:JAM is also guaranteed to win a medal in judo. I don’t think they even had a proper program a few years ago. 

Ashley McKenzie switch allegiance to Jamaica about a month ago. He is a former Olympian and more recently won gold at the 2022 Commonwealth Games under :ENG.

Yeah, the commentators (at the CG Games) mentioned how they’ve been recruiting diaspora to get things started last year.

:ISV took an overtime loss to :DOM. I didn’t expect them to be competitive against the DR, let alone almost beat them. A very positive start to the Games in women’s basketball :thumbup:

:GUY barely missed out on the semifinals of women’s doubles in table tennis. They won the first two sets, but :VEN came back and won the next three :(

:ARU beat :COL in the solo technical :yikes:

 

:MEX waiting for her score now. I think she’ll win, and definitely impartial even though performed to one of my favorite Spanish songs (“Gracias A La Vida”)

 

Edit: Silver for :ARU :clap:

Anyone find stream for table tennis and judo? I haven’t been able to find any yesterday or today. I’m not sure they’re being broadcast, but I’d like to watch if they are :d

De Lara :MEX with a Games Record (1:00.23) in the men’s 100m breaststroke. It’s been a good day for Mexico. 
 

:HON joins the medal table in the same race.

Harvey :BER just misses out on a medal in the women’s 100m backstroke. She lead at the turn, but went out slightly too hard I think :(

    • Well, we lived through Caroline Wozniacki representing Denmark and there was some talk if she could switch to Poland early on but she said no since she lived her entire life in Denmark anyway. But she was very popular here. On the other side Angelique Kerber who also has Polish ancestry actually lived in Poland on her grandfather's estate (which was a tennis academy). In the last few years except Eugenia Bujak (cycling) switching to Slovenia due to a conflict with the federation we don't really have such cases. I can understand many Italians have their opinion on Colturi & her mother alas it's boosted by the lack of other top end prospects in your skiing now (and some other winter sports). I'm surprised Italian journalists haven't figured out what's behind Colturi's switch already because it has to be money or "personal differences" either way.
    • Or is Girardelli respected in Austria these days...
    • We must ask our Austrian users if they cheered for Girardelii. But do we have any Austrian users LOL?
    • It's just that Austria had a lot of skiers in that time and we don't have any others among the young ones now.
    • Marco Girardelli went to Luxembourg one day and he had a great career. I doubt he did regret that move.

    • You know, but we still don't know what that was about. Ceccarelli has a difficult character but still changing colors to a country with which you have absolute no connetions? What would you say if Iga Swiatek fell out with the Polish tennis federation and started playing for Luxembourg or Andorra? Certainly not everyone would decide to take such a step, even if they had to give in a little in talks with the federation.    Another thing is that the Italian training system simply doesn`t work. As you can see, there are talents but we don`t know how to train them. Since the golden generation born in 1990-1995 (Brignone, Bassino, Goggia) we haven`t trained anyone who would stand on the podium in giant slalom or slalom in World Cup. So something is wrong. At the beginning of the 21st century we had a large group of good athletes in giant slalom (maybe not at Brignone's level): Karbon, Moelgg, Putzer, Gius, etc., who were able to win World Cups, win World Championship medals, etc. Now we have no one. In women's giant slalom for example: if Brignone and Bassino are gone, even getting to the first 20 in World Cup will be a problem for us.
    • I remember that Lara Gut's family also had a conflict with the Swiss federation at the beginning of her career around 2008/2009 but it was resolved. I remember that the family also wanted to have a greater influence on their daughter's career. It was probably similar here. If there was a will from both sides, an agreement should have been reached. Especially since Colturi has zero ties with Albania. Sinner could have played for Austria sooner, as a person from South Tyrol.
    • Berrettini defeated Kokkinakis in 3 set   And now, it's Sinner time.
    • Well, it was to be expected that Colturi was going to have a breakout result like that sooner or later and the state of Italian alpine skiing will create some very long faces. But hey, if Italy  let their "best" prospect walk because of money then it's their fault. If there was some personal feud between Ceccarelli & federation it's even worse.
