That is excellent news no matter what you think of any nation. Also, possibly not entirely unrelated: If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Yep, and I really don't care about which country it is. If the Netherlands would refuse Turkish athletes (not happening, but there's some tension) I'd also say the Netherlands should be stripped off any hosting rights. Don't refuse athletes, simple as that. phelps 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

phelps 6,770 Posted July 27, 2018 #57 Share Posted July 27, 2018 day #1 at the Judo Grand Prix in Zagreb (CRO), with some valuable points in the race to Tokyo up for grab... and Japan, who else? is immediately on top of the medal table with 2 out of 5 possible Gold medals (Ai Shishime, women's -52kg and Naohisa Takato, men's -60kg)... Canada (Christa Deguchi, who beat Jessica Klimkait in an all-Canadian bout in the final of the women's -57kg), Ukraine (Daria Bilodid, women's -48kg) and Israel (Tal Flicker, men's -66kg) won the remaining Gold medals (1 each, of course)... 8 more Countries won at least 1 medal, but no Gold... unfortunately, Italy is not among them...only 2 5th places for us...

phelps 6,770 Posted July 28, 2018 #58 Share Posted July 28, 2018 day #2 at the Judo Grand Prix in Zagreb (CRO) Akil Gjakova (men's -73kg), Dominic Ressel (men's -81kg), Nami Nabekura (who defeated the Slovenian ace Tina Trstenjak in the final match of the women's -63kg) and Marie Eve Gahie are today's winners in Zagreb... 10 more Nations won a medal, but no Gold... for Italy, "only" a silver medal at the end of the day, thanks to the -66kg Olympic Champion Fabio Basile, who was second in his new -73kg class... he looked very inspired through the preliminary block, but then he got a slight injury to his right leg that gave him some trobles in the semifinal (still managed to beat Butbul, ISR) and too many troubles in the final, where he had a really poor outing against Gjakova (and beside that, he was also heavily annoyed by the ref, an Asian woman, who gave him a couple of shido quite early in the bout, closing her eyes on Gjakova's repeated escape from fighting)...

phelps 6,770 Posted July 29, 2018 #59 Share Posted July 29, 2018 final day at the Judo Grand Prix in Zagreb (CRO) today's titles went to Georgia (Avtandili Tchrikishvili in the -90kg & Guram Tushishvili in the +100kg) + Russia (Niyaz Ilyasov in the -100kg) among the men, meanwhile they were France (Madeleine Malonga in the -78kg) and Slovenia (Anamari Velensek in the +78kg) to spoil the party in the women's division... Japan won the medal table (who else?) with 3 Gold Medals, followed by France and Georgia with 2. 7 more Countries won 1 Gold medal each and in total 24 Nations won at least 1 medal (all Continents but Oceania represented in the final medal table)...
