What's the location?
Not posting the location of my secret powder stash on here! Would be tracked out before you know it!
- Good point on Russia needing to develop its sport equipment industry. Or maybe work with China. Or just import from China. Lol.
- Russia will probably have to Look East more now that it is getting shunned by Europe. Eg Russian Chess Federation was forced out of European Chess Federation and has joined Asian Chess Federation
Update on FINA world swimming championship in Budapest
Good and not so good news regarding chinese team
In absence of Russia, chinese artistic swimming team dominated with 4 golds already. Very successful outing.
In regular swimming, lack lustre showing. Most of Olympic champions are in poor form. Stars like Wang shun, Xu jiayu performed poorly probably due to disruption in training. But zhang Yufei had 3 bronzes.
Worryingly lack of young promising swimmers emerging. Except Yang gold 200m free womens and Pan 4th place 100m men's free. Alot of room to improve.
In diving it's looking like China is again crushing 1the competition. Should be close to a sweep of events. And matter of which of the Chinese diver will win and not which country diver.
Chen yuxi surprisingly got gold in 10m platform over Quan, the young diving phenom who became a star after Tokyo Olympics. They were separated by less than a point though.

You can't do this man, you're eating the lunch of the former World No 2!
Maybe he is the Jos Verstappen of China and he will mentor the next generation to produce the Max Verstappen of China.
