For those, who missed farewell of our very own Peter Prevc. 💙💚 It was so emotional, I was there, the best part was, when singer Luka Sešek sang "Con te Partiro / Time to Say Goodbye", cover from Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman. This was Peter's only wish, other parts of ceremony were a bit of surprise even to him. 😊😇 Hvala Peter / Thank you for all wonderful moments.

4 months to go!

Starting in a few days, German Swimmers have their qualification period for Paris. They have to swim the standards at one point from April 1st to April 28th. Those, who finished top four at the World Championships in 2023 or 2024 are already qualified (Märtens, Wellbrock, Schwarz, Köhler, Gose).

Just arrived at the game! I’m fucking hyped. This is going to be a good one.

Kelsey Mitchell is back for the last Nations Cup stop https://assets.ctfassets.net/761l7gh5x5an/6qNVJ95yF3TNbAx7UCuhLi/5ec7cdb0d15a556211c8af6720178b39/Team_Publication_as_25.03.pdf

beats in PSO to make the Euro Finals.

here's a list of all the Fencers from Countries eligible for the Tripartite Committee invitation currently ranked in the top 250 places of the World Ranking: women's Epee Susana Fornaris (WR = 66) Tufaha Uwihoreye (WR = 125) Maryam Malikova (WR = 186) men's Epee Keletigui Diabate (WR = 78) Abdulrahman Almane (WR = 126) Abdulaziz Alshatti (WR = 175) Hasan Alfudari (WR = 183) Sanil Sharma (WR = 199) Kruz Schembri (WR = 205) Abubaker Reda Algadi (WR = 206) Abdussalam Abujtela (WR = 208) Mohamed Eljballi (WR = 209) Alexis Mauricio Molina Ceron (WR = 249) women's Foil Maryam Malikova (WR = 115) men's Foil Mathieu Cheickh Jacques Prats (WR = 102) Philippe Wakim (WR = 145) Scott Lao (WR = 174) Alì Nasaar (WR = 177) Mihail Alejandro Salmeron Jimenez (WR = 215) Kruz Schembri* women's Sabre Odalis Judith Maldonado Delgado (WR = 168) Fatima Tobar (WR = 198) men's Sabre** Evann Jean Abba Girault (WR = 37) Andri Nikolaysson Mateev (WR = 157) Oscar Andres Anaya Ramirez (WR = 230) Ernest Douglas Hunter Doradea (WR = 231) * he has no ranking in Foil, but he's young and very talented...I wouldn't be shocked if he does qualify at the Pan-Am Continental tournament ** NOT counting the guys from , as they already qualified a man in this weapon

don't give those idiots such "great" ideas Fencing is good as it is (and the team events are the best in every individual sport)...they only have to recognize that now it has become one of the most well spread sports around the world, with a lot of Countries from every Continent capable of winning medals in any International competition and therefore give more space to it no changes, just more athletes!

If anyone is interested MEXFEST '24 in Spotify includes the songs I considered at one point for this edition. Would love to read some thoughts about it.

I just comeback to home from domestic volleyball match between Projekt Warszawa and ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle and I must say that twice between points a winner of this TISC, Italodisco was played in background

Avery Krume wins bronze in women’s slopestyle at the Junior World Championships! Tough day for Charlie Beatty in men’s slopestyle, finishing in 11th.

earned their first quota (or quotas) for the Games. Wushu (Sanda) quotas now shown on the qualification page: https://www.theworldgames.org/editions/Chengdu-CHN-2025-14/qualifications/by-sport I'm a little confused how quotas were distributed, given that one women's weightclass has 8 quotas awarded, but another only has 3 quotas awarded

UK Athletics really could learn a thing or two from British Swimming . Whilst athletics struggle to find a broadcast home, both BBC and Channel 4 will be showing the British Swimming Championships next week. BBC will have live coverage of the finals - not as a linear broadcast, but will be on iPlayer and online. Channel 4 will stream live coverage of both the finals and the morning heats. BBC are also confirmed to be providing coverage of the British Diving Championships

I forgot Kuwait already got a quota. I was thinking men's sabre for them. There's no participation requirements for tripartite athletes in fencing. In other sports, I've seen nations which did not participate at all get tripartite quotas.

