Went back to the continental cup

I agree that the Volleyball team should have won the team award. Medals > Qualifying. I have to say that I was a bit surprised Dončić came in 3rd. I expected either Zajc or Savšek to come 3rd. The women's side was probably the most predictable in years.

Slovenia: Men: 1. Tadej Pogačar (Cycling) 267 Points 2. Primož Roglič (Cycling) 166 Points 3. Luka Dončić (Basketball) 101 Points Women: 1. Janja Garnbret (Climbing) 336 Points 2. Tina Šutej (Athletics) 107 Points 3. Andreja Leški (Judo) 75 Points Team: 1. National Football Team (Male) 44 Points 2. National Volleyball Team (Male) 41 Points 3. Ski Jumping Team (Male) 21 Points

Looking at the ages of these dudes, I say this is a proper boomer sport. Our youngest is 32 years old Future is bright.

Just one of those days on the range for Fak today.

Equipment rules (specifically bindings and their height), which coincidently our guys were using prior to the OG 2022, but were then instantly banned overnight. Ban on fluor in ski wax Safety straps are now mandatory New jersey rules and measurement equipment Some of the new rules are explained here. Most of our team both men and women have been critical of the new rules, even the coaches. E: Here's is an article in slovenian. In it you have Granerud saying that he got injured because of the new rules in the summer.

Seems like Germans and Austrians really benefited from the rules change. Everyone is like 2 steps behind them.

After the way Angola played against France in the opening match, I was afraid that they would be too strong for our girls. Despite so many mistakes we managed to win quite easily in the end. The goal in now reached. Anything more will be a bonus.

Anyone know why Marusiak and Boyd Clause didn't compete in Ruka? Also it's really nice seeing Americans and Italians get points

I don't see it. Especially as it's very likely both Roglič and Pogačar will focus on the TDF. And the rest of the team is too weak to support someone like Mohorič.

From the top of my head 3: Garnbret - Climbing - Gold Čeh - Discus Throw - Gold or Silver Savšek - Canoe - Gold or Silver or Bronze

Rankings come into play after June 2024. A lot of games until then (whole nations league). There's only 5 open spots. 1 will go to Africa, 1 will go to Italy/Brazil as they are far too ahead in the rankings, which leaves only 3 empty spots. If they allow Russia back that will likely take one more spot as their ranking is frozen. I dunno if Oceania gets 1 spot, but they could take one as well. Which leaves only 1 empty spot and considering how tight rankings are around us, I don't see us taking it.

Looks like it's over for us. Our golden generation, who won 4 medals at the last 5 European Championships will retire without ever participating at the Olympics. This has to be the first time such a strong team missed out on Olympics so many times similar to Italy in football which hasn't participated in the last two world cups.

Great finish by Bol

I hate how the only time they tune in to field events is when they show replays.

New National Record for us (Slovenia)

Our commentators have just said that they want to bring cross-country back as a discipline in athletics in Los Angeles 2028.

It still shows them as qualified in the results.

Our guys are saying the change was after the line.

I really don't like Coe as the leader of the athletic association. It's a shame there's nobody who even dares to challenge him. I think with him in charge athletics have regressed. He has some good ideas but for some reason he only implements the bad ones like cutting the 50k race walk. I he cuts "less" popular events (let's be real he's talking about field events), then I suspect this could go down the way where we see two different championships one day. One for track and one for field events.

So many field events being decided in the last few attempts. Shame the general public only sees track action, as the focus on these events is almost like the people in charge would like to get rid of them.

Some big names in trouble in High Jump

Šutej has to be one of the most unluckiest athletes out there. 2nd time in 4th place in worlds.

When was the last time someone from lane 9 won the 100m sprint?
