Men's SF
 Valladont 2-6  Habjan
 Addis 1-7  Gazoz
 
Women's SF
 Bauer 6-4  Barbelin
 Andreoli 0-6  Canalis
 
Habjan do an amazing European Championship and qualify for the final!
Bauer and Gazoz are the cleary favourite for the gold 

I would change Serbia with Australia, but in general an amazing show!!
 
Now the darkest semifinal and moment in the history of eurovision (like the Bosnian jury calling from a bunker in the 90') 
 
I do hope that Israel won't qualify, they are not a peaceful country and they don't deserve to enjoy this type of shallow activities. 
 
 
Probably the EBU will use fake applause so the show will look very amateur, so sad

Borussia Dortmund   won also the second leg 1-0 in Paris and back in Final after 11 years.
 
Dortmund have made it to the  UCL final for the third time, after winning the competition in 1997 and finishing as runners-up in 2013 (at Wembley).

You have one, competing for Cyprus.
 
It's more the reward for how stupid and ignorant the British sport system is in regards to funding in sports where results are highly variable, i clearly remember they cut fencing funding to zero because Kruse lost the bronze medal bout in 2016 (while they had 1 medal target), until he won a WCh medal in 2018 or something. Zero funding despite having one of the best in the world in his weapon for a few years, no wonder you lost some potential.

Finally discus throw world record belongs to one of Alekna's! If it's not for doped Schult, Virgilijus would had  WR for last 20 years, but I'm glad his son finally will remove Schult out of record books and keep it in the family 

ok and ? Schult threw in a tornado.

Qualified Olympic Games

And the final tomorrow Saturday is:
 
Canjura vs. Cordon
 
For the first time two Central American countries will qualify for the Olympic Games: El Salvador  and Guatemala 

1st Leg of Quarterfinals 

Easy win for Hungary as expected, but I felt we gave a decent account of ourselves. A lot of work needs doing though, as we missed quite a few clear cut chances due to our throws being too weak.
