well, those are all but "news"... those articles are dating back, 1 to last May and 1 to Ocotber 2015, if not more...

yeah, as expected (we have to admit) those first games are not so exciting...most often we have a pre-season atmopsphere and, even worse, a pre-season attitude by many teams... by the way, I saw some good audience in some ice rinks here and there (Czech Republic and especially Sweden being the black sheep as always )...at least, if compared to the past years...

great day of Wrestling...I've never been a fan of the super-heavyweights, but yesterday it was the weight class that offered the most exciting bouts throughout the entire day...and it ended with a final match absolutely amazing... by the way, decisions about the future have been taken... these are the new weight classes for seniors, sub-23 and juniors: To Be Noticed: in Bold the Olympic Classes Men's Freestyle -57kg -61kg -65kg -70kg -74kg -79kg -86kg -92kg -97kg –125kg Women's Wrestling -50kg -53kg -55kg -57kg -59kg -62kg -65kg -68kg -72kg -76kg Greco-Roman Wrestling -55kg -60kg -63kg -67kg -72kg -77kg -82kg -87kg –97kg –130kg Moreover, it's confirmed that from the next season all major tournaments will be contested over 2 days

Champions Hockey League 2017/2018 Yesterday's Results Neman Grodno 5-4 (ot) Vienna Capitals JYP Jyväskylä 3-2 EV Zug Oceláři Třinec 9-1 Esbjerg Energy Grizzlys Wolfsburg 4-3 HC05 Banská Bystrica Brynäs IF 4-3 (so) IFK Helsinki Red Bull Salzburg 1-6 Tappara Tampere Red Bull Munich 6-2 Comarch Cracovia and Today's Schedule Gap Rapaces vs. ZSC Lions Zurich Group H, Alps Arena (15:00) With a point from their OT loss in Gothenburg, ZSC head to the French Alps with the chance to move further ahead of the chasing pack. Frölunda Indians vs. KAC Klagenfurt Group H, Frölundaborg (15:00) The two unbeaten sides meet in Gothenburg as both look to go clear at the top of Group H. Both had tough opening matches, but if Klagenfurt can get anything from the defending champions' it will be a huge result for them. Bílí Tygři Liberec vs. Cardiff Devils Group E, Home Credit Arena (15:30) After their baptism of fire in Davos, Cardiff head to Liberec for the first ever meeting in the CHL between teams from the Extraliga and Elite League. Mountfield HK vs. Nottingham Panthers Group F, Arena Hradec Králové (18:00) Both teams surprised on opening day - Mountfield by comfortably beating TPS, and Nottingham with their battling performance in Bern. Stavanger Oilers vs. Malmö Redhawks Group B, DNB Arena (18:00) The two sides meet as both go in search of their first win in the CHL this season, but it's also got more spice to it as for the first time Norwegian and Swedish teams do battle in the competition! KalPa Kuopio vs. Kometa Brno Group B, Niiralan Monttu (18:00) The top two teams in the group after one game meet in Kuopio. The hosts will have to start better than in their last home game, while the visitors go in search of the perfect end to their road trip. SC Bern vs. TPS Turku Group F, PostFinance Arena (19:45) Having been outplayed against Mountfield HK, TPS head to Bern with an immediate chance to turn things around. The home side however have the chance to move six points clear of tonight's opponents with a win. HC Davos vs. Växjö Lakers Group E, Vaillant Arena (19:45) After their big win on opening night, HC Davos will expect a thoroughly different challenge in the shape of last year's CHL Semi-Finalists. The Lakers had a poor spell in Liberec where they conceded three goals in as many minutes, but still won the game in OT. Whoever tonight will be in the driving seat for qualification.

here: http://jrworlds2017.veloresults.com/ I also found a link to a supposed live broadcast, but today's races are already over (should be good for tomorrow)... https://velodromemontichiari.com/en/velotv-en/ p.s. to be honest...I've just given a look at it...and there are no updates since yesterday morning...

too much Japan in Women's Wrestling...but still a nice competition, with medals going more or less all around the world... in the meantime, a few moments ago I watched an unbelievable match in the men's -125kg...Shabanbay (KAZ) lost to Gagloev (SVK) 11-10...I think I never saw such a high score in this weight class, even in freestyle (where scoring is higher on average)... and Italy also got their first win in a single match at these World Champs... thanks to our Georgian born guy Givi Davidovi in the -57kg class (he beat a Moroccan wrestler by superiority)... I hope he can get at least another win...so, just for my personal satisfaction (you know...sometimes it's a bit frustrating watching and being a fan of a sport that almost never gives you any "patriotic" joy )... waiting for Frank Chamizo tomorrow to put Italy on the map...

well, they are regular host for Baseball events (World Baseball Classic, World Cup, the old Intercontinental Cup, Youth World Champs) and for the Volleyball Grand Prix (not the finals, though)... and recently they hosted Junior and Youth World Champs in Women's Boxing... but I guess you're right when you write about politics keeping bigger events far away from the Island...

