    Vittozzi has been super consistent whole season and just a bit unlucky in a few races. Really happy, that the tough work will finally pay off tomorrow for her.

    I'm still bummed, that we most likely won't qualify the team.  It's our best generation in fencing in 35 years. Last time we had a team at the OG was in 1988. Even worse, that Ilieva could lose her individual quota, after she was focusing on the team battles this year and wasn't all there in her individual tournaments.

    Why is this a problem? I thought lots of people go to Cuba casually and then return to America.

    I can attest for the bolded part  Not much for the skating and wooden shoes though.
     
    The common list for Holland, a.k.a. The Netherlands here is -> weed everywhere -> Red Light district -> very tall people -> "they hate us", mostly Bulgaria, but could also be for Eastern Europe.

    It's not necessarily a problem, she would have easily gotten a visa. The problem isn't that the USA didn't grant her one, it's that due to her having visited Cuba, she should have used the regular visa application process instead of the simple ESTA process, which both her and (more importantly) her federation apparently missed.
     
    Had they applied for it in the regular way, well in advance, there most likely would not have been any problem.

    Gran Final
     
    The venue: Forum (Assago-Milano)
     

     
    Forum di Milano is an indoor sports arena that is located in Assago, a small town 3 km outside Milan.
    Was completed in 1990, has covered area of more than 40,000 square metres, with a central arena that can host up to 15,800 spectators, and is primarily used for basketball, tennis, live concerts and entertainment.

     
    The arena is the home ground of basketball team EA7 Emporio Armani Milan.

    Forum is served by the Green line of the Metro M2 (underground), is only seven stops away from the centre of Milan (M2 Assago Milanofiori – Forum). The structure is easily accessible also by cars thanks to its location, close to the motorway junction (A7 - Milano-Genova) and the western ring road (A50).


    The Forum hosted many basketball’s Italian Cup finals and many international sport competition:

    1988 Davis cup Final, Italy-Sweden

    Easy. America is so big, that it is almost in a world of it's own. You have enough quantity of sports inside the country, that there is no need to look at the international sports. When ESPN, Fox Sports, or newspapers for decades have been covering 99% only American leagues and stars, the people have adjusted to only care, or really know, only them. 
     
    Of course, the capitalistic, money grabbing (and absurd in my opinion) system of having as many matches, as physically possible, prevents any free time to even attempt watching anything else. 100 matches for your basketball and hockey teams, 200 matches for the baseball one, 40+ Nascar races, golf every week... Good luck trying to get someone to start watching ski-jumping, cycling etc.

    Adding one more to the list of controversies. At W66 kg today  Joana Nwamerue lost to  Yuliannys Álvarez with a referee stoppage. And the reason for the stoppage was the issue. At the end of round 1, Joana was winning comfortably 5:0, when Alvarez unsportsmanlike twisted Joana's arm, while in a clinch. She fell down with a potential injury and the referee decided to end the match with an Alvarez win, even though Joana wanted to continue...
     
    Haven't seen the Kob - Chukanova match, so don't know what went down there, but i wouldn't be surprised, if they gave us a favour.

    Scientifically speaking it’s impossible to not identify with either gender? Again, you’re either a male, or a female. You can’t switch genders, nor is transgender (or anything other than male/female) a real gender. 
     
    Anyway, I’m not trying to argue about this all day long, it’s pretty pointless. I can understand that opinions on this subject matter vary and that’s perfectly fine.

    It is scandalous that they can’t even have a live score page up on their website.  That is like the bare minimum you can do, leave apart the live streaming & production cost but just score update on their website is just basic in today’s day & age. Even junior/ youth competition have better organization than this & this is suppose to be the most important amateur boxing qualification tournament 
    How is this olympic task force any better than AIBA if they can’t even do the basics right

    Looks like this new sport is beginning to get traction here. Tomorrow we will open the biggest climbing hall in The Balkans, with special guest Jakob Schubert 
     
    It will have over 3000 m2 climbing area, 300+ routes, 200+ boulder sections.

    BG Team has been announced for the qualifier:
     
    Men
    Radoslav Rosenov (63.5 kg) Rami Kiwan (71 kg) Kristiyan Nikolov (80 kg) Yordan Hernandez Morejon (+92 kg)  
    Women
    Zlatislava Chukanova (50 kg) Aslahan Mehmedova (60 kg) Joana Nwamerue (66 kg) (she is actually Bulgarian btw )  
    We already have quotas in M 57kg, W 54kg and W 57kg. The absent weights without a boxer are M 51kg, M 92kg and W 75kg. While for the two heavyweights it was expected, as we don't have anyone relevant there, M 51 was a surprise. Looks like our guy is injured and they will keep him for the final qualifier.
