finally, Fribourg beat Red Bull Salzburg 3-2 after the penalty shootout, but the single point is enough for the Austrians to keep themselves ahead of Stavanger and qualify for the knockout stage.

and totally against the flow of the game Red Bull tied the game at 2-2. Now they should be in qualifying position. 8 minutes left in regulation.

Stavanger Oilers beat Ilves Tampere by a score of 4-2 and now they only have to wait and see what Red Bull Salzburg do in Fribourg (and they're losing 2-1 with 12 minutes left in regulation, which means that the Norwegians are currently in qualifying position ).

fantastica! le ha letteralmente staccate di ruota con 3 pedalate... mi chiedo se non sia il caso di provare a metter su un terzetto della velocità con lei al secondo giro e Vece al terzo (o viceversa)... il problema è trovare quella giusta per la partenza (che temo sia impossibile da far fare a stradiste veloci come la Barbieri o Arianna Fidanza...lì ci vuole una specialista particolarmente potente, che noi non abbiamo).

the news is about a month old, but since the Track Cycling Worlds are starting today and nobody already reported it, Cameron Meyer will call it a career at the end of the year. https://www.velonews.com/news/road/cameron-meyer-confirms-retirement-after-wild-ride-of-a-career/

The group stage ends tonight with the last place in the knockout stage still to be decided in Group E. Red Bull Salzburg have all in their hands, but should they leave any point in Fribourg, they're going to open up some chances for Ilves and even for the Oilers (but the Norwegians need a win against the Finns and, at the same time, Salzburg to lose in regulation in Switzerland). That's the last interesting (and somehow "open") situation of the group stage, then we'll know all the teams advancing to the round of 16.

ottime notizie dal fronte del Volley azzurro...asfaltata la Cina (punteggio di 3-1 ingannevole, è stato un dominio italiano con una breve parentesi di distrazione), le azzurre conquistano la semifinale iridata, dove (ri)affronteranno la vincente di Brasile-Giappone. e prestazioni rinfrancanti anche nelle ultime 2 gare (a squadre) dei mondiali di Tiro a Volo: grande successo al maschile, arrivato allo spareggio dopo una finale tiratissima contro gli USA, che in precedenza avevano vinto la loro medaglia d'oro quotidiana battendo le azzurre nella finale della gara femminile. Italia che vince il medagliere complessivo, anche se rimangono più ombre e delusioni che luci e gioie nelle gare Olimpiche, in cui torniamo a casa con "solo" un oro, un argento e, quel che è peggio, una sola carta olimpica. ci sarà da soffrire per completare il bottino nelle prossime occasioni. infine, domani è assolutamente da segnalare l'inizio dei mondiali di Ciclismo su Pista, dove si parte subito con i nostri pezzi forti, i quartetti dell'inseguimento.

some updates... KBO despite having basically no interest, LG Twins won the last match of the season against KT Wiz (6-5) earlier today and therefore the team from Suwon was overtaken by the Kiwoom Heroes in the final standing, which means that the 1st round of the 2022 playoffs will feature KT Wiz and the KIA Tigers from Gwangju. the series is a best-of-3, but with the 4th ranked KT Wiz starting with a ghost win already in the count. and all the games are also played on their home soil. game #1 is scheduled for Thursday, October 13th @ 6.30 p.m. local time (11.30 a.m. CET). if necessary (= if KIA win game #1), game #2 will be played the following day (same place, same game time). the winner of the KT Wiz vs KIA Tigers series will face the Kiwoom Heroes in the second round (dates and times TBD). NPB in Japan, the 1st round of the Climax Series (equivalent of the MLB Wild Card series) was completed on Monday, when the Hanshin Tigers won in dramatic fashion the series decider (game #3) on the ground of the DeNA Bay Stars Yokohama with the score of 3-2, coming back from a 0-2 hole and saving a 0 out, bases loaded situation in the bottom of the 9th inning. the 2 teams shared the first 2 games after amazing pitching duels (2-0 for Hanshin in game #1, 1-0 under the rain for Yokohama in game #2), before the dramatic end in game #3. the Hanshin Tigers are now going to face the reigning Japan Series champions, Tokyo Yakult Swallows (Murakami's team), in the Central League Climax Series finals (the equivalent of the LCS in the MLB). as always at this stage, it's a best-of-7 series, but with the best ranked team in the RS (Yakult Swallows) starting already with a 1-0 advantage in the series count. and all the games will be played on the Swallows' home turf. in the Pacific League, instead, it took only 2 games to the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks to sweep the Saitama Seibu Lions. and both games weren't that close nor attractive, to be honest. game #1 ended with an illusive 5-3 score (but the Hawks were already 4-0 ahead after 3 innings), game #2 was an 8-2 blowout in favour of the team from the extreme South of Japan. Now the Hawks are going to face the Osaka ORIX Buffaloes (last year's losing side in the Japan Series) in the Pacific League Finals. the same rules of the C.L. apply, which means that the Buffaloes start the series 1-0 ahead thanks to the (infamous) ghost win and will play all the games at home. game #1s of both the Central and the Pacific League Finals are scheduled for Tomorrow, Wednesday, October 12th at 6 p.m. local time, 11 a.m. CET.

