Vishy looses badly today and with this the chances of the Re-match....Unless something happens bad for Caruna Fabiano.... if vishy looses the candidate tournament I feel it would be end of the beautiful career....Since he would have no more goals to achieve...

Karjakin won his game. Caruana on course for a draw.

 

Tomorrow is a rest day and Anand needs to make the most of it if he wants to have that shot at the world championship again. The odds are stacked very much against him... :(

Tomorrow we have 3 boxers in action.

 

1. Manoj Kumar in 64kg faces the Kazakh boxer

2. Sunit Sangwan in 81kg faces the Korean boxer

3. Pooja Rani in the 75kg faces the Tajikistani boxer

 

A win and the top seeded boxers in their respective categories await them in the next round :facepalm:

6th seed Bopanna/Mergea knocked OUT in 1st round by Cuevas/Granollers 6-2, 4-6, 4-10 in Miami Open ATP 1000 Masters...

Our tennis stars are losing steam as the Olympics inch closer :(

 

Our only genuine hope seems to be the mixed doubles and Paes and Sania (provided the AITA chooses them) should play together at the French Open and Wimbledon to get some good match practice. Paes and Bopanna should also start playing together on the circuit if at all they want themselves to have a chance at the Olympics. Strong egos cannot go with a great desire to medal for the country. These guys are being absolutely paradoxical.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
