Looks like our federation will try to change history and achieve some miracles with qualifying a athlete in a combat sport :d We are going to enter athletes in a majority of qualifying tournaments, and Milan Randl somehow decided few weeks ago to change radically everything and  restart his qualifying process from absolute zero. He decided to leave his category and compete the whole Tokyo 2020 cycle in the -90kg class, so he lost in last weeks more than 10 Kg eating only vegetables and meat, he stopped carbohydrates, potatoes and rice :bowdown: and almost dead after all this he already entered the last weeks GP in Zagreb..

 

but yeah, again qualifying anyone in combat sport is usually a unattainable challenge for us, so even with all those changes and innovations, I still expect the same amount of combat sports athletes as we had in Rio - a big nil :p

 

 

 

 

naaa...

this time you have the joker...with Karate in, there's a very good chance you get 1 or maybe even 2 spots...

and with a bit of luck, some  of your Russian wrestlers can also earn a chance (I'd be surprised if Makoev doesn't make it)...

don't be so pessimistic, mate! :d

Yeah, well, this is not about pessimism but rather about my personal gained experiences during last years in this case. too much disappointment, so this time I would rather not expect anything and maybe being pleasantly surprised at the end. :p

no surprises here...

 

and I'm happy they're destroying physically and mentally Hifumi Abe and Joshiro Maruyama in the men's -66kg...

I hope their epic fight for the Olympic spot continues until the last useful day, so to have them completely dead and gone in the actual Olympic tournament...:lol:

    • 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.
