Amazing domination by Stoch, Kubacki and Hula

I really hope they will change the camera angle for next competitions...

What happened to Slovenian ski jumping?

There is not a Champions League in women's water polo The 1st tier competition for Women is LEN Euroleague, you can follow the results here http://www.microplustiming.com/leneuroleaguewomen/indexCL_web.php?cal=1 Probably only 4 teams wanted to participate The World league is open to all teams,and there participated more teams in previous World League editions, so it is the only explanation I think

A new Polish ski jumper, 17 y.o Tomasz Pilch (and Adam Malysz's nephew ) will debut in Polish team this season, in the 4 hill tournament competitions held in Austria. He is currently #1 in Continental Cup General standings, with three medals already this year

I voted bad - i realize our football team qualified to World Cup, in Ski Jumping we had amazing 4 hill tournament, BUT our Handball NT did not qualify to the European Championship, our Volleyball team was a disaster throughout the season, and our clubs were barely any better, with all of them being eliminated as soon as the Champions League reached play-offs, and although i had low exectations, the EuroBasket also turned out worse then expected. Justyna Kowalczyk sadly also did not achieve any overall good results - but here I don't really blame her. Sadly it's natural for athletes to become progressively weaker as they are nearing their career end. It's just too bad our cross country skiing does not exist without her

FIVB has been choosen as the best sports federation of 2017

Apparently there was a tournament in Italy called "Memorial Alessandro Casadei" where participated some teams from the Italian second league SERIE B and the San Marino Men's National Volleyball Team, where the team actually took 2nd place Quite surprising they did not get thrashed by the Italian teams

MONTANA Volley, Bunge RAVENNA complete Challenge Cup 8th Finals Luxembourg, December 21, 2017. The last two teams to compete in the 8th Finals of the 2018 CEV Volleyball Challenge Cup - Men became known on Thursday. Both Bulgaria’s MONTANA Volley and Italy’s Bunge RAVENNA won their return games at home in five sets after winning away three-pointers two weeks ago. Here are the #CEVChallengeCupM results from Thursday, 21st December 2017: Successful European Cups debut for MONTANA In their maiden appearance in the European Cups, Bulgaria’s MONTANA Volley achieved a historic success by eliminating their first opponent and qualifying for the 8th Finals of the CEV Challenge Cup. The Bulgarians had won the first match at Hapoel KFAR SABA in four sets, but the Israelis put up a tough fight in the return match, winning the first set. MONTANA recovered to win the next two and stamp their ticket to the next round. Hapoel reached the tie-breaker only to lose it in overtime, shaping up the final 3-2 (27-29, 25-17, 25-20, 20-25, 16-14) in favour of the home team. Asparuh Asparuhov was the best scorer of the match with 20 points for MONTANA. Daniel Peev, coach of MONTANA Volley: “Hapoel changed the way they played in the first match and we needed some time to adapt. We had our chances in the first set, but made some simple individual mistakes at the end. But the boys fought back in the second and the third. I wanted to give as many of them as possible the opportunity to feel the emotion of a European match from inside.” Bunge RAVENNA snatch second victory against GENTOFTE Volley Bunge RAVENNA became the last eighthfinalist in this season’s men’s Challenge Cup. The Italians managed to score a second win against Denmark’s GENTOFTE Volley to advance in the competition. Having shut out the opponent in the first match in Denmark, Bunge cruised to win the first set at home by a landslide. GENTOFTE fought back in the second, stepping up their blocking efforts, and caught their hosts by surprise, tying the match at 1-1. Bunge did not waste any more time and secured their spot in the next round by winning the third set. The Italians failed to close the game in the fourth set after wasting two match points, but showed their power in the tie-breaker to set the final score at 3-2 (25-9, 20-25, 25-19, 25-27, 15-9). GENTOFTE’s Mads Møllgaard was the best scorer of the match with 19 points, followed by teammate Peter Trolle Bonnesen with 16 and Bunge RAVENNA’s Paul Buchegger and Nicolas Marechal with 14 each.
