  2. National Thread News In the past few weeks, I have thought about the best way to deal with National Threads, there were some options on the table but at the end I have decided to keep all the National Threads open and running, without having new National Threads for each Olympic cycle. Anyway, we will change the title of the thread in each new Olympic cycle, writing "Road to X", where "X" is the next Olympic Games, and this part will be in the national language of that National Thread (it can be translated in a bit different way if the literal translation of "Road to" makes no sense in your language, anyway that is the meaning). Example 1: United States National Thread | Road to Tokyo 2020 Example 2: Italy National Thread | Strada per Tokyo 2020 This will help people to understand they can also write in their national language in the National Thread, and as always let me remind you that National Threads are important if you want more users from your nation to join in the long term. We have some communities well represented here but with an inactive National Thread and I hope this can change in the long term future. Now, users who opened their National Thread can edit the first post and add the "Road to Tokyo 2020" part in their national language. If you are not the user who opened yout National Thread (so you can not edit the first post), then contact me in private and give me the translation in your language and I will add that part in the title. Thank you!

  4. So I realize we actually have two similar topics on Totallympics, so this one may feel repetetive, but one of the other topics is just about the best moments in the Olympic Games for your country, while the other one is dedicated only to best moments from 2017, so I thought about opening a general one I want to ask you - what do you think are your nation's biggest successes in all of sport - World Championships, Continental trophy, or maybe some individual athlete's achievement? I personally will list only the ones I can remember , but feel free to post about any Moment, regardless if it is from the 1950's or already from 2018 Let me start with my top 5 5. Handball - bronze medal at the 2015 World Championships Honestly, I care about this bronze medal much more than that from the 2007 WC due to the circumstances the boys achieved it - after the shameful behaviour of referees in the semifinal game against Qatar I was sure their spirit was crushed. Then I saw one of the best Handball games by our legendary NT, and I will never forget the dramaturgy of the extra time. And then, at the end... 4. Cycling (Road) - GOLD MEDAL at the 2014 World Championships by M. Kwiatkowski I remember Michal's triumph came quickly after our win in Volleyball men's World Chamionship, and many people still in awe of that result kind of overlooked it It's a great shame, as it is definitely one of the defining moment for our Road Cycling. 3. Ski Jumping - Kamil Stoch's DOUBLE OLYMPIC GOLD, Sochi 2014 Just thinking about what Kamil has done then still gives me goosebumps. This just proved his amazing talent (and as it turned out, his full potential has not been reached until 2017/18 season) and it was the first time for many Poles,myself included, that they realized Kamil was someone special for Polish ski jumping - perhaps even more then Adam Malysz. 2. Athletics - Men 4x100 GOLD MEDAL & WR, Indoor World Championship 2018 Our Athletes brought home an amazing number of medals, but what really stood out to me was this one. I did not except such result and definitely not with a World Record. They made not only Polish history, but the history of the sport of Athletics as a whole. 1. VOLLEYBALL - MEN'S GOLD MEDAL, WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2014 (oh,come on, you knew this was coming the moment you opened the thread ) This one is unfogettable to me and millions of Polish people. What they achieved on their home soil was unbevielable. I remember the drama and tension I felt since the opening game against Serbia, and with every game I knew more and more that either something amazing or something terrible is going to happen. And it all culminated beautifully in this game. I remember this day as it were yesterday I really want to write something more, how big impact this win had on people... but I can't This was truly something one must experience to understand. The emotions are still too high But this truly was a magical night. Over 17 million people (a bit less than 50% of Poland's population) watched the deciding moments of that game. And the commentary of the decisive point I will never get it out of my head... ... But what was really special about this tournament was how it brought people together. I remember I was the only guy in the neighborhood which had access to the tv channel that broadcasted the games, so after the opening match which was broadcasted for free I invited some friends and neighbours...then, suddenly during the final - which was also broadcasted free for everyone - there were literally about 25 - 30 people watching the match in my house And after the game of course there was a big party Here is a footage of what was happening in Polish streets during the game ... And in front of the stadium after the final whistle

  5. Nah, not really. Although Gerard van Velde's gold in 2002 definitely would be in my list, but none of the gold medals this or last Olympics really 'did' something for me, it was mostly like "oh" Probably because as a child I cared completely about simply wanting the athletes with the same flag to win Whereas now I'm mostly interested in the athletes I actually like. Tom Dumoulin winning the Giro d'Italia last year was absolutely huge, the Netherlands reaching the World Cup final in 2010 was the single biggest 'thing' in Dutch sports that I can at least remember from my lifetime. The Euro 1988 semi final against West Germany was arguably the biggest though: beating the (back then still very much 'hated') arch enemy, on their home soil....it was before I was born, but from what I heard our always quiet and calm neighbour was crying on his knees in front of the TV The final was nice, but the win in the semi's was the main thing.

