2019 Softball European Championship, Final Ranking Gold: Italy Silver: Netherlands Bronze: Great Britain Full Tournament Ranking http://competition.europeansoftball.org/2019/ostrava/standing.php

Bronze Medal Match Great Britain 5-1 Czech Republic Gold Medal Match Italy 3-2 Netherlands

yeah, I read about it on the Italian newspapers... hopefully, everybody can get back to normality as soon as possible...

I hope it's all OK... if some kind of earthqualkes like those hitting California happened in Italy, everything would be destroyed... we're a Country at high risk of earthquakes, but basically we're totally not ready to face them...

and one week after the silver medal at the European games, Tomas Nydrle completes the moment of his life, winning the world title...and doing it in style, with a perfect 60/60 in the final...

Men's Individual Skeet Gold: Tomas Nydrle Silver: Tammaro Cassandro Bronze: Jeremy Harry Bird

the Italians...3 guys in the final and not even close to a medal... what a bunch of chokers!

the men's semifinals, instead, are: h.17.00 CET, Viacheslav Krasilnikov & Oleg Stoyanovskiy vs Tri Bourne & Trevor Crabb h.18.30 CET, Anders Berntsen Mol & Christian Sandlie Sørum vs Julius Thole & Clemens Wickler

Women's Tournament Gold: Sarah Pavan & Melissa Humana-Paredes Silver: April Ross & Alexandra Klineman Bronze: Taliqua Clancy & Mariafe Artacho Del Solar

congrats to Sarah Pavan and Melissa Humana-Paredes...well deserved title for them! pity for the Swiss duo, who dreamed of a medal, but ended up with a bitter 4th place... among the men, the usual suspects Mol/Sorum can only lose the gold medal by themselves...at the moment, they are just a class apart... this morning they won their quarterfinal match against the Olympic silver medallists Lupo and Nicolai as if they were facing their grannies they just destroyed the Italians, mentally well before than physically and technically...

Women's Individual Junior Skeet Gold: Zilia Batyrshina Silver: Katharina Monika Jacob Bronze: Esmee Van Der Veen

yeah, and especially in Lonato (which is a shooting range not known for very high scores)... however, the shoot-off has been completed...and the unlucky man (the only eliminated) is Georgios Achilleos... therefore, the 6 finalists are: Tammaro Cassandro Eric Delaunay Ben Llewellin Tomas Nydrle Jeremy Harry Bird Federico Gil

Men's Individual Skeet pre-competition favourite Gabriele Rossetti missed the final so, there's some room for anybody else to win the world title... Tammaro Cassandro, Eric Delaunay and Ben Llewellin are already safe into the top 6 with 124/125 targets, meanwhile the remaining 3 places in the final will be determined by a 4-man shoot-off between Federico Gil, Jeremy Harry Bird, Tomas Nydrle and Georgios Achilleos (all of them ended up with 123/125 targets)...

well, it looks like Italy won't be sailing the Olympic Regatta in this class...

a few notes... - this afternoon it will be the 16th time that ITA and NED will play for the European Title in women's fast pitch Softball... - the European Crown in this sport has never been taken by any other Nation, only ITA or NED... - the Gold Medal match will start @ 6 p.m. CET, live streaming is available here: http://www.playo.tv/video/Finale-3503.aspx

let's say that this kind of progression is at least "suspicious"... time will tell (however, if she does change her Nationality to a European Country -apart from ITA, of course- or the US/AUS, I hope she get caught soon )...

do you really think it's Bach's decision all this mess on the Olympic schedule?
