When you look at the results list from Rio and now in Tokyo, are you very satisfied?

I am. I started the last lap well on Saturday and believed that I could still jump by the standings. But that’s probably how it should be. I put everything into the tournament. I was fine. I’m definitely proud of myself.

This year, you only played better at the tournament in Hawaii, where you finished twelfth on the LPGA Tour. So you hid one of your best golfers for the Olympics?

It was one of the best performances on my part in Hawaii. I’m happy for the result here. This is how I would like to play every week.

The Japanese attacked, but Kordová did not allow herself to take the triumph, Spilková remained in the third ten

Are the performances from the Olympic tournament an encouragement for the next part of the season?

Certainly. It’s a journey. At the LET circuit, I also basically started to prosper after four years. I don’t have a rocket launch, but I need to get used to it a bit. America is a completely new experience for me, now I finally feel more at home there. It took a while. We’ll see what comes, but I’m really happy with the result from Tokyo.

Was it known that you played at the Olympics for the second time and did it better?

Definitely yes. In Rio, I didn’t know what awaited me. I never knew I would play the Olympics because there was no golf. As a little girl, I never dreamed of it like athletes. I definitely did better in Tokyo. I knew what awaited me at the second Olympics in my career. I was looking forward to a great atmosphere. I went to work out the tournament, but at the same time enjoy the Olympic village.

You’re in the same situation as tennis players, who are used to a certain comfort. You usually spend time in hotel resorts. What is life like for you in the Olympic Village?

Very nice. When I get back from the court, everyone knows how I played. I don’t normally do that in a tournament. I go to the room where I am alone. I like people and this suits me very well. When I got up at three in the morning on Saturday and set off in the direction of the field, the other athletes wished me good luck. It was incredibly encouraging, it gave me energy.

Will you be looking to take part in the games in Paris, which are already three years old?

I hope so. But I don’t want to push anywhere. I’ll take it year after year. When Paris comes out, I’ll be glad. Two Olympics are already great for me and if it was the third, I would take it to all ten. But I don’t know, my life is very open now.

So no extra motivation to try on the third attempt to win a position in the elite ten at the Olympic tournament?

If 23rd place from Tokyo were to remain the best result of my Olympic career and then I would be beaten by other girls who come after me, I would be very happy. I hope I’m leading a golf example and maybe they’ll beat me one day, because it’s really not easy at all. I am very proud of the result.

["content"]=> array(1) { ["encoded"]=> string(3431) "

Leo Windtner will no longer stand for the presidential election at the Ordinary General Meeting of the Austrian Football Association (ÖFB) on October 17th. He announced this on Friday at the request of the APA. He had also brought this to the attention of the chairman of the election committee, Wolfgang Bartosch, in a letter. He would be happy to initiate the desired generation change in the ÖFB presidium with his retirement.

Windtner has been leading by far the largest sports association in the state since February 2009. In March, the Upper Austrian announced that he would be available for another four years. Obviously, he did not find the necessary support in the election committee, which is almost identical to the ÖFB Presidium, and therefore withdrew his candidacy for the office of ÖFB President for the period 2021 to 2025, especially as this was only possible if it was broad Support from the ÖFB presidium had taken place, as the 70-year-old explained.

During Windtner’s tenure, the ÖFB men’s selection made it to two European championships (2016, 2021). The most recent European Championship made it into the round of 16 for the first time, where the eventual champion Italy only ended up in overtime. Other highlights were the ÖFB women’s EM semifinal participation in 2017, the first EM participation with the U21 two years ago and the successful qualification for the women’s EM 2022.

President Windtner with team principal Franco Foda – they will part ways in October

Fully involved until the end

In his last two months in office, he will continue the official business as usual until the Annual General Meeting and ensure that the office is handed over in an orderly manner, announced Windtner. The 71-year-old will still be part of the game at the World Cup qualifying away games against Moldova and Israel in September and against Denmark and the Faroe Islands in October.

The groundbreaking infrastructure project – the construction of a training center and an ÖFB headquarters in Vienna-Aspern – should nevertheless be developed further quickly. The talks with the federal government and the city of Vienna regarding the financing are said to be well advanced.

It still seems to be an open question who will be Windtner’s successor. The new President can, but does not have to, come from the Presidium. The ball now lies with the electoral committee, which has to decide on one person by the time the general assembly takes place.

