this was our worst game in last 6 years. Italy probably will be in Olympics fairly. Serbia also. And France probably (although i would prefer to see also Canada)

I am disappointed because I love the Greek team ... no water polo female or male basketball ..

Well, Puerto Rico again.

 

Hm, I would thought that Latvia and Czechs would be stronger opponents with this Puerto Rico roster, but.. Euro players are tired, Czechs didn't look like they did last summer, they spent only 3 or 4 days together prior to this tournament. Vesely is very tired, it was very notable.

 

So, if Puerto Rico doesn't have one of the best shooting performances ever with guys like Barea, Aroyo, Vasallo shooting lights out (which they are capable don't get me wrong) we will be in Rio. One more game, I don't want to sound too optimistic but I am inclined it will be a blowout rather than close game. But, hey, everyting is possible.

our female water polo team is in decline. Our male basketball team has much potential but for 3rd straight year at the crucial knockout match we couldnt win. We had also some absences (Printezis, Sloukas) but of course this can not be an excuse since Croatia also had its own ones (Tomic)

No team sport for Czechs this time. very disappointing end of a streak. 2000 mens football (it was a awesome edition with both CZE and SVK participating in the tournament but unfortunately because the games were in september both teams had to send only their "C teams", because clubs didn´t allowed to send the players whch in fact qualified both nations to Sydney), 2004, 2008 and 2012 womens basketball..but well honestly it was expected against Serbia, but still sad

It wasn't C team in 2000. It was A team without some stars - maybe B team :-) it is very difficult to qualify to olympic games in team sport for european countries nowadays. Some continents for example oceania or Africa have guaranteed spots. We were the closest for qualify in football. But the same as in 2008 and 2012, we lost in final qualification match. I think that the biggest chance to qualify in future will have our women basketball team or nobody. :-)

    • Besides, I think Eitrem will be better than Ghiotto. You can see it after 1500 meters. He is younger. The whole Norwegian team is also in great shape. You just have to look at the team Norway has, how many new and young skaters there are and in our group A there is one Trentini, who takes last place. In every winter sport we invest too little money to be counted.
    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event
