Why archery? And Kristel Vourna shouldn't be chosen because she failed to achieve the required FINA A-cut in the 100 m butterfly.

Dimitris Dimitriou and Kristel Vourna (swimming) and Evangelia Psarra (archery) have been invited to the Games. The Greek Olympic Committee has confirmed the news. Here's the announcement (in Greek): http://www.hoc.gr/el/node/1763

 

No invitational quota has been granted to Greece in Javelin though. Psarra qualifies because Ivory Coast has declined the quota.

Very weird, something like 12 athletes had to withdraw for him to get invited. Maybe it's another Greek mistake.

 

And one of the athletes that is in front of Greek is Slovakian javelin thrower. I'm sure hckosice would post as soon as he could if he got invited. :p

 

I think it´s just a BS.

and no. no news about any invitation for us as you know :d

Really? How did it happen? And Greece can't send two swimmers if one of them fails to achieve the required A-cut. This is a complete BS. Very bad decision.

 

Are you sure Ivory Coast has declined the quota? The nation had just selected its archer in the women's recurve.

Don't know what happened with Vourna, all I know is that the Greek Olympic Committee has announced that she will be a part of the team.

It seems it's the IOC that pushed towards her participation to the Games.

 

As for Psarra, Greek Archery federation claims that Psarra was invited after Ivory Coast declined to participate. They received the quota today.

 

The news regarding the javelin quota are completely inaccurate, no Greek media has reported anything about it.

But Ivory Coast participated at the African Championships. This is so vague. Greece's Evangelia Psarra was just listed as reserve and the next highest-ranked archer, not yet qualified, at the Archery World Cup.

Yes, if I'm not mistaken Ivory Coast's quota should have gone to Africa. So I guess we have to assume that South Africa, Morocco, Algeria, Chad and Benin all declined the quota.

President of KOE said that this is cruel what FINA done about Vourna. Executive director FINA Cornel Marculescu said on the letter to him, after consultation with MOK, Vourna can go in Rio.

    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
