I will summarise this topic for everyone: My country sucks at this sport or i have no interest in it -> remove said sport from the Olympics My country is good at this sport or i have interest in it -> expand this sport into more categories and athletes/matches /thread

Letting host nation adding sports is a stupid idea, I understand if it happens in Universiade or some continental Games to make the host nation happy, but Olympics is bigger than this.

i think bestmen is doped , he was always in last places in other contests congratulations @bestmen @pabloffo and @OlympicIRL

Znam, čuo sam i ja - to ti je onaj tamo s bradom

Čovjek ispriča da su košarkašice zadnji put uzele medalju 1988. godine i pita je kakav je osjećaj sad to uraditi

Kakav je osećaj osvojiti olimpijsku medalju za Srbiju u košarci nakon 28 godina i kako je bilo igrati meč za bronzu

Znaci Davor ne ide u penziju

Nisam. To je Srbin koji je kupio zastavu u Grckoj. Pitao ga ja prosli put na doceku.

Ja ne mogu da izdvojim ni jednu medalju, ne mogu da se odlucim Mislim da uvek treba da se napomene pod kolikim pritiskom su kosarkasi i Sale osvojili medalju, prvo onolike povrede i odustajanja, pa napadanje Saleta sa svih strana ali sve su pregurali Takodje na EOI nam je krenulo sa Viktorovom medaljom a ovde sa Davorovom, rvanje nam je amajlija

To može samo Zoki!

Mislim da je tada i nastao nadimak Zoki Svemogući

Ah, neće biti isto bez teta Jece Jeste bila lošija poslednje dve sezone, ali je uradila mnogo za naš tim i zaslužila ovaj bonus poziv i medalju sa OI Što se Maje tiče, nadam se da će i ona da se povuče, Tokio neće dočekati, a potreban nam je dobar dizač - npr. Mirković, pokazala se vrlo dobro na EG

Amen.

I was invited to a Radio to talk about the olympics (thanks for the forum to increase my Knowledge) and the other guest was........the brother of Emmanuel Ginobili (its not my best picture, i know)

With IOC allowing a whole bunch of sports to be added in 2020, the thought of removing sports is plain silly to me. And I don't see the point in saying that sport should be out because someone doesn't like, doesn't understand or doesn't follow it (or even because their nations are not good at it!). Olympics are not made for one person's liking, there's something for everyone.

And every suggestion that talks about adding a mixed event in any sport automatically has my disapproval No added value.

Exactly. I was cheering again for our team after a long time in which players didn't fight at all (in London 2012 I wasn't, for example. I was very sad Bulgaria lost the bronze to Italy, I admit it). But these guys are finally fighting again as a team is supposed to, showing they want to give all they have to win, and they made me very proud despite the "loss" of the gold (we won a beautiful silver imo, and nothing else). As you said, let's not forget that our setter, despite showing great plays and all, is still only 20... can you imagine in 8 years, when he'll be around the "standard maturity age for a setter" (and hopefully in Rome) what he's going to do, hopefully supported by another great team as this one is? I can't wait honestly!!

