@phelps I've got some bad news for you buddy. Jutta Leerdam has confirmed the rumours of last week are true and she's in a relationship with.....Jake Paul, some YouTube guy who is mostly known for being....well, a bit of an uncivilized fellow, so to say. The chapter 'Controversies and legal issues' on his Wikipedia is almost longer than the rest, which should probably tell you enough about the kind of character this is

EWWWWWWWW

Such a stupid decision, considering all of them might not be able to compete at the Olympics because of their potential military ties. Can see a quarter of the nation's boycotting.

Dressage Olympic Rankings updated as of April 3rd, 2023

As I said previously, these rankings are still imprecise because the Olympic Qualification Ranking's period starts today, so only the competitions from now on will count. But, according to the current ranking for Men's Foil, isn't taking a quota. The individiual rankings give 6 quotas, being 1 for Americas, 1 Africa, 2 Asia/Oceania and 2 Europe. and are the best two countries from Europe right now, which didn't take Team Quotas.

Olympic ranking qualification simulation for dressage as of March 31st... Dressage Group A - Group B - Group C - Groups D/E - Group F - Group G - Overall -

Yeah, actually that ranking is still imprecise, because it started today... but FIE has cancelled all the events, so in fact it will start only at the end of the month, with the first events... Anyway, once officially the Fencing Olympic Qualifications starts today, I think it's good to have an overview about each country chances

Ce se intampla la FRG e dubios rau. Daca va uitati pe pagina de facebook a Federatiei, puteti observa ca au blocat comentariile, asta in conditiile in care nu putem spune ca pe acea pagina intrau persoane care sa injure sau sa jigneasca, cum se intampla la fotbal. Ce ofera Alina Alexoi pe pagina de facebook sunt doar franturi si nu prea se intelege cu subiect si predicat ce se intampla la Federatie. Din pacate presa de la noi nu-si face deloc treaba, deoarece situatia asta ar trebui sa fie investigata serios de catre jurnalisti. Pacat ca nu exista un Recorder si in presa sportiva... In alta ordine de idei, trec in revista un rezultat foarte bun obtinut in weekend: Alex Cret s-a clasat pe locul 2 la categoria 90 kg in cadrul Grand Slam-ului de judo din Antalya. E un rezultat excelent, care l-a ajutat sa urce pana pe locul 20 in clasamentul olimpic (daca ramane in top 20 pana la anul, se califica la Paris). Alte doua rezultate bune sunt locurile 7 obtinute de Lucian Bors Dumitrescu (60 kg) si Vladut Simionescu (+100 kg). Momentan pe pozitii care asigura calificarea la Paris ii avem pe Alex Cret (90 kg), Asley Gonzalez (-100 kg) si Florentina Ivanescu (63 kg).

To be fair, sports that need the Olympic status to be a competitive sport might need to take a good hard look at themselves (and yes, I know that'll be a majority of sports)

Yesterday's Results (Part II) EV Zug (6) vs Genève-Servette HC (1) 3-1 (series tied 1-1)

only because it's not an Olympic sport. give them a proper recognition and the sport (which already have more Countries participating at the world champs than the artificial track luge) will bump up their numbers and will have a lot more competitive Nations. look at Karate...it used to have the same old 5/6 Countries at the top...then suddenly there were at least 30 Nations with legitimate gold medal ambitions when it entered the Olympic program...now, a year and a half after the Olympic dismissal, it's back to the usual suspects. it's the Olympic status that makes a sport great, not vice versa. p.s. my first intention was just a joke...but I see that the argument has been taken seriously way more than I expected...

Oleksiak made the team, pending PR

Nice to see that the left lost overall there

Laon Kim (14 years old) has broken all the NAG records in the races he has competed in. Many believe he is the "next Summer Mcintosh"

A fun possibility with the inclusion of natural track luge is the simultaneous inclusion of ice cross downhill. You could have natural track luge the first week, and then take a few days in the middle of the Games to remodel the track and prepare it for two or three days of ice cross downhill at the end of the Games.

With both Australia and Samoa failing to reach the cup quarterfinals, South Africa has moved into the final Olympic quota position. Ireland and the United States did enough to keep pace while Fiji is getting closer to solidifying their spot to the games. The fight for the final core team spot is interesting as Spain leapfrogged Uruguay while Kenya lost ground overall.

Campionatul mondial de gimnastica pentru junioare Gabriela Vanoaga - LOCUL 2 in finala de la barna - 12.833. Este un rezultat bun pentru Romania care ne arata ca se poate, insa trebuie sa vedem si partea cealalta a paharului, Gabi a avut de departe cea mai mica nota de plecare 4.6, pentru aceste mondiale a fost de ajuns deoarece s-a ratat foarte mult, insa pentru viitor trebuie cel putin o nota de plecare din 5.4-5.5. Legat de gimnastica s-a pornit zilele acestea o mica “revolta” a Cameliei Voinea (mama si antrenoarea Sabrinei Voinea) catre conducerea federatiei deoarece Sabrina la europene ar trebui sa faca doar 3 aparate si nu 4 asa cum si-ar dori atat sportiva cat si mama. Sabrina a fost cam cea mai buna gimnasta din Romania in ultima perioda asa ca cel putin mie mi s-ar parea corect ca ea sa faca 4 aparate. ”Vizavi de situația creată de FRG,aștept răspunsul oficial maill-urilor mele din partea factorilor decizionali dacă Sabrina va participa la campionatul European de gimnastică la toate cele patru aparate. Persoanele care decid sunt angajații FRG: MOROȘAN CORINA,venită din Anglia,apoi din Belgia in urmă cu aproximativ doi ani jumate,fost coregraf care sa numit singură antrenoare la lot Deva fără a trece prin CEX,antrenorul olandez Patrick care face ce i-i se spune și care a fost adus și angajat de către FRG la sugestia Corinei Moroșan și o dnă antrenoare care le știe pe toate și este antrenor federal,antrenor de club și membru cu drept de vot în CEX. Ei sunt cei care vor să decidă soarta Sabrinei in gimnastică. Vă las pe dvs să vă exprimați mai departe... Mulțumesc!” Ceea ce a postat Camelia Voinea pe pagina ei personala de facebook. Din pacate daca nu te antrenezi la Deva “doamna” Carmencita te cam da si te face asa cum vrea ea cu o asa conducere nici macar incercarea de revenire a Larisei Iordache nu ne va mai scoate.

Great news for Ski Jumping. Hektor Kapustík did qualify for the World Cup after earning points in the Continental Cup in Zakopane. We are not going to use this quota this season, Hektor chosed rather to move it to the next season and want jump in Wisla or Zakopane Last ski Jumper in WC was Tomáš Zmoray 12 years ago !