These are decisive hours in terms of the market Juventus. The Juventus club wants to give Max Allegri an important reinforcement in midfield and the name at the top of the wish list is always that of Manuel Locatelli of Sassuolo. The negotiation progresses at a slow pace, but in the Juve house it continues to filter a cautious optimism for the successful conclusion of the deal. Sassuolo is only waiting for the right raise: with a satisfactory offer the neroverdi will let their midfielder leave. In the meantime, Juventus are keeping their alternatives open to protect themselves in the event that negotiations with Sassuolo are skipped. In addition to Pjanic (who could also come on loan from Barcelona), the new name is that of Aurélien Tchouaméni, 2000 class median owned by Monaco who last year was elected as the “Best young player of Ligue 1“.

Big and talents: the best players of Ligue 1

Class 2000, Aurélien Tchouaméni è one of the most interesting talents of the entire French football scene. Raised in the youth academy of Bordeaux, the Monaco bought it in January 2020 for 18 million euros. After a slow debut in the Principality, last season he made it protagonist of a great second half of the championship, in which it became indispensable for the balance of his team thanks to his work in midfield and also to his offensive thrust that it releases when you take some liberties. Complete midfielder, endowed with physical strength and a particular sense of goal matured in his youth: Tchouaméni in fact he was born as an attacker and despite having climbed a few meters, he often climbs ball and chain, or to detach in set pieces, taking advantage of his skills. Last Tuesday he scored a nice header in the Champions League preliminary between his Monaco and Sparta Prague (then won 2-0). In total, he already boasts more than 60 official Ligue 1 appearances despite his young age.

Randle renews with the Knicks while there are few big names to assign: Schroeder, Reggie Jackson, Markkanen and the eternal Iguodala

Leonard’s mystery deepens, meanwhile other excellent releases are placed: Williams in Atlanta and Oubre in Charlotte. The fourth day of free agency NBA is also marked by the long-term renewal of Randle with New York. Few are the names that make the news left to be assigned: Schroeder, Reggie Jackson, Markkanen, the eternal Iguodala. It remains to monitor in key any exchanges Ben Simmons, put on the market by Philadelphia with whom it seems at loggerheads: communications interrupted. If the 76ers lower their demands, he will soon find a new team.

LEONARD SILENCE

Kawhi still does not give news of himself. Of the 30-year-old winger, one of the best players in the world, we only know that he had an operation on his right knee and that he declined the option of renewal for a season with the Clippers. However, his future seems to be in Los Angeles, but time passes and nothing is moving yet, in that sense. Logic says he will probably be evaluating the renewal formula, perhaps guaranteeing a long-term one, as a guarantee, because returning from cruciate ligament surgery is never a walk in the park. But the Clippers see their market appeal limited by its inaction, in the meantime. They would have Reggie Jackson to try to renew, but without knowing the numbers of a possible Leonard extension it becomes complicated. Leonard could also move elsewhere, in theory. But there are no more teams that can afford his future wage space contract. Then, if anything, he could change his shirt via sign & trade, a renewal-exchange. In the case of Dallas and Philly they could be the names to bet on. But staying in the city of angels remains the most accredited hypothesis. With its times, however …

RANDLE RINNOVA

The big man from Kentucky extends his deal with the New York Knicks following his year as the league’s most improved player. $ 117 million four-year renewal. He dragged the Big Apple franchise to the playoffs, the first since 2013. That’s a lot of money for a player of almost 27 in his first big NBA season, without tangible proof, but the Knicks are aiming for continuity.

WILLIAMS AD ATLANTA

Lou Williams, 34, three times sixth man of the year, brings his smooth shot and silky moves from great scorer back to Atlanta, who grew up in Georgia. It will sign an annual renewal, at $ 5 million. It will probably be his last season in the NBA, in the recent past he had meditated on retirement. He was courted by the Lakers, Warriors and Bucks.

OUBRE A CHARLOTTE

25-year-old winger Kelly Oubre, formerly of Warriors, finds a new home in Charlotte. The Hornets bet heavily on him: 26 million for two seasons. Crystal clear talent, but with limits of maturity that have so far conditioned his NBA career after his experience in college at Kansas University.

BIRCH IN CANADA

The Khem Birch center returns to the Toronto Raptors: 3 years, $ 20 million in salary. Meanwhile, Masai Uiri, first executive of the Raptors, franchise reference since 2013, has seen his contract renewed and his offices increased, he is president. He had offers from other organizations, in the NBA, but also from other sports.

