no, there's no TV production at all... only the "night" sessions are available worldwide...

an absolute chocker! but this is what normally happens when someone is not used to face so much pressure... those to blame are the coaches that didn't select her for most of the previous qualifying events (World Cups, World Champs), rather than this poor girl (who still has his part of responsibility for throwing this chance away in the last couple of shots)... and the same rule applies to Sofia Ceccarello...why the hell she's competing among the juniors here instead of being selected for the major event, when it's obvious that right now she's by far the best Italian Air Rifle specialist???

I had no doubt even only after our friend's post, but still, CAS yesterday stated that they would publish the official decision on their website at 10 a.m. and they didn't...

by the way, they have published an interesting update of the WADA vs RUSADA fight... https://www.tas-cas.org/fileadmin/user_upload/CAS_Media_Release_6689.pdf basically, no agreement between the parties = no public hearing and said hearing won't happen before the end of April...

that's a big anticipation... now it's about 10.30 a.m. CET, but CAS website, despite yesterday's announcement, hasn't posted anything official yet...

yes, I saw that... however, it's live on TV (Teleticino...it's free to watch all around the world, in case you have some time to spend)...so, not a great issue for most people (actually, it's even better that there won't be certain idiots on the stands)... I guess it's gonna hurt more HC Lugano, as they are fighting for the last playoffs spot against SC Bern (they are tied in points with 2 games to be played...1 of the 2 teams will earn a playoffs berth, the other would evetually play the relegation round, where Ambrì have already been stuck for quite some time...they basically have nothing to ask to these last 2 RS games)...

I'm super-hyped in any case... and who cares about that damn virus?

remember that here they still miss their leader (injured at Tour Down Under) and they also have had some troubles with the anti-doping agency... they just need to re-settle and I bet in Tokyo they will be much faster than now (at least "relatively", compared to the other teams riding here in Berlin, since I don't know how fast the track will actually be in Tokyo)...

if he doesn't burn out after the team event, Ganna is going under the 4-minute mark in the individual pursuit...basically he made up almost 2 seconds to the Danes in the last 2 laps all alone... when he was leading the "train", ITA were always cutting the distance from DEN, while the other guys were losing at least 2/10s of a second each and every lap (except for Lamon at the start)... p.s. and now I can't wait to see what this team can do in Tokyo, with Viviani in top shape among the "fab 4" and after a few months of specific training (because also Ganna and Consonni right now are preparing the road racing season and are not 100% dedicated to the track events)...

Morocco qualify in the men's Heavyweights... with the 2 women, now they already have 3 fighters qualified for the Olympics...

and he wins!

if they don't give Tshama the win right now, they're worse than AIBA...

most likely, but not exactly new to the Games...this is his 3rd appearance after 2008 and 2012 (and in both cases he did even reach the 2nd round of the actual Olympic tournament)...

by the way, Namibia & Mauritius have earned their Olympic spot in the men's Lightweights (-63kg)...

they might have stripped those cheaters of AIBA of the boxing operations, but not much has changed in terms of poor judging... just tuned in and saw the men's Lightweights semifinal between NAM and MAR...3 judges gave the bout to the Namibian by a score of 30-27, the remaining 2 gave the same 30-27 score to the Moroccan... basically those 5 people didn't watch the same match...those who scored the bout in favour of the Moroccan just did it because of "politics"... even Colin's win in the other semifinal wasn't scored unanimously...WTF???
