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.

    • Selina Grotian is the 6th youngest World Cup winner among women (20yo 8 months).   Elin Kristiansen remains the youngest at 19yo 6 months (Anterselva 1988 sprint). Magdalena Neuner is the only other athlete to win before turning 20yo (19yo 11 months). Uschi Disl (20yo 1 month), Svetlana Davidova (20yo 3 months) & Martina Glagow (20yo 4 months) were also younger.
    • Today maybe there was poor wax servic, but Auchentaller loses in every race at the end, when younger competitors: Grotian, Richard, etc. are already running much faster. Vittozzi is 29 years old but unfortunately she got injured in November - if she recovers, she will still have a big chance for medals. Unfortunately, Wierer can only be a complement to relay teams.
    • Could be the waxing on the last lap fresh snow. Auchentaller, Wierer & Trabucci all fell off on the last lap and basically had the slowest skiing time there? Overall though you have a problem, days of prime Wierer & Vittozzi won't be repeated soon but then I hear the same issues in alpine skiing where there is a huge gap behind Brignone & Bassino (the latter being 28 years old already). And someone claimed Colturi would have plateau'd if she stayed with the Italian federation as well.
    • Could not watch it, despite that I'm definitely not upset :)
    • I am rooting for Team Canada in Ice hockey and Team Austria in Ski jumping
    • Finally at least one condition suitable for the dog shit we wax
    • Slovakia returns to the podium for the first time since Oslo in March 2022. To find a podium in the mass start we even have to go back to Rupholding 2019, before the covid era
    • The truth is that the entire Italian biathlon depends on one Vittozzi, who is not sure if she will return this season and her form is also questionable, because the rest of the Italian team is running poorly. Wierer is old and will never win again - she is running weaker and weaker and what is worse: she is shooting poorly. The rest of our team is running too weakly to count on any successes in the future. I don`t believe that Auchentaller or Comola will suddenly make a big progress in the run track, e.g. to the top 10, since the young French women are already much faster than them.
    • Auchentaller runs poorly, and her last rounds are awful - generally all Italian women have a problem with fitness and this is probably the problem of poor preparation before the season. If you don't run in the top 10, you can forget about successes apart from one individual race. Wierer and Vittozzi always ran in the top 10 during their prime. I don't see such potential in Auchentaller. Generally, both in biathlon and cross-country skiing Italian teams aren`t able to train a few good runners for many years and this is probably a systemic problem - look at France, for example: how many good runners have they been able to train in biathlon in recent years...
