Phenomenal first day for in pole vault, "silver medal" for Kylypko and 6th place for Onufriiev with PB and we are second today It makes our task not to relegate a bit easier, but we need to continue to score huge points in field events

4,65 FOR KYLYPKO

Personally, speaking for Ukraine, which is in the middle of the road in terms of athletics, it's a huge chance for our athletes to compete with strong guys and fight for quotas to WCh in Tokyo, so it's a great start to check your level against top athletes, earn ranking points and set season or personal bests

They have their A-squad in almost everything, except women's sabre, but I'm not sure if they will continue or not, so they still not as good as they were and ban kind of killed their fencing a bit

And there is gold for team Ukraine in the women's epee Didn't see that from a mile away, but after that tough match against Hungary it motivated us so much that we destroyed Italy and Switzerland in semis and final. And also this championship we proved that we not just Kharlan, we are much more, we were in three finals, and in how many finals was Russians, who claimed that they are powerhouse? Exactly, one

Russian luge representatives will not be at the Olympics

Roman Svichkar is our newly crowned European Champion in men's epee, first in 31 years, fantastic result (which reminds me of Kharkova, she also won her title in the first postolympic year). And silver for Komashchuk, she beated huge names like Gkontoura and Szucz and makes Ukraine now one of the leaders in the medal table. Also now our fencers won at least one medal in every type of weapon during this season

And funny enough we kicked out our "best player/ex captain/CL winner/spoiled whiney brat" Plotnytskyi and here we are

And we earn our second victory against Cuba, what a tough match it was, but 5/6 tournament points and 24 WR points before the match with Brazil

Ukraine starts its history in the Nations League with a massive win over USA in 3 sets and gains over 17 points in WR

Well, situation with Rafaelli is not exactly this topic, but the decision to not bring her to Tokyo Olympics and bring low-standard cheating Agiurgiuculese was a huge mistake

Because of athletes obviously, and in artistic gymnastics we have huge problems because we didn't have a great all-arounder anymore and our buggest hope is 1-event specialist or 14-year-old junior, who didn't even start junior career now, so now, our gymnastics is a disaster and toxic place of rivalry and feuds between coaches

No, you clearly didn't get my point. You can leave whatever you want, but make the reasoning valid and just say loud that you want more money and that's it, but don't blame our people of lack of your support at the Olympics

Well, that's our powerhouses, but the truth is that he was supposed to be our new Verniaiev and now that this failed it caused you drama

First of all, he changed nationality during the war and makes him hypocrite a lot, because he talked a big game about how he loves Ukraine, yet he failed to attend the meeting with our president and during the photoshoot it was embarasing, because all of the medalists from Paris were with warriors in frame while Kovtun was absent and they just place in the frame his photo, what looks extremely cringey. Second of all, he insulted us, saying that in Osijek there was more support for him, what is complete bullshit, because in Ukraine more people watched Olympics than Croatian population, so that's a complete lie. Third of all, he is highly dependent on his coach Iryna Gorbacheva (Nadiuk), who just wanted a passport of European country. Yes, our federation is a dumb mess and all of them should be fired, but Kovtun's decision was personal betrayal of Ukraine, and trust me, as Ukrainians we know much more than all of this forum users, because we knew about this news for 8 months now and we know much more than all of the Croatians or other nations representatives just because Nadiuk lied in our faces a lot and Kovtun just followed her after the Olympics. So yeah, he received rightful amount of hate and needed to be accountable, he is not a child anymore

Is the last sentence about Ukraine? If yes, then you are wrong, because we knew this information from the end of 2024 and it was the #1 topic in Ukrainian news for a while, Kovtun received a lot of hate and deleted all of his posts, related to Ukraine

They already existed in the programme

Same with our world record holder in 50 m fly Govorov, who announced to comeback but then quickly changed his mind and retired for that bs

Spoiler alert: the biggest reciepient of cheating accusation is Tommy Cash, because his voice is ugly and autotuned, so he sings horribly during all of the season

Absolutely not, Slovenia made huge mistake when it selected Klemen over July Jones, and they paid for it, dumb choice, boring song, empty staging equals non-qualify, kisses

Really good day for Ukraine, but unfortunately our leader Andrii Zaplitnyi underperformed

No, fencing become more interesting than before, now we can see more attacks than just boring 1 minute passive boughts and everyone has a chance to perform good in the fencing despite of the failed ranking round

Did somebody even wondering that russians violate rules in judo multiple times, considering how Dolgova try to break Bilodid's arm during Europeans 2021 after 'mate'?

Absolutely, there was at first all-around with 3 disciplines, where lead/boulder specialists were favorites, then it was replaced by Lead+Boulder combined, where lead specialists was favorites because of greater gaps that can be achieved in lead climbing, and now these are separate disciplines where it depends only on what each climber could do best (or who is Janja Garnbret who will win 2 golds)

No worries, they would be absolutely fine in Beijing and I am glad that Gubanova fell, so much more deserving person like Meda qualified
