good luck to the girls...they're shooting in awful conditions...it's raining like hell... luckily it looks that there's not much wind... p.s. after the world champs and the european games, back to our usual world cup tv director...he must be one of those headache pills reseller...

men's Greco-Roman Wrestling, day #5 semifinals -55kg: Zaur Aliyev vs Ken Matsui / Tigran Minasyan vs Anvar Allakhiarov -63kg: Abu Muslim Amaev vs Alston Jon Nutter / Shahin Badaghi vs Leri Abuladze -77kg: Exauce Mukubu vs Damir Rakhimov / Abdurrahman Kalkan vs Mohammad Naghousi -87kg: Ihar Yarashevich vs Giorgi Katsanashvili / Bedirhan Tan vs Ilia Ermolenko -130kg: Zhang Lu vs Colton Michael Schultz / Aliakbar Yousofi vs Muhammet Hamza Bakir

looking at his speed results in theprevious world cup stages, the only good lead/boulder specialist who's really worse than him is Alex Megos... and he's close but always behind a few others...normally he's slower than all of his rivals... I'd be surprised if he can stay in the top 20 of the Combined event here in Hachioji...and however, he has no chance to make the top 7 and qualify directly this week (not even the top 15, tbh)... simply, he's a (Lead) specialist...he's not the man to count on for the Olympic Combined...and I don't understand why our federation has not worked seriously with the only guy who has the talent to achieve an historic qualification...

she's 15...

in the first page of this thread you can find the list of the 20 qualified climbers (both genders) with no spoilers (they come in the following pages)... but don't click on the link to the full results, because it's updated and you have also the top 20 positions as they finished the full event...if you want, I can copy & paste and send you a p.m. with the positions from 21st to the last (or you can wait and see those results at the end of the entire events)... let me know...

then you must somehow recover and find a way to watch the Los Angeles 1984 Olympics' final run...it was one of the most exciting finish and one of the most dramatic sport events ever at the same time...

and I raise...I'm not urban...and I'm not even "modern"...and I'm more than proud!

well, the Rowing venue just is what it is...an artificial channel within the docks... there's no chance it can change a lot in 12 months (the only thing they're gonna do is put some decorations on the walls and a basic roof over the main stand -worldrowing has stated that's absolutely mandatory...they won't accept a stand with people completely exposed to the elements)...

also on Eurosport1 on Tv...start at 00.30 CET... p.s. and on Sunday there's also the Mixed Relay...

no, he's a Lead only specialist...he's gonna be outside the top 80 in the Speed qualifiers, which means he won't even be in the top 20 of the Combined ranking... our real Combined specialist is Filip Schenk (4th at the YOG last year), but frankly I don't understand why our technical committee in practice didn't even give him a chance through the whole season... if they don't get him ready for next year's qualification tournament, we're going to have no climbers in Tokyo...people like Ghisolfi, Bombardi, Piccolruaz or even Rogora are not good enough over the 3 disciplines (all the boys) or (Rogora) not yet ready for this level of competition (and who knows if she's ever gonna be a top player?)...

women's Freestyle Wrestling, day #4 medallists -50kg Gold: Yui Susaki Silver: Daria Khvostova Bronze: Mariia Vynnyk & Maria Leorda -55kg Gold: Patrycja Gil Silver: Ekaterina Verbina Bronze: Saki Igarashi & Sezen Behchetova Belberova -59kg Gold: Sae Nanjo Silver: Anastasia Nichita Bronze: Morena De Vita & Kateryna Zelenykh -68kg Gold: Naruha Matsuyuki Silver: Meerim Zhumanazarova Bronze: Khanum Velieva & Ewelina Weronika Ciunek -76kg Gold: Milaimys de la Caridad Marin Potrille Silver: Chang Hui Tsz Bronze: Yasuha Matsuyuki & Bernadett Nagy women's Wrestling, day #5 finals -53kg: Haruna Okuno vs Anudari Nandintsetseg -57kg: Akie Hanai vs Alina Akobiia -62kg: Wu Yaru vs Yuzuka Inagaki -65kg: Macey Ellen Kilty vs Miwa Morikawa -72kg: Evgeniia Zakharchenko vs Yuka Kagami