because in the same gender team event there is only 1 team per Nation, as all the 3 athletes are used in the team, meanwhile in the mixed team event there are up to 2 teams per Nation (each team is made of just 1 man and 1 woman). Moreover, the mixed team events are "olympic events" (alternating every 4 years, in Tokyo it was the Trap, this time it's Skeet), so they are considered more important and worth the double bronze (personally, I think it's aberrant, but that's what IOC and ISSF decided). I'd rather change the competition format, if we need to keep on having this team event at the Games...instead of using just 1 day for qualification and direct medal matches, I'd like to see the qualification round on 1 day and then a full 8-team bracket with QTFs, SFs and 1 Bronze and the Gold medal matches on the second day...it would be a lot more exciting and it would give more (theoretical) tv time to this event.

Day #6 Women's -78kg Gold: Mayra Aguiar Silver: Ma Zhenzhao Bronze: Yelyzaveta Lytvynenko & Beata Pacut-Kloczko Men's -100kg Gold: Muzaffarbek Turoboyev Silver: Kyle Reyes Bronze: Michael Korrel & Zelym Kotsoiev

Actually they already got one yesterday... yeah, it's the entire tournament that they're interpretating attacks and passivitiy basically at the opposite of what they did until before this championship and giving away "shido" with wrong/biased/senseless criteria. maybe Judo is aiming to become the new boxing, with O‘zbekiston Respublikasi collecting (undeserved) medal after (undeserved) medal...

and Poland have their medal!

Lytvynenko!

but not impossible...Boehm is good, but not so out of reach... the session is starting in a few seconds, Pacut's match is the second (live on IJF.org, if you don't have any TV option or Discovery+/Eurosport Player)...

sesta giornata dei mondiali di Judo foriera di delusione e amarezza per casa Italia, con Giorgia Stangherlin abile a sfruttare le occasioni sino alla soglia del miracolo, salvo poi spegnersi proprio sul più bello contro un'avversaria tutt'altro che irresistibile e Alice Bellandi ancora una volta incapace di imporre il proprio judo a una tedesca, finendo così anzitempo la propria corsa in una categoria in cui sono piovute sorprese a iosa in mattinata. Per noi il mondiale si chiude probabilmente qui (con tutto il rispetto, non vedo come il buon Agro-Sylvan domani possa essere protagonista tra i +100kg, specie con il sorteggio non fortunatissimo che ha avuto), iniziato con l'impresa di Assunta "Susy" Scutto e proseguito con le temute tante illusioni mai trasformatesi in qualcosa di concreto fino all'argento (comunque pieno di rimpianti) di Christian Parlati di ieri. ora c'è da sperare che Lombardo riesca a recuperare in pieno dal grave infortunio subito in gara (legamento collaterale di un ginocchio andato a farsi benedire) e che con un po' più di esperienza i promettenti piazzamenti di questo torneo comincino a diventare medaglie nei prossimi Grand Prix e Grand Slam. da non dimenticare poi nel pomeriggio il quarto di finale iridato delle ragazze del Volley contro la Cina, il momento clou della giornata in chiave azzurra (perchè il vero evento del giorno è l'inizio "ufficiale" della NHL questa notte ).

Pacut is in the bronze medal match...
