c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'! you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics

Super Round Results 21/11 b. 2-0 b. 9-1 22/11 b. 8-2 b. 9-6 nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees facing the at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and facing at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET) the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local

very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup) Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers' Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC) there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)

the next few days for me: it's the final weekend of the Premier 12 Baseball, then Wintersports and some Hockey here and there...

sorry for being so late...but still...happy birthday to you!

don't be disappointed...this is the team and it won't change our perspective Bagnis is (very) good only in Skt. Moritz and Margaglio is always herself, she just can't drive, she's only good at the start and after the first curve she's already gone no way she gets a medal (and not even a good placing) when it really matters, not even at home we can only hope that Bagnis finds the feeling with the Cortina track like in SKTM, and it's all but easy

nice (curious) description of what happened

no, since Vlhova is still out, there were 2 girls tied for 7th in the start list, so the first group was expanded to 8 just for Today (and Miki was "unlucky" and grabbed the bib no.8)

this week it's all about Hockey (NHL, CHL and domestic leagues all around Europe) and Baseball (Premier 12) with a bit of Winter sports and Swimming (Italian Short Course Winter Nationals) on the weekend

"only" a silver and a bronze medal for in Today's team events still, a very good start of the season for us (at least, where possible...the women's sabre is just a lost cause), given that we have (even too much) rejuvenated teams in all the weapons, except for Foil