  7. 1 - Handball - World title in 2013. 2 - Modern Pentathlon - Bronze in London 2012. This will not happen for the next thousand years. 3 - Swimming - César Cielo gold, Beijing 2008. The most exciting podium I have ever seen. 4 - The victory over the USA and soon after the world title in women's basketball. I still believe that today we have not even won from Puerto Rico. 5 - Beach volleyball world Championship in 2015. 2 titles and 5 medals of 6 possible. Unforgettable.

Something about that I immagine: https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1062683/ukrainian-government-bans-athletes-from-competing-at-events-in-russia Something, that - btw - in an international sports forum should really be thread worthy, but god forbides: how could it fit in our perfect Khlokoz of forum ?

  14. Wouldn't it be better to let people from smaller countries (Totallympics-wise) do whatever they can (also copying news or results) considering that there aren't a lot of possible discussions when there are only one or 2 members. I can at least say that unless some sudden surge of Danish members happen, the only activity in the Danish national thread will be me trying to follow the national qualification by posting results and rankings. I like talking with myself, but on text it's just sad

  20. So if you have a national thread in which you don't really post about Olympic qualification, but more about national stuff, you are still obligated to have 'Road to Tokyo' in the thread title? Even when it makes no sense? This is not a choice for the people who actually use the thread?

