer of preparation, including some good results (and a win) in Ushuaia, Argentina, the season really got underway with the IBU Cup in Idre. Both for Bruna Moura and Gabi Neres it turned out to be quite hard: heavy snowfall meant they had to compete in conditions which were completely new for them and were very unfavourable for people who aren't yet among the fastest skiers in the field. For Caio Moreira, Leandro Lutz and the two girls this resulted in the slowest skiing speeds of the fields and the two last places in both sprints.

 

Ridnaun...history!
Then came IBU Cup 2, Ridnaun. The program had a mixed relay in it and this meant Brazil fielded a relay team for the first time ever in biathlon history (and the 2nd South American team ever, after Argentina in Forni Avoltri 2007). Bruna started off with using two spare rounds in both shooting bouts and although the exchange happened in last place, handing over to best friend Gabi was, I quote, "an unforgettable moment". Gabi managed to perform very well and only needed one spare round, before handing over to Caio. His 0+1 and 0+2 was one of his best shooting results so far and it was Lutz who got the chance to reach one shooting bout before the race finished.

 

Fabrizio Bourguignon joined them for the sprint in Ridnaun and the veteran missed one shot to finish 135th out of 136 competitors. Caio's six misses brought him 131st place, 1.4 seconds ahead of Lutz' 5 misses. As for the women: Mirlene Picin stepped in and, having less tired legs because of her not doing the relay, was half a minute faster on the ski's than Bruna. The participation in Ridnaun of Henar Extebarria (Spain), Claudia Salcedo (Chile), Maria Dominguez (Argentina), Angela Banduri (Georgia) and Sara Lucic (Serbia) gave the Brazilians a good chance to finish ahead of some athletes and that worked out well. Picin finished 90th, Bruna 91st and Gabi 95th in a field of 100...progress!

 

Obertilliach...more history!
Next up was Obertilliach and, on a side note, my first taste of biathlon in real instead of on TV (see my report on the trip earlier in this thread). Despite a burning throat and a face that told "This pain is killing me", Bruna managed to shoot well (2+1+0+2) and finished in 87th of 91, one place ahead of Gabi. Day 2 arrived, the sprint, and boy, did Bruna perform! A magical clean shooting, only the 3rd time in history a Brazilian did so, and 88th place out of 100. The 244,46 IBU points were the best result by far and were welcomed with a hearty celebration. Gabi finished 98th because of four shooting errors, but her skiing speed showed a promising upwards trend. 

 

Junior Worlds
After Obertilliach the biathlon season for Bruna was over, but Gabi and Caio still had the junior worlds in Cheile Gradistei to compete. Caio didn't have the best week of his life in terms of performance and had the slowest skiing speed in both the individual and sprint, resulting in 102nd and 101st places respectively (out of 102). Gabi finished in last place in the individual with nine misses, but on the plus side, she did beat two girls in skiing speed. Four misses in the sprint and not the best skiing result meant last place instead of qualifying for the pursuit, but she'll definitely be back next year, one year stronger. 

 

End of season
Meanwhile over in Austria, Bruna competed in some cross-country races. The highlight of this was the Austrian championships in Saalfelden in which Teresa Stadtlober (two times top-10 in the Tour de Ski) competed as well. Looking at relative results, Bruna was closer to Stadtlober than she was compared to the top IBU Cup skiers, meaning her skiing speed kept on improving! The whole team was united after Cheile Gradistei and competed some cross-country races in Switzerland as well...although the very last race could not be reached: there was literally too much snow to go from their hotel to the track, ending their season as the next day would see the travel back home.

 

Comments
I haven't gotten word from Gabi yet (I'll try to get some comments soon), but Bruna looked back at the season with the following: "I believe I had a good season and I'm happy with my results, but I believe I can do it even better next season. If there's one thing I want to keep doing the same way, it is to be focussed on my shooting trainings. I want to shoot at least 80% next season, but apart from that I also want to shoot a bit faster. Also I'm happy with my skiing speed in the biathlon competitions. Maybe I wasn't the fastest, but I could feel improvement and that's what is important for me, because I know I can improve season after season. Compared with last (pre)-season, I know I need to change some things in my training plans, but I have already talked about it with my federation (CBDN) and I'm expecting they will change that for me. I believe if my training changes in the right way, I can improve a lot compared to the two seasons I have had so far." 

 

Off-season and looking forward to 2016/2017
As an example of why Bruna (and myself) believes she can improve a lot next season: gym trainings normally only happened in the relatively short times in Sweden, but starting this month, she will actually train at the gym in her hometown in Brazil almost daily, effectively doubling her training input compared to last (pre)-season. Depending on how some laws, licenses and documents work out, she could also very well receive her very own laser rifle soon. Obviously this isn't the perfect shooting training, but I think we can all agree that it's a huge improvement compared to absolutely no kind of shooting training at all (like previously when not in Europe).

 

Bruna's goals for the now finished season, set by CBDN (the federation), were to shoot 65% over the course of the IBU-season and get a result below 280 IBU points. She destroyed those goals, by shooting 78% during IBU Cups 1, 2 and 3, a percentage only Jaqueline Mourão could beat in her best days, but never for a full season. She got 244 IBU points in her best race, also way better than the goal. Next season I firmly believe she can reach the first "magical" line of 200 points, which would mean that she qualifies for the next trimester in the IBU Cup. 

 

Talking about next season: during the summer they will have a big training camp in Argentina (Ushuaia), after which the calendar shows a trip to Chile, where the national championships will be held in Portillo (and maybe the South American championships, although they won't have a lot of competition there from Argentinians and Chileans). We won't see the Brazilians in the first IBU Cup trimester. Beitostoelen - Ridnaun - Obertilliach would be too expensive of a combination (it's a shame the season doesn't open in Idre again) so instead, they will be in an IBU development camp in November and December, the location of which isn't known yet. 

 

Their IBU Cup season then starts in January with the competitions in Martell and Arber. Participating in the 3rd trimester depends on getting 200 IBU points or less in Martell or Arber, or, if they compete, at the Open European Championships in Poland in the end of January. There is a small possibility Bruna and Gabi will compete at the Universiade in Kazakhstan, which isn't sure yet, but would be awesome! 

 

All in all, next season is going to be an extremely important one in terms of possible Olympic qualifying or at least getting close to that kind of level. I have a lot of faith in seeing big improvements for the team and I very strongly believe they can break the 200 point-barrier and qualify for a 3rd trimester of IBU Cups, which would give them invaluable experience (and a fun trip to the Kontiolahti Wall!).

    • We don’t even have a broadcaster or streaming platform for the games ! IOC couldn’t get any deal for the Indian viewers and we can’t watch this games live ! 
    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
