desperate situation for Krampl after 2 events... basically she must win the Lead section and hope that Rakovec ends up at least 2 positions behind her... meanwhile if Krampl finishes 2nd in the Lead section, Rakovec could afford to end up as low as 5th in the last climb...

no, it's a G1 Individual Tournament for Olympic classes only... Taekwondo calendar is simply a mess...they have too many people to make happy to be serious... by the way, here you have Day #1 Medallists (senior Olympic classes only): https://www.worldtaekwondoeurope.org/files/Results_-_G1_Olympic_-_29_NOV_2019.pdf and here you have Day #2 Medallists (senior Olympic classes only): https://worldtaekwondoeurope.org/files/Results_-_G1_Olympic_-_30_NOV_2019.pdf

South Korea really dominated this stage with 6 Gold Medals, followed by a bunch of Nations with 1 Gold Medal each ( Canada, China, Italy, Hungary, Netherlands)... Japan, Russia and USA also won at least 1 medal (but no gold), meanwhile Kazakhstan were close, really close to join the medal table, but unfortunately they were overtaken by Russia in the last turn of the men's Relay and so they had to be happy with a bitter 4th place...

Men's Final, Lead Result 1. Adam Ondra 2. Kokoro Fujii 3. Alberto Ginès Lòpez 4. Nathaniel Coleman 5. Jan Hojer 6. Pan Yufei 7. Meichi Narasaki 8. Bassa Mawem

and Narasaki falls well earlier than needed! only 26+ and bronze medal for him! so, Kokoro Fujii wins this Olympic Qualification Tournament ahead of Adam Ondra and his teammate...

brave effort by Bassa Mawem in the Lead climb... he'll end up 8th, but at least he gave it a decent try... Kokoro Fujii now leading with only his teammate Meichi Narasaki left... Narasaki only need a 5th place (28 holds) in the Lead climb to secure the win here in Toulouse...

no, not at all...it's just a dessert at the end of dinner, it's not to fill myself as a turkey...

sure! I like it so much and I normally eat it 12 months/year (at least once a week in winter...almost every day in summer)...

yeah, it definitely is delicious...those crunchy small pieces of chocolate in the middle of the soft cream... and the combination with coffee (the other taste) is almost perfect...

yeah, I know you're rooting for Silvia and why... Ferracuti was u-21 world champion a few years ago, but then she did almost nothing at senior level, even if our coaches insist to say that she's very talented and sooner or later she'll start winning also in the top class... at the moment, however, I'd rather want Semeraro to qualify for the Olympic Games, as she's definitely more ready to fight for the big medals and she still has a better mentality on the mat... Horne got a 2-month ban...he'll be back in January in Paris... (in German only, unfortunately) https://www.rheinpfalz.de/lokal/kaiserslautern/artikel/karate-jonathan-horne-fuer-zwei-monate-gesperrt/?tx_rhpnews_shownews[reduced]=true

my dinner from a few minutes ago... first... then... finally...

he was already training with the team in the last few weeks...he should be back racing after the North-American trip...

yeah, you're right...I don't know why I'm obsessed by our guys (and girls) losing to the Kazakhs everytime they face each other? by the way, today it went a bit better for us, with Silvia Semeraro finally beating Agier and reaching the gold medal match and Ferracuti reaching the bronze medal match in the repechage round (after losing to guess who? the girl from KAZ, Berultseva )... it's a pity that both Semeraro and Ferracuti are in the same Olympic class and one of them won't even have a chance to make it to the Games...

she's supposed to be an all-round skier...not only a sprint specialist... but today she started slow like a turtle...with a better start, she could have made the top 30...but probably she's not mentally ready to face the pain you need to feel to achieve good results (at least, that's what Fulvio valbusa said during Eurosport's broadcast here in Italy)...
