by the way, great Speed competition, tonight...full of surprises, upsets and great efforts...
big winners of the day, surely Poland...they missed out on the medals in the men's divisions (where they had the defending champion, Marcin Dzienski), but they did make up for that with a totally dominant women's team (despite the shady absence of the Indonesian girls, who could have changed a lot the outcome of the final ranking)...
big losers of the day, instead, the Russians...they came here to sweep all the medals and they only go home with 2 modest Bronze medals...
and what a final in the men's event...it was so close...but Mawem just missed the touch on the final button...however, the tile goes to the strongest man in the world...so, no upset here (even if I'd would have liked to see the Indonesians at the startamong the men, too)...
no comment on the shameful mistakes of the Italian guys (and the boys at least made it through to the final bracket, meanwhile Dalla Brida wasted her chances alrready in the qualification round with our usual false start)...