Hello everyone! Rio 2016 is coming to an end and I would like to make an announcement before some users will enter into the "detoxification mode" of sports after the Olympic Games and will disappear for some months (hopefully not too much!) After the new start in March, as you know Totallympics has changed because from March on Totallympics has only been a discussion forum and not a results collection website anymore. I had to quickly restart the forum to avoid the community to die, we have lost some users, found some others, but in general I think it was a positive new start. As many of you know, I have started Totallympics in 2011 and I have had a motivation lackness in the past 12 months. Also thanks to some improvements in my professional life, I have now found some new motivations and I have already planned the new Olympic Quadriennium which will start tomorrow and will go until Tokyo 2020. What Totallympics offered until February and has totally missed after the new start is the results collection, something I would like to start again. My idea is to separate the discussion forum from the results collection part of Totallympics. And I think the best way is to keep this forum's software (IP Board) for the discussion forum (very expensive but very user friendly) and to use Discuz (the old forum's software, which is free) again for the results collection part. We would not use the Discuz part as a discussion forum, but the good thing is that Discuz is free and all Totallympics contributors already know how to use it to post results. As you may have noticed trying to post results here on IP Board, this software is very good for discussion but very bad for tables and complex formats in general. To post results in tables like we were doing on Discuz here on IP Board is not even impossible and to work with tables in general very time consuming. Also, I have tried some websites platforms in the past months but none of them are as good as Discuz for the tables and the formats we were already used to use until few months ago. So to make a summary my idea is: IP Board (Totallympics as it is now) for Discussion Discuz (Totallympics as it was from 2011 to February 2016) for Results I think this solution would make everyone happy: those who were interested to post/be informed about results and those who are just interested in the discussion. Hopefully most of you will be interested in both of the things On the Discuz forum we will have a limited number of users, because only the contributors will register, and only results will be posted. No general messages, no questions about results or olympic qualifications, no mistakes reports, everything which does not contain results will be posted on the IP Board forum. We will have some "rules" about which events to follow, I mean that everything will be standardized as it was before, to avoid someone registering and starting to post random results of minor sports competitions. Of course we will as always focus on Olympic Qualifications and hopefully we will be able to follow the biggest number possible of international competitions of both Winter and Summer Sports. All the discussions will still be here, and hopefully more and more users from each Nation will join the discussion to follow sport events with us everyday. One of the most important thing here will be to make all National Threads more and more populated so that each Nation will have at least 2 or more users who can discuss in their own national language in their National Thread. Another difference, a positive one I think because many of you complained about this, is that in the Discuz Threads we will not post "daily" results in the threads anymore, because there will be no discussion in the threads. So we will just have to update the post with results without posting "Day 1 Results", "Medal Count after Day 3" and so on anymore. We still have to decide together with admins some things, but this is the general idea. I think this is the best thing because people who wants to discuss can do it without comments being interrupted by very long results/medal count posts, people who want results will be able to use Totallympics as a source again as it happened before, and people who want to do both things will be able to do both things My main concern, right now, is who will take care of the Events of the Week Thread, because it is very time consuming and it requires a great general sports events knowledge and to be always aware of which sport events have started or will start soon. As you know, KSR was taking care of that since Totallympics launch, but I have not been able to contact him after February 2016. Hopefully he will come back one day, but I can't say when, so we need someone who will take care of that. I hope I will be able to contribute on this project as much as I can but I do not want to be in a position for which the whole Totallympics depends on me, therefore I prefer to help as much as I can, but not to let any thread or project depends exclusively on me. Another important thing is to easily and quickly link from one forum to the other one so that users can easily pass from reading results to comment and the opposite. For example, we could add a link in the first post of each thread to redirect users to the results/discussion thread in the other forum. As I said, this "split" will allow users to only use the results or the discussion part, but hopefully most of you will be interested and will take part in both of them. If you have any question or suggestion feel free to ask/propose because in the next days I don't think we will have many sport events to follow So we have time to think about the new quadriennium. In few hours Rio 2016 will be finished but Totallympics' strenght has always been to be alive for 365 days per year and our Olympic Games don't last 16 days but 4 years, so from tomorrow on our focus will be on Tokyo 2020, with of course Pyeongchang 2018 and all other daily sport events in between And I hope you will all be with us and more and more users from yours and from other nations will join us during the journey!

After tonight, I know watching Greco-Roman wrestling is not good for heart, back in London we had different set of rules. luck was a big factor in close matches, but now they changed the format which was very good in first place but with this they unleashed the monster , they gave a deadly weapon to the hands of their corrupt referees , they can give cautions whenever they want to whoever they want, it doesn't matter who is really active. they will caution whoever they want. there were so many controversial calls here, SO MANY. two of our wrestlers lost matches they should won only because they were "more" active. thanks to stupid UWW rules.
