really surprised that nobody already choose the Big Red Machine. I can forgive the youngsters that have never seen them play, but the more expert guys...c'mon! I know Russian are not so popular right now, but those guys wearing the red jacket were just on another level.

well, Chalmers got really close... and I also got both Grousset and Miressi at about 45.5. only disappointing performance came from Popovici, but it was obvious since yesterday that he's not a short course specialist and, above all, he's not in top shape (and despite that, he was 4th, just a fraction behind silver and bronze). from my personal perspective, also Martinenghi's silver is quite disappointing, more because of the time than the final position (I expected him close to 55.5 at least). meanwhile the 4*50m free relay is disappointing from any POV...with Conte Bonin instead of Frigo to close down the job, it would have been an easy gold. bad mistake by our coaches (who always insist on those internal trials between some of the boys in the heats, instead of having a fix team already before the beginning of the day).

Tatis would rather end up being the DH, I think. Boston's troubles are mainly on the mound (especially the bullpen). provided Story & Martinez can stay healty and adding the Japanese slugger, I don't think they will struggle that much on offense. not sure Jansen is the right man in the right place, though.

just another monster-contract for a MLB player... the San Francisco Giants landed Carlos Correa with a brand new 13-year/350 million US $ deal and not mentioned before, the crazy spending NY Mets landed also the Japanes pitching star Kodai Senga. 5-year/75 million US $ for the player, with an opt-out clause for the team after 3 years (imho, this is a real steal...Senga should have been a much higher value). another Japanese star coming to play in North America is outfielder Masataka Yoshida, who got a 5-year/90 million US $ contract by the Boston Red Sox. Boston also signed veteran closer Kenley Jansen (2-year/32 million US $ deal for him).

I don't think he has many chances to win gold...I guess Chalmers and Popovici will be close to the 45-sec dead mark, and also Grousset and Miressi can go below the 45.5 mark... in any case, it's gonna be an exciting final

it doesn't need to be reviewed...in such cases, if there's a contat, it's always a penalty. the goalkeeper must avoid by any mean all kinds of contact, it's a specific rule (by the way, handball/basketball-alike blocks in football are not allowed, it's always defender's fault in those circumstances).

and as the main hosts will be in the top tier pot with those 3 teams at the official draw, making the tournament heavily unmatched...

hai anche ragione, ma quando un evento passa totalmente a margine dei media non è facile accorgersene/ricordarlo con lucidità se non si è proprio appassionati di quella disciplina...

del "resto", mi pare giusto menzionare anche Davide Ghiotto, David Bosa e Laura Peveri nel Pattinaggio Velocità, nonchè D-Fisch nel singolo e il doppio femminile Voetter & Oberhofer nello Slittino. Ghiotto ha ottenuto un buon bronzo nei 5000m, poco distante dall'argento del "nuovo" olandese Snellink (che lo ha battuto proprio nello scontro diretto in batteria). David Bosa ha ottenuto un ottimo piazzamento nei 500m e ha sorprendentemente dominato la division B dei 1000m (con un tempo che sarebbe valso un piazzamento nei primi 8 assoluti). Laura Peveri, dopo 2 quarti posti, questa volta si è fermata al quinto piazzamento nella Mass Start, ma si conferma comunque ai vertici della specialità. D-Fisch ha ottenuto un altro terzo posto nel singolo sulla pista forse più ostica per i colori azzurri (a Whistler, CAN), mentre le 2 ragazze hanno ottenuto la prima sorprendente vittoria per i nostri colori nella neonata disciplina. nello Snowboard, piazzamenti non entusiasmanti (Coratti, il migliore, "solo" quarto) nel primo PGS della stagione. nello Short Track, risultati molto deludenti per i colori italiani nella tappa di CdM di Almaty (KAZ). staffetta donne fuori dalla finale, staffette uomini e mista ultime nell'atto conclusivo. Pietro Sighel non riesce a salire sul podio nei 500m e non va neanche in finale nei 1500m. per gli altri, qualche lampo nei primi turni, ma poi arrivano eliminazioni in serie o ultimi posti nelle finali, ove raggiunte. francamente mi aspettavo molto, molto di meglio...specialmente dalle nostre punte al maschile. mi dicono, infine, che il Pattinaggio di Figura ha fatto piuttosto bene nelle finali del Grand Prix di Torino (specialmente il giovane junior Nikolaj Memola, che ha addirittura trionfato nella gara maschile), ma non seguo il settore, quindi lascio ogni commento a chi è più qualificato. alla prossima...

ricapitolando, il weekend di scherma si conclude con l'oro delle fiorettiste, l'argento di spadisti e fiorettisti e la debacle vergognosa delle spadiste nelle gare a squadre di domenica. ai mondiali di sollevamento pesi, inoltre, si sono disputate le ultime gare maschili con azzurri in gara: nei -81kg, il pesista cubano trapiantato in Italia, Oscar Reyes, ottiene un eccellente quinto posto (con la stessa misura totale del quarto classificato), mentre nei -89kg, Cristiano Ficco si aggiunge alla lista dei disastri, dei "fuori classifica" dopo 3 alzate fallite nello strappo. e, oltre al danno, arriva la beffa nelle vesti del giovane fenomeno bulgaro Karlos Nasar, che, nonostante pure lui abbia registrato un bel "bomb out" nel totale per via dei 3 errori nello strappo, nella fase di slancio si toglie la soddisfazione di migliorare di ben 3 chili (da 217 a 220) il primato mondiale che apparteneva ad Antonino Pizzolato (il cui totale degli europei, se ripetuto, avrebbe vinto a mani basse pure questo mondiale). bilancio finale quindi molto negativo, con il dubbio che le scelte tattiche dei nostri allenatori stiano scivolando pericolosamente verso un modello (in puro stile iraniano/nordcoreano dei tempi d'oro) poco sostenibile, che rischia di compromettere tanti buoni risultati andando a caccia di "colpi grossi" che non sono comunque (ancora) alla portata dei nostri ragazzi. da ultimo, segnalo anche nella Boxe femminile la bella vittoria di Irma Testa nella prestigiosa President's Cup di Dubai, che è pur sempre un'esibizione, ma vale come e più di una medaglia internazionale (Olimpiadi a parte).

as far as I remember, also Chile, Paraguay and Bolivia have always had only white and/or "native" people. I don't know if iot's true for the entire population, but in sports I just can't remember a single local born (naturalized Cubans don't count, hello Yasmani Acosta ) black player/athlete in their teams. but I might be wrong...tou know, I'm thousend miles away...
