I was surprised that Randal was not paired with Diego Balleza, well Balleza (Universiade Gold Medalist in 2019 and World Champion in Team Event at 2019) is not even in the team, why?

I know. This completely seems like Guevara’s doing Espinosa’s will. 
I mean, how come they couldn’t just let García (Espinosa’s partner) for who hasn’t had a proper partner in years, enter the synchro event just to satisfy his ego.

 

I really hope that FINA can intervene in the selection process to give a fair chance to Balleza and others.

With Todorov as President of the Mexican Aquatics Federation I seriously doubt it though I hope his days are counted and finally goes away 

 

As a mexican I hope the best for Willars/Garcia in order to get the spot but given the wrongdoings and dirty process within the Federation I wont mind if in the end karma strikes even if it's in detriment of our divers

Me neither.

 

I would love to see Todorov and Guevara behind bars.

:MAS is out of contention. Sadly for them, very slim chances now for them to obtain more quotas, even in individuals.

 

On the opposite, great work from the Germans. It will be a very interesting final, as every unqualified time, except :KOR & :SUI, are on quite similar terms.

Mental sterngth will be the decisive factor.

    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event 
    • In bed with the flu and few hours of sleep, but at least the insomnia will let me watch the first World Cup stage
