despite this humble performance against Ghana , Egypt is now closer than ever to reach WC , in Cuper we trust

and you will always have at least one chum from Slovakia in this forum to watch it with you

I know, race walking is just a very, very niche event. Like Nordic combined in the winter. The bad thing about it is that it doesn't get a lot of attention, the good thing is that you often have a close group of "die hard" fans I mean, I don't care if Toth or Dunfee or Tallent are participating or not, I would put my alarm any time of the night to wake up for a 50k

I do In fact, right after the Olympics I made a list on a Dutch forum with my 20-30 highlights of the Games (and one with my 20-30 "lows"), and I am pretty sure the 50k race walk was first or second Mostly because Evan Dunfee's epic walk, the drama around Diniz and Toth finishing it off in grande style

It was a clear foul on him, ref didn't whistle anything and he lost his nerves. Stupid red card, but it happens. Still hope Bosnia can catch 2nd place, they're definitely better team than Greece.

Sorry I worded that wrong. There has been past precedence for a 16 year old... so worst case scenario is that age.

Woohoo! Ireland qualifies for the European Mixed Team Championships again The full list of qualifiers are:

I am still surprised Slovenia does not compete in this sport. First olympic medal took Rudolf Cvetko in 1912 (Fencing), I know you are familiar with our Swimming (Sara Isakovič) and Athletics (Primož Kozmus, Jolanda Čeplak, Brigita Bukovec,...) medals. Do not forget about our experiences in shooting (Rajmond Debevec), and we even have very good training facilities for Equestrian (Lipica, Celje,..). So, it is really strange not competing in this event. BTW, as many of you I am also extremely dissapointed on media production of this wonderful sport. As we would still be living way back in 20th Century.
