The IOC is trying really hard to get rid of eights. We'll probably lose one of the four person boats soon too.

Obstacle course? My lord this is some bad shit. Guess the urban events are being sold as the new future. What a load of croc. Just kill this sport already. I have a feeling it will die within the next five years anyway. Rope swing? American Gladiators had more innovation 30 years ago than this shit.

First, every single one of our canoeing specialists had to change their discipline, European and World Champions had to forget about sprints and learn longer distances, jump into different boats, never having canoed in doubles or fours.

 

Then, this whole modern-pentathlon shake up in which we have a long and successful history.

 

It feels like this is a master plan to sabotage Lithuania, with many of our strategic sports under fire. 

 

I don't care about making Olympics more hip with the youth, I was young when I fell in love with the Olympics and I don't particularly feel that the event catered to me, because it didn't have to. Rollerskating, skateboarding, wall-climbing, golfing, breakdancing, 13yo gold medalists... it's just ughhh making this a joke for me.

 

Don't blink, they'll find a way to ruin Athletics, Rowing and Swimming for me too.

Welcome to the club

 

SVK Olympic strength (Rio 2016 :SVK medals)

 

4 Medals (2-2-0)

 

Gold:  Canoe Slalom C2 (the pride of Slovak sport and Olympics glory) ---------  Evaporated from the program and non-existing discipline anymore

Silver:  Canoe Sprint K4-1000m --------------- non-olympic anymore

Gold:   Race Walking 50km ............................. Non-existing anymore

 

Silver:   the only remaining is Canoe Slalom M C1 ...... waiting for extinction, because, you know, apparently you must build a venue for this since the river is not enough anymore

I can bet my house IOC never imagined they go help Slovakia with this move, until the boy from Bratislava came with his last round 11 birdies  :lol:

    • Women's Champions League   Chelsea FC 1 - 4 FC Barcelona (agg 2-8)    Barcelona have equalled Lyon's record of reaching five finals in a row, with the final in Lisbon to be their 100th Champions League game.   Olympique Lyonnais 1 - 4  Arsenal WFC  (agg 3-5)   Arsenal celebrate their first-ever away win in a UEFA two-legged semi-final tie, which takes them into the final for the first time since they lifted the trophy in 2006/07.   The Final will be in Lisbon, Estadio Jose Alvarde, on 24th May
    • Many things, probably they thought it is already over and the win will come itself... but also Nitra improved their play a lot, they outplayed us in physicality in the last 2 games, they won almost every duel. Was hard to watch. Anyway I am still persuated we will finish the job at home with success on Tuesday
    • If you look at their results this season and on the Super Series, it’s not really that surprising.    I’d consider them to be medal contenders. 
    • At one point it seemed we were making good progress in this sport, but in the past 1-2 years things seem to have hit a standstill..   Ivaylo Ivanov is still our only elite judoka, but he is passing 30. There were/are some promising youngsters, but they haven't been able to make a jump to the senior level. At this Euro we barely had any first round wins (not including Ivanov). In fencing and taekwondo the results are much more visible for us. 
    • yes, but that's only an (important) episode... I mean, what's up with your team more in general...it looks like they got the classic "fear to win", they're not as brilliant as they were in the early games of the series
    • after a few leagues ended well before the true climax, now we have both leagues from the good, old Czechoslovakia going to game #7    shame that both games will be at the exact same time   
    • complete blackout resulting in a 5 minutes major 3 minutes to the end
    • Extraliga Playoffs   The Finals (Best-of-7 Series)   Game #6: HC Kometa Brno (4) - HC Dynamo Pardubice (3)  1-5 (0-1, 0-1, 1-3)   the series is tied 3-3 and also in Czechia we're gonna watch the magic of a game 7...Extraliga does never disappoint its fans    Game #7 is scheduled for Tuesday, April 29th in Pardubice @ 6 p.m. CET
