I think the Iranian controlled the game and was the better side , so i'm a bit surprised of the score !

 

The Iranian commentator was talking about that even halfway in to the next fight :d I agree with you but to be honest I was also surprised when they gave the second round to Ahangarian in the previous final. so maybe they just wanted to make it even .

So, there are how many finals going on right now and the YouTube are only showing 1 (Men’s Road Race). I don’t care about the preliminary rounds of Beach Volleyball, Volleyball; I want to see Finals please.

Nice, loud cheering crowds for both days of cycling road race. Indonesians may have found a new favorite sport.

looks like there will be no gold for Iran in Rowing. we got a silver and a bronze today and our best chance finished with silver behind Vietnam :( still have two slim chances for the gold tomorrow.

 

today was also better in Taekwondo. both of them made it to the semifinal. at least our women's team won't go home empty handed.

I’m sorry the all the equestrian lovers out there, but dressage will never be exciting to me, ever.

This :d

 

The Netherlands can win every medal they want, I just don't get it and never will. I mean, it's cool and all that someone can work together with a horse that well, but then what? There is, in my opinion, not a single moment of excitement in an entire competition :p

I was watching a bit of a pair from Oman against a pair from the Maldives....that was painful. Almost all of Oman's points came from stuff like the Maldives players just smashing the ball right into the net or way out of bounds, whereas most of the Maldives points came from Oman making a mistake on the serve and hitting it into the net instead of the Maldives players actually making the point..

This is reminding me a little of the Tour of Rwanda, it's really nice to see :cheer:

 

Too bad I have to close everything off and get to the train station in 20 minutes :(

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
