Not a good day for us, but this event once again indicated for me that Michelle Gulyás is the "future of women's pentathlon" for Hungary. Great swimming and laser run for her, if she has a good day in fencing and riding (which she didn't this time), she can already be very competitive among the seniors.

In women's, :MEX Mayan Oliver finished 19th which gives her an edge over :MEX Tamara Vega for that second quota that can be achieved trough ranking (both are right now in qualifying positions)

 

Our men however will need a miracle to qualify; our best ranked Duilio Carrillo only finished 25th and will need at least top 15 places in both World Cup stages in Bulgaria and the WC final to be in Tokyo.

I had a lot of interest in the past, but every season it is getting worse, bad coverage, and with that paying terms they hit rock bottom.

 

First you have to gain popularity, then you can play with money.

 

 

I wrote it many times. Modern Pentathlon was Modern Pentathlon when it lasted 5 days, when the Fencing part took almost the whole entire day (The longest sport event of the program, in 1988 the fencing part started early morning and finished before midnight).

 

Now, it is a lost case for me, it already was when they put it all in 1 day, then with inventing the combined event I stopped to follow it completely.

Agree... this new proposed format is pure bullshit.

 

I think that they should return to the 5 events being held on their own but on the same day.

It was really tight finish 

Almost like Kremlin Cup 2013 with always poor runner Marques and always tremendous runner Asadauskaite... well, that battle was with about 70 sec handicap and finished even closer. And yesterday's run was a classic Švecovs - dying on the last lap. I saw that pain-face a few times in Drzonków. Still, doing that on World Cup instead of Polish National Ranking Competition is a big thing for him.

he reminds me of Amro el Gezeiry , but at least he's got really good shooting Amro was bad in both shooting and running :d

    • This season? It's a pity that we couldn't try fight for him, especially considering our problems in the sprints. 
    • Lara Malsinier and Alex Insam are junior World Championship medalists from a few years ago. Maybe it was possible to provide them with private teams then and now they could even fight for a single podium from time to time? I mean especially women because there, for example: Canada or France can be in the top, so why not us? Now Rodlauer from Austria has joined the Italian team but for now there is a huge gap to the top and only Sieff and Lara Malsinier are jumping well. There was success in the Summer Grand Prix but with a weak competition. Even 3rd place in a single competition in winter is worth more than winning the LGP with a terrible squad.   It remains to wait but I fear that the most we can count on is a dramatic fight with France and maybe Finland in the mixed competition at the World Championships. Bresadola probably won't return this season, so only the inconsistent Insam remains. 
    • When did Kim Min-Seok switch to Hungary?
    • Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA    Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball
    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