Champions Hockey League 2017/2018 Yesterday's Results http://www.championshockeyleague.com/en/schedule#select_schedule=0 and Today's Schedule Grizzlys Wolfsburg vs. HC05 Banská Bystrica Eis Arena Wolfsburg, Group A (18:00) Slovakia's Champions HC05 Banská Bystrica make their Champions Hockey League debut in Wolfsburg, who finished as runners up in last year's DEL play-offs. On paper, Group A is one of the more open to call, making this already a crunch game for the race to finish in the Top Two. Oceláři Třinec vs. Esbjerg Energy Werk Arena, Group D (18:00) Trinec have never made it to the Round of 16 in the CHL, and their quest to do so this season starts with a tricky game against Danish Champions Esbjerg. While many might predict the Energy to finish last in the group, last year's OT win over IFK Helsinki should be a warning to anyone that would take them lightly. Neman Grodno vs. Vienna Capitals Grodno Ice Sports Palace, Group C (18:00) Although Grodno have taken part in the CHL before, it's somewhat 'into the unknown' for Vienna taking on the Belarussian champions. JYP Jyväskylä vs. EV Zug LähiTapiola Areena, Group C (18:00) Both JYP and Zug have made the CHL play-offs in each of their four seasons taking part, making these two the favourites to advance. The game also see Jarko Immonen face his old team having moved back to JYP over the summer. Red Bull Munich vs. Comarch Cracovia Olympia-Eisstadion, Group G (19:00) Cracovia made a big impression in last year's CHL with their strong fan base, and they're expected to have strong support today as the team head to Munich. The German Champions have set winning the CHL as a target for this season, so will not be in the mood to drop any points. Red Bull Salzburg vs. Tappara Tampere Eisarena Salzburg, Group A (19:00) Salzburg entertain Liiga Champions Tappara in a game that both will target to win if they want to advance from Group A. Neither side has set European hockey alight in recent seasons, and both are aiming to do better this time aorund. Brynäs IF vs. IFK Helsinki Gavlerinken Arena, Group G (19:00) CHL hockey arrives in Gavle, and Brynäs couldn't have asked for a much better fixture as they welcome IFK Helsinki to town. The Finns and their hosts will be favourites to advance from the group, but for the home side it will be a good early test of where they sit alongside some of Europe's best.

Champions Hockey League 2017/2018 starts Today It's finally time – dust off those jerseys, get your scarves, and put on your lucky sweater because hockey is back! The Champions Hockey League returns for the 2017/18 season with nine games on opening day. Here's what's coming up today: Bílí Tygři Liberec vs. Växjö Lakers Group E, Home Credit Arena (17:00) The Czech regular season winners meet last year's CHL Semi-Finalists. Mountfield HK vs. TPS Turku Group F, Arena Hradec Kralove (17:00) Mountfield HK, who made the Czech Extraliga Semi-Finals, take on the Finnish side who almost got to the same stage in last year's Liiga. KalPa Kuopio vs. Malmö Redhawks Group B, Niiralan Monttu (18:00) A Nordic derby sees Liiga finalists KalPa host Malmö, who are making their CHL debut. Frölunda Indians vs. ZSC Lions Zurich Group H, Frölundaborg (18:30) For opening day, fans couldn't have asked for a more mouth-watering matchup. The back-to-back CHL champions host the Swiss team that won the first Champions Hockey League back in 2009, at the venue of last year's Final. HV71 Jönköping vs. Adler Mannheim Group D, Kinnarps Arena (18:30) Swedish champions HV71, who were eliminated last season by eventual finalists Sparta Prague, take on the DEL club that is looking to finally go further in the Champions Hockey League. Stavanger Oilers vs. Kometa Brno Group B, DNB Arena (19:30) Stavanger have been a fixture of the CHL since the first season in 2014, and have caused some upsets along the way. Today they meet a team making its debut in the competition – Czech Extraliga champions Kometa Brno. SC Bern vs. Nottingham Panthers Group F, PostFinance Arena (19:45) SC Bern were dominant in Switzerland last year and got to the CHL Quarter-Finals before being knocked out in Prague. Aiming to go further this year, they begin their Group Stage schedule with a home tie against the Continental Cup winners from Nottingham. HC Davos vs. Cardiff Devils Group E, Vaillant Arena (19:45) Could CHL debutants Cardiff have asked for a more stunning fixture on opening day? The Devils visit the Swiss mountains to face Davos – CHL Semi-Finalists two seasons ago, and who are aiming to go far this time around again. Gap Rapaces vs. KAC Klagenfurt Group H, Alps Arena (20:30) If either Gap or the KAC want to qualify for the next round, then they need to start here. The teams meet in the Alps with both sides aiming for a win.

