Indeed, Japan used to have quite strong team around Nagano games. That Harada flop in the normal hill 2nd round is still one of the saddest moment in this sport I remember even being kid at that time, I have this moment still glued in my memory.

Ryoyu Kobayashi thanks his todays 5th place wrote the history of his country, he became the first ever male ski jumping World Cup overall winner. Really surprising to see that any his countrymen did it before, the NR was until this season the 2nd overall place of Kazuyoshi Funaki in 1998 season

I guess it´s nothing unusual then, perhaps still Juniors tactical thinking I guess

Yes, I can not say that I am happy with the way our wrestling federation chosed to go, but I can understand them, if they want some funds there no other posibilties to do. Actually if you take a look on our NT you´ll sadly hardly find any Slovak name. the most alarming fact is that it´s clearly visible also in our juniors teams, actually our U23 and juniors are almost entirely based on former Russian guys like Taimuraz Salkazanov U23 reigning world champion, Georgi Nagoev or for example this guy Akhsarbek Gulaev, the same in the senior team around Boris Makoev former world champion silver medalist or former Ukrainian Mykola Bolotnyuk...and if not from ex-USSR we used to field former Hungarians like the former GR european champion István Levai (currently still suspended for doping).. They started to do so before Beijing 2008 when they "employed" David Musulbes who then won there for our wrestling first medal since 1988 (Jozef Lohyňa) if I´m not wrong, since they gained alot of attention and money for that medal, they decided to move this Russian shopping way

lol the guy almost lost a 9-0 lead after 1st half, but that funny "bunny hop" maneuver at 7:56 saved him

So happy for Juraj Sanitra, he needed so much such result

World Championship sprint silver in Ski Mountaineering for

Ice Hockey Challenge Cup of Asia 2019 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mongolia repeats Mongolia defended its IIHF Ice Hockey Challenge Cup of Asia title after a 6-3 victory over the Philippines in the tournament final in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The Philippines had caused an upset in the group stage, defeating Mongolia by the same 6-3 scoreline and threatened a repeat in the final when it battled back from 0-3 down to tie the game before losing out in the third period. A hat trick from Bayarsaikhan Jargalsaikhan led Mongolia’s scoring, Gerelt Ider picked up 1+1 to finish as the tournament’s top scorer on 17 (11+6) points from five games. Ider was part of the Mongolian roster that won in 2018 but injury forced him out of the decisive 5-1 victory over Thailand that saw his country claim gold in a round robin format. “I was really determined to come back, play to the end and get the medal,” he said after the game. “It’s a very good feeling because I’m here to represent my country. It was a really good game and I’m so happy to defend our title.” That title defence got off to an assured start with Mongolia jumping into an early lead. Jargalsaikhan opened the scoring in the eighth minute after a solo rush from #22 opened up the Filipino defence. Just 30 seconds later, Mongolia had a second: Erdenesekh Bold took the puck out of the corner, fed it to Enkhsukh Erdenetogtokh at the point and moved to the slot to convert the rebound from the defenceman’s shot. Ider made it 3-0 late in the opening frame with a one-timer from in front of Paolo Spafford’s net off a Jargalsaikhan feed. But the Philippines hit back. Julius Santiago’s 22nd-minute effort was the only marker in the second period; two goals in a minute at the start of the third tied the game up at 3-3. First, Carl Montano’s pass from behind the net was gobbled up by Jose Cadiz, then Jan Regencia stuffed home the rebound from a Benjamin Imperial shot. Montano and Regencia both had previous against this opponent, having scored two apiece in the group game; now they had thrown the final wide open once again. However, as Ider explained, this Mongolian team never lacks for character. “The Philippines are a really good team, they played well throughout the competition,” he said. “But we play as one. Everyone works together, everyone wants to accomplish more. We love each other and when we come to a tournament we play as one man.” Within a minute, Jargalsaikhan had restored Mongolia’s lead; 63 seconds later Ider set up Erdenesukh Bold to make it 5-3 and with 10 minutes to play Jargalsaikhan completed his treble to put the game beyond the Philippines’ reach. Earlier on Saturday, the host nation took on Singapore in the bronze medal game. However, the home team was unable to finish with a medal thanks to a fine goaltending performance from Kenny Liang. He made 23 saves to claim a shut-out as Singapore skated to a 4-0 win. James Kodrowski scored twice, Bryan Lee had a goal and two assists, Jiaju Ryan Tan was the other goalscorer. The tournament format saw four teams – Mongolia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore – contest the Elite group with three others playing in Division 1. After a round robin with each team meeting twice, Indonesia came out on top ahead of Macau and these teams progressed to the quarter-finals against the two lowest-ranked Group A nations. Oman finished third in a tight group; the Middle Eastern nation’s competitiveness was emphasized by a goal differential of -1 despite three losses in four games. Singapore and Malaysia overcame Indonesia and Macau respectively in the quarter-finals, but neither could progress through the semis. The Philippines beat Singapore 6-1 before Mongolia downed the hosts 12-6 to set up Saturday’s medal games. The individual honours saw Mongolia’s Ider crowned leading scorer, although Malaysia’s Brandon Tan tied him on 17 points. Ider got the verdict due to scoring more goals. John Steven Fuglister of the Philippines was third with 15 (7+8) points. The Philippines also had the most effective goalie of the competition; Spafford stopped 91.2% of the shots he faced, a fraction better than Oman’s Mohamed al Balushi on 91.16%. Spafford was selected as the tournament’s top goalie, Tan was the best forward and Fuglister earned the MVP award. Batgerel Zorigt of Mongolia was the rated the leading defenceman. Full Results HERE
