Sadly Konrad Bukowiecki and Ewa Swoboda will not take part in starting tomorrow IEC, Bukowiecki due to foot injury which he gets yesterday and defending champion Swoboda due to positive covid-19 test, and yet two days ago her test was negative... :facepalm:

 

Malwina Kopron said Swoboda got infected in Spala from one of the training athletes that don't take part in indoor sports.

 

Second positive test for Swoboda. She's out 100%.

 

Meanwhile Malgorzata Holub is pulled from the 400m individual races and won't be replaced by anyone leaving Swiety-Ersetic as the lone entry. Then what's the point of having SIX 400m runners if there only will be a relay final contested :crazy:

Well, there is no "long throw" events :p and Blanka just retired few days ago :( 

Obviously no medals are expected in Torun, but the fact that those medals did nothing to improve the overall rate of championships participation says it all. :dunno:

Maybe that infected athlete was Kopron itself :p

 

Do you know reason why Hołub will not race in individual? Focusing on relay isn't enough good argument and yet Lesiewicz had a standard that could start on 400m individual...

Apparently no injury, just all-in on the 4x400 relay. However it would make sense to at least put Lesiewicz in the individual. Due to her lack of experience I think she won't make the relay despite finishing 2nd at the Polish indoors.

Never heard of any of them ...

GB obviously sending their reserves, which is smart. Compared to the Olympics, this event is irrelevant.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

    • 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.
    • What good is it to us if we took 4th place and lost an important match? If Constantini was sick, I forgive her, but I'm afraid that the Italian team will not exceed a certain level. Yes, they have made progress since 2022, but they lack that one decisive step to become a class team. Here we lost all important matches with teams at our/higher level: Sui x2, Sco x2, Swe. We only won with the one we were supposed to win with. I don't believe in a medal for this team in Cortina. After 2022, it seemed that Constantini could dominate women's curling, but it didn't happen that way. After Sinner's recent successes, I opened my eyes a bit and started to demand more from our athletes, coaches, and officials. I have no intention of being satisfied with 4th place, because with this approach, you won't achieve anything great.
    • play their best, but only get 1, so  get bronze 6-4!  
    • Oh dear, once again a 50% shot from Constantini when she needed 100%.   blank the end & go into the 10th with the Hammer of Thor.  
    • Very quick end &  get 2 back to 6=3, but  have the hammer in ninth....
