Amy Baserga – Mentalität einer Championesse?
Amy Baserga hat als Schlussläuferin der Schweizer Biathlon-Mixed-Staffel ein starkes Rennen geliefert. So stark, dass ich mich frag, ob sie die Mentalität einer Championesse hat.
Baller League ahead
I am looking forward towards the Baller League - more than towards African-, Asian, or European Championships.
About each hundredths
Tension in the fight about each hundredth. One winner one or more on the loosing side within the blink of an eye.
Towards the finishing line
But by far not the end of the emotions.
Netherlands was in fight with USA in the mixed 4x400 meters relay race. On the last 100 meters the other female Netherlands super star in the lead. Femke Bol against Alicia Holmes who comes closer on the last 50 meters. Holmes closes the gap and Bol fights back.
Shocker number two. I could not believe it and was so sorry as again Netherlands felt down, whilst going for gold or at least silver. Holmes got it home in world records time and the US won the race.
Femke Bol stood up again and tried to gain at least what was still possible. She crossed the finishing line as third, but as she lost the baton, the Netherlands were ranked as: ‘Did not finish’.
No god – no silver which was kind of secured. No medal for Netherlands at all at that first day of the athletic championship in Budapest.
I hoped for both: Sifan Hassan and Femke Bol they would have great comebacks in the upcoming days. And both did and won medals. And I was happy for them, looking forward to see them compete in Paris 2024 at the Olympic games.
Femke Bol rappelt sich nochmals auf und versucht zumindest noch zu retten was zu retten ist. Sie kommt doch noch als dritte über die Ziellinie. Doch der Staffelstab ist nicht in der Hand und das bedeutet am Ende leider: 'Did not finish'.
Hopes and fear at heptathlon and decathlon
Heptathlon and decathlon are disciplines with hope for personal bests in each one but there is high risk for injury too.
Nice, celebration of great results behind the medals
Is it not wonderful if athletes celebrate their performance even if they are out of medals? So it happened at the place of heroes in Budapest!
Penalty; 19 seconds of uncertainty
A hobby goalkeeper emotionally attached when a deciding penalty is given a goal. Disillusions and emptiness are taking over.
364 days till Paris
One year to go. Sounds it is to early to become nervous. However, several athletes already have to give there best now to qualify for next year’s event.
If you don't expect a throw
Each of us throw the baseball into the more or less expected range. The stronger ones made more distance as the weaker but nothing to outstanding at first.
