Our girl in single scull made a junior record time in the semis but today lost the gold by less than a second :( 

 

Anyway, all good results are more than welcome in this sport which is dying here.

Entries for the European rowing championships have been published here

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

4 Irish boats in the A Final at the World Cup in Rotterdam.

3 of those are in Olympic events and we also have 2 boats in B Finals. And with Sanita Puspure absent. Very pleasing results.

The new Irish lightweight double combination of Paul O’Donovan and Fintan McCarthy starting their new partnership with an A Final.

the Rowing Junior World Championships are underway in Tokyo, in the same bassin that's scheduled to host next year's Olympic regatta...

 

all infos and results are available, as usual, on worldrowing's official website, along with the full videos (live and on-demand) of the racing sessions...

 

 

well, I just gave a look to today's races to see how the environment looks like (yeah, I'm always a curious man :lol:)...

 

 

why did I do that? :facepalm::wall:

 

now I'm literally shocked! :yikes:

 

this is the worst rowing/canoeing bassin I've ever seen...:yikes::nopompom::facepalm:

 

basically, it's an artificial channel within the Tokyo docks! :yikes::yikes::yikes:

 

races start under a bridge of the highway going to those docks...

 

the first 900 meters of racing have a backdrop made only by a street with trucks going back and forth and piled containers, piled containers and piled containers again (and at about 650/700 meters from the start there's a passage below another highway bridge)...

 

the last 1000 meters' backdrop is a 10m high grey wall, behind which you can see the same street as before with trucks going back and forth and a small (ugly) hill with a few bushes...

 

even the stands are only placed on one side of the channel, the same of the cameras, so you won't even see the audience enjoying the races...

 

if I think of places like Bled, Lucern...even Milan's Idroscalo...I feel so bad...:cry::nopompom:

 

I just can't believe that the Japanese couldn't find a better place to host their Olympic Rowing/Canoeing events...:facepalm::redcard::spank:

    • Heartbreak for  in the curling, but a gold for Bree Walker in the monobob!
    • I have scheduled the voting order draw for later today. I will be using a random generator to auto-generate the results. If anyone is interested, I have posted a posted a ticket of the scheduled draw. There is no result available yet but will appear once the draw has passed the scheduled time.   https://www.randomresult.com/ticket.php?t=4047191GXV9CAS4M2

    • Another day, another podium for Vonn  and Odermatt  !  (I had zero expectations for Vonn, but she's definitely proven herself!)  
    • Stage 11 in Val d´Isere (FRA)   Women´s Downhill:   1. Cornelia Huetter    1:41.54 2. Kira Weidle-Winkelmann    1:41.80 3. Lindsey Vonn    1:41.89   Full Final Results HERE
    • Record crowds for this weekend, according to the British Comms so well done  les bouffe-grenouilles!   Jeanmonnot has ice water in her veins, not giving anything away.   Minkinnen up to second!   That' s the win for , second for & a four-way fight for third!   Wierer takes it!   Top  only 12th, dear oh dear.
    • Suspect strongly that the Sultan of  is behind Global Wushu!     Another one is long distance & ultra triathlon.  There are literally millions being paid out in prize money to attract big name athletes from several sports, huge FTA TV coverage but seemingly no prospect of any profit.   And the classic is obstacle racing, which has effectively bought up the ownership of Modern Pentathlon.
    • apparently the Japanese organizers rejected OCA's nice request    now OCA is ordering them to do so in a not-so-nice language https://oca.asia/media/attachments/memberships_subcommittee/5/Decision_-_103rd_OCA_EB_Meeting_5ypY8y4.pdf   the last line is very interesting   I knew this for a while, for example that's why Jujjtsu is included in all of OCA events (despite being the worst sport to watch) but good to see OCA admit this. so with the corrupt OCA you can buy your way in. how much they paid the OCA officials for this ?   OK I know Qatar is financially supporting Padel (and UAE is paying everything for Jujitsu) but who is behind Teqball?  ! I don't think Thailand can do that. 
    • Important information on team Aerials.   There is no AIN`s team at the start list of the world cup despite of the fact that belorussians have enough athletes to have a team.   https://medias4.fis-ski.com/pdf/2026/FS/8119/2026FS8119SLF1.pdf
