Da diversi anni la Spagna è più brava di noi nella sciabola femminile in gare indywiduale. Per me nessuna sorpresa. Anche spada è stata una grande delusione: 0 medaglie (1x 4, 3x 5 e 2x 7 posto).

There are still neutrals from Belarus, although fewer in number, and they are marked with the simbol: A :P

Today, we also won gold in the mixed diving event. It's a non-Olympic event, but it's still a great succes to beat China and Australia.

If they had found her still alive, local authorities and services would probably have been notified.

Did they find her body?

It's also awful to express condolences, RIP etc., in the comments when there is still hope that she is live.

OK. I wonder what draws these people to these remote and terrifying mountains in Asia, when some of their friends lost their lives this way? You can have experience, great equipment, etc., but a rock slide and that's end. It's terrifying. What's more, many of these people pay huge sums for these expeditions and sacrifice their free time/vacations for this. I'll never understand something like that. If someone offered me 1 million euros to go there and climb, I'd say no.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1924_British_Mount_Everest_expedition The remains of these people were found after almost 100 years Technology has advanced, but as you can see, there is still not much that humans can do in these terrible and high mountains. Laura's boyfriend also reportedly died in the high mountains. It's a shame this didn't stop her from making such dangerous trips, especially to the highest peaks.

Nessuna medaglia oggi in scherma. Questo è il peggior Campionato del Mondo per noi da molti anni. La sciabola femminile sta peggiorando sempre di più e non c'è speranza di miglioramento. È una grande delusione per l'intera squadra di spada: niente medaglie... La sciabola maschile ci ha salvato il Mondiali. Penso ancora che la situazione peggiori a ogni ciclo e diventerà ancora più difficile perché i russi torneranno definitivamente.

So far, we have 15 medals, half of which are in non-Olympic events: diving, artistic swimming and 4 medals in the Open Water Swim. After including all the sprints for Olympic program, we'll have a total of 8-9 medals in Olympic events, with no gold. For me, that's a failure, plus the miss of any gold in the remaining events. Never in the history of the World Swimming Championships has someone won 10 or more medals and not a single gold. We're going for a record

In my opinion, the only hope is that some local people found her in this valley and she's still alive there. But we'll find out tomorrow at the latest whether that's true, because getting to this valley isn't a big event—it's a well-known tourist area and a starting point for Karakorum trial mountains. We'll have to hope for a miracle

I don`t know but I found one possible positive version on one of the Italian sites, which was not present in these previous sources: "Secondo un portavoce dei soccorsi, Faizullah Faraq, c'è la possibilità che l'atleta sia stata soccorsa anche da persone che si trovavano vicino al luogo della valanga, nella valle di Hushe"- There is a possibility that the athlete was also rescued by people who were near the site of the avalanche, in the Hushe valley. https://www.corriere.it/sport/25_luglio_29/laura-dahlmeier-biathlon-travolta-frana-pakistan-b51ca0fc-8edc-4280-b9eb-133d73262xlk.shtml

Unfortunately, each day of delay reduces the chances of survival In the Alps, rescue operations are easier because there aren`t so many inaccessible places where a helicopter can`t reach aid. That's why I've always been terrified of those great mountains in Asia: the Himalayas and the Karakoram. I wouldn't go there even for a $1 million bonus.

More or less the same as in Bild. If she survived the fall, it's tragic that she's been left without help for two days with temperatures under 0 at night. If she was located by helicopter, I don't understand why the rescue operation was halted? What are the procedures in Pakistan regarding this?

Yes, but there should be at least one gold. And it's a shame about the open water, because after six silver medals there, I had a bad feeling. In the 50-meter swimming, it was clear that gold would be very difficult and only Ceccon had a real chance. The rest of our swimmers have to compete against almost impossible-to-beat dominants like Ledecka, where silver is as good as gold.

Okay, but when was the last time you didn't have gold? This 1986 hurts me the most.

The Netherlands?

I wonder if there's any chance of getting there in better weather? And if she showed signs of life, would they risk a rescue today?

So they saw her body but can't land there? I don't understand German and the translator might be wrong.

Es gibt große Sorgen um die Ex-Biathletin: Bei einem Hubschrauber-Überflug wurde festgestellt, dass sie mindestens schwer verletzt ist. Lebenszeichen waren nicht zu erkennen.

L'Italia può ottenerlo qui a 18-19 medaglie, con il 99% di possibilità senza alcun l'oro – un record assoluto, oltre al fatto che si tratta del primo Campionato del Mondo senza medaglia d'oro in 39 anni (1986). Gli unici che potrebbero cambiare le cose sono Cerasuolo nella 50 rana e forse Pilato nella stessa gara femminile (ma data la nostra sfortuna, le probabilità sono scarse). Peccato che Martinenghi non abbia lasciato spazio a Viberti nella 50 rana, che quest'anno ha ottenuto il miglior risultato al mondo: altrimenti le possibilità sarebbero state maggiori.

Oggi c'era una possibilità, ma Ceccon è partito un po' troppo lento, ma ovviamente non è e non sarà mai uno dominantore. Aveva la possibilità di diventarlo se avesse fatto ulteriori progressi in 100+200 dal 2022.

They won two gold medals by less than 0.1 seconds. For me, that's pure luck. They have 6 medals and all 6 gold medals. Everything works out for them here. Plus, they have the open water dominator Wellbroeck, who won nothing at the Paris Olympics and is now unbeatable. It's easy for you to write because you have McInthos, who's guaranteed to win two or three gold medals. Having someone like that helps you stay calm and in a good mood

We don't have a dominant force like Pellegrini once did. And Ceccon hasn't made any progress since 2022, which is why he often loses. He wins medals, but rarely gold. It's good that he won gold at the Olympics.
