that's pure sh*t! give us back the 6-team groups!!!

flew to with basically a youth/B team (except for the 3 male sprinters, who in any case are not among the power guys of the discipline, and a couple of veteran specialists like Lamon and Scartezzini)

once again "my" Ambrì's season is over way too early will I ever get a chance to see them playing the finals at least once before I die?

no, I think until after Paris we won't see any detail about the 2026 schedule, my guess it's for the early 2025 (the first release)

of course I couldn't watch many fights since the early days had no coverage and in the previous days I didn't follow the action very closely, but for what I've seen Today, the only score that might have gone the other way round was the 2nd round of Charaabi's match vs the Korean IM (and it could have been a decisive factor, we will never know) Mesiano, Carini and Lenzi were clearly better than their opponents on the other hand, I saw more than one very controversial score in other fights...some were just made useless by the other judges, who saved the deserving winner, but not all the fighters were so lucky (Grainne Walsh, the first that comes to my mind)

tbh, it's less than expected among the women, they just did the bare minimum (and they even took too many risks, with Charaabi being way worse than her previous outings suggested) among the men, Lenzi is a great surprise (but he deserved the qualification from start to finish, Today he destroyed a Russian darling fighting for the very rich Bahrein like Latypov...he might even win a shocking medal for us in Paris, if he gets a good draw), but Malanga and Serra flopped big time we can say that we're still 1 quota place behind schedule (and I fear that we're done...Serra will regret for the rest of his life the robbery against him at the European Games)

well, there's not much diffence, except for the money involved... and actually, I first thought about fencing...that's why I'm afraid it won't work as well as we might think I'm not negative, I know what the current global situation is...and most small sports federations have enormous problems to get enough money to run their routine activity, so I'm concerned about something that's gonna increase the costs for WA rather than saving/better spend their money

yes, all the best crews were there basically this was the general proble before the Olympics (even if they have a global qualification regatta yet to come, if I remember well...but most of the Olympic participants are already there, so, not their task) the main difference between this championship and the Olympics will be the weather/wind...in Marseille the situation is quite different from Lanzarote (which is at the Islas Canarias), so, the outcome might be different, too (btw, I don't think that will miss out on a medal, at least among the women...they're too good)

maybe they have to review the Olympic Qualification process, but they also have to guarantee all the athletes that can't make it to the Olympics a truly satisfactory activity looking at the usual starting field, I don't think that nobody cares about the G1/G2 tournaments...actually, most likely they're the reason why Taekwondo has so many participants in all the weight classes at the most important competitions like the World Champs without that stuff through the whole year, many Countries that can't aim for a spot among the "greats" going to the Games most likely wouldn't even develop a high level Taekwondo program should they create a yearly World Tour (like Tennis, for instance), it should have many tournaments in any case and it should be on multiple levels of play and probably it would cost WT (and the organizers) too much
