that's disgusting! comparable to Roy Jones Jr. in Seoul 1988 in boxing frankly, it's time for wrestling to be thrown out of the Olympics, just like boxing

quick (and tough) exchange of accusations between MLB and MLBPA Yesterday...strike incoming? imho, overpowering has a lot more to do with the current streak of injuries than pitch clock actually, I don't think pitch clock has any influence another question that's not been raised yet (and who knows if it will be at some point?), it's how the pitchers are grown in their young age, asking them too much and too early, so to be ready for the pro ranks as quick as possible (= more money and earlier for all the parties involved, from the family to the youth ranks coaches to the scouts and agents, who are well known to be interested only in their own earnings rather than the health of the people they represent...there's always someone else once you're gone) p.s. a more relaxed pitch clock, 6-man rotation and 15/20 RS games less (like in the NPB/KBO) might be a good idea in any case, independently from the increase of injuries to the pitchers' elbows

the same as yesterday, I guess Bulgarian TV (online with a vpn) and Turkish TV (no idea if it was actually working without vpn or not when wrestling started) the links are a couple of pages behind

I think that funding is more than enough, especially compared with so many Nations that don't have anything but fractions of what we have and still manage to win bunch of medals at any level imho, we just don't have knowhow and attitude (and maybe we're a bit short in terms of youngsters practicing the sport, but this doesn't stop our success in other disciplines, so I don't consider that a key factor)

very impressive swim by Ben he's definitely one of the top (gold) medal candidates in Paris

well, the girls had some interesting results in the past years (Aurora Russo is the 2023 junior european and world champion) and Piroddu also had great results in the youth classes I don't really know why they just can't translate that once they enter the senior ranks? imho, we need to invest on top class coaches (and their "unconventional" methods, which might be hard to cope with here in our society) rather than going for athletes' shopping in Russia or in Cuba (especially nowadays)

he's getting old... and he's never been comfortable in the -74kg class, he was at his best in the -65kg, but he couldn't keep that weight anymore after Rio and movin'up was inevitable

the federation has given Kim Polling permission to immediately switch to she's married to Andrea Regis (former player and now IJF official) let's hope that the Italian burocracy doesn't make any damage she would cover the very important -70kg class for us, which means that we could have a very competitive squad in team event, too

once again, playing the not-paying spectator role oh, man...how far away the times of "Pollicino" Maenza (or even Minguzzi) are!

there was a lot of hype for the men's 100m Free, but tbh, I'm a lot more impressed with Freya Colbert and Max Litchfield's IM races results if that's the standard, I think and can take care of the British 4*100m Free Relay, that was so impressive last year (they basically threw the world champs gold away with that senseless exchange in the prelims)

that's really unexpected! I thought fencing (and especially epee, which is the least "athletic" discipline) was one of those sports where people don't need to cheat like that I'm very surprised and sad because of this news
