GOLD FOR MOL/SØRUM!!!! WOO HOO!!! Phenomenal match this was, the Qataris played really well too (their ball control really let them down at the end though) Probably one of the best finals I’ve ever watched (Hamburg Elite 16 in 2022 between Bryl/Łosiak and Meeuwsen/Brouwer was another) What a grind it was from them to come back from down 10-13 down in set 3, also having to save 2 MP’s.

Mol/Sørum v. Åhman/Hellvig in semifinal action starts now, really excited for this match

(RUS) Daria Kasatkina defeats 17 year old youngster (RUS) Mirra Andreeva 6-0, 4-6, 6-4 for the Ningbo Open title! Dasha sure does love her 500’s, she’s made 11 finals and has now won her 4th title! As always, Mirra was a bit of a mess emotionally. Racket smash in the first set, and a whole lot of frustration and crying. She’s still very young though, I’m sure she’ll learn how to control her emotions as she plays more matches on tour.

This 400IM field is a joke (besides MSH…)

WR for Noe Ponti in the 50m butterfly! 21.67!

Big Air WC Chur | Chur, Switzerland Women Gold- Mari Fukada (181.50) Silver- Reira Iwabuchi (167.50) Bronze- Laurie Blouin (163.00) Blouin avoids the inevitable 4th that she usually gets Men Gold- Taiga Hasegawa (177.25) Silver- Rocco Jamieson (163.50) Bronze- Romain Allemand (158.00) Japanese team looking strong for multiple medals in big air/slopestyle at the next Olympics in Milano-Cortina. Full Results

Djokovic defeats Nadal 6-2 7-6 (5) at the Six Kings Slam exhibition in Rafa’s likely last ever singles match before he retires. Those last few games were great, shows Rafa’s still got it even at his age. What a rivalry Djokodal has been, one of the best in tennis history (if not the best) no doubt about it

Two big names miss out on the final at the Chur WC, Ryoma Kimata in men’s big air and Anna Gasser in women’s big air

Bronze for Dylan Deschamps at the Chur Big Air WC!

Capogrosso brothers upset Cherif/Ahmed in 3!

Big Air WC Chur, Switzerland Women Gold- Mathilde Gremaud (178.50) Silver- Flora Tababelli (161.00) Bronze- Muriel Mohr (143.75) Mohr and Tabanelli were both medalists at this years YOG. For Mohr, it’s a first career WC podium! A very uncharacteristic 5th for Ledeux Men Gold- Matej Svancer (186.00) Silver- Tormod Frostad (178.00) Bronze- Dylan Deschamps (172.25) Full Results

We were talking about it during the season opening halfpipe WC, I think you missed it Hopefully the crazy maniac (or s) who thought of this idea get put in jail (… just kidding of course), and this nonsense format is only being tried out for this season and won’t return in 2025-26

Long awaited opening win four games in, as we defeat the Panthers 3-2 in OT! What a snipe by Millsy in OT!! Hughes was a fucking monster tonight, Lankinen made some HUGE stops (he’s been good all season long, even preseason, and I feel like has now officially taken the backup position from Silovs) And a bonus, Petey’s starting to look like himself again even though he didn’t record any points

Perilli!!! Wow!!

34-32 second set between Plavins/Fokerots and Mol/Berntsen, wow

So apparently George/Andre are splitting up after the end of the BPT Finals? Wonder if we’ll be seeing Evandro/Andre for the next quad
