imho, he has very good chances I'd be surprised if he misses out (by winning a direct quota place rather by ranking)

to me, Skt.Moritz should have been the Olympic choice from the beginning (it's a track where we always perform very well, after all) the Cortina track should have been a project not related to the Olympic Games, their hype and media exposure (we definitely need a sliding sports track, but we should have built it "under the radar", keeping all the opposing idiots on local basis only as much as we could instead of giving them such a big stage and such a chance to make enormous damage to the sport in this fuckin' Country) I don't really see any advantage now in having a home track where we didn't have the time to train a lot more than any other Nation

it depends on the place and on the fate...and climatic change doesn't help if you're closer to the see or up the mountains, it's obvious that there's a higher chance to be in a windy place, if you live in the middle of Pianura Padana, instead, you can only dream of little wind gusts once every century (that's why this is the place with most pollution in the whole European Continet)

men's ILCA7 2024 World Championships Gold: Matt Wearn Silver: Hermann Tomasgaard Bronze: Michael Beckett Full Results https://jpvm.org/results/2024/ILCA_7/results.html

the last race for the Gold Fleet didin't take place, therefore Yesterday's scores are final only the medal race was contested and local hero Matt Wearn consolidated his success

he's just an idiot... that's his standard behaviour...the naughty child attitude that here in nobody can take... I don't really know how could win the 2020 Euro (held in 2021) with him on the bench? maybe that was a proof that miracles sometimes happen (and coaches don't count for anything at all)

don't trust too much the results of thiese early season small meets... more often than not, they're wind assisted and they're seldom confirmed through the Summer in any case, they're both promising guys that hopefully would post into some global final sooner or later (not thinking of medals, as it's definitely premature, if not unlikely at all)