18 Palestinian killed by throwing boxes of aid from planes....what kind of help is that ,this is just another method to kill more made in USA and go check if this help is not poison in food

I emailed Boxing Canada, Cavanaugh has retired already at only 23 years old. Not exactly confirmed, but I believe Barriere is switching back to pro boxing, I see Instagram stories of him training still.

3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings and our hope of clinching a playoff spot has to wait for another day Game was good otherwise though.

As a whole, I could see myself listening to this playlist while cruising down the coast. It has a great vibe. However, given the time of the year the vote takes place, and the ability of songs to stand out, I’m really sure what could and couldn’t get points from me. My favorite is probably “Óyeme Bien” by La Garfield. “Fuego” by Zaret also stood out, but it might have gotten lost in the crowd during competition.

No, the best is 7th place (TISC Annual 2018) Anavitória ft. Diogo Piçarra - Trevo (Tu) Statistics of at TISC here

Poland has been the most economically developing country in Europe in recent years. I am very surprised that they invest so little in professional sports.

But yeah, if I had full control (and an extra 1000-1500 athlete quotas) fencing would be bumped up to 12 teams and individuals would have 48 fencers.

Going to my first ever NHL game today, as my Vancouver Canucks take on the Los Angeles Kings! Fingers crossed the Canucks can clinch their spot in the playoffs. I’ll share some pictures when I get back

following the Formula Kite European Championships, the Italian federation has confirmed 2 more sailors as officially selected for Paris 2024 in both the women and men's Kite events: Maggie Pescetto (women) and Riccardo Pianosi (men)

Provisional entries are out for the final Nations Cup event in Milton (12-Apr - 14-Apr) As always, take the UCI entry list with a pinch of salt as they have been wrong in the past in terms of the actual line-ups used... Men's Team Pursuit: No team entered and also no or will be favourites for the event as they send one of their strongest teams - Bigham / Tanfield / Vernon / Charlton not going with their A-Team favouring Lamon / Boscaro / Giaimi / Moro although Consonni and Viviani are in the squad for Madison so would be available for TP. Men's Team Sprint: No so will be a relatively straightforward win for and all fighting for the last quota spot and competing with pretty strong squads - and have the same squad from 2023 World Champs whilst have the European bronze medalist team. Realistically the battle will come down to v with Poland needing to finish at least 1 place higher than Canada to take the final quota. Women's Team Sprint: No and a second string squad with no Hinze or Friedrich. It's a case of now or never for - they need to take advantage of the absence of the big 2 and get themselves into the medal rides and hope that finish mid-table. Women's Team Pursuit: No or will likely be favourites as they are sending their top team - Archibald / Knight / Morris / Barker with Evans available as sub. Think they may want to put a marker down given they've seen New Zealand take the last two NC events Other Thoughts: Ellesse Andrews is back after her crash in Adelaide. With no and the top missing, she'll likely start as favourite in the Keirin, but it won't tell us as much as we would have liked about her medal prospects. Martha Bayona is back in both the Sprint and the Keirin after less than stellar results in Adelaide. Katie Archibald is down for both the Madison (with Neah Evans) and the Omnium. Women's Omnium will be missing Ally Wollaston and Lotte Kopecky but the gold and silver medalist from Glasgow are in the field alongside the silver medalist from Tokyo so it is still pretty stacked.

Öberg sisters finished 5th in single mixed at Swedish champs. Only 5 seconds from silver. Apparantly Two girls in a team was accepted Peppe Femling won gold in his very last race, in team with girlfriend Anna Magnusson.

HC Košice have fans everywhere A girl with flag and HC Košice banner (which is also Slafkovský hometown team. Yep, we are blessed ) left the Bell Centre with a puck from Slaf. Classy kid !

and Slaf did it. His first record in NHL (well, in Montreal history to be precise, but still...) Well done Juraj Very first Habs teenager to have a point streak in 7 consecutive NHL games in all more than 100 years Montreal Canadiens history. Nice. Kid, well done !

eliminated from qualifying

And Poland is the last team to make it to Euros

@hckošice I'm furious! and heavily depressed, too why those idiots of CT decided to close CT Sport down for all the Slovak providers? and now, how can I watch the Czech Extraliga (and many more events I used to watch on that channel)???
