It could be 3 groups of 4 but everyone advances, the first placed and the best second are ranked 1st-4th and go to quarterfinals, the other 8 teams to playoffs (5th v 12th, ..., 8th v 9th).

It looked like it could have been a close match on paper but Japan destroyed GBR...16-5 after three quarters.

La pallanuoto va ormai seguita con più distacco come uno sport di giuria, sapendo che le partite anche solo un minimo equilibrate (diciamo quelle che finerebbero normalmente entro i 5-6 gol di scarto) non vengono decise da chi gioca ma in base a indicazioni dall'alto.

KO bracket will be: - , winner v - , winner v - , winner v - , winner v

So i guess water polo will switch to a format with 3 groups of 4 and then quarter finals, with no more placement matches. And either the women's or the men's finals will probably be the day after the semis without a rest day.

It was really the greatest show ever, from the dead inside boxing announcer to the 30-minute halftime to Trump celebrating with Chelsea.

Gold for grandpa Pellielo in men's trap...I guess he'll never give up.

Looks like one of the eighth-finals will be GBR-Japan so one of them will make the top 8 for the first time ever.

A pity, it was quite fun seeing Sinner getting spanked by Dimitrov.

Very useful map, especially the 5 different colors used for 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-50, 50-60 M tonnes.

Belgium is in the bronze medal final in men's foil - could be another rare team medal. But they are up against Russia in the only event where they can field a top team.

The Dutch Empire Games including China, India, Japan, USA, Australia, Brazil and others...What weapons do they have hidden in Amsterdam right now?

i don't understand what you mean, Italy was on the other side of the table, and the final is over already - mine was not a prediction but a statement of the result.

Well, clear win for France in the end but still first ever Euro team medal for NED.

Yes, although the best Dutch is by far Tristan Tulen, Rafael's brother.

- (!) in men's epee final

Stutchbury won a medal last year and trashed Batini among others, she's young but more experienced than Cristino, better get used to losing to someone like her because it won't be the last time it happens. Errigo is inconsistent and not a great thinker, we have known it since forever. She can lose to anyone.

86 anni quest'anno, per un paio di mandati ci sta dai, anche se qualcuno con più esperienza sarebbe meglio.

Tbh the article says he was suspended in February, so if anything he can be a example of the fact that an high level athlete will be exposed in a relatively short time anyway. Is there any German elite athlete that has gone suspiciously missing from competitions for a couple years?

🤣🤣🤣 Apparently Ceccarelli only got a small fraction of the money she thought she was being paid. Otherwise I guess it will be Qatar next year. 🤣🤣🤣

not triplets but three brothers, born in 2006, 2007 and 2008. And they have a younger sister (2010) who is also a cadet sabre fencer (not here at the WCh.)

speed skating starting from 280€, short track and figure skating from 450€...I guess I'll just go to Milan for a random women's hockey match

Al contrario di 20 anni fa, la stragrande maggioranza di soprattutto sudamericani che ottengono la cittadinanza per diritto di sangue non vengono più in Italia ma vanno in altri paesi UE (non degnandosi neanche di imparare due parole di italiano), o al limite si tengono la cittadinanza per sfruttarla in caso di indigenza. Basta confrontare i numeri AIRE con i flussi di espatrio/rimpatrio- o se siete di alcune zone in cui ogni comune ha una miriade di italo-qualcosa residenti all'estero ve ne rendete conto anche da soli. Per l'immigrazione non si perde nulla. Se un discendente di bisnonni o trisavoli italiani ha intenzione di venire a vivere qui, ha ancora un requisito di soli 3 anni di residenza. Qualcosa si perderà in alcuni sport, ma non si può certo farsi influenzare dalla nazionale di cricket o di hockey per fare una legge sulla cittadinanza.

Non cambia nulla per chi ha iniziato le pratiche prima di oggi, e chi non le aveva ancora iniziate di certo non avrebbe avuto la cittadinanza entro il 2026.
