Well, no offense,  but i think it's wrong to cheat like losing on purpose and destroys the competition... I know many countries and   teams are doing this, but stil... and if you would only cheat  in order to avoid  hard opponents and play versus the weaker ones, then even if you'd qualify even to the final somehow, you wouldn't deserve it.

 

Well, no offense, but i dont care what you think about it. We should try everything to have the easiest possible opponent in the next round without breaking any rules and by winning against Hungary why basically decided to play against the strongest possible opponent in the next round, which is just stupid and not "fair play". I think you can only call it cheating if rules are broken and by losing on purpose you dont break any rules, so its not cheating. Would it also have been cheating if we wouldve lost against Hungary by giving all our best players a break and playing with our weaker players instead? Many teams in all team sports do that an no one really complains about it, although its basically the same. You last sentence doesnt make any sense to me. Why wouldnt we deserve to reach the final if we beat a team like Czech Republic in the quarterfinal and then a team like Finland/Canada/Russia in the semifinal? We still wouldve beaten 2 of the 4 best teams, so we clearly wouldve deserved to reach the final even if we wouldve lost against Hungary today. In the end the only thing that matters is whether we hurt some other team by losing against Hungary or not. Only Belarus couldve complained, because Hungary wouldve been behind France and Slovakia even with a win against us today. Belarus lost against Hungary so you have to ask yourself whether they really deserved to be ahead of Hungary or not. In addition to that they still will be behind Hungary in the end if they dont win against France tomorrow, so unless they win against France tomorrow, the result of our match today wouldve had no impact on the table any way. I think we should first care about what is best for us and then we should try to not have a negative impact on other teams with our results, but if we can improve our situation by losing on purpose then we should always do it, without giving a s**t about what other people think.

 

We for example expected Turkey to beat Netherlands at the european qualification event in womens volleyball this year and then Turkey lost on purpose and we therefore missed Rio, i have enough of it that we always are the nice guys while everyone else just cares about their own interests. Its the same in sport and politics, we dont have to be friends with other nations, we should only care about our own interests.

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

Today was the last match of Kazakhstan at this years world champs. the "elevator" team return back to division I A once again. Kazakhstan is also the only team which have not listen their national anthem at this years championships, as the team didn´t win any match. :(

Kazakhstan beated Switzerland in the first round, so we could hear all national anthems. :)

and as expected game over for us. another fiasco, cmon it´s the 3rd time in a row we will not play the quarter finals. It´s a real disaster for us.  :( now I expect something to change in our federation, because this is a huge failure and caused mainly because of the leaders of our federation and their bad, very bad relations with our top players. things must change because we can not play such tournaments with a "B" or even a "C" team like this year.

 

I accept the fact that we have to rejuvenate the team, but we need to use at least one line of our top NHL players.unfortunately anyone of them will never play in our team untill the president of the federation will resign...

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
