Ferguson  either doesn't seem to get basic tactics (obviously the French in her wheel isn't going to help her chase down another French) or doesn't know there's someone ahead of them  

Onto the last lap -  Bego with a lead, 13 chasers from    Etc.  Glasgow rain!

I used to have to climb that every day when I was a student!  

Issue was that Bego was the French №2, but every time the others brought her back the French №1 just stuck to them, so they lost confidence & settled for silver.

Yep, nobody wanted to really try and work together, including teammates. And then Bego did what she was expected to do after her recent results: simply be impossible to catch (especially by a sort of unwilling group)  
 
Great job by the French.

Amazing win by  sixteen year old Albert Philipsen.  Going to win a few more! 

Vatican city in the lead
On the italian TV, they say that he will try to catch the getaway

The full story of this academy reads like a Bollywood movie ....
 
 
 
World champion archers Aditi and Deotale products of same academy built on sugarcane farmland in Satara
 
 Pravin Sawant, a police constable in Satara in Maharashtra, now hopes his archery training academy, built on one-acre sugarcane farmland, will finally get due recognition, after producing India's two world champions Aditi Swami and Ojas Deotale.
     Both Aditi and Deotale trained under Sawant at the Drushti Academy in Satara's Wadhe Phata area before becoming world champions.
     Hailing from Satara, Aditi on Saturday became the youngest senior world champion at 17 when she secured India's first-ever individual title at the World Archery Championships with compound women's gold in Berlin.

     Later in the day, Ojas Deotale also became the world champion when he bagged the compound men's title with a perfect score of 150.

     Aditi learnt the sport under Sawant. Nagpur's Deotale honed his skills after joining Sawant's academy exactly a year ago.

     "Aditi was really unimpressive, an emaciated 10-year-old when she came to the Stadium where I used to train. But her stubbornness caught my eyes and the journey began," Sawant recalled, in a conversation with PTI.

     "She was really hardworking, would not take any break after a competition and train here for hours. I knew she is a champion in the making."

     Nagpur's Deotale heard about Sawant's newly-launched academy from his friend who trained there and came under the coach's wings in 2022.
 

     "His shooting was unorthodox but impactful. I just had to motivate him and tune him mentally. He did the rest," he said about Deotale.

     The journey to become an archery coach has come with a lot of failures and hardships for Sawant, who is now an NIS certificate holder.

     The 32-year-old had won a silver medal at the school Nationals in Jharkhand but he failed to make it big and worked as a part-time ward boy at a private hospital to make ends meet from 2009-11.

     In the day time, he did his hospital duty and in the evening he would practice archery for long hours at the stadium.

     Seeing his passion for the sport, Manabendra Kadam, a medicine shop owner at the same hospital, became curious about him.

     "I was coaching kids as well as doing my shooting to take part in tournaments. Aditi had joined by then and started winning too," said Sawant.

     "But lack
of a proper facility was a hinderance as I used to teach them at the stadium and then at another makeshift facility."

     Kadam then came to Sawant's rescue and decided to gift him one-acre farmland where he used to grow sugarcane.

     But getting a land was not enough, Sawant needed money to build walls, give the land a shape.

     His wife and mother came to his rescue and agreed to mortgage their jewellery.

     "I got Rs 2 lakh in exchange of the jewelleries, which are still mortgaged to a bank. Parents too chip in with their contributions and Drushti Academy came on it own," he recalled.

     "Last year we have installed floodlights and there is accommodation facilities for about 15 people. I mostly stay here with the kids, and it helps in training," he said.

     But the facilities are still lacking.
     "We still don't have lack proper equipment. I've written to the Zila Parishad, but the files have not moved till now.

     "But I'm sure people will take notice of the archery academy now after their (Aditi and Deotale's) success and hoping it would be given the status of a centre."

Ashley McMillan swam a 2:11.44 200 IM at the Canadian Championships today. Good enough to get the Olympic Qualification time and the 4th Canadian to achieve an OQT in that event. The 200 IM looks like the deepest event in Canada at the moment

Crazy good performance by India .... 92 years not a single gold ....then 3 over 2 days 🔥..... And a 17 year old in her maiden appearance figures in 2 . She  is the youngest ever world champion  .... Aditi Gopichand what an amazing performance a gold in women's compound individual and team.... The men's individual compound  gold medallist is just 21 and this is his first appearance ...... Ojas Deotale 💥...... Incidentally they both are from a tiny academy in a small Indian town satara ....

Klimkait won gold at the Judo Masters in Budapest. Shaping up to be a great battle between her and Deguchi for the Olympic spot.

Bohdi Kuhn wins Canada's first medal, and it's not a bronze!!

Canada has won 5/13 events today at the Pan AM u20 championships! Including a 1-2 finish in the men's 400m
 
Would have been a 6th, but Nate Paris NH the pole vault  

It's crazy how all these made up teams keep getting decent results in championships and the world tour as well. There is definitely a talented bunch of beach volleyball players in the Dutch men squad, but especially Boermans/de Groot and Varenhorst/Van de Velde are cursed with injuries and Luini/Immers just keep filling in various holes in the squad.

Luini and De Groot are an occasional couple this week. It is a mess within Dutch beachvolleyball right now. Boersmans (Boermans/de Groot) has a serious injury, Van de Velde doesn't wanna play anymore with Varenhorst. So Varenhorst decided to play with Luini, but Varenhorst has a back injury. Van de Velde decided to play with Immers, but last week he played the national championships with Van der Loo, while Immers played with De Groot.
 
Every week every player has a new partner.Not really useful in view of Olympic qualification.