  21. ROAD TO KAZAN PLAYOFF 12, 1st LEG RESULTS Halkbank Ankara 0-3 Sir Safety Perugia (18 - 25 / 22-25 / 29-31) • Halkbank ANKARA had a very demanding task when playing last year’s Champions League silver medal winners PERUGIA, who had previously swept six matches in a row in Pool A. • Halkbank struggled in defence whilst the visitors used their impressive blocks to record a comprehensive 3-0 victory. • Students from Gazi University and namely from the Faculty of Communications attended the match as part of their ‘homework’. • The ‘Block Devils’ from Perugia were the dominant force in the first set courtesy of their powerful attacks and serves. • The course of the match did not change much in the second set where Halkbank struggled in reception and tried to score points through some block-outs. However, the match was a closer affair after the first technical time-out before PERUGIA eventually doubled their lead. • Halkbank stepped up their efforts in the third set where they kept the score close up to 22-all. Both teams made some service errors before the longest set of the match ended in a 31-29 win for PERUGIA.• The Italians will have to take at least two sets from the re-match at home to secure their progression to the Playoffs 6. :BEL Noliko Maaseik 3-0 Lokomotiv Novosibirsk (25-23 / 26-24 / 30-28) Noliko MAASEIK posted a surprising 3-0 win in their first encounter with Pool C winners Lokomotiv NOVOSIBIRSK. Yet it was a thrilling game, with each set being decided by the closest of margins each time: 25-23, 26-24, 30-28. In the first, Lokomotiv’s Marcus Nilsson and local spiker Kamil Rychlicki set up a close battle until 12-all, when Jay Blankenau and Dane Mijatovic created the first little home advantage with one ace apiece: 17-14. Jelte Maan punished ‘Loko’ for a couple of poor receptions and led his team over 22-17 and then to 24-19. Sergey Savin replied fiercely, but his all-risk serve gave Noliko the first set win at their fifth set point: 25-23. After Noliko’s early five point run, the hosts established a 10-7 lead, Aleksey Rodichev levelled the set at 12-each. Again, a nerve-wracking fight unfolded. Aleksandr Tkachev’s serve put the Russians in the driver’s seat at 21-23 and 23-24, but Sebastian Gevert and Rychlicki created a huge surprise by turning things around to take the set: 26-24. The nearly 2,000 fans got completely excited when Gevert served his team to a 15-10 advantage and his substitute Jolan Cox added a kill block for a promising four-point gap at 21-17. Yet Savin and Nilsson were determined to avoid a harsh 3-0 loss when going up 22-23. Tkachev and Savin even saved four match points. However, in a dramatic finish, Lokomotiv’s coach Plamen Konstantinov didn’t agree with the ‘no-block’ result from the challenge system. He lost his temper so badly that the first referee had no choice: red card and 30-28. Despite topping the charts with 21 points, Sergey Savin couldn’t crown himself the match winner. This honour went to Kamil Rychlicki, who collected 17 points. In the return match next Wednesday (21 March), Noliko MAASEIK will need just two sets to secure their place in the Playoffs 6. PGE Skra Belchatow 2-3 Cucine Lube Civitanova (27-25 / 28-26 / 13-25 / 22-25 /10-15/) • A 2-0 lead in the match was not enough for Skra to edge the Italian powerhouse. • It was the 10th match featuring these two teams in history, with Cucine Lube having improved their record to six wins. However, Skra have claimed three of their four victories over Cucine Lube when playing away from home – which is a good omen for them ahead of next week’s rematch in Italy. • As many as 9,600 fans in attendance were full of joy after the opening two sets, where PGE Skra played close to perfection. However, the Italian champions showed great determination to come back to the match and win it in five sets.• PGE Skra line-up included Grzegorz Lomacz with the setter coming back from injury after over two months. He came back in style, giving his team much confidence. The distribution in the opening set was amazing as five PGE Skra players scored three or more points, while Tsvetan Sokolov (7) and Taylor Sander (5) were the only Cucine Lube players with more than one point to their name. • Sander came back to the starting six of the visiting team and replaced Jiri Kovar, who had scored eight points last weekend in a Playoff match and 3-0 victory versus Wixo LPR PIACENZA.• Milad Ebadipour served an important ace, when the score stood at 23-23 in the first set. It was the very first match of the Iranian outside hitter in the play-off phase of the CEV Volleyball Champions League. Bartosz Bednorz, who blocked Osmany Juantorena, after another powerful serve by Mariusz Wlazly, scored the last point of the first set. It is worth mentioning that PGE Skra successfully finished 70% of their attacks in this set – with Cucine Lube registering a 59% success rate. • With the score standing at 20-17 in the second set for the Italian team, it looked like the visitors were going to draw level in the match. PGE Skra moved to a one-point gap after Wlazly’s ace, and claimed a set point after Sokolov and Dragan Stankovic attacked out of bounds. Sokolov was also the one who sent the ball into the net, thus making it 2-0 for PGE Skra. The hosts out-blocked their opponents 5 to 2 in this set. • After two very tight sets, where the score was very close from the beginning until the end, the third was a total domination by the Italian champions, led by Sokolov, who killed five out of six attacks. Four aces and four blocks meant an easy win (25-13) for Cucine Lube.• The players from CIVITANOVA took an early lead (4-1) in the fourth set. After a series of powerful serves by Osmany Juantorena (only eight points in the previous sets) and Stankovic’s attack, Skra coach Roberto Piazza had to take a time-out. There was no moment in that set when the nearly 10,000 fans in Atlas Arena may have had hope for a better result for the home team. Sokolov kept on scoring and setter Micah Christenson was playing better and better with every ball and in every aspect of the game. • A lot of controversy came when the score stood at 9-12 in the tiebreak and the referees accepted the challenge of the home team, claiming there was a net touch. The score moved from 9-13 to 10-12, but Giampaolo Medei’s team did not lose focus and closed the match with an ace of Sokolov and a block on Wlazly. • Tsvetan Sokolov was the best scorer of the match with 27 points (22/34 killed attacks). Juantorena added 14 and Stankovic 12 for the Italian team, while Mariusz Wlazly scored 19, Srecko Lisinac 17 and Bartosz Bednorz 16 times for the home side. Chaumont VB 52 Haute Marne 3-2 Trentino Diatec (17-25 / 25-22 / 25-20 / 21-25 / 15-10 ) • Home star Stéphen Boyer – the second best scorer of the 4th Round with as many as 130 points – could not play because of injury. • His substitute Wassim Ben Tara delivered a superb performance, as he scored 18 points, and libero Jérémie Mouiel did extremely well too. • TRENTINO paid a high price for their many service errors (8) in the third set – whilst their Brazilian middle blocker Eder Carbonera had stood out in that same aspect of the game in the first set, recording two aces. • There was a great atmosphere in Reims, even though ‘only’ 1,200 fans attended the match. Berlin Recycling Volleys 2-3 VFB Friedrichshafen (22-25 / 25-23 / 23-25 / 25-18 / 12-15) As many as 6,307 fans came to Max-Schmeling-Halle in Berlin to witness this much-anticipated German derby. • VfB FRIEDRICHSHAFEN claimed an early 8-6 lead in the opening set and broke away after the first technical time-out courtesy of the service mistakes made by the home side. The BR Volleys fought as much as they could keeping their deficit as tiny as possible but the Häfler eventually won the first set 25-22. • The hosts set the pace of the game in the early stages of the second set but their opponents put up a fight before a service error by Tomas Kocian sealed a 25-23 win for the BR Volleys. • The third set was an extremely close affair all the way through with the team from the Lake of Constance having the upper hand this time around on a service error made by Pierre Pujol. • The BR Volleys broke away after the first technical timeout of the fourth set (7-8, 12-9, 16-13) but the visitors attempted a comeback. This did not materialise, and a service series by Adam White paved the way towards a comprehensive 25-18 victory for the BR Volleys. • The two teams completed their side-out all the way to 12-all in the tiebreak but a few mistakes by the hosts paved the way with gold for VfB FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, who eventually sealed a 3-2 victory. Jastrzebski Wegiel 1-3 Zaksa Kedzierzyn Kozle (19-25 / 19-25 / 25-21 / 35-33) • Maurice Torres was the best scorer for Zaksa with a personal tally of 25 points. Rising star Maciej Muzaj scored 20 times for the home side. • Zaksa claimed their 11th straight victory over JASTRZEBSKI across all – domestic and international – competitions. • In the third set, JASTRZEBSKI Wegiel head coach Ferdinando De Giorgi changed the main star of the team, Salvador Hidalgo Oliva and his alternate Rodrigo Quiroga did a good job, especially in reception.• The hosts had as many as six set points in the fourth set, but Zaksa cashed their fifth match ball to finish the game 3-1 in their favour. • The truly dramatic fourth set lasted for almost 40 minutes.

