Not just the prelims, today he threw away a super easy individual medal (by just not continuing after he fell, otherwise he'd have picked up an easy bronze), and then threw away the relay gold for his team...
 
We'll definitely see more of him of course though, he is growing every season.

Everything ready for the Slovak Winter Classic. @phelps
 
Slovan Bratislava vs HC Košice in Bratislava National Football Stadium
 
Some pics from Yesterday´s pre-game between Zvolen and Dukla Trenčin. Trenčin as a military club with some military-fashion coach
 

 

 

 
and Friday´s opening game from Czech league Třinec-Brno
 

 

 

 
 

just into the new year, it's already time for the 1st World Cup stage of 2023.
 
in this case, it's up to the Shotgun specialists in  Rabat.

first to start, the Skeet competitions (both, men and women).
 
after Day #1,
 
in the men's Skeet there are 4 guys sharing the lead with a clean 50/50 ( Azmy Mehelba,  Efthimios Mitas,  Jorgen Engen,  Nikolaos Mavrommatis).
 
7 more shooters follow with 49/50 and then, 10 shooters scored 48/50.
 
in total, there are 70 competitors.
 
in the women's Skeet,  Zhoya Kravchenko and  Dania Jo Vizzi share the lead with 49/50.
 
 Adel Sadakbayeva is alone in 3rd place with 48/50.
 
3 more shooters follow with 47/50 and 5 have a score of 46/50.
 
in total, there are 35 competitors (+ 1 DNS, I don't know why?).

after Day #2,
 
in the men's Skeet (70 starters),  Azmy Mehelba is leading the pack with a clean 100/100, ahead of   Nikolaos Mavrommatis with 99/100.
 
4 more shooters follow with 98/100 and 10 shooters scored 97/100.
 
in the women's Skeet (35 starters),  Reem Al Sharshani is the new leader with 96/100, followed by a small group of 5 shooters with a score of 95/100.

yeah, but with the new qualification rules for Paris 2024, the World Cup isn't really so competitive as it was before.
 
many big names are missing and also those who are in Rabat, they're not in very good shape yet (it's so early in the season).
 
everything was definitely more interesting when direct Olympic Quota Places were up for grabs in any WC stage.
 
p.s. Mehelba however looks in great shape...hope he can keep it through the whole season...

just my 2 cents...
 
we should try to make the new number to be guessed a bit more evident (bigger size of the font, maybe even in bold).
 
it's my proposal from now on for all those who are going to post their "challenge".

And that is correct of course! You've got to get some of the easy ones out of the way before we're climbing the Kilimanjaro again

Good idea, I changed it in my post!

we gave the same answer basically at the same time...

I asked ChatGPT (the infamous AI that's been all over the internet recently) if an athlete can realistically combine singles and doubles luge, to see what it comes up with
 
Who knew that doubles luge is an event where the athletes lie on their stomachs, I want to watch that. Doubles skeleton!
