    Ferrari found a way to throw their 1-2 victory away. Poor Leclerc, this should have been a big moment for him in the WCh, instead he isn't even on the podium.

    Kudos to the girls, it was a very good effort against the US, I think this was the most exciting final they had in recent years and it was definitely the closest match for the US at this WCh. Maybe next time.

    That was one crazy semi-final, and our girls successfully won the silver. First WCh final in 17 years. Not much of a chance against the US, but at least we are finally there.

    Just because I wanted to look it up, our semi-finals since 2005:
     
     2006 ECh - lost
     2007 WCh - lost
     2008 ECh - lost
     2008 SOG - lost
     2012 ECh - lost
     2012 SOG - lost
     2013 WCh - lost
     2014 ECh - lost
     2016 ECh - won
     2016 SOG - lost
     2018 ECh - lost
     2019 WCh - lost
     2020 ECh - lost
     2020 SOG - lost
     
    Yeah... for some reason we just can't go past Spain at the these big events. Thankfully they aren't in our way this time and the US is also in the other half of the bracket, which is why this is a big opportunity for us. The Dutch also beat us in SFs before but at least it's not Spain this time.

    The hype was quite low even here in Hungary for this WCh. You can sense that this was a last minute thing and not everyone took it seriously. Having three WChs in one and a half year is a terrible idea from FINA, they should have cancelled the 2022 edition after Japan refused to host it this year. 
     
    2022 should have been the "quiet" year for the Olympic cycle, as usual, the year without WChs, where the FIFA World Cup is the main event and the big Olympic sports only have EChs. Now 2022 is way too crowded with events, while at the same time none of them truly feel special because we just had two Olympic Games in a short amount of time.

    That's going to be one tough match against Italy. Greece on the other hand is looking really good for another Top4 placement.

    You can think whatever you want, this is one of those rare cases where it is quite evident, if you know some very undelightful details, that she used this ban as a form of escape. You have absolutely no idea what she lived through, the fact that she came back like this is astonishing. 
     
    She was one of the most tested Lithuanian athletes from 2012 to 2018, instigating that she used doping when her results got bad and after she already won it all is pretty stupid.
     
    Is it good that she purposefully missed her doping tests? No. But she was done, she thought she would never swim competitively again and she used the safety net of the ban so that she wouldn't have to make that choice herself and that the federation & media would stop pestering her about the upcoming 2020 Olympics.
     
    You don't know what it was like for Meilutytė when she stopped winning gold and immediately the journalists and many many sports fans turned on her, made fun of her body, harrassed her and all that.

    Always nice to see other nations win from our region because it happens so rarely at the WCh and the Olympics. Popovici is so young, I very much hope he can keep this up for at least two more years and win that Olympic gold.

    The bid failed. The Hungarian government decided to not support the hosting of the event due to the war and the economic crisis.  
     
    Orbán has been very supportive of sport events in Hungary, so this is the first time in the last 12 years that he stopped a bid. Probably a sign of how deeply the Hungarian economy is fucked.

    Also, this is exactly the kind of attitude that Russians showed when they couldn't get away with their cheating in sport events. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. It's not the fault of Western countries when you do something as silly as trying to rig a song contest for your own benefits.

    It is what it is, we can add it to list of things Putin ruined with his stupid war. Eurovision was never truly political on this scale before but I can't really be angry at anyone except Putin and Russia. People can't turn their brains off while watching a TV show that features a popular vote involving countries when we are the closest to an all-out war between Europe and Russia we have ever been since World War II.
