As per usual - Girulis bombs prone part of the competition... No chance for quota even before standing shooting starts

That Italian presenter is so annoying....

Good game by Lithuanian team. Hopefully will transfer this to games against Canada and Australia

Two more quotas for Lithuania. I was worried we'll miss it, just like we bombed canoeing qualifications.

Today is the first day of trail for doping in weightlifting and cycling. This is the biggest doping case in Lithuanian history. On a bench: Bronislovas Vyšniauskas - head of Lithuanian weightlifting federation, national coach. During the raid police found more than 1000+ items with doping substances Ramūnas Vyšniauskas - son of Bronislovas, Olympic weightlifter, previously suspended twice due doping violations. During the raid police found illegal psychotropic drugs. Antanas Jakimavičius - cycling coach, during the raid police found doping substances. All 3 facing possibility not only to loose their jobs (obviously) and get penalties, but also spend 4 years in prison.

Tragic performance by Lithuanians. Not even a single quota.

Gintarė Venčkauskaitė-Juškienė went from 21st to 9th in the last event and claimed Olympic quoata!!

Quatas:

Asadauskaitė smashed everyone anc claimed incredible victory.

Edis Matusevičius just threw 89.17 in National Championships. Achieved Olympic Standard and a new NR.

How come Andrulytė manages to win World Cup, but keeps flopping in olympic qualification events... So frustrating.

1st choose: Laura Asadauskaitė-Zadneprovskienė (Modern Pentathlon) 2nd choose: Simona Krupeckatė (Track Cycling) 3rd choose: Mindaugas Griškonis (Rowing)

Well, at least we doing better than Greece...

LAURA Let's hope she will repeat this next year in Tokyo.