women's Wrestling, day #4 semifinals -53kg: Mariia Tiumerekova vs Haruna Okuno / Anudari Nandintsetseg vs Meiduolaji -57kg: Bharti Baghel vs Akie Hanai / Magdalena Urszula Glodek vs Alina Akobiia -62kg: Wu Yaru vs Mariia Lachugina / Yuzuka Inagaki vs Irina Ringaci -65kg: Macey Ellen Kilty vs Hanna Sadchanka / Miwa Morikawa vs Zhang Yue -72kg: Cheng Shuiyan vs Evgeniia Zakharchenko / Alyvia Nicole Fiske vs Yuka Kagami

and among the men, it's Adam Ondra who makes up for the disappointing outcome of the Boulder competition and takes his revenge over his main rivals... kind of a wasted chance for Alex Megos, who looked the most convincing in the field through his climb, but finally made a capital mistake when he was close to overtake Ondra... 2nd medal (this time it's a bronze one) in 2 events for Jakob Schubert...meanwhile it's only a painful 4th place for the local hero and Boulder world champion Tomoa Narasaki...all of them fallen more or less on the same point of the wall (once again, very difficult route prepared by the course setter, with nobody getting even close to the Top)... for Italy, another disappointing placing for Stefano Ghisolfi (definitely not having his best season)...4 years ago he was 7th, today "only" 6th...

Men's Lead Final Result Gold: Adam Ondra Silver: Alexander Megos Bronze: Jakob Schubert 4th, Tomoa Narasaki 5th, Sean McColl 6th, Stefano Ghisolfi 7th, Kai Harada 8th, Hannes Puman Full Competition Final Ranking https://www.ifsc-climbing.org/index.php/world-competition/calendar#!comp=8253&cat=1

and history has been made! Janja Garnbret is the first ever climber to win both Boulder and Lead title in the same year and in the same venue/week (Adam Ondra in 2014 won both titles in the male division, but Boulder and Lead were contested in 2 separate sites and in 2 different periods of the year)... today she dominated the competition, even if the route was so difficult that even she couldn't make it to the Top... disappointing 4th place in the end for the young Korean sensation Seo, winner of all the Lead events not won by Janja this year...

the women in about 15 mins... the men at 1.25 p.m. CET... p.s. all live on Eurosport1 (and on Youtube in streaming) EDIT: my fault...it's Eusp2

sure... Karate had 27 Nations (3 different from Africa and all Continents but Oceania) on the medal table of the last World Champs (and 11 of them with at least 1 Gold)... Taekwondo instead had 25 Nations on the final medal table (9 of them with at least 1 Gold)...with no African nor Oceanian among them...

you forgot Montenegro and Kuwait... however, if we look at the specific needs considering the list of virtual qualified athletes, we have 2 candidates for the women's Kata spot, MNE & MKD...meanwhile KUW is basically sure to get 1 of the 2 men's Kata spot, with the second going to BOT (currently 49th in the OQR and really at risk of going out)... the last spot (women's +61kg) has only Marina Rakovic (MNE) in the top 50 among the eligible Countries...which means that we already have a problem (MNE can't fill 2 spots, but there are no other Countries available in those 3 categories)... some sh*tty move incoming, I fear...

no, but they were held in Tokyo...so, they still have something in common... and at that time IAAF was still led by the master of manipulation, Primo Nebiolo himself ...

if they use the list of those Countries + the rule of the top 50 of the ranking, I really doubt they can fill all the 10 spots in the classes where they need to...

Men's Lead Climbers qualified to the Final 8th, Hannes Puman 7th, Stefano Ghisolfi 6th, Jakob Schubert 5th, Kai Harada 4th, Adam Ondra 3rd, Sean McColl 2nd, Tomoa Narasaki 1st, Alexander Megos Full Semifinals Results https://www.ifsc-climbing.org/index.php/world-competition/calendar#!comp=8253&cat=1&route=2

but now because of this rule, will they also review the 50km race walking results of the 1991 world champs in Tokyo, where Potashov and Perlov (both from Soviet Union, at the last international appearance with that name) finished together in 1st place keeping their hands?
