Recommended Posts

:EGY  Zeina Ibrahim qualified with a decent score, on par with the ones who qualified at the World Championships.

:RSA Naveen Daries also qualified, but with a very low score. Apparently, she fell once in evert apparatus. I really though :ALG had it in the bag for the second quota, but I was wrong. Too bad.

Both :EGY and :RSA had already qualified gymnasts at the World Championships. Too bad for Algeria, Nigeria and Cameroon, but hopefully these nations will not get discouraged.

Russian gymnast who already took an easy way out by switching to Albania... And now he gets a free spot too? :facepalm:

 

For me, this is the biggest Tripartite Commission controversy ever...

Nah, it's to be expected.

Of course, one can question whether his decision to switch to Albania was a fair move or not, but Russia was determined not to support him anymore, so he had nothing to lose.

Besides, he had never been very successful in Russia. His best result until he switched to Albania was one single bronze medal at the World Cup series. As an Albanian, not only he added another bronze medal at the World Cup series to he résumé, he also won the pommel horse gold medal at the 2020 Europeans, so he's kind of high profile now. He could even become the first-ever gymnast to go to the Olympics with a wildcard and still make it to one of the finals. Maybe even a medal if the final is as crazy as the one at the 2021 Euros was.

Also, keep an eye on the South African gymnastics federation website. They usually post full results of important meets. @JoshMartini007 might be interested too.

    • 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.
