Aryna Sabalenka wins the Miami 1000 over Jessica Pegula 7-5 6-2 in the final. This means she further extends her rankings lead and has eclipsed the 10,000 points mark.
Now it's clay time, first up Charleston 500 (green) and the iconic minnow Bogota 250
In the end Lanisek who jumped 13 meters shorter from a lower gate and better landing wins the last event of the season. Important feather on the cap for Planica who reclaims the longest jump record from Vikersund
Maciusiak is a budget option for the 'lean years' that are set to kick in. This was planned for many years once Stoch, Kubacki & Żyła retire (or become too old to have good results). We don't have any juniors and the development has been screwed for many seasons now. Results should get even worse especially if Wąsek suddenly drops off w/o Thurnbichler (as he was the only one who clearly profited under TT's coaching).
Right, so Kasatkina doesn't even live in Australia let alone marrying a local like Gavrilova or Gajdosova and she doesn't really need the money which was Tomljanovic's reason. Guess permanent residency isn't required when you're a celebrity either?
I'm sure FIFA can arrange for Iran to play their games in Canada or Mexico. Back in 1990 England were 'randomly' chosen to play their group matches in Cagliari aka the most difficult host city to access compared to continental Italy to limit the 'fan issues'.
So it's a silver medal for Overall five relays in each final with two teams clearly off the top level made these events quite hollow for lack of a better word.
Last event and maybe the first medal for
I mean we really should beat & even without Kaczmarek so 4th place is almost a given and then it's for the medal.
At least Skrzyszowska finally erases Zofia Bielczyk's NR from 1980 (which won gold in European Indoors that year). This was the third oldest NR indoors. Pia sounded happy enough in the interview because of that result.
Of course Jeanmonnot made a mistake. She wanted to make a turn while walking? You want to take the turn wide there and Preuss knew what she was doing by making the correct placement herself.
