Karate1 Premier League, Stage #3 (Rotterdam, NED) overall, Japan got back on top of the operations with 4 Gold medals... they were followed closely by Turkey, who won 3 Gold medals... Germany came out as the 3rd best force with a couple of Gold medals, meanwhile France, Spain and Chinese Taipei completed the "serious" stuff by winning 1 Gold medal each one... Italy (men) and Spain (women) also got some satisfaction in the senseless team Kata competitions... looking at the Olympic classes, the 2 Kata events this time were spread between Japan (men) and Spain (women)... in the Kumite disciplines, instead, JPN & TPE shared the honors in the lower female division (by winning respectively the -50kg & -55kg), with FRA taking the -61kg and GER & JPN sharing the heavier class (by winning respectively the -68kg and +68kg)... on the men's side, TUR won the lower weight division (they took both -60kg and -67kg classes), with JPN topping the middle weights (-75kg) and TUR, once again, & GER sharing the heavy & super-heavyweights (-84kg and +84kg respectively)...

after a day off...back to business for our sabre girls... fully focused, they dominated all day long and left no space to anybody... well done, volks!

Yesterday the Swimming Marathon World Cup started in Doha (QAT) and it was quite a Dutch show, with both wins going to Sharon Van Rouwendaal among the women and Ferry Weertman among the men (where 1500m Freestyle Olympic Champion Gregorio Paltrinieri made his world cup debut...and it was a quite encouraging one)... here are the Full Results: Women http://www.fina.org/competition-detailed-results/fina-marathon-swim-world-series-2018-women-10km/event Men http://www.fina.org/competition-detailed-results/fina-marathon-swim-world-series-2018-men-10km/event

still feeling very, very bad... so, basically, I spent the last 3/4 days on the couch in front of my TV watching a lot of things without well defined criteria... mostly, it was about the Winter Sports last stretch of the season... then some Football (Soccer) European Cups, a lot of Hockey (NHL, but also many other European leagues like KHL, Extraliga from CZE and SVK, Swiss NLA and German DEL) and earlier today, the last 20km or so of the Milano-San Remo Road Cycling "Spring Classic"... right now, I'm alternating some Golf (US PGA Tour, Arnold Palmer Invitational) and some live NHL Hockey (Edmonton @ Florida, later at 10 p.m. CET New Jersey @ Los Angeles Kings)...

awful comeback to the usual world cup activity for Italy... not a single girl in the top 8 (and only 1 in the top 16), with Errigo losing this time just in her first round assault... on the overall side, there have been some quite surprising results, too...especially Pascu's win (well deserved, to be honest...she defeated, among others, world no.1 Olga Kharlan in the quarterfinals) and Pusztai's silver (this girl just came out of last week's junior europeans, but she's already good among the senior ranks...and this is not her first good placing in the top class)...

Women's Individual Sabre (Athens, GRE) Final Results: Gold: Bianca Pascu (ROU) Silver: Liza Pusztai (HUN) Bronze: Anna Marton (HUN) & Manon Brunet (FRA) Semifinals: Pascu b. Marton 15-12 Pusztai b. Brunet 15-9 Gold Medal Match: Pascu b. Pusztai 15-11 Here is the Full Final Ranking (and Results) from Today's competition: http://fie.org/competitions/2018/151/results/rank

when I read things like these, I can only feel a sense of sadness...

Korean freestyle skiers (Choi Jae-Woo, 24, and Kim Ji-Hyun, 23) banned for life after sex abuse claim https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/korean-skiers-banned-for-life-after-sex-abuse-claim-tlq6wspfb http://www.euronews.com/2018/03/15/freestyle-skiing-korean-moguls-skiers-banned-for-sexual-harassment

maybe I was a bit dramatic, but I was feeling (and I'm still) very, very bad...

earlier today... KHL Hockey (Salavat Yulaev Ufa vs Avangard Omsk, game #7) now... I'm almost dying because of my usual health troubles but I hope not to fall down before the end of Barcelona vs Chelsea (Football -Soccer- Champions League)...