["content"]=> array(1) { ["encoded"]=> string(4875) "

Eighth gold for Italy at the Tokyo 2020 Games and fourth – absolute record – for athletics. Antonella Palmisano won the gold medal in the 20 km walk at the Tokyo 2020 Games on her thirtieth birthday. The Pugliese launched the decisive attack at the fifteenth kilometer, with a devastating change of pace and an action that bends the resistance of the three Chinese rivals Liu, Yang and Qieyang, very favored on the eve. In the end the champion from Mottola closes with a time of 1h29: 12 to the delight of her coach Patrizio Parcesepe who in turn signs the historic feat of two Olympic gold medals in two days (he is also the coach of Stano). Silver to Colombian Arenas (1h29: 37), bronze to Chinese Liu Hong (1h29: 57).

Italian athletics had never won four Olympic golds in the history of the Olympics: there were a maximum of three, in the Moscow 1980 and Los Angeles 1984 editions. The difficult climatic conditions due to heat and humidity influenced the start of the race, far from exaggerated: pace to say the least calm (average 4:40) in the first three kilometers, a first accelerated to 4:31 at the fourth kilometer and then the passage to the fifth at 23:04. Antonella Palmisano is always in front, marked by the Chinese Liu, Yang and Qieyang, the three obligatory favorites, essentially the podium of the last world championship in Doha. The world bronze of the 50 km of Doha 2019 Eleonora Giorgi instead proceeds more secluded, remedies a card, loses ground already after the first five kilometers: on the sixth, he raises the white flag for a few minutes, in tears. Then it starts again. With an already very large delay on all. Head held high Valentina Trapletti trying to resist at the bottom of the group of the strongest, made up of about twenty walkers. Halfway through the race Palmisano leads with 45:57, Trapletti 22nd (46:16)

With the success of Antonella Palmisano in the 20 km walk, the medal table of Italy in Tokyo 2020 has risen to 8 golds, 10 silvers and 18 bronzes. The medals are 36: equal to the records of Los Angeles 1932 and Rome 1960. The number of gold medals achieved at the Rio 2016 Olympics is also equal.

WHO IS ANTONELLA PALMISANO

Antonella Palmisano from volleyball to Olympic gold in the march to celebrate the birthday. The blue, who won the gold medal in the 20 km in Tokyo 2020, turns 30 today and celebrates in the best possible way. The Apulian athlete, born in the province of Taranto in 1991, played volleyball until 2003. Then, as FIDAL recalls, she was convinced to practice walking with a group of boys led in Mottola by the technician Tommaso Gentile. In his rich youth record shines the victory in the Junior World Cup – an unprecedented result for a blue – in Chihuahua in 2010.

Since 2012 she has moved to Rome under the guidance of Patrizio Parcesepe, technician of the Yellow Flames. She finished close to the podium in the 2015 Beijing World Championships (fifth) and then at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (fourth) despite a season conditioned by an injury to her right shin. In 2017 she set the national record in the 10,000 on track (41’57”29) and won the 20 km in the European Cup in Podebrady before the bronze at the London World Championships with 1h26: 36, second blue ever, improving by over a minute. Another bronze at the European Championships in Berlin, in 2018, before the wedding in September with Lorenzo Dessi, in turn blue specialist in heel and toe. In 2020 she became the Italian record holder in the 10 km road with 41:28 in Modena and in 2021 she conquered the success for the second time in the team European championships, again in Podebrady. Fun fact: compete with a colorful felt flower on your head, made by your mother. And today, as a birthday present, Olympic gold arrived.

Eighth gold for Italy at the Tokyo 2020 Games and fourth – absolute record – for athletics. Antonella Palmisano won the gold medal in the 20 km walk at the Tokyo 2020 Games on her thirtieth birthday. The Pugliese launched the decisive attack at the fifteenth kilometer, with a devastating change of pace and an action that bends the resistance of the three Chinese rivals Liu, Yang and Qieyang, very favored on the eve. In the end the champion from Mottola closes with a time of 1h29: 12 to the delight of her coach Patrizio Parcesepe who in turn signs the historic feat of two Olympic gold medals in two days (he is also the coach of Stano). Silver to Colombian Arenas (1h29: 37), bronze to Chinese Liu Hong (1h29: 57).

