I tried a bit to find something about Eko Yuli Irawan, what I found is that he is not injured or anything else. he apparently has some problems with their weightlifting federation and is training alone, he didn't participate here because he thinks he is already qualified for Tokyo 2020 ! :yikes: he needs to participate here or in Colombia to qualify , he doesn't need to lift anything .

 

if he didn't register already for that event in Colombia I believe he lost his chance to qualify. and that will be extremely dumb of him to not qualify this way ! the big question is will he go to Colombia or not.

 

@Griff88 do you know anything more about this ?

Seems Deng Wei did what you said. She showed up training and weight in but no lift. So what she did is just to keep qualification, am I right? @MHSN

yes that was enough to complete what she had to do to qualify for the Olympics. the rest is up to the Chinese coaches :d

Was she really injured? 

She's really injured for a long time and we don't know how's her recovery situation. She's a veteran lifter and had no secretes for rivals. Hope she good luck in coming 3 months.

As of now the problem is settled and he is allowed to train with his personal coach (with his own funds). Yes the problem is his participation, I also think that he needs to at least participate here to seal his place in the Olympics - but it was too late to register at the AWC due to the feud. The bad thing is that the media and the Indonesia OC thought he was already qualified.....

 

I am planning to contact the national team coach, hopefully he will answer...

we usually have this problem with the media and the officials here, they usually don't know the rules. I had to warn them so many times before . but I thought that's only an Iranian thing :d it turned out to be a worldwide problem.

 

he is probably the only who can challenge China and at worst he can win a silver , this is really stupid to throw away a medal like that. but I'm afraid it's already too late to register for the event in Colombia (unless they already registered)

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
