Ieva Adomaviciute of Lithuania has been suspended for anti-doping violations. She will miss the Tokyo Olympics.

 

She won gold in the women's double sculls at the 2018 World Championships.

 

I guess Lithuania keeps their quota place?

Just caught up. Two great races, not the processions we sometimes get. Incidentally, all that land there is polder - the  town of Ely was an island & all the rest was dangerous malarial swamp until the mid 19th century.

Donata Karaliūnaitė, the athlete that won the Olympic medal together with Milda Valčiukaitė has come back from retirement.

 

Valčiukaitė was recently injured, but recovering well and it was said that Karaliūnaitė is starting to look even better than before, so safe to say that Lithuania is still going to be a threat in the women's double sculls.

If Ieva didn't get suspended, would Donata have competed in the single sculls instead?

I think her comeback might've been inspired by the fact that the federation knew that Ieva wouldn't be let off the hook, even if the prohibited substance was consumed accidentally, so they organised a plan B since there was already an Olympic quota. 

 

But that's just my take

    • That's great, congratulations to both of you! I wish her a good recovery. 
    • This is not a full retirement, but kind of a break/sabbatical due to...reasons.    For those who have been following @brunamoura's journey towards and last February eventually, finally, at the Olympics, this might be an interesting update. The 2030 Olympics are still in her sight, but next year's world championships in February seem...unlikely.   She still needs to do at least two surgeries, one on her nasal cavities due to a chronic inflammation that has been bothering her for years, and one on her legs. In the Olympic season she struggled immensely with pain in her legs, which in the freestyle technique made her sometimes just not even able to move and therefore finish or even start the races. The Olympic 10k freestyle was hard and painful, but she managed to get through it. We knew she was dealing with compartment syndrome, which is quite serious and certainly needs to be dealt with surgically, but the recovery time for that meant that doing so during the season would likely jeopardize the Olympics - again.   The plan was to do the surgeries this year, but that's unlikely to happen now...    
    • My admittedly tiny sample at least made it feel like the safest and nicest place     Milan....I was very glad to be out of there, Bologna almost felt even worse, and I was also happy to leave Trento behind after barely a day there   Livigno didn't feel bad like that, the issue there is that Livigno people seem to believe the world outside of Livigno doesn't really exist.   Every time I have been in South Tyrol though, it always just felt...lovely, cozy, nice, friendly, and so on.   But obviously that is all a matter of opinion. Besides that I mostly went on statistics and Alto Adige generally scoring very high in things like quality of life and low crime rates  
    • Very interesting Article, not a lot of vast shocks in it, but great that she's found some happiness. She switched allegiance to Ireland from the US quietly a few years back, but I'd say the odds on her acting on it are pretty long - still, it maybe feels like a little statement of emancipation to herself, in which case, good on her.

    • Had a very strange career. Absolutely looked like the Crown Prince when Bolt was King, but after Bolt retired his only medals were in relays, nothing at all solo.  Drug rumours did not help.
