Some of us have no social lives so.....

 

I’ll give you a better :POL update tomorrow with results and whatnot. 

Cool, I'm still sleeping. I only slept and slept for work all weekend just 6 hours, so everything comes to me slowly.

 

 

 

 

Thanks in advance that in general you want something like that especially for me.

And now for my...checks clock...6 hours of sleep ? 

For me, 6 hours of sleep is perfect. During Rio I slept for 2-3 hours all the time and then I had to get sick of it, because my brain couldn't stand the pace.

@TomJa I'll relieve @Olympian1010 from his promise and do it myself ;) 

 

So :POL 

 

- Beach Handball - our girls won with :AUS 2:0 (15:12, 19:12) and :CHN 2:0 (22:20, 21:13), lost with :VIE 1:2 (21:20, 16:22, 4:7), :ESP 1:2 (7:16, 16:12) and :GRE 1:2 (21:20, 14:18). They took 4th place in group B and today will play in quarterfinal with winners of group A - :BRA (didn't lose a single period yet)

 

- Beach Volleyball 4x4 - our guys won with :MOZ 2:0 (21, 22) and :CHI 2:0 (19, 13), lost with :AUS 0:2 (21, 15). They took second place in group B and in todays quarterfinal will play with third team of group A - :GER 

 

- Open Water Swimming - our only swimmer Krzysztof Pielowski was 6th in 5 km. To the winner ( :ITA Guidi) he lost 8 seconds, to the medal 5 seconds.

 

- Aquathlon - Alicja Ulatowska was 7th in women's race. She lost 1:26 to the winner ( :ESP Tous) and 0:47 to the medal. Kamil Damentka was 15th in men's competition. He lost 1:45 to the winner ( :ESP Vinuela) and 1:24 to the medal.

 

- Kitefoil - Julia Damasiewicz was second in first women's race and Magdalena Wojciechowska was 5th. In men's race Maksymilian Zakowski was 12th.

 

Today our athletes play in quarterfinals in handball and volleyball and start in next kitefoil races (there are planned seven of them for each gender but I don't know if it's possible - some of them are rescheduled from yesterday).

Huge upset in the beach Handball quarterfinals. :DEN 0 - 2 :ESP. Denmark was first in their group (not losing a match), and Spain was fourth in theirs.

@phelps this is the first time I’ve seen your young boulder prodigy. She’s gotten the farthest on the first boulder (before the best twi in the semifinals). I’m quite impressed.

Pakistan only has one athlete at the games, but he’s doing damn well in Beach wrestling right now.

    • Club season volleyball, NFL, NHL, NBA, some tennis, Men’s World Junior Hockey Champs, Canadian Curling Mixed Doubles Olympic Trials, and Bobsleigh/Luge/Skeleton/Alpine Skiing WC’s 
    • As long as it’s not multiple countries worldwide (unless it’s countries bordering each other…), anywhere in India, Saudi Arabia, and probably even Doha I’m fine with pretty much anywhere. 
    • If Coe wins they will definitively try to host the games in Saudi Arabia at some point, but 2036 seems too early (esp with SA also having the World Cup in 2034).
    • Additional Sports at Brisbane 2032   The final sports program for Brisbane 2032 can be reasonably expected in the first half of 2028, as occurred in 2024 when confirmation of the Los Angeles Olympics final sports program was announced.   T20 Cricket Cricket is a hot favourite to continue at Brisbane 2032 following it’s debut at LA2028.   77 countries play T20 Cricket world wide according to the latest ICC World Rankings.     Flag Football This sport is actually becoming very popular in Australia and also world wide.  There are 20 million players around the globe currently playing it.Flag    So, I think it has a better than even chance of being continued at Brisbane 2032.   Flag Football played in 100 countries, 20 million players world wide   Australia embracing the rise of Flag Football   Lacrosse This is another booming sport internationally.   Australia is ranked 4th in the world in both women’s and men’s Lacrosse. It’s another sport which has a good chance to continue at Brisbane 2032.   Lacrosse was played in the Olympics in 1904 and 1908. It was a also a demonstration sport in 1928, 1932 and 1948.    AFL Nines / Rugby League Nines Both AFL and Rugby League I believe will really struggle to win a spot at Brisbane 2032.   The days of “demonstration sports” is long gone from the Olympics and I can’t honestly see either making it on to the final Brisbane 2032 program.   Netball Fast5 With both women’s and men’s teams, I think that Netball Fast5 (women’s and men’s) has got a fair chance for inclusion in 2032.   Fast5 women’s world series competitions have been played since 2009 with men’s teams included since 2022.   Australian Men’s Team wins Netball Fast5 World Series and does viral dance   Incidentally, 50 countries currently play the regular Netball format with Australia ranked No. 1 in the world.   Baseball / Softball Both have been in and out of the Olympics over the years so much its hard to keep up.  They were recently dropped for Paris 2024 but included at LA2028.   It’s 50/50 if they will continue to Brisbane 2032.   Surfing and Sport Climbing Surfing and Sport Climbing will soon be formally added to Brisbane 2032 sports program with both having earned permanent sport status from LA2028 onwards.   3x3 Basketball 3x3 Basketball is already part of Brisbane’s sports program in 2032 and will be played at the Southbank Piazza.   Karate Following it’s debut at Tokyo 2020, Karate was dropped for the Paris 2024 and LA2028 and not looking good for Brisbane.   Breaking As we know, Breaking was dropped for LA2028 and I can’t see it being included at Brisbane 2032.   Permanent Status at Olympics   Once a sport is played at three consecutive Olympic Games, it becomes a permanent sport at the Olympic Games.   So from LA2028 onwards, the following sports will be permanent in future Olympic Games:   3x3 Basketball BMX Freestyle Skateboarding Sport Climbing Surfing  
    • For that to happen, the IOC would first have to get agreement from international sporting federations, national olympic committtees and IOC members themselves to relax the current July/August Olympics hosting dates requirement and allow the Games to be held in the cooler months.     Many can be expected to oppose such a dates change as it be very disruptive to existing competitions.   When and if that such an IOC hosting rule change happens, it would certainly open the door from hot cpuntries like middle east nations such as  Saudi Arabia, Qatar or United Arab Emirates (Dubai) to host the Games say in cooler November-December.   We know that a Games in the oppressve July/August heat in the middle east would be impossible and deadly for athletes, officials and spectators.   So there’s a lot of hoops to jump through first before such a dates change can occur.  With Games in these New Norm days being awarded around 10 years or so ahead of the Games, that means there’s actually not a lot of time to get this through before 2026 comes around, which is the 10 year mark before a 2036 Summer Olympics.

    • What are your impressions of the Italian team in the first part of the season? What were your expectations?
    • The Italian team is still doing terribly. While there has been stabilization at an average level for women, there has been a dramatic downward slide for men. Today the only skier in the top 30 was Elia Barp - 23rd place. The rest without comment. Pellegrino is already going down due to age. De Fabiani is missing from 2 seasons, Graz isn`t making any progress. The only hope is Barp but he is also very unstable. Compared to the French team, we are 10 years behind I no longer believe that we will ever be reborn in this sport. If starting at home and having a theoretical advantage in materials, we are able to have 1 skier to 30 in the freestyle technique, which has always been better for us, it's hard to even comment on that.
    • All three women at todays podium was born 1988
    • Ebba Andersson 32nd. Meltdown continues. I wonder if she got the same infection as Dahlqvist and Hagström