great news! I read it this morning on Sport1/2 website (I check their schedule quite regularly)... however, yesterday I saw the season opener on a satellite feed (with Russian commentary...which is more or less the same as Slovakian for me...I understand just names and numbers...and not always )... not a great game, to be honest...the hype was a lot higher than the actual show on the ice...SKA was too strong and CSKA didn't even tried that hard to stop them... now I'm on an other sat feed with Dinamo Riga playing in Omsk...it was close until a few moments ago, but then Avangard scored 3 goals early into the 3rd period, which should seal the victory for them (game's almost over)... I hope to find at least 1 more sat feed later (normally there are more feeds of the games starting at 7.30 p.m. Moscow time...early games are rare exceptions...I don't know why?)... in any case, I'm very happy for Sport 1/2 getting back to the usual business...

Greco-Roman Wrestling, -59Kg Semifinals: Kenichiro Fumita (JPN) b. Kanibek Zholchubekov (KGZ) Mirambek Ainagulov (KAZ) b. Seung Hak Kim (KOR) Greco-Roman Wrestling, -66Kg Semifinals: Han Su Ryu (KOR) b. Artem Surkov (RUS) Mateusz Lucjan Bernatek (POL) b. Mohammad Hossein Elyasi (IRI) Greco-Roman Wrestling, -80Kg Semifinals: Radzik Kuliyeu (BLR) b. Elvin Mursaliyev (AZE) Maksim Manukyan (ARM) b. Zurabi Datunashvili (GEO) Greco-Roman Wrestling, -130Kg Semifinals: Riza Kayaalp (TUR) b. Oscar Pino Hinds (CUB) Heiki Nabi (EST) b. Yasmani Acosta Fernadez (CHI)

no idea of what's gonna happen... I only read their schedule and found out that they (Paris Premiere) should go live for many hours a day... however, not good news if they're not so reliable... the Equidia channels are only available to subscribers...no chance for satellite explorers (let's name them so)... however, those kind of events always have the satellite feed available... having a pure TV channel broadcasting an event is just more comfortable, but feedhunting always gives fans a chance...

Russia and Germany were the main prtagonists in the first day of the Greco-Roman events with 2 finalists each... Aleksanyan, though, was just amazing...surely the most impressive wrestler seen this morning/afternoon...

Greco-Roman Wrestling, -98Kg Semifinals: Artur Aleksanyan (ARM) b. Rustam Assakaolv (UZB) Musa Evloev (RUS) b. Dmitriy Timchenko (UKR)

Greco-Roman Wrestling, -75Kg Semifinals: Viktor Nemes (SRB) b. Kazbek Kilou (BLR) Aleksandr Chekhirkin (RUS) b. Tamas Lorincz (HUN)

Greco-Roman Wrestling, -85Kg Semifinals: Denis Kudla (GER) b. Hossein Ahmad Nouri (IRI) Metehan Basar (TUR) b. Davit Chakvetadze (RUS)

Greco-Roman Wrestling, -71Kg Semifinals: Frank Staebler (GER) b. Daniel Cataraga (MDA) Demeu Zhadrayev (KAZ) b. Balint Korpasi (HUN)

French Tv channel Paris Premiere will cover almost every second of action... this channel is available for free on satellite (@ 5° West) for those who have a STB which can tune the socalled Multistream Channels (basically the newest models of linux-based STBs)...

yes, I know the most recent development in the German saga about the OG on Tv...

Doping kills... Bulgarian weightlifter Velichko Cholakov passed away at the age of just 35 R.I.P. http://www.novinite.com/articles/182456/Olympic+Medalist+Velichko+Cholakov+Passed+Away