Italian athletics had never won four Olympic golds in the history of the Olympics: there were a maximum of three, in the Moscow 1980 and Los Angeles 1984 editions. The difficult climatic conditions due to heat and humidity influenced the start of the race, far from exaggerated: pace to say the least calm (average 4:40) in the first three kilometers, a first accelerated to 4:31 at the fourth kilometer and then the passage to the fifth at 23:04. Antonella Palmisano is always in front, marked by the Chinese Liu, Yang and Qieyang, the three obligatory favorites, essentially the podium of the last world championship in Doha. The world bronze of the 50 km of Doha 2019 Eleonora Giorgi instead proceeds more secluded, remedies a card, loses ground already after the first five kilometers: on the sixth, he raises the white flag for a few minutes, in tears. Then it starts again. With an already very large delay on all. Head held high Valentina Trapletti trying to resist at the bottom of the group of the strongest, made up of about twenty walkers. Halfway through the race Palmisano leads with 45:57, Trapletti 22nd (46:16)

With the success of Antonella Palmisano in the 20 km walk, the medal table of Italy in Tokyo 2020 has risen to 8 golds, 10 silvers and 18 bronzes. The medals are 36: equal to the records of Los Angeles 1932 and Rome 1960. The number of gold medals achieved at the Rio 2016 Olympics is also equal.

WHO IS ANTONELLA PALMISANO

Antonella Palmisano from volleyball to Olympic gold in the march to celebrate the birthday. The blue, who won the gold medal in the 20 km in Tokyo 2020, turns 30 today and celebrates in the best possible way. The Apulian athlete, born in the province of Taranto in 1991, played volleyball until 2003. Then, as FIDAL recalls, she was convinced to practice walking with a group of boys led in Mottola by the technician Tommaso Gentile. In his rich youth record shines the victory in the Junior World Cup – an unprecedented result for a blue – in Chihuahua in 2010.

Since 2012 she has moved to Rome under the guidance of Patrizio Parcesepe, technician of the Yellow Flames. She finished close to the podium in the 2015 Beijing World Championships (fifth) and then at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (fourth) despite a season conditioned by an injury to her right shin. In 2017 she set the national record in the 10,000 on track (41’57”29) and won the 20 km in the European Cup in Podebrady before the bronze at the London World Championships with 1h26: 36, second blue ever, improving by over a minute. Another bronze at the European Championships in Berlin, in 2018, before the wedding in September with Lorenzo Dessi, in turn blue specialist in heel and toe. In 2020 she became the Italian record holder in the 10 km road with 41:28 in Modena and in 2021 she conquered the success for the second time in the team European championships, again in Podebrady. Fun fact: compete with a colorful felt flower on your head, made by your mother. And today, as a birthday present, Olympic gold arrived.

Honestly, did you expect Margaret in Tokyo to take a medal?

If someone had said before the Olympics that he would be in the finals, we would definitely have taken it. The fact that Mr. Hřebec and I know her and how she can play and what she is capable of was not such a surprise for us.

So we can expect more great results on concrete across the ocean?

Margaret has a form. I see it in every workout. She can play by wondering why she’s not in the top 10? She sold what she could in Tokyo. But I think he can play even better. Markéta is a complex player, she moves well, she can defend and attack. It is about using this potential. It can certainly be much higher than it is now. And so does Mr. Stallion.

I was not far from Tokyo to go, this is a beautiful answer, says Vondroušová

The calendar is quite relentless. Can the mold be maintained for another two months?

It will be difficult. Montreal, Cincinnati, Chicago and the US Open. The program is demanding until the end of the year. The Indian Wells tournament, which has been postponed from March, is also scheduled to be played in October. Nothing simple.

Doesn’t your cooperation last as long as it baked?

Since we are from the same club, of course we knew each other. It was de facto ‘Blesk Action’, when Markéta offered me cooperation in an acute situation. I had to decide right away, so I didn’t hesitate. We were happy for the offer and I wanted to help Markéta. But it was out of nowhere.

How does the cooperation with Jiří Hřebec, who has been a consultant at Markéta for a long time, work?

Paradoxically, Mr. Hřebec coached me and Honza Hernych, who had been with Markéta as a coach before. It is often in training. It gives it peace and perspective. He’s cool and I think it helps Markéta a lot.

On the contrary, he described you as a coach who is ingrained in tennis by passing it on to others. It is so?

I’m a fanatic, a tennis jerk, to put it bluntly. I just live by it. When I played, it might have hurt me because I was so nervous that I didn’t have an overview. But I enjoy the job. I believe that I will help Markéta and bring that fanatical spirit into it. Although I don’t have to do so much, because Markéta has motivation.

Your ward is 17 years younger, what other common topics do you have?

Next … (laughs) Although it may sound weird, we talk a lot about tennis. Markéta finishes the match and then calmly plays three different grand slam matches on her laptop, iPad and phone and watches them all at once. Sometimes it may not look like it, but it’s really very passionate about it.

He is currently 42nd in the world. Have you set a ranking target where it should be by the end of the year?