Hope you'll like it. Lyrics in Maltese Ħelwa tal-Għaġeb Ilmaħtek fil-bogħod titbissem fil-kwiet tidħakli bis-serqa, saħħartni bis-skiet imfawwar bil-ġmiel bħall-ġamar fil-lejl dak il-wiċċ Int ġawhra tad-dinja f’ħajti twelidt bħal djamant mill-isbaħ, li fl-aħħar jien sibt bit-tjieba u bl-għożża int l-aqwa ġojjell ta’ kull żmien Ħelwa tal-għaġeb idħakli fis-skiet fl-imħabba urini li tħobbni bla tmiem Int fjura mill-isbaħ, kulur fjurit li tfewwaħ u ssebbaħ qlub imsewdin twarrad f’Rebbiegħa int l-isbaħ għalija b’dak il-ġmiel Bexxaqtli xofftejk u ħmaru ħaddejk ħallejtni nintilef fil-ħarsa t’għajnejk f’dan in-namur inħoss li int żgur il-futur Ħelwa tal-għaġeb idħakli fis-skiet fl-imħabba urini li tħobbni bla tmiem Lyrics in English Amazingly Sweet I saw you far away, smiling silently secretly laughing, astonishing me with your silence filled with beauty like embers in the night that face You were born in my life gem of the world like a wonderful diamond, that I finally found with righteousness and goodness you're the best jewel of all time Amazingly sweet smile at me in silence in love show me that you love me endlessly You are a wonderful flower, flowery color to give fragrance and enriches broken hearts flowering in spring you're the most beautiful to me with that beauty You closed my lips and your cheeks became red you left me wondering in the look in your eyes in this flirt I feel that you're sure the future Amazingly sweet smile at me in silence in love show me that you love me endlessly
