beats 3-2 from 0-2 down at half-time. This is probably the most embarrassing defeat for Polish NT in XXI century, even eclipsing the home defeat to Latvia in Euro 2004 qualifiers.

This is a legendary meltdown...

Well, the stadium is located within a huge Silesian Park so there will always be a lot of people outside in the summer   Those prople will probably come when Division I rolls along during the weekend.

Moldova vs Poland in Kishinev tonight. We should win this match...

Skydan with 71.69 to win Division III hammer.

Skydan 69.88 in the fourth round. Tuthill has the consistency but I don't think she can find two meters now.

Yeah, the beach handball stream is working fine

The stadium itself listed the athletics schedule:

Athletics has a TV feed, many sports will get the stream feed treatment. M4Sport would be more than willing to broadcast everything live on TV, but they can't because they aren't getting TV live feed for many events, just a stream quality feed. 

Yeah, plus the athletics is held at the Silesian Stadium in Chorzów so everything is in place from the professional standpoint. You almost can't screw the coverage up even if you tried.

That's a major shock as I didn't expect her back problems to be as serious. She will always have that insane 2021 season (mostly the second half of it) culminated by the YEC final.

Not really a surprise even though he was fired after four months on the job. Mexico looks to be going through their weakest period in the last 30 years at least. Wouldn't be a surprise if they didn't make the Gold Cup final either.

Three hours into adding all the Olympians competing onto my research document…and I’m only 12 delegations in 

 

Not sure I’ll finish it in time for the Games, but I’m doing my best.

What's the purpose of this 'research'? You're not obliged to cover this event at work?

Ekaterina Alexandrova defends the Den Bosch 250 title beating Veronika Kudermetova 4-6 6-4 7-6(3) in the final.

Well, US media have speculated already some teams will overpay a few centers now and try to find a poor man's Jokić for lack of better word. And we'll see if scouting European leagues becomes trendy again now that more & more March Madness "one & done" heroes just don't hit out of the gate anymore.

Katie Boulter wins Nottingham 250 over Jodie Burrage 6-3 6-3. This is only the second time in the last 20 years a player has won WTA title without having to face an opponent ranked inside Top 130 in the world

Even though Luka is great player, Nikola is way ahead of him. He is out of this dimension. Nikola isnt interested in numbers, but i am certain that he could achieve even higher numbers than now.

It's also part of a bigger picture IMO. With every team seemingly playing the 3pt small ball these days, a team that actually fields an old school center as #1 player can have a clear advantage. There are some good defenders left but most teams apply the "we can outscore then rather than stop them" logic. It's clearly the case with Mavericks. We'll see if more teams will try to copy the Nuggets concept but the center basically has to play like a few inches taller Larry Bird (which Jokic does IMO) to find such success...

All Russian final in Den Bosch -> defending champion Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Veronika Kudermetova.

All British final in Nottingham -> Katie Boulter vs Jodie Burrage (both in their first WTA final ever). Also the first all-British WTA final since... 1975

Also one more question.

 

Does anyone by chance know which Mixed team event will be in Ski Jumping (2 or 4 members team competition) ?

I presume it will be 2+2 so no luck for Slovakia there...

WTA 250 Semi-Final line-ups:

Nottingham

Alize Cornet vs Jodie Burrage

Katie Boulter vs Heather Watson

Den Bosch

Veronika Kudermetova vs Viktoria Hruncakova

Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Aliaksandra Sasnovich

Grass tennis could be hazardous to your health. Elizabeth Mandlik in action at Nottingham...

Gregg Berhalter is back as NT head coach. Guess even Americans have some common sense and dragging a 30 year old incident backfired on Gio Reyna after all. Either way Reyna probably has zero meaningful future in the NT and he's almost certain not to fulfill the early promise. Next man up!

Another loss for Germany under Hans Flick and this time in a friendly against Poland , I wouldn't be surprised if they fire him before Euros 

Only the second time ever we've beaten Germany (not counting the mighty version)

Well, most of the W Series regulars have jumped to F1 Academy since FIA basically created that women series under its own roof. W Series was destined to extinct after that series was formed. Jamie Chadwick is toiling as rookie in Indy Lights (NXT) where she has had many incidents so far and struggles to even crack Top 10 last time I watched. Dare I say it's gonna be nearly impossible to even find the next Simona de Silvestro among this Academy bunch. Danica Patrick was a marketing project even late in her IndyCar career and it went haywire after she chased the NASCAR money but that's water under the bridge now. Natalie Decker has crashed her way out of the NASCAR Trucks (and she failed the initial W Series driving test) and there's still Hailie Deegan in the Trucks who has had mediocre results for three years overall but she can sell the glamour looks. Guess the WEC Iron Dames are the current high-water mark for women in racing, Christina Nielsen is still doing IMSA last time I checked.

beating Andreescu is still considered an upset ?

For someone like Kuzmova --> yes It's on grass and I suspect Rybarikova from the couch could still beat all active Slovakians on grass

Veronika Hruncakova (Kuzmova) into Den Bosch QF with an upset win over Bianca Andreescu @hckošice
