phelps

did you expect anything else from this event? they (the Russians) just bought it as a "last minute" flight to build their chances to send someone to the Olympic Games... even the scoring scale is different from the usual competitions (never seen those 100/200 scores before)

I think you messed the genders up (CIV was 5th in the B Final in the W1X, for instance...and this can't give her any qualification spot)...

Final Recap (don't trust those Facebook pages) Men's Lightweight Double Sculls Algeria Women's Lightweight Double Sculls Tunisia Men's Single Sculls Q#1 Egypt Q#2 Zimbabwe ( Tunisia) NOT Qualified because they already have 1 winning Boat ( Algeria) NOT Qualified because they already have 1 winning Boat Q#3 Benin Q#4 Ivory Coast Q#5 Lybia (Winners of the B Final) Women's Single Sculls Q#1 Namibia ( Algeria) NOT Qualified because they already have 1 winning Boat ( Zimbabwe) NOT Qualified because they came 2nd in the Men's Event Q#2 Morocco ( Tunisia) NOT Qualified because they already have 1 winning Boat ( Egypt) NOT Qualified because they already have 1 winning Boat Q#3 Uganda (Winners of the B Final) Q#4 Togo (Runner-up of the B Final) Q#5 Nigeria (3rd ranked in the B Final)

facial expressions say it all...there's no need for the graphics with the actual scores...

and Biles won't win the Uneven Bars (probably she won't even make the podium)... only 14.700 for her (she's already 3rd after 3 starters)...

2019 Shotgun Shooting World Cup Final (Al Ain, UAE) Men's Skeet Gold: Luigi Lodde Silver: Vincent Hancock Bronze: Azmy Mehelba

that's well possible...our swimming federation in the last 10 years improved a lot in both the technical and the financial mangement...and now iot's one of the richest federations in Italy (thanks mainly to the good results, as funding released by NOC is based mainly on that)... and Open Water Swimming has always been well supported, it's never been the black sheep of the federation (probably because they were already winning world medals when our pool swimmers still used to struggle a lot even in the European context)...

no, our budget is always the same (more or less) of the last few years (and it's quite a poor one, if compared to Nations like GB or GER or probably also FRA)... most of those medals can be explained with the extraordinary results we got at the recent Acquatics Worlds (more than half of them come from that event...and we all know that some of them have been just a lucky coincidence -Katie Ledecky being sick at the beginnning of that event, Serbian men in Waterpolo competing with their C team after having previously earned the Olympic spot at the Home World Cup, Paltrinieri taking advantage of a bad day from Wellbrock and Romanchuk in the 800m free)... then we have the usual high number of medals from Fencing and Shotgun Shooting (even if only "minor" medals) and no Gold and also a few in Track Cycling (where we have a young and improving female team, who dominated the junior ranks for years and now are starting to show up also among the senior ranks) and in a new discipline like Karate... plus those 3/4 random champions we have here and there (Rowing, Chamizo in Wrestling, the Nacra teams in Sailing, Kerschbaumer in Mountain Bike)... basically, we can say that we have a couple of sports rising (Swimming and Track Cycling), a couple trying to keep up with the high hopes (Fencing and Shooting), the new addition (Karate) and a few random exploits... we'll see if next year those disciplines can confirm (or why not? improve) themselves or if it's gonna happen what normally happens to the Italian sports...losing positions when it really matters... p.s.however, it's 36 medals...but half of them being just bronze (and not set to improve, rather losing positions in 12 months) and only 6/7 being Gold (a couple of which are impossible to be confirmed)...it's not such a good persepctive as it might look...

questa può diventare una telenovela di successo...c'è un po' di tutto: sport, sesso, cospirazioni (e, parere personale, la sensazione che, arrivando così in ritardo, questa denncia nasconda qualche altro fine)... https://www.oasport.it/2019/10/ciclismo-maila-andreotti-accusa-il-ct-dino-salvoldi-entrava-in-camera-che-tu-fossi-vestita-o-no-e-un-massaggiatore/ anche se arrivano già le prime difese d'ufficio... https://www.oasport.it/2019/10/ciclismo-letizia-paternoster-difende-il-ct-salvoldi-sta-subendo-attacchi-irreali-abbiamo-una-dignita-non-permettiamo-che-succedano-certe-cose/ p.s. quasi quasi mi propongo per andare a fare il massaggiatore di una squadra di ciclismo su pista femminile...

it's in Italian (sorry, I didn't find anything in English)... https://www.oasport.it/2019/10/ginnastica-elsa-garcia-shock-ai-mondiali-abusata-e-insultata-dagli-allenatori-non-mi-hanno-fatto-qualificare-alle-olimpiadi/ according to the article, it's not even the first time Eric Demay and Cecile Pellerin are charged with this kind of behaviour (also the Swiss team sent them away in 2007 after Ariella Kaeslin reported to have been abused verbally, psychologically and phisically by the French couple)...

if only there were a couple of Olympic Quota places up for grab as in the regular World Cup stages...

tbh, there's nothing new or underdeveloped in 3x3 basketball...but this isn't the real 3x3 basketball, the same kind of game you can find in all the playgrounds around the world (and especially the big US cities, NY and L.A. above all)... it's just the same fiba basketball, but played by only 3 men/women per team... and this qualification system is just criminal...to say the least...
