Good, then you'd had decent pétanque players by now. How these pétanque players would have helped you in european athletics is still unknow though.

Final Standing available here LDOG crovitlaci Dunadan There you go, a gold medal for @LDOG and Argentina after...? And I guess his favourite events are yet to come? Congratulation! Medals for Croatia in prediction contest keep pouring. After FIFA World Cup, and dcro's double win, new medal for @crovitlaci! Congarts on silver Can someone ban these Italians! Medals everywhere Congrats to @Dunadan on new and bronze bronze medal! Brazilian duo was few points short from the podium but great results nevertheless @juliosilva and @Herberth Nelson Balbi Silveira also great debut for @Cobi and Spain this season Choke of the event: @AlFHg. Special thanks to @dcro for help. Thank you everyone for participation. Let's see what's Dunadan's faith tonight in Athletics EC before we take a summer break from predictions contest!

That is me indeed, like I said, it's mostly to show some things to a few specific people (and so this Brazilian biathlete () could place some videos I recorded of her competitions on Facebook

Honestly, it's the colonial empires that mostly "profit" from non-European born athletes. Whether it's current or former colonies. Also rich countries, so in a sense the rich get richer. That's the trend. I don't think there's an objective way to Iook at it, so discussions are kind of pointless...

but looks at the bright side >>

Final Standing available here Dunadan EselTheDonkey OlympicsFan What a day for @Dunadan! Two medals, bronze and gold one! It was a "photo finish", leading most of the time, but eventually winning the race. Two perfect prediction brought him the win: Men's Hammer Throw and Women's 200m. Another medal for you and team Italy! Congratulation! What second half of the championships for @EselTheDonkey! Very close to win the event, but one perfect prediction on Men's 400m Hurdles was enough for silver only this time. But I am sure he's satisfied with his second medal in a very few events he entered! Congrats It was either team Italy or team Germany, and Germany prevailed! Congrats @OlympicsFan on winning bronze medal. Great predictions throughout the championships. @Henry_Leon was there, but few points short for the podium. Finally top 5 showing for our beloved Belgian @heywooduGreat debut for @Speedy, another top 10 for @dcro and maybe a bit disappointing end contest-wise for @Monzanator but I believe he's actually very happy with the results of Polish athletes. Decent result for @chrischi08 and @Pablita Special thanks to my little elf @Werloc for all the help Thank you everyone for participation. General Standings coming in next three days and then we'll have few weeks break before we start our "fall season". I definitely need time off Until mid-September

Speaking of easy... Some of the classic Polish words for all ye foreigners

Czechoslomadagascarvakia

btw speaking about colonizing Madagascar etc... Obviously peoples forget that the first king of Madagascar was Slovak https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Benyovszky

GOLD!!!!! Rhys McClenaghan you legend!! This is huge for Irish gymnastics and our sport!! I'm so happy!

But it will have to be a mixed event with full gender equality, to catch the IOC’s eye

Nice reference to Wilson Kipketer there

Oh well, I think this year alone he already won 39 races more important and prestigious than this one

Also a PB for Calvin. Well, it was her first Marathon after all

Baseball is just not a good fit for the Olympics. The roster size is huge (24, no other team sports have more than 18 players per team), the venues are specialized, and the games are very high varience and so dependent on the pitching rotation. That and as long as MLB players aren’t competing Olympic baseball is a joke.

@Dunadan is new Deuce in term of number of wins in prediction contests

PS some of you may be relieved - we have completely "European" podium I guess

Poland was DQ

Poland

Jakubczyk doesn't like this.

Lavillenie and both Polish jumpers immediately coming to congratulate Duplantis, pole vault is a beautiful family

Ah, also in cycling this month (Tour of Qinhai Lake I believe), the guy in 2nd place is laughing his balls of when seeing his fellow attacker thinks this was the finish

I'm fairly sure this is the first time in my entire life I have read the word 'declension'.

1) What does the way his brothers feel have to do with anything? 2) How do you know how his brothers feel? 3) You are saying that it was a joke and then you still say that his brothers feel polish, so obviously it wasnt a joke after all. 4) I would rather say this forum became a better place since you stopped posting so often, never commentining about sports but only trying to push through your "agenda".

I can't find anything. Tomorrow is the entries deadline so hopefully we will know all of them soon.

Men´s Rings: 1. Eleftherios Petrounias 15.466 2. Ibrahim Colak 15.100 3. Courtney Tulloch 15.000

Option z - stop caring about general standings. Come on wanderer, count those sailing points

Tied silver. Nice to share a gymnastics podium with @OlympicIRL

This was... Interesting. Whitlock somehow ended up on top of the horse.

Italy Colonial Empire? c'mon, man! we only went to Ethiopia and Lybia and it was a poor joke...that idiot with a big fat stomach and no hair (and no brain, more than that) who used to lead our Nation in the first part of the previous Century din't even get that Lybia was rich of oil and natural gas (so, we did never benefit from the only thing that we coud have from those stupid "adventures")... and at that time we never tried to get people from those Countries to ours (slavery in Italy has been cancelled way before the modern era, even if now it's institutional...in the sense that normal working people earn a misery and have almost only constrictions and no rights, but that's just another story)... and nowadays we (as Italian people) can't do anything if many European Nations try to keep all those starving to death Africans coming to Europe within our territory... now we have more than 10% of our population that's not anymore "100% with pure Italian heritage"... what should we do? discriminate those kids who came here as little children (or even those who are born in our Nation) and avoid them to have access to our schools, sports structures and eventually to represent Italy? however, if Poland, Hungary and the other Visengrad Nations adopted a decent and really "European" policy about immigration, today they would also have a bunch of Africans getting them some medals in long distance Athletics races... because every European Nation (also yours) is way richer than those where those people are coming from and they would be a nicer place to live for them... maybe it's sad, maybe not...but that's the pure truth... p.s. the same criteria apply (at least in part) also to Central and North European Countries...but I don't want to make this thread a political one...so, let's stop this thing here, please...and just enjy the races for what they are aand for the show they put on offer...

Yes, maximum two contestants per country

Colonial Empires have nothing to do with this. Ennaoui has been living in Poland since she was a baby. She has a Polish parent. She's Polish. In the same way, Crippa has been living in Italy since he was a baby. He has two Italian parents. He's Italian. There's no difference between them and nothing else to say.

I quoted Monzanator so obviously it was for him...maybe you can read the post before replying

Ma mislim ovako na nekom takmicenju Nego za sada to jedino moze da se desi u nekom PF ili F!!

I remember her, for a Dutch website I already wrote something about that 6.57m in January last year http://frontpage.fok.nl/nieuws/757154/1/1/50/14-jarige-verspringster-maakt-indruk-met-supersprong.html

And it will be worse because the dumb broadcaster of Rio 2016 in Indonesia is the right holder for broadcasting... I don't know whether the official channel will stream something: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7oWYw9vZbkDwCi81hJpZTQ/videos If there is no streaming, you have to get an Indonesian VPN then go to vidio.com (yes, not video)

Red Running Devils

Looking at EVN... I wonder if Johaug and her creams would break all of the marathon records.

Does winter sports count? Kelly Sildaru is 16. She could have won two gold medals in Pyeongchang if she didn’t get injured during the qualification period. If she is healthy in 2022 or 2026 she will be a serious gold medal threat in the women’s ski slopestyle, half-pipe and big air.

The second most popular team sport in the world, and growing fast? Fat chance, especially as long as the NBA allows it’s players to attend.
