Day4: Doubles, today i play with the only person who managed to drag me to a medal in the championships ever. (2years ago) Hope he done his leg workouts so he can carry me again 😂. We won our group this morning. The first game we turned a 2-10 to 13-10. Opponents played really well + had the luck with them. But we never gave up 🤘. My personal game felt good. Smooth shooting and a couple of carreaues. No stress in my brain. 15 min ago we won one more game and advanced to round of 32. But think we have to wait several hours until next game. Now ill hope to keep the quiet mind rest of the day 😊

Aaaaand im out again 😥. Unfortunately we got a piste that is more luck than skill. Totally covered with rocks and no landingspots. Just throw and pray to god. And in this game the lord listen more to the other team 😂😥. One game is to short time to even out the luck, so not much to do. BUT, im still happy about my mental game, relaxed and calm. Dared to throw my boules in the right way without thinking about the outcome. I think that is a win in itself, but i wish i could get a medal to prove it 😂.

Last year at the Swedish championships in the singles. I met a guy who had extreme luck. We played on a hard piste that had very big rocks on it and it tilted much to the side. I was down 6-12 and had mentally already packed my bags. My opponent had problems with the heat and his grip on the boule. So when he tried to shoot, he dropped his boules like 2m in front him and still it wobbeled and bounced and stopped on the coch. So sick, i think it happened 3-4 times. So i mentally packed my bags, when my teammates came to watch, and forced me to just to keep going. I managed al tho i was angry and tilted to fight back to 11-12. Then in the last round it happens again. I throw the coch at 9m and point my first boule at 20cm straight to the right of it. My opponent point his first boule 25cm in front of the coch. Seccond boule he miss a shot. Third boule he try a hard semiLob to either push his own boule or push my boule away, BUT, again he dropped his boule at 2m it wobbles back and forth and when it reaches his own boule (now at a high speed) it hits a rock jumps up a bit and only hit the top of his first pointed boule which rolls forward and ends up on my boule next to it on point. Now he have 13 points on the field. Guess if i was annoyed 😂😂. but luckily i managed to shoot the boule without hitting my own and then point to win. So never give up 😂 Next game i won 13-12 and game after 12-13. So hard long games in the heat.

@Susan Parr wow, fantastic 😍👍

Im not able to attend the meeting on monday. But i will watch it later 👍

@Stephen Daykin I think this is sportsbetting, not dividing the winnings. I read something about 9people involved, including some girlfriend of player that made big bet against team Rocher. And then they lost with big numbers. Just hope they get a fair trial, this stuff is not good for the sport.

Well this is no new stuff, i heard this happened long time ago to. Mafia putting pressure on players when they bet on games. Scary stuff.

And one other thing, when situations like this occur, i really try to highlight it just to understand what and why this is happening. I just dont think ive found a ”fast medicine ” i can use/apply then im on the piste. Yet 😊

@Stephen Daykin perfect 👍
