Our U18 women's team might make history at the European Championships (Division A). We won our group and then lost in the round of 16 and in the 9-16 classification game, so now we have to play the 13-16 classification games. If we end up being one of the three teams relegated (very likely at this point), I wonder if we will be the first team to ever get relegated at a European Championships after winning the group.

 

Surely it has to be a first, especially as the format changed a few years ago and prior to that this was not possible.

 

What an incredible achievement for our girls :facepalm:

We beat Bosnia and Israel beat Sweden. This means that Bosnia and Sweden are both relegated to Division B.

 

Greece vs Israel tomorrow in the 13th place game will determine which team stays in Division A and which gets relegated...

Also our u16 men's team seems impressive, they beat Spain 75-47 yesterday. I don't know much about this age group but Spain is always good so to win and by such a large margin is very good.

 

We are currently playing in Skopje against the hosts. They were whistling and screaming against our u16 players, kind of ridiculous as they are young kids but I am not at all surprised. There was a similar situation at a women's handball match there a few years ago where our girls (I think u17 or u15) were being yelled at with racial slurs.

 

FIBA also put the country name in the title as "Macedonia" without "North," although they fixed it now (only after a lot of backlash).

 

People from both countries were acting very crazy in the live chat so FIBA had to disable the chat for all. Sad to see.

 

Anyways, we are leading with 25-8 right now so I don't think we care as long as we maintain our lead :d

^We won by 30 points. The crowd kept chanting "Turkiye-Turkiye" but we had the last laugh in the end :p

Sadly our best guard, Eleftherios Liotopoulos, got injured and will be out for the rest of the tournament.

 

 

Our girls lost to Israel, so they got relegated. I also wonder if a team has ever won 3 games and still gotten relegated? We must be breaking all kinds of records with this team :facepalm:

I'm not too fond of basketball lately, but seems we've been winning a lot of stuff recently.

 

Women's u18 European just a week ago, medals in EYOF, a lot of important victories in 3x3.

 

Perhaps Lithuanian basketball is regaining some quality.

    • I have reported this again and they said it should be fixed now, please let me know if you are still facing issues.
    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
    • Here's my calculations of the quotas.
