Men's Junior Individual Skeet Gold: Benjamin Joseph Keller Silver: Mitchell Brooker-Smith Bronze: Martin Vcelicka

Women's Junior Individual Skeet Gold: Sophie Herrmann Silver: Areeba Khan Bronze: Raveca-Maria Islai

yeah, that's highly likely...these preliminary stages are like a poker game with the rules in place...

yes, that's correct

settimana in archivio... e per i colori azzurri la notizia più rimarchevole (e più deludente) è la pessima figura rimediata nelle gare individuali di Trap (le uniche che contavano davvero) ai mondiali di Tiro a Volo, dove siamo rimasti lontanissimi dal podio e, soprattutto, dalle carte olimpiche. l'altro evento principale sono i mondiali di volley femminile, dove le azzurre hanno chiuso il primo girone imbattute, pur senza convincere pienamente. Ora il gioco si fa duro e nel main round avremo 4 (3 in realtà) incontri veramente difficili contro CHN, JPN, BRA e la meno portentosa ARG, con la possibilità di ritrovare una di queste (o BEL/NED) anche in caso di qualificazione ai quarti di finale. Sarà uno dei momenti clou della settimana entrante. nel weekend peraltro arrivano anche un paio di buone notizie, quali il bronzo continentale (quarto posto assoluto nella gara open) del giovanissimo Riccardo Pianosi nel neo-olimpico Kitesurf (chissà che non sia una di quelle possibili medaglie inaspettate a Parigi) e il terzo posto nel torneo Elite del circuito mondiale di Beach Volley di Nicolai & Cottafava (tappa di Parigi, giocata sui campi del Roland Garros). per quanto riguarda gli appuntamenti della settimana prossima, infine, detto del prosieguo del mondiale di volley donne, gli altri 2 eventi da non perdere sono le gare di skeet (individuali, ma anche il misto a coppie, che è gara olimpica nel 2024) al mondiale di tiro a volo e il torneo iridato di Judo, al via giovedì in Uzbekistan con in palio la gloria, ma anche una caterva di punti buoni per il ranking di qualificazione olimpica. chiudo, per affetto più che per la reale importanza dell'evento, ricordando anche il tentativo di Filippo Ganna di battere il record dell'ora in pista a Grenchen (SUI) sabato prossimo.

don't take it for granted... if this one really works, that's enough for all of us to disappear soon... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Status-6_Oceanic_Multipurpose_System

naaaa...it's because Italy so far have been less than convincing (still, we won all the games, especially the hard fight against Belgium) and because of the stupid rules of the championship (the fact that the quarterfinals won't be a crossover with the opposite pool, but teams will have to play again the same already seen in the main round)... this makes it a lot more "tactical" and it might be better losing the main round match before the replay in the knockout stage... by the way, good luck and enjoy the afternoon...

still, if they start a nuclear conflict, it would erase the entire world... don't underestimate the real power of all the weapons (not only on the Russian side) that haven't been used yet... stupid human beings still have the chance to make it a global disaster (more than it is right now...and it's not a little thing already)...

https://www.ittf.com/rankings/ ops...I didn't see that the answer was already posted...

Athletics, men's 5000m...that's a true coin toss, as all the greatest middle distance runners and the dirtiest cheaters in history are in this list. Being coherent, I should vote for Zatopek, but since I'm more emotional than coherent, my pick goes to my favorite runner and person among them: Hicham El Guerrouj. Swimming, man's 200m Backstroke...here it's easier...and sorry for the great Aaron Peirsol, this time my pick is (once again) Roland Matthes. Archery, women's Individual...this is really easy, as Kim Soo-Nyung is the undisputed best female shooter of all time. Therefore, she's my pick. Sailing, men's One-Person Dinghy (Laser)...despite being one of the most arrogant human beings in the world, most likely he's also the best Olympic sailor ever: Ben Ainslie. Shooting, women's Pistol...since she's the only women to repeat herself in the same discipline, my pick is Maria Grozdeva.

Women's Team Trap Gold: Italy Silver: Finland Bronze: Australia

some quick turnaround among the Czech politicians... NHL says Russian players all clear to play season openers in Czech Republic. Czech government drops attempted ban on Russians on San Jose, Nashville teams.

he's just looking for some seat somewhere in her government... he's that kind of man, he has only one idea/ideology/aim in his life...make money (and if it's dirty money, it's even better)... on the other hand, he's the inside man (trojan horse, if you prefer) of the most powerful lobbies of the US multi-national corporations (from the entertainment industry to the weapons, it's all good for him)...

Mixed Team Trap Gold: Italy 2 (Giulia Grassia & Mauro De Filippis) Silver: Great Britain 2 (Lucy Charlotte Hall & Nathan Hales) Bronze: Australia 1 (Laetisha Scanlan & James Willett) and Slovenia (Jasmina Macek & Bostjan Macek)

e oggi, quando contava come il 2 di picche con i quadri a briscola, ecco che arriva l'oro nel Trap misto a coppie... qui mi sa che ne serve uno psichiatra...uno bravo...ma bravo per davvero...