Some players don’t even like it to get under pressure like this. But when he feels good in the game, the results will come by themselves.

Just a few hours before Lionel Messi announced his departure after 21 years at FC Barcelona, ​​the end of one of the most dazzling careers in world sport became known. MotoGP kicks off the post-Valentino Rossi era. But there was still a future for the Italian in MotoGP.

Rossi confirmed in Spielberg that there would have been the option to appear again as a driver in his own MotoGP team on a Ducati alongside his half-brother Luca Marini in 2022. A brand change was too risky for him for just one season.

I had an official offer from my own team, ”joked Rossi cheerfully after the announcement of his resignation. “It would have been fascinating, and we probably wouldn’t have had any problems with the fee negotiations,” added the nine-time world champion with a wink before taking stock.

“Great time with unforgettable moments”

After a quarter of a century in the World Championship saddle with the 115-time GP winner, it was almost entirely positive. “It was a great time with unforgettable moments”, said the 42-year-old and assured that his decision now feels “good”.

For the last time so far, the Yamaha rider finished third on the podium at Jerez in July 2020, and celebrated his last victory in Assen in 2017. “In every sport, the results are decisive in the end. In this respect, I think it is now the right step, ”said Rossi. “Unfortunately it will be my last half season. I want to try to get better results than before, ”said the WM-19.

Rossi’s heirs

MotoGP has long since rearranged itself in the years since Rossi’s last world championship title in 2009. Initially Jorge Lorenzo and then especially Marc Marquez took over the helm. The 28-year-old Marquez is now an eight-time world champion himself and has won 89 GPs. In 2015 Rossi missed his last big World Cup chance in a fight with Lorenzo.

Before the Styrian GP in Spielberg on Sunday, the entire scene bowed again to motorcycle icon Rossi. The current world champion is the Spaniard Joan Mir (Suzuki), in the World Championship Fabio Quartararo leads on a Yamaha. “He was twice world champion before I was born,” said Quartararo, who was born in 1999, bowing to Rossi.

“The Michael Jordan of the MotoGP”

“I’m sad that he won’t be there next year. I wanted to ride a motorcycle because of him, so I checked him several times for autographs, ”reported the Frenchman. “He is the legend of the sport and has had a great career. It is indescribable what it means to me. “

World champion Mir expressed himself similarly. “I feel privileged that I was allowed to race against him. For me he is the Michael Jordan of MotoGP. It will be difficult to find a Valentino Rossi again. ”The current World Championship runner-up Johann Zarco (Ducati) said:“ Vale has changed racing since the 2000s. If someone had nothing to do with MotoGP, say their name and everyone knew. There are few comparable people in sport. “

Just a few hours before Lionel Messi announced his departure after 21 years at FC Barcelona, ​​the end of one of the most dazzling careers in world sport became known. MotoGP kicks off the post-Valentino Rossi era. But there was still a future for the Italian in MotoGP.

Rossi confirmed in Spielberg that there would have been the option to appear again as a driver in his own MotoGP team on a Ducati alongside his half-brother Luca Marini in 2022. A brand change was too risky for him for just one season.

Valentino Rossi deserves something more one of those slightly rhetorical graces that we all throw away when a great champion retires. At least it deserves that thanks be motivated and go beyond simple hours of sporting leisure provided, in a great way, for twenty-five years. It is more his way of being in the world than his way of running to inspire gratitude. And to have even inspired the excesses of a boundless supporters that motorcycles had never known.

The road

Without knowing it, Rossi indicated a way, offering himself as very rare case of a talented and knotless champion, without boulders, dark areas, cumbersome problems, defects of the past. If there are, they do not emerge, on the contrary, if there are, it sweeps them away. He has put people like him around him – as happened to Simoncelli too – to generate a soft climate in which to be. The Italians and the world in Rossi have always seen this: curtains and joy in a dangerous sport, lightness and spirit in an epic context of fearless knights, where fear actually exists. He has experienced outspoken rivalries and pushed them to the limit, to assert the law of the strongest even in the head. But without taking home the grudges of work. Because home is sacred, friends are sacred. Then you can live well! Then we can not carry around problems! So watching him move like this was more fun than normal.

The effort

It was not trivial to last twenty-six years, including decline. It has always involved a constant effort and for this reason exemplary; that effort that puts you right with your conscience and that it makes even defeat seem like a victory. He doesn’t stop being a pilot, he just changes the way he is. For this we think that he will not suffer withdrawal like others. Serene. All time. Valentino Rossi.
