:GBR bags the first gold medal of the 2023 Invictus Games. :USA:CAN snag the other medals. 
 

:CAN will be disappointed with that start. Dajko was surely aiming for 4th :p

Portugal? Mediterranean ? ..personally I always think that Portugal belongs to Mediterranean culture and ethnic group so I am happy with that but geographically :POR is not a Mediterranean country!

 

also :KOS is a landlocked country

 

both participated before but as a host city not being on Mediterranean is a bit strange!

It's more something about Mediterranan culture, it isn't a geographic things only. Portugal is a latin country and their society is strongly connect with the Mediterranan one.

@hckošice Slovakian officials met with the CEO and Winter Games Director of the FISU. No mention of a bid, but it seems odd to have a random meeting like this. (Not that those don’t happen for various reasons)

As I understand it, all post-yugoslav nations are allowed to enter in right of the former Yugoslavia.

 

Wonder why the northern European Countries don't have something like this based around the 'northern seas - North Sea, Baltic, north Atlantic and Arctic?

Interesting. Did not notice any news about this in NOC´s site, where they always daily mention every single visit or business trip of the Mr. President and his Mr. Secretery General :p. So, who knows what that mean and wheteher something is being cooked ?

 

Honestly I wouldn´t be surprised at all if we showed interest in organizing the winter universiade, for example. The winter version of the Universiade is quite popular in our country, moreover, we have experience in hosting it and our venues / infrastructures are sufficient for this level of competitions.

Artic have their own winter games, Baltic have some events too

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
