it took 4 starts, but finally they got away correctly...and Valcepina won her 2nd consevutive race over the 500m in the World Cup...and this time she did it at home, so...double satisfaction for her...

World Cup, Stage #5 (Turin, ITA) women's 500m, Run #1, Final Results Gold: Martina VALCEPINA Silver: Natalia MALISZEWSKA Bronze: Kim BOUTIN

in the meantime, Basile and Giuffrida are yet to fight their quarterfinal match, meanwhile Lombardo, after beating the lights of people like Abe and Safarov, has lost his quarterfinal match against mr. Nobody, Denis Vieru from Moldova... the perfect way to waste the day of your (still young) career so far...

sure, but she has not the same talent as Lombardo and Bellandi... that doesn't necessarily mean that she can't win even at Olympic level, however...only, it's more unlikely for her to win global medals than for the other 2...

well, they use 5 mats because of that, but also because there are more than 1000 athletes at the start... it's by far the most crowded tournament of the year... with Lombardo, I think we've found a real jewel... he's already among the best seniors in the world in his weight class (p.s. and throwing Abe around the way he did, it's something he'll be able to tell it to his nephews, one day)... Bellandi, she's also very good, but still she lacks something to win matches against the lights of the top French and Japanese women... Centracchio, well...great respect for her improvement, but she's definitely not at the same level of the 2 youngsters (especially Lombardo)... good round #1 match alkso for Bsile, who scored a quick ippon against an always dangerous Mongolian... now he has a reasonably easy draw to get at least to the pool final (and I'd say it's also an easy draw in that round, to be the Paris tournament -he should face Macias, SWE or Mohammadi, IRI...2 good but not unbeatable players)... so, let's say that if he doesn't make the semifinals, it's fair to call the day "disappointing"... p.s. a bit OT, but sadly I have noticed that Kudiiamagomedov isn't on the mat at the Freestyle Wrestling Italian Nationals...I fear that we've already lost him after just 1 global tournament with our singlet...

our young raising star Manuel Lombardo defeated (by Ippon) the great Hifumi Abe in round #2 in Paris!!! that's an upset! great job, man! p.s. there are so many starters at this tournament that they're fighting over 5 mats (and they began the day just after 8.30 a.m.)...

@hckosice hey, man! this is the real combat sport made for Slovakians...they are really becoming a powerhouse in karate! 2 medals in today's Cadet events!

by the way, the downhill of the women's alpine combined is already postponed to 11.30 a.m. I fear it's gonna be a complicated day in Are...

just talked too early...both the Danish portal and karateworld.tv cover the same Tatami (no.3), which probably isn't even the main one...

Europe’s future stars to clash for continental crown in Denmark Over 1000 young karatekas from 51 European countries are gathering this weekend in Aalborg (Denmark) to clash for the underage continental crown. The 2019 EKF Cadet, Junior & U21 Championships will be held in Aalborg from February 8 to 10. The event will be available to a worldwide viewing audience LIVE and FREE on karateworld.tv. Karate fans have the opportunity to watch the future heroes of European Karate in action at the anticipated underage continental championships. With 1092 young athletes from 51 countries registered to participate, the event continues the increasing popularity of Karate competitions all over the world. The previous underage European continental championships which were held last year in Sochi (Russia) registered 989 participants from 45 nations. The 2019 EKF Cadet, Junior & U21 Championships will also be the stage where the powerhouses of the sport evaluate the authority of their grass-root programmes. Last year in Sochi Italy topped the medal table with a tally of 15 medals including five golds. Giuseppe Panagia in U21 Male Kata, Christian Ferrara in Junior Male Kumite +76kg and Mirko Barreca in Junior Male Kata were among the top karatekas taking Italy to the top of the podium. Host of Russia with 14 medals, and Spain with seven medals also registered impressive performances in Sochi. Kristina Kozerenko in Junior Female Kumite -48kg and Daria Khodova in Junior Female Kumite -53kg were the leaders of the Russian success at home while Lidia Rodriguez Encabo in U21 Female Kata and Nadia Gomez Morales in U21 Female Kumite -50kg were among the top competitors of the Spanish delegation. The competition in Aalborg starts on Friday, February 8 at 09:00 (local time) with the Kata categories. The tournament will be streamed LIVE and FREE on karateworld.tv. Go to karateworld.tv to catch all the action from Aalborg.

imho, that's the best way to lose also those very few super-hardcore fans... personally, I might be one of those, but money doesn't grow up in the trees of my garden...so, I won't give them a cent in any case... good that at least 1 tatami (maybe even 2, if the karateworld.tv stream covers a different one than the Danish portal) is still free to watch...

it will never happen... it was the rule until 2013, then they started this unified world championship for FS and SB in 2015 and since then FIS have always said they so happy about the outcomes of this decision... it gives a lot more visibility to both disciplines = a lot more money from TV networks and sponsors... and you perfectly know that money moves the world...so, don't expect FIS to give up to this kind of events (actually, I expect them to try and get a super-world championship with most of their events all together...sooner or later)...

and in fact yesterday I wrote that's the sad truth, unfortunately... it's not that point that makes me lose any respect for Kasper...it's all the rest (said and unsaid, but clearly understandable "between the lines")...

I guess you quoted the wrong post... even if I don't like this kind of arrogance shown by NBC, I never wrote that's a problem to me... for the Olympic games, I'm taking 2+ weeks off since Barcelona 1992...and it's not gonna change this time, too...

sorry, but I just can't feel any sympathy for a Nazi-man nor for an idiot that's negating the global warming and the glaciers' restriction (but someone must read the articles to understand what kinda man Kasper is -what kinda disaster he is as the FIS president, instead, we all see every given day)...

Swimming, Freestyle BMX & Skateboarding already have been scheduled according to NBC's desires (at about 10 /10.30 a.m. Tokyo time)... Athletics being next is no surprise... the only sport the Japanese guys have put total veto on is Gymnastics...that will stay in the Japanese prime time (6/7 p.m. local time)...

actually, she has taken even topless photos in the past...she's never had any problem to write about personal things nor showing her body on her social profiles... p.s. she's gone down face-first, but for sure she also hit her bottom hard...

OK, it's obvious that you like winning easy with that...

naaa...trust me, that's Lindsey's bottom... look at this pictures and tell me that the girl smiling in the "original one" is not Laurenne Ross... https://www.instagram.com/p/BsThsOABUQQ/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BtT1lZXhWZE/

let's say it for the "long" sprinters...I don't think a pure 500m specialist can survive the second lap... however, it's the entire race that doesn't have a lot of sense to me (p.s. don't tell me of the track cycling Team Sprint event)...

naaa...I'm only pointing out that he must be a Nazi in the deep of his soul... but unfortunately, to be honest, he's saying the (sad) truth, especially nowadays, when it looks that all the popular enthusiasm and participation of the normal people to the Olympic Games has gone... p.s. in the other post, it's quite clear that we're looking at Vonn's bottom (and Ross smile)...
