Sathwik / Chirag win by 21-11, 25-23 and enter the final

They have defeated three top ten players including world number 2 ...... Great effort .... I hope they can maintain this for the next few tournaments and be seeded in the top 8 for tokyo ..... Then they can be a genuine medal contender

Absolutely, I think Satwik quickly needs to decide whether he wants to continue Mixed Doubles, with his injury history a wise decision maybe to purely focus on men's doubles, specially before the Olympics.

Watched the men's doubles semis highlights and am really impressed with Satwik-Chirag duo. Their telepathic movement in the court, lightening fast reflexes especially of Satwik, ability to return in odd body posture which all the requirements in the doubles game. They look mighty fit and tall which helps in delivering killer smashes

If they get a decent draw in the Olympics they could be a real medal contender. 

Personally I would like Satwik to concentrate on men's doubles only as Pranaav-Sikki duo is decent enough to qualify

Would agree I think ashwini - satwik would need to play in multiple tournaments to even qualify...... While the focus should be to qualify in the top 8 in men doubles and ensure seeding in Olympics

Unlike singles where 16 players are seeded, in doubles in last 2 Olympics only 4 are seeded, and then redraw for knockouts after match-fixing fiasco in 2012. Not aware this time how many pairs will be given seeds and hence I mentioned they need a decent draw

Pranav -Sikki can't qualify. Only reasonable chance in mixed is ashwini -Satwik

Assuming if either pair does qualify what is their realistic targets and can they reach the quarters. I am not aware if either pair has beaten any top 10 pairs consistently so far. Also the qualification is fairly 'easy' as doubles rankings is dominated by few nations - China, Malaysia, South Korea, Indonesia and Denmark and they just need to be within top 14th rank of qualification rankings which is about 22-25th World rankings which they are anyway.

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
