official: bronze for  
 
now  vs  for gold, with  leading by 1 before the last 10 targets 
 
my heartrate is dangerously rising 

and it's official: 4th place for
 
 now leads by 2 points over  and  is suddenly in the hunt for silver
 
5 more targets to decide the bronze medal

next out, bronze for  
 
OQP for both of them, however

the next out, 5th place and OQP for her
 
 and  tied in the lead after 30 targets

If we'll haven't a France disaster, we can say (at 99%) that Onopriienko and Atamanov qualified for Paris. 12 spots still to abisgn. 

Really good routine for Baldassarri, she was a bit cautelative and had a low-D. That's probably will be enough for Paris, but it still early 

Seems to be a higher scoring event than last year's WC - last year nobody broke 100 points in qualifying. 

2nd group starts at 12, here some athletes to watch:
Vadeneeva (6th - 65.950)  Fanni Pigniczki (9th - 64.650)  Karbanov (11th - 64.300)  Milet (27th - 60.350)

We can safely say that Vadeneeva won the Olympic quota for Slovenia, 11 still to abisgn. 

Wiesner could qualify with a really good club routine (~33) but, barring some performance in life, it will hardly happen. 

2nd group is basically done, here the 3rd group athletes to watch (for me):
Santos (13th - 63.950)  Domingos (20th - 61.900)  Aghamirova (8th - 64.900)  Verdes (19th - 62.050)  Dragan (14th - 63.550) Piiroinen (24th - 60.600)

yes, I can tell you that CSKA is surely active in Olympic Wrestling, I have no idea about Dynamo (but I think they also are there)
 
I'm also pretty sure that all the athletes from the traditional regions who are serving the mandatory military service, during those 18 months (or is it 2 years now? ) have to temporarily switch to those military clubs to continue their wrestling activity in that span (otherwise they would be enrolled in the regular troops, with all that means)

Women's C2 finalists
 
               
 
8 out of the 9 boats will qualify to Paris

Dunfee well on his way to another Canadian 4th 

Three red cards for  Quinion. 

Dunfee 4th again.  Poor guy.  

25-25-25-19-25 for Jessica. That's so Italian

Montesinos almost went for a 37km race despite the finish line hostess showing here where to go

Ntrismpioti gets the bronze so she should be the oldest medallist at these champs?

Finally a race walking gold for was about time

Netherlands is playing against   right now. One of our best players, Nova Marring, injured her ankle. Looks like her European Championships and Olympic qualifier is over . A big problem for our team, as we don't have many good attackers left.

Well we lost 0-3 but we did quite well. We lost the first set 24-26, second set wasn't so close (16-25), and then in the third set we really battled (without Anthouli for most of it) but lost 26-28 after having two set points.
 
It was nice to see some other girls step up today and I am really optimistic about the future of this team. Let's not forget (how can we when I keep mentioning it ) that we were at this tournament without arguably our best player Vasilantonaki.
 
Also I am proud of our team for fighting and being authentic, unlike the United Nations All-Star team of Azerbaijan which we faced yesterday, or Turkey today with the Cuban mercenary Vargas as their best player...I would rather lose this way than win with fake naturalized players, and I know I'm not the only one who thinks this.
 
Lastly the live comments feed on European Volleyball today was absolutely disgusting, these things should be monitored, it was even worse than the FIBA ones. The amount of Turks making "swimming" jokes about how their ancestors killed Greeks in the sea 100 years ago was extremely disgusting, and quite shocking to be honest that so many people still think this way in 2023...

Looks like the belief that  will do well in odd-numbered year WC is in danger now
